Weekly Free Kits Enhance Marathon Gameplay
- Players receive a free Cryo Archive Sponsored Kit weekly
- The update aims to increase accessibility for all players
- Changes to the WSTR shotgun include damage adjustments
Marathon has introduced a new update to enhance its "item economy," now providing players with one free Cryo Archive Sponsored Kit each week. This initiative aims to encourage participation in the challenging weekend-only endgame zone, the Cryo Archive.
The Cryo Archive poses a significant challenge for players, requiring a loadout worth at least 5,000 credits to enter. As an extraction shooter, failing to exfiltrate results in losing everything brought into the game, adding to the pressure. After community feedback, Bungie implemented this free loadout offer to make the experience more attainable.
In addition to the new kit feature, the update also includes adjustments to the WSTR combat shotgun, raising damage while fine-tuning its effectiveness against AI targets. Overall, the changes have been well-received, with players hopeful that they will attract a larger audience to this thrilling raid.
