- Quick Answer: With version 1.0.5 of Marathon rolling out, the patch notes revealed all the changes, including the addition of a new map.
Update 1.0.5 is now rolling out for Marathon players, and Bungie has shared the respective patch notes. The update brings a good amount of fixes and optimizations, but the real meat is in the new content, as this version has finally added the anticipated fourth new map: Cryo Archive.
In the past few days, players uncovered a cryptic message that alluded to this upcoming area. For those unaware, Cryo Archive is located on board the abandoned UESC Marathon Ship and is meant to be an endgame zone, where raiding successfully could prove to be more challenging.
However, this also means that the area will feature exclusive loot items and perks, which have also been added to the files with the update.
Here are the complete patch notes for update 1.0.5 of Marathon:
Item Economy
- Added three new random-rolled implant perks that can only be found on implants looted from Cryo Archive:
- Covert Recovery: While in smoke, your self-repair speed is increased and you use healing consumables faster.
- Freeloader: Defeating an enemy with a knife attack grants a small amount of tactical and prime ability energy.
- Panic Response: While at low health, using a healing consumable grants the effects of Cardio Kick for a short duration.
- Added three new mods that can only be looted from Cryo Archive:
- Punishment: This weapon deals significantly increased damage against [REDACTED] combatants.
