Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- Bungie is introducing Vault Breaker, an experimental PvE mode in Marathon where players explore the Cryo Archive map and tackle increasingly difficult vaults, earning Vault Data currency to upgrade their Sponsored Kit and exchange for gear usable in the main game.
- Vault Breaker is designed to be a low-risk, high-reward mode suitable for solo players, aiming to provide variety without disrupting the game’s economy or overwhelming players with endgame loot.
- Upcoming updates include an evolution of the Cradle system to offer new cosmetic rewards and incentives for continued play, along with quality-of-life improvements and player profile stats in the mid-season update scheduled for July.
- Marathon season three will launch on September 22, featuring significant changes to the early game, including a revamped Perimeter map with new areas and encounters, a new Runner shell, additional weapons, gear, and other content surprises.
