Marathon Development Team

And in the meantime - keep doing what Tau Ceti demands: be ruthless out there and never stop debating what a Rook’s life is really worth.

So thank you for showing up the way you have. Keep telling us what you love, when we’ve missed the mark, and keep being the kind of community that makes this worth building.

When you take the time to be thoughtful and constructive, it helps us move faster and make better calls, and we’re committed to acting on that as quickly as we can.

We also want to take a moment to say thank you. From the start, our goal with Marathon has been a real partnership with this community - and the respectful, candid feedback you’ve shared has already made a difference.

And an early look at the Arachne Shell style, featuring Triage:

And, those on the premium track:

But wait, how cool are these? Well, here's a quick preview of what's being added to the Rewards Pass starting with the new items on the free track:

These are just our changes for Season 1. We'll continue to iterate on what the Rewards Pass and future earned rewards look like in Season 2 and beyond.

LUX: As a reminder, the $9.99 (or regional equivalent) LUX bundle now grants 1120 total LUX, up from 1100. Everyone who purchased this bundle prior to this change has been credited 20 LUX per bundle purchased.

Earned Arachne Shell Styles: Disciples of Arachne will soon be able to earn Arachne Shell Styles through the Codex as part of an upcoming update, also targeting mid-April to align with the middle of the season.

We're also adding a WSTR Shotgun Style and a Profile Emblem to the free track. We are aiming for these added rewards to come in mid-April to align with the middle of the season.

S1 Rewards Pass: We're adding three new Runner Shell Styles to the premium track (Thief, Assassin, Destroyer) and one to the free track (Recon).

When you spend in Marathon we want you to get great value - whether that's the game, the deluxe edition, the Rewards Pass, or the in-game store. We've heard your feedback on the Rewards Pass, so this season we're making the following improvements:

We have identified an issue where the Twitch Sponsored Kit acquired from a Twitch Drop can be inadvertently deleted if a player's vault is completely full, instead of into the overflow.

Make sure that you have room in your vault before claiming the Twitch Sponsored Kit from your in-game mailbox.

You can keep it in your vault for now if you like, but it doesn't have any actual functionality.

We are currently investigating a bug where a dummy item is being created for the Premium Reward Pass Voucher. This item is not necessary to claim your rewards and can be safely sold or discarded. Nothing happens if you give it to someone else.

We have deployed a server-side update to fix an issue on Outpost where Thief Runners could bypass the Pinwheel challenge. No client update is required.

If you're encountering this, please let us know on the Marathon Official Discord. Please make sure you tell us your Bungie Name, where you are playing from, and how often you see Weasel errors.

➡️ We have seen reports of Weasel error codes and are continuing to investigate! We believe we have been able to mitigate some of these but want to ensure we're being as thorough as possible.

➡️ Speaking of Server Slam rewards, the Twitch Drops that were up for grabs are also continuing to roll out. These can take a bit but will be delivered to your in-game Mailbox.

➡️ If you missed your Server Slam rewards or happened to delete the message, we re-sent them all in full! Be sure to check your mailbox and claim them once you've cleared room in your Vault.

➡️ We saw some initial reports of LUX purchases taking a while to be credited to your account, but this one is all taken care of as well. If you are still having delays between when you purchase and when your account is credited, let us know!

➡️ Deluxe Edition items are now available to all players that purchased this version of the game. If you were impacted by this during the first few hours of launch, you will be gifted 150 LUX for your troubles - this will happen by Saturday, March 7 at 9AM PT.

Here's a quick recap in case you missed some of our messages from yesterday:

(cont'd)

➡️ Increased the distance objective nav points appear from 10m to 20m.
➡️ Increased the number of Med Cabinets and Munitions Crates that can spawn on Perimeter.
➡️ Increased the amount of starting ammo in MIDA, CyberAcme, and Arachne free Sponsored Kits.

Next week, we'll be issuing our first update for Marathon! We'll have full patch notes when it arrives, but here are a few previews before the weekend:

In addition to this, we've seen the rest of your feedback about Marathon's purchasable cosmetics. We want to ensure that when you spend in Marathon you feel like you are getting great value and discussing ways to improve this experience.

As a part of this whole process, we'll be crediting 20 LUX to players for each $10 LUX bundle they purchased before this change occurred.

In the near future, we're making an adjustment to the amount of LUX you get for the $10 (or regional equivalent) LUX bundle to grant 1120 LUX (1000 + 120), up from 1100 LUX (1000 + 100). (cont'd)

Thank you for joining us for the first few days here on Tau Ceti! Thanks to your reports and feedback, we've been able to get some fixes out the door - and we're preparing a patch for next week.
