Bungie may have suffered impairment losses, but at least Marathon will receive an infusion of new content soon. Season 2: NIGHTFALL begins on June 2nd, with a full reveal set for May 25th of the new Runner Shell, weapons, and Night Marsh, a nighttime version of Dire Marsh.
In the meantime, the end of Season 1 means you should really use all the gear hoarded in your Vault due to the upcoming reset. Map Events such as Intercept, Lockdown and more will now appear, guaranteed, in a run, and Wardens will drop keys for locked rooms without the slightest hint of RNG.
That doesn’t mean you can stroll around with Sponsored Kits and expect to prosper. New PoIs in Perimeter, Dire Marsh and Outpost will feature Wardens spawning in, and UESC dropships have become more common on Perimeter. There’s also a “new threat” on Dire Marsh that will try to “shut down Runner activity,” which certainly sounds like a hacker unit of some sort. Faction EXP from all sources is also increased while end-of-season objectives provide additional progress.
If all that wasn’t enough, Cryo Archive, the game’s end-game zone, is available from May 21st until June 2nd when Season 2 begins. Players will receive a free Cryo Archive Sponsored Kit daily, which should be good to farm for Cryo Archive: Ranked when it’s live from May 24th, 10 AM PT to May 28th.
Stay tuned for more details from Season 2 in the coming weeks, and check out Marathon’s current roadmap in the meantime.
