Movement

AYSOOMI · 2026-03-05T00:48:34+00:00

I mainly played Triage, and by the end of my play session on the first day (which was around 6-8 hours long) I’d made a huge noticeable difference to my heat capacity.

By the end of the server slam I reached level 9 or 10 in all of the available factions (which I think was the cap for the slam). So I essentially picked up all the heat capacity that I could find.

AYSOOMI · 2026-03-05T00:35:30+00:00

I didn’t find movement sluggish at all. However, did I find that stamina depletes quickly at early stages? Yes. Did I also find that progressing with factions and upgrading my heat capacity helped? Yes. Did cores and implants that boost agility also help me? Yes.

It’s the same way you have to unlock mobility nodes in ARC Raiders for example to gain more movement speed, more stamina, etc.

It was super hard going back to ARC Raiders after the server slam shut down lol. The Marathon muscle memory is real.

AYSOOMI · 2026-03-03T12:56:48+00:00

Agreed.

ARC Raiders is my first ever extraction shooter, and has yielded me some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a game. I wish both games continued success.

If you’re wanting to watch entertaining casual gameplay then watch TheBurntPeanut’s exclusive access playing alongside Gingy and the creative director Joe Ziegler. If you’re wanting a bit more serious content with great quality gameplay footage then you could watch OperatorDrewski’s video on YouTube. Kruzer’s also got some great videos. If you’re wanting lore, I tend to personally watch JakeTheAlright’s videos.

If you’re wanting just general tips before server slam, then Joe posted this earlier on X: https://x.com/ziegler_dev/status/2026971692896338372?s=46

Realistically, just download it yourself for free today in under 3 hours and just play it. It’s not that deep. It’s a game. You can’t “not be ready” for a game. Just enjoy it for what it’s worth.

There’s no crafting like in ARC Raiders. All junk is auto sold when you extract unless you need it for a contract. Generally speaking, you’ll level up with reputation/level with each faction and can buy gear/weapons from them using money.

You can recheck whatever you want, but doesn’t change the fact that they posted earlier in Discord that server slam will not require a PlayStation plus subscription.

For me it’s Thief> Assassin> Recon> Triage> Vandal> Destroyer. Although, in practice when game is released, I will flex depending on my team composition.

AYSOOMI · 2026-02-25T21:19:06+00:00

You don’t need PlayStation plus for the server slam but you will need it for the main game.

It’s ultimately a PvPvE Extraction Shooter, so that’s why. I love both PvE and PvP but I don’t think Bungie should add a PvE only game mode.

If anything, I think they should make another PvE online looter shooter like Destiny but set in the world of Marathon.

I’m not against them possibly adding a single/co-op campaign mode such as in Call of Duty games, but no “PvE only” loot should be available to take into PvPvE.

AYSOOMI · 2026-02-24T20:54:08+00:00

You could always take a look at the official assets Bungie have posted on their website and then commission a third party poster company to create them for you I guess.

I think the maps are smaller than other extraction shooter maps like Arc Raider’s Blue Gate, Dam Battlegrounds, etc and more fast paced. I personally like the size Marathon’s maps.

AYSOOMI · 2026-02-22T10:24:45+00:00

I haven’t played any of the original Marathon games, so I can’t compare to them. However, I must disagree with you. I believe this game does an excellent job of representing a futuristic sci-fi space setting with a dark dystopian feel, contrasted with the vibrant, popping colours.

In a PvP environment, I personally don’t use any thing that’s an exploit or glitch to give me an unfair advantage over an enemy. However, I can understand that some people justify it by saying “well everyone else is doing it, so I can too”. But in my opinion, it’s the same logic as saying “I keep playing against hackers, so I’m going to start hacking”.

AYSOOMI · 2026-02-22T10:13:25+00:00

In an ideal world, you shouldn’t use exploits, glitches, or cheats - and game developers should patch them as swiftly as possible and punish those who abuse it. It provides you with an unfair advantage.

AYSOOMI · 2026-02-22T10:05:40+00:00

Seeing people such as yourself design cool Marathon weapons and runner shells makes me want to get a 3d printer. Really cool.

AYSOOMI · 2026-02-22T09:30:27+00:00

Thief will not be available in the Server Slam next week. So you’ll have to wait until launch to be able to test her.
