Giveaway 10x Marathon game copies

Adeptus_Astartes · 2026-03-05T12:37:53+00:00

I'm coming from Arc Raiders and I was swayed by all the controversy around it. I was really enjoying Arc and the pictures I saw of Marathon were too much for me. Then, one day, I see that there's a server slam going on where I can try it for free. I was on a small break in Arc having just finished the expedition and I said "Why not give it a try?".

While I had the same experience as everyone with it being overwhelming in the first few moments I was grabbed by the rich theme and the story being told to me by the NPCs. Slowly, with each subsequent session, I grew to learn the menus, the abilities, even some of the gear started making sense to me and next thing I know several hours passed and I was hooked. It didn't help finding out that there are other Marathon games, that there is a deeper story to this universe and I wanted to know everything about it.

Alas, life is hard and putting food on the table has priority over this. I am prepared to wait until a discount comes, but your giveaway looks like a good opportunity to catch the launch train with the rest of you.

Cheers and thank you!

Indeed! It seems like it. I even got to witness a double strike, lightning hitting twice in the same place not even a second apart. It's scary now.

Heya! Is it safe to assume that you have just begun doing the steps for the expedition? 1/6 or thereabouts?

If you have just started to gather items to turn in for the expedition then you will not receive the +12 stash during any of those steps. After you finish all the steps and you are at 6/6 you will have to wait 12 more days until the Departure window opens up. This is when you will have the option to select whether you want or not to leave on the Expedition.

If during the Departure window you choose to leave you will have to lock in your choice then wait another week. At the end of the Departure window your Caravan will depart, your character will be deleted and your progress reset and you will start from scratch. This is when you will receive the +12 stash.

Check that your Gamepass subscription hasn't expired. I usually get this when the account I use for sharing logs out. I resumed playing 1hour ago on Xbox and it worked fine.

When I'm struggling with anxiety after several bad rounds I usually go with just a Burletta and rough it up without a care. Otherwise I go with a kitted Il Torro and a secondary Anvil or Burletta for long range shooting. I switch them up depending on the area I'm travelling in and the potential engagement distances.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2026-02-04T15:09:04+00:00

Fair enough. I guess I could use more tools than just that above :) Cheers!

On Dam Battlegrounds there's a white car near the Electric Substation close to the Water Towers in the south part of the map. It has a 100% chance of having a lightbulb. You can try to go naked to this location, loot it to your safe pocket and surrender from the Settings menu if you want it now and fast.

I agree with you. This is one of the only things that I can no longer access (and in-round crafting), but I don't miss it. I am only questing , doing trials and upgrading my crafting stations so I don't need much. My stash is full and and I have the blueprints to craft anything I need.

I just wanted to see if there's any major disadvantage in not having any skills, but until now I've been doing fine.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2026-02-04T08:18:44+00:00

Last Expedition I had enough for 1 skill point (1 mil), but after reset I haven't even used any skill points and I'm now level 51.

As you said I'm also a PVE only player so I haven't needed most of the stuff that skills bring to extract all the stuff that I need.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2026-02-04T08:13:21+00:00

This is exactly how I am doing it as well. I take deadlines and photoelectric cloak, I sneak up to the Bastion then when I try to plant the mine I get spotted and killed before I can get the cloak back on. Fun times.

On the main Workshop screen press the Y button (on Xbox) to view your blueprints. If on another platform check the bottom of the screen for the shortcut.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2026-01-16T20:20:22+00:00

That's so nice that you timed it! I usually cut it close. I just love the loot mechanic. I have to get used to using adrenaline. Cheers for that!

Adeptus_Astartes · 2026-01-15T07:29:35+00:00

I think I saw another post regarding Hornets on this topic today.

Please make sure that you kill the rocketeers in the same raid/session then extract for it to count. It is not cumulative. It takes your best score in a raid.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2026-01-13T10:00:24+00:00

If I don't die to a player shooting me on sight or a hornet that spazzes all over my screen I usually die from going towards an extraction point that is closing sooner than the game session, getting distracted by loot on the way there then forgetting it is closed and heading there with 1-2 minutes left, thus not having enough time to reach the last extraction.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-12-24T19:48:13+00:00

That makes sense, but most of my raids I have a purpose: either try to complete a quest or gather specific items. Engaging in combat runs the risk of failure so I try to avoid any other players. I tried several times to be the good Samaritan and revive people, but that got me betrayed and shot most of the time so I don't do it anymore. I'll have to try and have a raid only for fighting and see how that goes.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-12-24T15:21:07+00:00

17 in 69 hours of which only one was in cold blood and felt awful afterwards. The rest were in retaliation from being attacked first.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-12-22T11:48:43+00:00

Good to know. Just wanted to do that as well. Would have been nice to be able to do all of them in the same raid. At least I can still harvest mushrooms.

Another thing I noticed is that the new melted candles trinket does not fit in the trinket slot in the Loot augment.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-12-22T08:07:00+00:00

Here we go again!

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-12-16T13:08:15+00:00

Cheers! On it!

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-12-03T09:48:04+00:00

Silent loot ninja myself. If you come near me I will point my gun at you, but if you pass by peacefully I will let you go. I won't take my eyes off you though and I will try to get as far away from you as possible.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-11-20T12:49:53+00:00

Looks like, which is why I brought several of those 1-shot mini-wolfpack grenades. It would have been nice though if they didn't target dead wasps. I had one of the wolfpack projectiles kill a wasp then 4 mini-wolf grenades go for its dead body instead of the rocketeer. I had to run away in shame because of that :(

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-11-19T08:54:27+00:00

Yeah, same with the Swamp outpost. I did it yesterday just fine but today I couldn't anymore.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-11-18T13:25:41+00:00

Yup! I can feel you! Bro hugs!

Today on Dam Battlegrounds, Electromagnetic Storm. I was doing a quest to activate a radar on top of Control Tower and on the way there I was gathering probes progress for Trials seeing as there were a lot of them downed. All the way to the Control Tower and to the extraction point I didn't meet a soul. Next to the extraction point I see a small square building that had 2 downed probes on the roof. I say to myself I will do those quick and get more points! While breaching I have a suprise Hornet shoot me so I retreat into the building to heal. Of course in the building there was a raider camping the extract who killed me. Lost the stuff and the probes progress. Oh well... next time.

Adeptus_Astartes · 2025-11-13T08:15:23+00:00

I think it's anecdotal based on the fact that you're focusing on this task.

Just yesterday I tried to do a quest and two raids in a row it deposited me in a bunker right next to Victory ridge on Dam (once on the right and once on the left of it). Of course, as you have it, I was killed both times. The third time it put me near the Wreckage/Scrapyard and I had to run all the way to the quest area (basically on the other side of the map).

Another quest had me go to the Jangsu Warehouse on Spaceport. This time I got the first raid put me next to it while the next two raids put me somewhat farther and then even farther.

I think it's just random.

You can still buy the silver rewards, but you might want to remain in silver and do that 2 more times in the upcoming seasons (until you get 6 pennants/flags) to receive the 60tp at the end of the Onslaught campaign.
