Marathon's Season 2 launched earlier this month with mixed results. While features like the Dire Marsh Nighttime map and the Sponsored Survival mode struck a chord with the community, an economic issue has emerged: players are collecting loot in disproportionate quantities, filling their vaults and destabilizing the game's progression system.
According to PC Gamer, the situation starkly contrasts with Season 1, when extracting any item of value felt lucky. Now, the sheer amount of available resources has thrown the game's economy into disarray. The phenomenon directly impacts the progression curve Bungie designed.
Bungie acknowledged the issue and stated it is "still unravelling the source" of the imbalance, as cited by the outlet. The studio has not disclosed specific details about the cause or a timeline for a fix, but the situation is clearly a priority after Season 2's rocky launch, marked by the technical troubles typical of Bungie releases.
