Marathon Update 1.1.0.1 Tones Down Loot and Fixes Exploits
Marathon Update 1.1.0.1 reduces Prestige drop rates, patches a D54 Battle Pistol fire-rate exploit, and clears up persistent faction progression blockers.
Update 1.1.0.1 brings targeted corrections to Marathon's loot economy, weapon perks, and UI elements. The patch addresses combat bugs, rewards screen errors, and faction progression hurdles across multiple zones.
Economy Adjustments and Faction Fixes
Drop chances for Prestige Shields and Prestige Weapon Mods are lowered across all sources. Schemas now award correct Credit amounts upon exfil instead of miscalculated payouts. Sekiguchi Genetics Capstone 6 can finally be claimed after meeting upgrade requirements, and the Sentinel challenge "Information Economy" functions normally. Additionally, the Traxus Prestige mod "Triple Barrel" correctly costs one Synapse Cube rather than three Reflex Coils.
Combat and Mod Corrections
Spam clicking the D54 Battle Pistol Prestige mod perk "Daredevil Stock" no longer stretches a super burst across an entire magazine. The Aftershock chip perk stops expiring prematurely after taking explosive damage. Dragging a weapon mod between equipped gear no longer falsely flags valid attachments as incompatible.
Contracts and Armory Updates
The CyberAcme contract "CyAc Guidance: Complex Control" displays the proper Deluxe blue Hardline PR reward preview instead of an Enhanced green variant. The Enhanced Duck and Cover Schema provides an Armory offer after exfil as intended, and the Night Marsh Sponsored Kit appears correctly for players under Runner Level 3.
Interface, Zones, and Stability
Push-to-Talk operates normally on the prepare screen, and AMD FSR lobby artifacting is resolved at quality scaling or lower. The Night Marsh preview lists the missing "it's Dark" Zone Status Effect, and hidden landmarks in Dire Marsh (Night) appear on the mini-map. Faction upgrade screen navigation no longer triggers random crashes.
Why this patch matters
This patch cleans up frustrating progression blockers, closes a major weapon exploit, and dials back high-end loot drops.
