Marathon Update 1.1.0.2 Brings C.A.R.R.I. Initiative and Economy Fixes

Marathon Update 1.1.0.2 revives the C.A.R.R.I. reinforcement initiative with new commendations and armory offers alongside economy adjustments and bug fixes.

Marathon Update 1.1.0.2 deploys a host of quality-of-life updates, fixes persistent lobby and matchmaking bugs, and re-introduces the CyberAcme Runner Reinforcement Initiative. The patch also tackles weapon mod XP values and container loot pools across multiple zones.

The Return of C.A.R.R.I.

The CyberAcme Runner Reinforcement Initiative is back with new CyberAcme Commendations. Runners earn these materials by assisting crewmates with contract objectives, completing solo contracts, or successfully exfilling. Commendations can be spent at the C.A.R.R.I. Armory for special offers, weekly weapon showcases, reputation packs, and unique gear.

Item Economy and XP Reductions

Developers reduced the XP values for deluxe unique weapons (“Bluenique”) from 1,500 down to 700, and slashed Superior and Prestige weapon mod XP values significantly. Loot quality in Cert containers within Night Marsh saw slight reductions alongside increased item pools. Prestige drops from pinnacle containers in locked rooms were also toned down.

Combat and Weapon Fixes

Folding Stock stat bonuses, which were previously reversed based on their configuration, have been corrected. Audio bugs affecting the BR33 Volley Rifle's Lockout Muzzle Break and the V22 Volt Thrower's firing sounds for crewmates have been resolved. Combatant reinforcements in Night Marsh no longer roll excessive loot over the course of a run.

Matchmaking and UI Improvements

A series of fixes target lobby errors, ensuring ready-up screens clearly display which crewmate has an error with tooltip explanations. Matchmaking issues preventing duos from queuing properly or causing selected zones to reset after runs have been ironed out.

Why this patch matters

Update 1.1.0.2 addresses crucial community pain points by fixing grouping bugs and recalibrating high-tier weapon mod progression, while injecting fresh engagement loops through the C.A.R.R.I. system.
