Marathon Update 1.1.5.1 Adds Solo Queue and Fixes VIP Rewards

Bungie's latest Marathon update introduces a solo-only queue for Vault Breaker with adjusted combat difficulty, resolves unclaimed VIP rewards, and tackles crash issues.

Bungie has deployed Marathon Update 1.1.5.1, introducing a dedicated solo matchmaking queue for Vault Breaker alongside essential bug fixes for inventory systems, stability, and UI flow.

Solo Vault Breaker Queue

Vault Breaker now features a dedicated Solo queue option with adjusted combat difficulty to account for smaller crew sizes. UESC combatants take increased critical damage, while their overall aggression and accuracy have been reduced. Solo players who prefer the standard challenge can still select Trios with Crew Fill turned off.

Economy and Progression Fixes

An issue preventing VIP reward packages from being claimed has been resolved, allowing players to collect all earned packages retroactively. Purchasing sponsored kits from C.A.R.R.I. with a full Vault no longer results in runs starting with incorrect loadouts. Additionally, completed Spacebucks Codex challenges now correctly update and claim after your next run.

Interface and Stability

Players can no longer get stuck in the Loadout Report screen after claiming items from the Rewards Pass; the Run Report must now be fully exited first. Console stability issues during login and game crashes tied to specific contract progression steps have also been addressed.

Double XP Event

A Double XP weekend runs from July 31 to August 3, offering increased progression rates for season levels and all faction reputations.

Why this patch matters

Update 1.1.5.1 makes solo play much more viable in Vault Breaker while clearing out persistent reward bugs and console stability bottlenecks.
