Marathon

Marathon: a practical extraction shooter guide

Marathon is a extraction shooter built around raid loops and extract races. This briefing stays on audio discipline so you can make clearer in-match decisions. It is written for this title only.

How Marathon actually plays

Do not overstay a successful loot streak.

In Marathon, audio discipline usually matters before raw aim. Pick a job for the next two minutes: gather, watch, or leave.

Habits that survive a bad spawn

One watches flanks, one loots, one calls timers.

After the game updates

Treat each build as new until you survive a full raid.

If you only keep one Marathon rule from this page: confirm the live build, then play one intentional session before you stack high-risk kits.
