Marathon has made everyone's favourite loot spot harder to access but even more rewarding, and it's got solo players raising pitchforks

Marathon: A close-up shot of Destroyer being ambushed by Assassin, with their gun drawn, firing.

Marathon's Outpost map is an extraction masterclass, in large part due to how the central Pinwheel location lulled players in with the promise of loot. However, it wasn't without its issues: the Destroyed Wing entrance had to be disabled shortly after it launched, and it was overall too easy to break in once players had figured out the steps.

Bungie's given the map a thorough pass in the latest Marathon patch notes (1.0.5.2), and made some very interesting, totally not controversial changes. Content creator True Vanguard said the changes "genuinely suck for solo play" before returning five hours later after more successful runs to say "Holy frick, okay I lied".
