Marathon just buffed the best loot you can find outside Cryo Archive and nerfed the Thief movement exploit that sweaty players were abusing into the ground

Marathon Thief shell in dark lighting.

Marathon update 1.0.5.2 rolled out today, packed with loot buffs for the Outpost map but headlined by a bronze-knuckled smackdown from Bungie: your Thief shenanigans are over.

For weeks now, Thief players in Marathon have been using a movement exploit with the class's grappling hook to gain significant bursts of momentum while sliding around. Bungie's taken a nerf bat straight to their mechanical kneecaps, killing the slide cancel animation that was key to the exploit and sending a message that this kind of movement tech is not for Marathon.
