Marathon's mid-season patch is a big one: 11 new weapon variants, Recon buffs, and a 'Mercy Kit' for reviving strangers

Marathon: The Thief shell aiming a sniper directly ahead, set against a wall of bright green tarpaulin in the background.

Marathon's mid-season patch is here, and it's ended up bigger than anticipated. Those Recon buffs Bungie's been talking up for ages have arrived, allowing Marathon's resident snitch to differentiate between bots and players when scanning the map. The tracker drone is also better at tracking now, so it should be more than just occasionally helpful.

What wasn't expected in today's patch are 11 new Deluxe weapon variants added to the loot pool on all maps. These are blue-rarity uniques, so not quite as fancy as the gold ones that pop up exclusively in Cryo Archive, but they do have special names and inherent bonuses you can't recreate with your own attachments.
