You're missing out on getting Marathon's best loot for free because it's hidden in a menu

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

Your whole goal in Marathon is to get the best guns in your hands, kill a few Runners, and eventually lose it all—especially if you're playing Cryo Archive, AKA the 'lose it all factory'. Collecting good loot typically means risking what you've already got against other players and high-tier UESC.

But what if I told you that you've been sitting on a pile of some of the best gear this whole time? And no, I'm not talking about faction upgrades like Safeguard, Restore, or Shielded that give you a handful of specific items from the faction's stores each day. No, no, no, there are actually two free sections in the store, because of course there is. Marathon's complicated UI strikes again.
