Marathon
Marathon Handbook: Survival, Combat, and Team Play
Marathon has a steep learning curve, but the loop becomes clear once you know what to prioritize. This guide covers session prep, combat habits, and mid-game goals so you waste less time on bad fights and bad routes.
Getting started the right way
Combat in Marathon is usually decided by positioning first and raw aim second. Use cover, break line of sight, and force fights at the range your kit prefers.
When a fight turns bad in Marathon, disengage early. A saved kit or life is worth more than one heroic peek that feeds the other team.
Gunplay and ability timing
Progress in Marathon comes from repeatable routes: daily tasks, core missions, or farming spots you can hit without gambling your whole inventory.
