Bungie has made duos matchmaking a permanent feature in Marathon Season 2 after a successful test. Now, players can team up without worrying about a third partner. They've also rolled out a limited-time 'free kit frenzy' mode until April 29, allowing players to enter matches with free gear and collect loot for later use.
The response has been largely positive, with players enjoying the reduced reliance on common weapons like snipers. This shift hints at a possible blend of hardcore extraction gameplay with more casual battle royale mechanics. Additionally, a mid-season patch has buffed the Recon class and introduced new weapons. Do you think these changes will keep players engaged long-term?
