Marathon
Marathon Extraction Shooter Prep Notes
Marathon sits in the extraction shooter lane where gear fear and objective greed fight each other. Prep notes before a drop matter as much as aim once the match starts.
Kit for the contract
Bring tools that match the contract type — mobility for long rotates, sustain for nested fights. A general “best gun” kit without utility underperforms when the objective sits in a death funnel.
Decide extract rules with your squad before spawn. Marathon-style lobbies punish silent greed.
Information wins rotates
Play for audio and sightline ownership when moving between points. Sprinting every rotate turns you into content for campers.
Leave a watcher when looting high traffic rooms. Extraction shooters recycle the same ambush geometry.
Post-match notes
Log which contracts felt fair for your kit. That list becomes your comfort queue when you are cold.
Update routes after balance patches. Extraction metas shift faster than campaign shooters.
