Season 3 PvE Preview LeaksMaps & BossesMap-wide cooperative PvE, with events scattered throughout the maps.The new Perimeter has a large underground expansion, roughly comparable in scale to the above-ground area.There are supposedly 4 bosses:Compiler: Can be encountered naturally while exploring Perimeter."Modified Locus": A community nickname. It looks like a gigantic Locus shell. Its signature mechanic is reportedly similar to Atraks from Destiny 2: four shields, missile attacks, and relatively fast movement. It counts as an anomaly and is very easy to trigger—in previous testing, simply stepping into the area could cause it to appear.Tick Queen: The fixed boss of the fourth run in the new Perimeter.Mystery Boss: Has its own dedicated page, but almost nobody has encountered it yet. Trigger conditions are unknown.Every map except Cryo Archive has PvE content.PvE & RunsThere are 4 runs total.For the first three runs, you can freely choose the map and extract after completing the objective.The fourth run always takes place in the new Perimeter and ends with the Tick Queen.During the first three runs, some materials go directly into your stash. The rest can either be sold for money or converted into Cradle XP.Gear obtained during the fourth run can be extracted.All four runs receive a score, and your combined score determines the final reward tier.Progress can synchronize between teammates. For example, if your teammate is on Run 3 and you are on Run 2, completing Run 3 with them will automatically advance your sequence to Run 3.

lol who cares
I'll play it when it goes f2p
Marathon isn't lasting the end of the year, man.
>>746139830Just end it this is sad
Somehow i do think they need to shift marathon to a more pve shooter gameplay loop. But i honestly dont know how, because a lot is really well designed right now and dont work with a pve way. I think they have to stick to the extraction model till they release a complete overhaul. Mix of destiny and helldiver?
>Tries to compete with Tarkov>fails>Transition to PvE onlykek
>>746141156Why? It's a fun game
>>746139830This will surely keep the daily peak players above 2000!
>>746144456Bungie deserves death.
>>746146993Refer to >>746144456
>>746144456Marathon is gonna go down the same path as destiny where it only gets worse. Bungie is a parasite in the gaming industry and should be removed from it pronto
