'Equipment is Temporary, Don't Get Too Attached' — Marathon Game Director Shares Final Advice Before Server Slam Weekend

The game director for the extraction shooter Marathon has shared several key pointers for players diving into this weekend's server slam event.

Bungie's Joe Ziegler posted on social media with some last-minute guidance. As someone planning to try Marathon myself this weekend, I found these tips quite insightful. They should come in handy for others too!

The advice sounds pretty intense, but that's typical for an extraction shooter. I'll probably be relying heavily on that final tip over the weekend.

The Marathon server slam runs from today, February 26, through March 2. We have a quick guide to the exact launch times worldwide, plus details on the rewards, so you'll know when to start downloading and jump in. Marathon's full launch is set for March 5 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. At launch, PlayStation Plus subscribers can grab bonus weapon charms themed around Ghost of Yōtei, Death Stranding 2, and Helldivers 2. Steam players will automatically receive the exclusive Crowbar Weapon Charm when Marathon releases on March 5 (no Half-Life 3 confirmations here!). Meanwhile, Xbox Series X and S players get the exclusive Emerald Clutch Weapon Charm and Emerald Catch Weapon Charm.
