The “Developer Insights | Runner Shells” video from Bungie’s PvPvE survival extraction first-person shooter Marathon was released today. As a bio-cybernetic Runner, players in Marathon scavenge the lost colony of Tau Ceti IV while battling hostile security forces, rival Runners, and adverse conditions in an attempt to find their wealth. The Developer Insight examines how you, as the Runner, shift your awareness into Marathon’s survival-specific shells, such as:
- Some of the many ways to play each Runner shell
- Customizing your playstyle with cores, implants, weapons, mods, and more
- Breakdowns of each Runner shell, abilities, and archetype:
- Destroyer, combat specialist
- Assassin, shadow agent
- Recon, intel specialist
- Vandal, combat anarchist
- Thief, covert acquisitions
- Triage, field medic
- Rook, scavenger
- And more!
