, a bunch of new info fr🍰om the current closed (an𝓡d NDA’d) alpha test on Twitter, , including now-removed images at Bungie’s request. While the user mentioned they are not under the NDA, and they did remove the images as a courtesy, they did provide a lot of information on ongoing improvements to the game.
- The V99 Channel Rifle, a new sniper, was added.
- At the black market, you can now trade in materials to get lower rarity items. The models for materials have also been updated.
- When players are downed, there is now a blue blood visual effect to match the snazzy trailers.
- The medic class was added with the ability to provide players with healing over time effects or give them med kits.
- Revive timers are reportedly much longer.

Marathon currently ꧅has no release date, but the team insists that it’sಌ still slated for a 2025 launch. We'll see about that one.
