Bungie Tweaks Marathon Monetization, Previews First Post-Launch Patch Next Week

Player backlash over premium-currency pricing prompted swift changes intended to ease early-game friction.

Overview

  • $10 LUX bundles will increase from 1,100 to 1,120 so a 1,120-cost skin can be purchased with a single buy.
  • Players who previously purchased the $10 bundle will receive 20 LUX credited per bundle.
  • The first client update, planned for next week, will make objective nav points appear at 20 meters instead of 10.
  • The patch will raise Med Cabinet and Munitions Crate spawns on Perimeter and increase starting ammo in MIDA, CyberAcme, and Arachne sponsored kits.
  • Bungie says Deluxe Edition delivery issues are fixed, Server Slam and Twitch rewards have been re-sent, Weasel errors remain under investigation, and coverage notes a steady decline from the Steam launch peak.
