About Marathon Implants
Marathon Implants
Implants are upgrades that any runner can equip. Unlike cores, implants are shared across all runners, so you only need to unlock them once. Each runner has 4 implant slots: Head, Torso, Legs, and Shield. Every implant comes with stat modifiers that buff or debuff your runner's stats, plus a unique trait that adds a special effect. Picking the right implant combo can make a big difference in how your runner performs.
Marathon Implant Slots
Every runner has four implant slots: Head, Torso, Legs, and Shield. Each slot accepts one implant at a time. Head implants often modify ping duration or revive speed, torso implants affect heat capacity and self-repair, leg implants focus on agility and fall resistance, and shield implants boost firewall or hardware stats. Use the slot tabs above to browse implants by slot.
Implant Rarity Tiers
Implants come in five rarity tiers: Standard, Enhanced, Deluxe, Superior, and Prestige. Higher-rarity implants have stronger stat bonuses, better unique traits, and higher credit costs. Many implants belong to a family with versions at multiple rarity levels — you can see the full upgrade path by clicking any implant in the grid above.
Best Implants for Marathon Builds
The strongest implant loadouts depend on your playstyle. Aggressive runners benefit from melee damage and finisher siphon implants like Hurting Hands and Knife Fight. Support players should look at revive speed and loot speed boosts from Helping Hands and Nimble Fingers. For survivability, Regen and Firewall implants help stay in the fight longer. Pair your implant choices with the right core to maximise your build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are implants in Marathon?
Implants are universal upgrades that work on any runner. Each one modifies your runner's stats and comes with a unique trait that adds a special gameplay effect. They're equipped in specific body slots: Head, Torso, Legs, and Shield.
How many implant slots does a runner have?
Every runner has 4 implant slots: Head, Torso, Legs, and Shield. You can equip one implant per slot, giving you up to 4 implants active at the same time.
What's the difference between implants and cores?
Cores are runner-specific upgrades that only work on one runner. Implants are universal and can be equipped on any runner. Both affect your build, but cores tend to modify abilities while implants focus on stat changes and unique passive traits.
How does MarathonDB get its implant data?
We find every implant in-game, test the stat changes, and enter the data by hand. We don't rely on a Bungie API, everything here was manually verified.
