Marathon Update 1.1.5.4 brings the limited-time Ordnance Heist PvPvE event live, bumps loot quality on Ranked maps, and applies a targeted V85 Circuit Breaker nerf. Here's everything that changed — based on the official notes from Bungie.
Ordnance Heist
The Ordnance Heist PvPvE experience is now live. It's a multi-run chase across different zones: take down UESC, pick up Locker keys, and hunt for the Firestorm. Extract with UESC Manifests to spend them in the updated MIDA and Traxus Armories.
- End date: September 1.
- Bungie published a full event preview covering the hunt, locker keys, Firestorm, and Armory rewards — read it on Bungie.net.
Firestorm is Marathon's first power weapon. It's a customized Hardline HPR with a sniper scope, incendiary explosive rounds, and a six-shot magazine that cannot be reloaded. Claim it from a Firestorm Locker after collecting three keys, use it during the run, then extract to convert it into credits. After the event ends, Firestorm is set to persist as a possible Supply Drop.
Item Economy
- Updated Ranked maps to increase the volume and quality of available loot.
- Developer's Note: More gear will be available, and players should encounter more blue and purple gear.
- Fixed an issue where players would occasionally still have their Sponsored Kit contents unpacked in the lobby after a disconnect. Warped items have now been re-enabled.
- Fixed an issue where the available stock of Sekiguchi implants was less than the other factions.
- Fixed an issue where players could lose inventory items after completing a Rook or Sponsored Kit run with a full Vault.
