Weapon Rarity Explained

Marathon doesn’t just have a bunch of guns — each weapon also comes with a rarity tier that impacts both performance and economic value when extracted:

Higher-rarity weapons often come with improved stats, better attachments, and sometimes unique gameplay modifiers. Extracting with a Prestige gun can yield massive credits — making them highly sought after across every run.

Best Gun Picks So Far

Across community tier lists and early testing, several weapons stand out for dominance in firefights:

WSTR Combat Shotgun – Exceptional in close range with high burst damage.
BRRT SMG – Fast, mobile, and versatile for aggressive runs.
Hardline PR & Twin Tap HBR – Precision rifles that excel at mid-range.
Ares RG Railgun – Devastating charged shots for long-range picks.

These guns dominate both solo and team engagements, rewarding confident players with higher kill ceilings and stronger extraction runs.

Weapon Ammo Types & Mechanics

Weapons in Marathon use different ammo types, each affecting how you manage loadouts:

• Light Rounds – Common and fast-firing

• Heavy Rounds – Hard hitting but rare

• Volt Batteries/Cells – Energy weapons with recharge mechanics

• MIPS Rounds – Highest-damage shells for shotguns/snipers

Knowing ammo economy is critical — because in extraction games, running out at the wrong moment can cost both loot and life.

Tips for Choosing Your Loadout

1. Balance Range & Ammo: Don’t bring only heavy guns — ammo scarcity matters.

2. Mix Weapon Classes: Pair a shotgun with a precision rifle for versatility.

3. Prioritize Rarity: Superior & Prestige weapons can invert engagements.

4. Use Mods Wisely: Attachments can shift a decent gun into a dominant tool.
