After breaking down last week’s massive midseason update for all the most impactful changes, in this week’s Marathon 1.0.6.1 update, Bungie gave us a fairly small set of changes but a few very nice QoL improvements.
Health Kits and Shield Charges
Depleted and Standard Health Kits / Shield Charges - essential to most of your runs - historically have only allowed you to stack 3 at a time in your inventory. This would cause issues when using a smaller backpack (or no backpack) and force you to decide on whether you wanted health consumables or other more valuable loot.
These have been updated to now stack up to 6, cutting their inventory slot usage in half!
Overflow Capacity
If you have a full vault, go on a run, and return with a good amount of loot (and maybe get a Faction Upgrade reward on top of it), your items go to an “overflow inventory” where it stays until you make enough vault room for that overflow loot.
Some players were running into an issue though where if they had too much overflow loot, it would be lost, so Bungie has increased the size of the overflow inventory to address that rare scenario.
Miscellaneous Changes
- There are now more Enhanced and Deluxe sponsored kits available in the armory each day
- Radial dial selection accuracy has been improved to prevent you from accidentally using the wrong piece of equipment
- An issue that kept you in ADS after toggling ADS, even if you take an action that should break ADS (like switching weapons) has been resolved
For the rest of the updates, take a look at Bungie’s full article.
See you on Tau Ceti!
