Runner Terminal's Faction Upgrades guide covers every upgrade tier across all six Marathon factions: Arachne, CyberAcme, NuCaloric, Sekiguchi, Traxus, and MIDA. Each faction page lists every upgrade by name, category, rank requirement, credit cost, and the exact salvage materials needed at each tier. Use it to plan your progression before a run so you know exactly what to farm.
Not sure which faction to prioritise? Each faction specialises in a different playstyle — Arachne focuses on heavy weapons and LMG mods, CyberAcme on tech and volt equipment, NuCaloric on survivability and healing, Sekiguchi on movement and stealth, Traxus on firepower and assault rifles, and MIDA on precision and sniper builds. Unlocking capstone upgrades requires maxing every tier in the faction tree and reaching the required rank.
To see which materials you need and where to farm them, use the Material Finder. To look up any specific item, visit the Item Codex.
