We could play that Marathon Alpha early as part of a media and creator preview event in the Bungie HQ, although some aspects may be different from the public alpha.
During our season we were able to check out two different cards: perimeter And swamp. Perimeter is a smaller, early game card, on which Dire swamp adjusts six three three squads of three against each other in a large campus.
In our tests there were a variety of different weapons and objects, including golden legendary objects with strong unique effects – although they were quite rare. It is unclear whether bungie holds some weapon types back for the entire game, but the studio has confirmed in a questions and answers that there are unique arms mods with which we could not play.
We had access to four runners – what Marathon Call his heroes – in the alpha:
- Location: A tanky character with a mighty shield, a rocket salvo and a booster on the legs.
- Pann: A speed figure that can quickly cross the area with your arm cannon and the double jump.
- Blackbird: An information character that can scan the surroundings to find potential threats.
- Empty: A stealth character that can become invisible according to will to escape or surprise his enemies.
We were also able to test some contracts that are essentially quests that help to improve their relationships with various political groups. Due to the progress of your faction progress, you can update your account with more vaults, access to more advanced articles in the store and much more.
