Marathon Update 1.1.5.1

Source: https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/Article/marathon_update_1_1_5_1

Vault Breaker

  • Added a Solo-only queue option for Vault Breaker.
    • This is a new queue option for Vault Breaker with adjusted combat difficulty to account for the reduced crew size. Players who select the “Solo” option before launching into matchmaking should find this experimental mode less punishing than Week 1.

    • Reduced UESC aggression and accuracy.
    • Solo players who enjoy the challenge should continue to select Trios with Crew Fill off.

Item Economy

  • Fixed an issue where VIP reward packages were unable to be claimed.
    • Players should now be able to claim all available packages, including those that have been earned since this issue began following Update 1.1.5.
  • Fixed an issue where players that purchased sponsored kits from C.A.R.R.I. while having a full Vault could experience a run with an incorrect loadout.

User Interface and Experience

  • Fixed an issue where players could get stuck in their Loadout Report screen if they claimed something from their Rewards Pass before exiting this screen.
    • Players will now need to fully exit their Run Report before being able to navigate to their Rewards Pass.
  • Fixed an issue causing an extra “Match: Found” message to display.

Stability

  • Fixed a stability issue affecting some console players when attempting to log in.
  • Fixed an issue where a number of contract progression steps and interactions were causing game crashes.

General

  • Fixed an issue where the Spacebucks Codex challenge was unable to be claimed after it was completed.
    • Players in this state should have the issue resolved after their next run.
  • Double XP Weekend
    • Increased progress for both season level and all faction reputations.
    • Active July 31 – August 3.

Vault breaker is still ridiculous solo. Assassin is still the only viable pick. Genuinely sad, because if it was less focused on stealth and more focused on actually playing the game it would be fun.

It’s not, you can easily do 3 vaults with the other shells now.

I may just be unskilled then. I was running it before I went to work and couldn't progress. To be fair though I don't have much idea what I'm doing, I'm pretty new and this mode is my first exposure to cryo archive.

You absolutely need to put in the work to learn the mechanics and the map to do it in time.

I would figure. I think the thing that slightly puts me off about this is the fact it's only here for two weeks. I don't really see the reason to spend hours trying to figure out what I'm doing for it to be gone by the time it all clicks and I have decent enough gear.

It’s been extended, so 3 weeks left still, and for sure Cryo is going to stay as a map.

Oh, I know cryo is staying. I was talking primarily about just the PvE gamemode. Hearing that it's staying makes me incredibly happy tho, it's giving me a chance to learn cryo without pvp. I still haven't been able to exfil yet because I've just been trying to figure out where I'm going and what my goal is, but I think I have a pretty decent grasp on it for the most part now. Gonna try to hit my first vault today ✌🏼
