AMPED PRIME
rnnrqterm.cdx.access - -:- -.- -.- -:- -.- - =================================================================== RUNNERS' GUIDE v.1.001.02.tciv RUNNER TACTICS: AMPED PRIME =================================================================== PRIMED AND READY: A RUNNER SHELL's PRIME ABILITY is their signature survival tool. It's how they control a moment. It's how they make a statement when push comes to shove. But PRIME ABILITIES come at a cost. The energy required to power their function and deliver their full effect requires time to build. That's where ENERGY AMP comes in. Its instant energy boost helps a RUNNER keep their ABILITIES primed for deployment. ENERGY AMP is useful anytime, but RUNNERS who carry them as a force of habit tend to find ways to use them at the most opportune times, creating imbalances in combat as they trigger another round of their PRIME well before their energy should have cycled back to full. REMARK: Do not leave an AMP behind. Use it if you can't carry it. Even if it's a waste. Because your enemies will. =================================================================== [RNNRqterm] || CyberAcme Systems, Inc. ///REDACTED///
About Codex in Marathon
The Codex is one of the most important progression systems in Marathon because it keeps track of the things that stay with your account over time. It covers achievements, collections, lore entries, cosmetics, titles, and other rewards tied to what you do in the game, and you can check it outside of your runs.
What makes the Codex stand out is that it is not just a lore menu. Marathon connects it to contracts, narrative items, and other in-game milestones, so the more you explore and complete, the more entries and rewards you unlock. It also carries over between seasons, even when things like gear, faction progression, contract progression, and player level reset.
