rnnrqterm.cdx.access - -:- -.- -.- -:- -.- - =================================================================== RUNNERS' GUIDE v.1.001.01.tciv DESTROYER PRIME ABILITY: SEARCH AND DESTROY =================================================================== OVERVIEW: If the DESTROYER SHELL is a weapon of war, then SEARCH AND DESTROY is its shoulder-mounted, impact tracing targeted artillery. OPERATION: • Trigger SEARCH AND DESTROY • Neural/HUD/Live Round mapping active • Hunt Targets • Find Targets • Aim/Fire/Impact Targets with your chosen firearm • ENJOY • Every third round impacted on Target unleashes a micro-rocket salvo tracking directly to impact site HISTORY: As a dedicated conflict resolution system, the DESTROYER SHELL was engineered from first principles to be an offensive weapon specifically used for surgical strikes against enemy personnel and machinery, in conjunction with larger-scale UESC combat deployments. A combination of SEARCH AND DESTROY's "too efficient" lethality and reports of mental destabilization in soldiers with prolonged use of its neural/HUD/live round cross-mapping caused the UESC to discontinue use of the DESTROYER SHELL all up. Most RUNNERS assume the off-lining of the DESTROYER was a public relations mandate as cover for various "more terrible" UESC operations. =================================================================== [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.
