rnnrqterm.cdx.access - -:- -.- -.- -:- -.- - =================================================================== RUNNERS' GUIDE v.1.001.07.tciv SCAVENGING: UESC CONVOY DRONE =================================================================== OPPORTUNITY: UESC CONVOY DRONE THREAT: UESC ASSAULT Troops, Rival RUNNERS RISK: Distraction can lead to unexpected trouble REWARD: Highly value loot OVERVIEW: The UESC CONVOY DRONE ferries high-value items scavenged from TAU CETI and RUNNERS. The DRONE itself has a defensive shielding that only opens on its underside at checkpoints on its journey across a ZONE. It is also guarded by ASSAULT Troops for added protection against RUNNER theft. Best option is to take out the guards before the DRONE reaches a checkpoint, then engage the DRONE itself. Successfully destroying the DRONE will drop its payload for any RUNNER to loot [so watch your back] • OBSERVE CONVY DRONE • TRACK it across the ZONE • ELIMINATE guards • ATTACK DRONE'S underside when vulnerable • DESTROY DRONE • LOOT payload REMARK: Also works as bait. Stalk and pounce, if you're feeling opportunistic. =================================================================== [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.
