RUNNERS don't care. But what RUNNERS do care about is a payday. The UESC knows this and uses a variety of tactics to counter RUNNER efforts to secure whatever prize they may be hunting. One such method is a high value container offering RUNNERS a healthy return on their investment, should they survive. Few do. SECURED RESOURCES essentially serve as a challenge from the UESC to RUNNERS—"Come get the prize or die trying." • FIND the RESOURCES • CLEAR OUT its defenders • HACK the LOCKBOX • FIGHT for your life • SURVIVE. PROFIT • FAIL. SUFFER. TRY AGAIN when you're ready REMARK: It's a simple and deadly game. =================================================================== [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.
