Marathon Deluxe Edition Silk Glitch Lets Players Max Reward Pass in Minutes

TL;DR
Marathon (2025)’s Deluxe Edition grants extra Silk, and players have found a Silk overflow bug that lets them repeatedly restart to reclaim 200 Silk, quickly maxing the Season One reward pass in minutes. Bungie maintains a no-cheating policy (with possible rollbacks for abuse), and Silk is in-game currency used only for cosmetics, not real money purchases. The launch also saw other bugs, but this issue centers on the exploit’s impact on cosmetic rewards.
