Marathon Season 2 kicks off amid bug-ridden launch and server downtime
TL;DR
Marathon Season 2 launched with sweeping changes and a full progression reset but was marred by widespread bugs, including mid-match disconnects caused by Weasel, Monkey, and Anteater error codes. Bungie offered free deluxe kits and performed emergency maintenance, with servers back online after a delay; a codex/unlock bug also limited VIP rewards for some players. The update adds the spooky Night Marsh map and cosmetics, but its effect on Season 2’s momentum remains uncertain ahead of Sony’s State of Play trailer and the ongoing free-to-play trial.
