Marathon Update Slashes Grenade Stacks to Curb Grenade Spam

Marathon's latest patch reduces grenade stack sizes—EMP, flechette, chem, frag, and heat grenades can now be carried as a maximum of one per stack, significantly cutting grenade spam. Claymores drop to two per stack, while proximity sensors, smoke grenades, and ammo crates stay at three per stack. The update also includes armoury improvements, a UI elimination bug fix, and secure vents in Cryo Archive to prevent spawn rushing. While grenades remain useful in certain situations, the change should curb the spam-heavy meta without nerfing overall gameplay.
