Marathon 1.0.9 Update Adds New Warden Hunt And Dozens Of Fixes
Bungie released Update 1.0.9 for Marathon, its competitive first-person shooter, as Season 1 approaches conclusion. The update’s main feature is Warden Hunt, a new encounter type that will remain available through the end of Season 1 before Season 2 launches in June.
Wardens spawn at additional points of interest across three maps: Perimeter, Dire Marsh, and Outpost. Each defeated Warden guarantees a drop of locked room keys, providing players with reliable progression rewards.
Beyond new content, Update 1.0.9 addresses multiple quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes. Notable corrections include fixing contract objectives that displayed incorrect information, resolving duplicate audio issues, and correcting inaccurate tool tips. The update reflects Bungie’s ongoing effort to refine Marathon’s live-service experience during its early seasons as the game transitions between seasonal content cycles.
