Marathon Build Advisor — Loadout & Cradle Generator

Build a complete Marathon loadout for any Runner shell in seconds. Pick your shell, playstyle, priority, and rank goal, and the advisor engineers a full build — primary and secondary weapons, weapon mods, shell cores, implants, and a Cradle stat-track plan — cross-referenced against real in-game stat values. Covers all eight shells, including the Season 2 defensive shell, Sentinel.

In Season 2, shell stats come from the Cradle, a free-respec Energy system, while factions gate gear through their Armories. Browse every Runner shell and weapon for the data behind every recommendation.
