How do you extract successfully in Marathon?
Plan your exfil from match start — know your escape points before committing to fights. Prioritize Tag Chips and high-value loot early. Avoid late-match combat unless you have clear positioning. Always leave with enough health and ammo to contest the extraction zone. Don't be greedy.
When should you extract in Marathon?
Extract when you've hit your loot target or when match timer drops below 90 seconds. Waiting longer risks losing everything to a contest at the exfil. A safe B-grade run beats a failed S-grade attempt every time.
What is the best shell for extraction in Marathon?
Thief is built for extraction — Pickpocket Drone loots passively and Grapple Device escapes contested zones. Vandal's jump jets make it a strong second pick for repositioning to alternate exits when your primary is compromised.
