Marathon Season 2 players are hoarding loot as Bungie investigates

Season 2 of Marathon kicked off earlier this month and has been a season of ups and downs. Things started badly, with Bungie's traditional launch woes undermining its free-to-play week, but new features like the Night-time Dire Marsh map and Sponsored Survival quickly proved popular.

A few weeks in, progression has become noticeably easier. Where players once felt lucky to extract with anything of value in Season 1, Season 2 users have been hoovering up so much loot that vaults are overflowing and the game's economy is in disarray. Earlier this week Bungie published a Steam post outlining the problem.

"Out of the gate in Season 2, progression and access to power moved much faster than the previous season," the post said. "For reference, the average wealth in week two of Season 2 is similar to what we saw in weeks 11 and 12 of Season 1.
