Marathon’s 1.0.6.1 update just hit live servers, and it’s focused mainly on bug fixes and quality of life.
The biggest change in the update is to Item Economy, where Depleted Patch Kits and Depleted Shield Charges will now stack up to six, which is double from the standard three it has been. This is a really nice change for players who like to use Sponsored Kits or play as Rook, allowing for more healing items to be held with lesser space taken.
There’s more in the update, so check out the full patch notes below.

Item Economy
- Increased the daily stock limits for Enhanced (green) and Deluxe (blue) Sponsored Kits in the Armory.
- Depleted Patch Kits & Depleted Shield Charges now stack to 6, up from 3.
- Standard rarity Sponsored Kits come with stacks of 6 instead of 3

Combat
Weapons
- Toggle Zoom (for keyboard and mouse players) no longer persists ADS (aim down sights) state through actions that suppress ADS like weapon swap or weapon reload, to fix an issue where players could get into a bad state unable to use medical consumables.
- V85 Circuit Breaker:
- Fixed an issue where firing immediately after a fully charged shot would show projectiles and impact VFX but wouldn’t register as a hit.
User Interface and Experience
- Improved accuracy of radial selections after opening the radial menu, making a selection, and closing the radial in quick succession, with the goal of reducing the number of instances a frag grenade is accidentally tossed at the player’s feet instead of a bubble shield.
- Fixed an issue preventing crewmates’ weapon styles from appearing on their loadout display in the prepare screen.
Armory
- Fixed an issue that was preventing barter weapons from displaying their barter cost on the weapon tile.
Zones
- Perimeter
- Fixed the exfil countdown timer in the Perimeter tutorial so it correctly displays a full 10‑second countdown instead of briefly flashing “0:00” and disappearing when entering the exfil circle.
- Cryo Archive
- Fixed an out-of-bounds exploit that would allow Runners to refund their gear if they stayed past the run countdown.
General
- Increased the size of the overflow inventory to address scenarios where items could be lost due to limited overflow space.
