Runner Shells in Marathon — Biosynthetic Bodies, Archetypes, and Deep Customization
Runner Shells in Marathon — biosynthetic bodies, archetypes, and Bungie's deep customization
Several shell models have been confirmed so far, each dictating its own playstyle:
- Destroyer (Combat Specialist). A tank with personal barricades, missile systems, and rocket boosters for close combat.
- Assassin (Shadow Agent). A master of stealth. Uses active camouflage and smoke screens for unnoticed strikes.
- Vandal (Combat Anarchist). The most mobile class. Has a double jump and a hand cannon that not only deals damage but also helps you move around thanks to its recoil.
- Thief (Loot Specialist). A "loot lover" with a built-in grappling hook and a visor that allows you to see enemies and containers through walls. He also has a pickpocket drone that steals loot from other players.
- Recon (Reconnaissance Specialist). Uses echo pulses and tracker drones to detect threats and track enemies' movements.
- Triage (Field Medic). Team support. Able to revive allies, boost their firepower, and deploy defensive shields.
- Rook (Scavenger). A unique shell for newbies or solo players. Allows you to join ongoing matches with a basic set of equipment without risking your main inventory.
