THIS WEEK: Marathon has been out almost a month and we're starting to get glimpses of what future updates will come to Bungie's Extraction Shooter. Tuning for the Biotoxic Disinjector has already arrived, but is it still overpowered? Will nerfing the Runner's Knife truly change close quarters combat? Will Recon & Vandal's buffs be enough to get players to pick those shells over established favorites? Epicdan22 & Danfinity yap about all this and Warlock's seeming stranglehold on Destiny 2's 2026 Guardian Games!
