Bungie Kills Marathon Slide‑Cancel Exploit and Upgrades Outpost Loot in Patch 1.0.5.2

The studio is enforcing a pace‑of‑play philosophy that puts a clear cost on rapid movement.

Overview

  • Bungie released patch 1.0.5.2 Tuesday, removing a Thief slide‑cancel that let players keep momentum by swapping to the Grapple Device.
  • Bungie said fast repositioning must carry a visible cost and warned it will treat future movement exploits the same way.
  • Outpost’s Pinwheel was reworked with the Destroyed Wing entrance reopened, better small‑container loot, tougher UESC encounters, and added bulletproof glass in the Hub.
  • The update also tightened Outpost’s Tox Warden combat zone, fixed the repeating final exfil point, corrected Cryo Archive Vault 6 geometry that caused deaths, and improved UI and Armory performance.
  • Looking ahead, Bungie will move its Duos experiment to Outpost on Wednesday and plans a broader mid‑season balance update in April.
