The Anti-Virus pack is an important item to find in Marathon if you plan on taking part in the Lockdown event.

While participating in the event is optional, having the Anti-Virus is a non-negotiable due to how Lockdown works. The event takes place on the Dire Marsh map, so expect to find several dangers from runners and UESC alike. Let’s first look at how you can find the Anti-Virus Packs.

How to find Anti-Virus Packs in Marathon

There are two different ways to get an Anti-Virus Pack in Marathon.

Faction Upgrades

Once you’ve unlocked the MIDA faction, you can start working towards unlocking the required upgrade. To do so, you’ll need to take your MIDA faction rank to 5 or above. You’ll also need 23 Unstable Lead and 1500 Credits to get the upgrade. You can find the upgrade in the Armory section from the MIDA faction page.

Lootboxes

If you’re a beginner, it will take some time for you to unlock MIDA and get the required resources. Until you reach that point, you can rely on Lockboxes. However, you’ll first need to open the box. You’ll also have to rely on your luck since Lockboxes don’t necessarily guarantee an Anti-Virus Pack.

You can also find them from lootable containers and boxes, but they appear to be extremely rare. Hence, you’ll best have to hope for some great luck.

How to use Anti-Virus Packs in Marathon

The Anti-Virus Pack is exclusively required for the Lockdown event, as I mentioned earlier. When the event begins on Dire Marsh, consume the item. You’ll then need to look for a Lockdown Drive that has to be inserted into a blue terminal. Having the Anti-Virus consumable allows you to preserve your health and shield in the corrupted field.

While you try to complete the task (of finding the drive), UESC enemies will spawn at your location. Eliminate all to get some loot for yourself, and you can repeat this for up to two more times to try and find something nice.
