How to increase Inventory Space in Marathon

Marathon actively centers around loot that you get from your runs, and it’s an important task to manage your inventory to keep more items with you.

When you begin, the inventory size won’t be much of an issue. You can keep going on your run and bring you new loot as much as you can. However, the limited inventory starts to become an issue once you’re past the initial stage. A few runs with Sponsored kits quickly add to the list of items you have (as long as you manage to complete the run without getting killed).

Thankfully, there’s a fix for the limited inventory (vault space).

How to increase your Vault size in Marathon

Your vault is your main inventory where you store all your stuff. By default, you can keep 160 items on it. To bypass this limit, you’ll need the Expansion upgrade offered by the CyberAcme faction. Getting this upgrade isn’t too difficult as long as you have sufficient credits.

You can expand your vault space five times in total (could change in the future). To complete the upgrades, you’ll need more Credits and resources.

Upgrade level	Effect	Cost
1	+8 rows	2500 Credits 12 Unstable Diode
2	+8 rows	4000 Credits 22 Unstable Diode 12 Unstable Gunmetal
3	+6 rows	5000 Credits 27 Unstable Diode 15 Unstable Gunmetal
4	+4 rows	7000 Credits 30 Unstable Diode 18 Unstable Gunmetal
5	+4 rows	10000 Credits 50 Unstable Diode 30 Unstable Gunmetal

While getting all the upgrades is expensive, I would recommend getting the first two done as quickly as possible if you’re running out of Vault space. You can get the latter once you’ve earned more resources and have that many items in your loadout to begin with.

How to increase backpack size in Marathon

Your backpack size determines how many items you can carry on your run. The default backpack is pretty small, but you can expand it using upgraded versions. The enhanced backpacks can be purchased from the armory. You can also do them by completing certain contracts, reaching character rank milestones, and more.

Sponsored loadouts don’t have an enhanced backpack. However, you can find and equip them on your run to trigger the benefits.

The Equitable Distribution 3/4 contract in Marathon is a slightly trick quest to complete, and the second task involves delivering Unstable Gunmetal resources to DCON.

This task combines some of the basics that you’ll need to master in Marathon. Unstable Gunmetal is a random resource that you can find on your run. However, the DCON is located at specific locations. Let’s look at how you can complete this task and complete the Equitable Distribution 3/4 contract.

How to find Unstable Gunmetal in Marathon

As I said earlier, the Unstable Gunmetal is a relatively common item, but it doesn’t have a fixed location. You can typically find it within containers and boxes while searching different locations on your run. You’ll need seven of them (keep note if you’re getting more than one at a specific spot).

Once you find them, add the items to your backpack and keep repeating the method until you have seven. You can then proceed towards finding the DCON on the Perimeter map to deliver the Unstable Gunmetal.

How to deliver Unstable Gunmetal in Marathon

The first task is to locate the DCON. Typically, I prefer going east from the Station POI, where the DCON is located on the roof of a building. I have marked the spot in the image below to help you find the spot.

Once you arrive, take a ladder to reach the DCON, which appears like a box. Open the box, and add seven Unstable Gunmetal to its inventory. Then interact with the DCON once again to complete the task and finish the contract.

Doing so gets you extra Rep to rank up the Traxus faction, and you can unlock more rewards and upgrades for your builds.
