Marathon’s latest update makes a major quality of life change to in-match looting

Marathon’s 1.0.6.1 update just went live, and it’s focused mainly on bug fixes and quality of life.

The biggest change in the update is to Item Economy, where Depleted Patch Kits and Depleted Shield Charges will now stack up to six, which is double from the standard three it has been. This is a really nice change for players who like to use Sponsored Kits or play as Rook, allowing for more healing items to be held with less space taken.

There’s more in the update, so check out the full patch notes below.

Marathon April 21 patch notes – Update 1.0.6.1

Item Economy

• Increased the daily stock limits for Enhanced (green) and Deluxe (blue) Sponsored Kits in the Armory.
• Depleted Patch Kits & Depleted Shield Charges now stack to 6, up from 3.

  • Standard rarity Sponsored Kits come with stacks of 6 instead of 3
  • Recruits now drop Depleted Patch Kits and Depleted Shield Charges at a much higher rate.

Combat

Weapons

• Toggle Zoom (for keyboard and mouse players) no longer persists ADS (aim down sights) state through actions that suppress ADS, like weapon swap or weapon reload, to fix an issue where players could get into a bad state, unable to use medical consumables.
• V85 Circuit Breaker:

  • Fixed an issue where firing immediately after a fully charged shot would show projectiles and impact VFX, but wouldn’t register as a hit.

User Interface and Experience

• Improved accuracy of radial selections after opening the radial menu, making a selection, and closing the radial in quick succession, with the goal of reducing the number of instances a frag grenade is accidentally tossed at the player’s feet instead of a bubble shield.
• Fixed an issue preventing crewmates’ weapon styles from appearing on their loadout display in the prepare screen.

Armory

• Fixed an issue that was preventing barter weapons from displaying their barter cost on the weapon tile.

Zones

• Perimeter

  • Fixed the exfil countdown timer in the Perimeter tutorial so it correctly displays a full 10‑second countdown instead of briefly flashing “0:00” and disappearing when entering the exfil circle.

• Cryo Archive

  • Fixed an out-of-bounds exploit that would allow Runners to refund their gear if they stayed past the run countdown.

General

• Increased the size of the overflow inventory to address scenarios where items could be lost due to limited overflow space.

Tanned Leather is one of the more important resources in Windrose, and it has different purposes. Obtaining this leather isn’t too difficult, but you’ll need to clear a fair bit of in-game content and build an additional item.

Let’s find out how you can get a steady supply of Tanned Leather in the game.

How to get Tanned Leather in Windrose

Tanned Leather can be crafted in Windrose. For starters, you’ll need to collect raw hides. Raw hide can be obtained quite easily, but you’ll need to hunt. If you’re in the early game stage, either wolves or deer work. They’re not so dangerous, and you can kill them quite easily. You’ll also need your skinning knife in hand to get the hide.

Now that you have your hide, you’ll need to get a Tanning Rack. This item has to be unlocked via its recipe, and it allows you to dry raw hide. This process is necessary when you want to convert raw hide into Tanned Leather.

You can make Clay Bottles from the Alchemy Table. Once it’s done, you can now make Tannin with Hardwood Bark and a Clay Bottle. You’ll need this item for the production of Tanned Leather.

Once you have built and placed your Tanning Rack, add the raw hide to one of its slots. Add either a tanning agent or a source of fuel that will be consumed during the process. If you have Tannin, it will work just fine.

You’ll need to wait for some time for the process to complete. Once done, you’ll have your Tanned Leather.

How to use Tanned Leather in Windrose

Tanned Leather has plenty of use when it comes to crafting armor. Almost every mid and end-game item will need Tanned Leather. The demand for it goes up once you unlock Foothills, which is the second biome in the game.

However, you can start collecting the required materials like Clay and Rough Hides early to make things easier when you’ll actually need Tanned Leather in your inventory.
