TTK & Combat Analytics in Tau Ceti IV
In Bungie's Marathon extraction sandbox, combat is unforgiving and decisive. With a baseline 120 HP health pool plus shield layers (adding 20+ effective HP) and a unique continuous health-regen model, engagements are decided in milliseconds. Our analytics engine decomposes the entire damage calculation pipeline: base damage, rate of fire, headshot multipliers, range drop-off curves, and Ballistic versus Volt (energy) ammo penetration.
Whether wielding the devastating close-quarters WSTR Combat Shotgun, the versatile BR33 Volley Rifle, the dueling Bully SMG, or long-range Longshot precision rifles, understanding your exact shots-to-kill (STK) and time-to-kill (TTK) under live armor values determines whether you secure extraction or lose your entire inventory to Tau Ceti IV.
Our tools factor in weapon bloom, recoil drift, and attachment modificationsโgiving you practical, realistic combat metrics rather than purely theoretical paper DPS.
Runner Shells, Cores, Implants & The Cradle
Loadouts in Marathon extend beyond firearms. Every deployment requires selecting from 7 specialized Runner ShellsโAssassin (stealth/invisibility), Recon (tracking & echo pulse), Thief (loot extraction & vertical grappling), Destroyer (riot barricades & high-impact firepower), Vandal (high mobility), Triage (combat sustain), or the zero-risk Rook exploration chassis.
Shell performance is deeply customizable via Shell-Specific Cores (which alter tactical cooldowns and mobility parameters) and Universal Implants (which stack fixed perks and stat buffs). With the Season 2 introduction of The Cradle account-wide progression matrix, fine-tuning your perk allocation provides a permanent edge across seasonal wipes.
Our database and calculators track all 6 corporate factionsโCyberAcme, NuCaloric, Traxus, MIDA, Arachne, and Sekiguchi Geneticsโensuring your contract routing and weapon loadouts yield maximum survival probability and Extraction ROI.
