A breakdown of all the different stats and attributes of a Shell and what each one does in Marathon. As a Runner in Marathon, your consciousness will be beamed into a Shell and sent to Tau Ceti IV. Each of these Shells feature different abilities and powers, along with different stats. Though they might seem minor, these stats can dramatically change the feel of a Shell and could even dictate how you play them. In order for you to get the most out of a Shell, you’ll need to understand the Shell stats. Shell stats are split into 13 different areas. Each area can be increased through implants, cores, and other things in Marathon. Arguably the least import of these stats is the Ping Duration. With proper callouts, you can keep track of a foe reasonably well, and even then, you can just keep pinging. Revive Speed, Loot Speed, and the recovery speed of your Prime and Tactical abilities seem fairly important. Now that you know what the stats mean, here’s a quick look at all of the Shells and their individual stats. We’ll be sure to update this when more Shells are added to Marathon. In the meantime, make sure you check out our guide on all Shells & abilities so you know what each one can do. Those are all of the Shell stats in Marathon. These may change over time and new Shells are bound to be introduced, so keep coming back for the latest info. Check out our Marathon page for more coverage.
