In Marathon, players can discover numerous Faction enhancements to unlock. Each enhancement either boosts a Runner’s characteristic, increases inventory space, or introduces fresh equipment in the Black Market. The process of enhancing these takes some time, as a good amount of credits and resources are required for each one. Here you will find tables that detail each Faction and their corresponding upgrades.
