You Died A Lot During The Marathon Server Slam, And Other Game Stats From Bungie
Bungie’s Marathon Server Slam, which gave anyone interested a chance to hop into the extraction shooter over this past weekend, came to a close yesterday. In its final hours, Bungie shared the feedback and changes it has made, and is looking into further changes ahead of Marathon’s launch this week on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on March 5. Now, the former Halo and Destiny 2 studio has shared a quick clip highlighting various stats from the Server Slam – it turns out that you (yes, you) died a lot.
The video clip, shared via the official Marathon X account, features statistics on player deaths, the number of AI enemies killed, extraction exfil rates, and more. You can check out that video here, but we’ll break down the statistics one by one below, too:
- 9,152,844 Runners killed (Runners are the playable Shells you control on extraction runs)
- 16,554,683 total deaths (self-explanatory – players died…a lot)
- Most Popular Shell: Assassin (the Assassin Shell is one of six shells, and features a toolkit of abilities based around stealth, like smoke, invisibility, and more)
- 129,160,928 UESC killed (UESC is the AI enemy faction that can be found around the game’s various maps)
- 997,950 Rooks deployed (the Rook is a solo-only Shell that is meant to be a scavenger who stays out of firefights)
- 549,445 Rook deaths (awh man)
- 1.3% no exfil matches (a match where not a single team successfully exfiled out of the map, or in other words, ended their run intact)
- 41.8% Perimeter exfil rate (Perimeter was one of the two maps available during the Server Slam, intended for beginners)
- 35.6% Dire Marsh exfil rate (Dire Marsh was one of the two maps available during the Server Slam, intended for more experienced/risky players)
As you can see, players (including me) died a lot during the Marathon Server Slam over the weekend…but hey, it was a lot of peoples’ first go at the game. The full game, which will feature a sixth playable Runner Shell, additional maps, and a lot more loot, launches this week on March 5.
