Marathon Ends the PvE Event That Briefly Tripled Its Player Count

Bungie took Marathon offline on August 18 for Update 1.1.5.4 and ended Vault Breaker, the player-versus-environment mode that briefly tripled the extraction shooter's numbers earlier in August. Bungie had already extended Vault Breaker past its original August 4 close. Any unspent Vault Data and items left sitting in the Vault Breaker Armory were wiped when the event ended, so grinders who banked resources without spending them lost them.
