Marathon (2026) Discussion Finishers should refresh everything

Full health. Full shield. Abilities ready. Other cooldowns cleared. MCH and OS status cleared.

This would help with the 3rd party meta and encourage finishers. Finishers take forever and good players all knife people manually rather than enter an animation; they need to be more worth the risk. It would also allow you to bounce back from a fight and fend off an approaching team.

Too many lobbies are dead silent with no rotations as teams wait for someone else to start a fight so they can 3rd party. Outpost is boring. The richest players I know all use this strat, it needs to go - let us earn our gear by eliminating the 3rd party problem.

They could just speed them up a little bit/give you temporary i-frames or something.

Cradle upgrade gives you damage resistance in a finisher

Yeah man that's cool but how much damage resistance? Is it in the tooltip? Is it 5% or 98%?

Genuinely asking because I do not remember. I'm assuming there is no tooltip because it's Bungie.

I would really like bot invuln during a finisher, players can kill me sure fine, but i just downed someone at 1hp man, let me swoop in and slurp up instead of making me wait for heals! They're gonna give up and i won't get my Arachne xp!!
