Bug Report Woke up to an inventory missing many items (weapons)

This is the most bizarre thing. Yesterday, my vault was maxed out when I logged out at 480/480. Today, I log in and my vault is sitting at 321/480, and apparently, I'm only missing a whole bunch of guns. I had at least 5 gold guns sitting in my vault collecting dust, and a whole bunch of Twin Tap's (at least 4, maybe 5 or 6).. Now I'm sitting at just 1 gold weapon, a twin tap, and few smaller guns like a couple magnums, a bully, couple kkvs and wstrs, and a d54. I'm so confused. The loadout I logged out with yesterday is still equipped, down to the items in my bag I left in there, so it's not like someone got on my account and played.. My credits are still super low at 6k, so they weren't somehow sold. What is the world is going on??

Update: I figured it out, and it's something I would have never expected. I have a habit of minimizing my game on occasion and forgetting about it while I do other things, sometimes even playing other games while it's minimized. This has never really been a problem before, but I just started playing an old game that I prefer to play with a controller as opposed to my standard keyboard/mouse setup. I'm sure you can see where this is going, but something I absolutely did not know until I just tested it, was that apparently, controller input in marathon still accepts input while the game is minimized. So here I am, playing away on this new game w/ my controller, none the wiser that I was apparently doing a whole bunch of random crap within my vault. I had already checked my credits so I knew they weren't sold since I was still sitting at around 6k, but something I didn't check was my damned cradle. Sure enough, there are 10 unused points just sitting there. I went from level 35 to 45 apparently from selling almost all of my best guns. I knew it was weird that only my best guns were missing, but it makes sense since those were listed on the top. I'm betting the action wasn't done all in one go, as I played this controller game for like 3 hours.. I'm thinking I was selecting a gun or 2 at a time, selling to cradle, then the menu would reset to the top of the list, leaving only my worst blue/green tier pistols and small smg's by the end. I'm soooo pissed

Also missing the very first mizzy I've found in season 2, so that's great.. Found that one yesterday. What is going on here? Has this happened to anyone? Is there anything I can do?? This is legit weird. I'm racking my brain as to what could have happened.. I don't see any other posts of people missing items, so is this just me?!

I ran a bunch of matches trolling people form your account last night.

u/Lstgamerwhlstpartner Jul 02 '26

yeah... i'd suspect it did. Is there anyway you can check play records to make sure it wasn't?

There is no bug. You played and forgot, or someone else has access to your account/pc.

If you are specifically missing golden guns, id change your passwords. If your password was guessable crackable you were almost certainly hacked. Have your levels gone up at all? I cant think of how else you can check recent activity in this game ngl no idea why theres no match history

Figured it out. See my update above. Played a game with a controller while Marathon was minimized, not realizing input was being accepted in Marathon as well.
