Should Marathon have a safe pocket? Pros and Cons Breakdown

Описание: Part 1 of Classic Marathon Playthrough https://youtube.com/live/9Ck-RN_u2hY

In many extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov and ARC Raiders, safe pockets (or secure containers) allow players to keep certain items even after dying. It softens the blow of a failed run and encourages looting high-value items without total loss.

But Marathon is taking a different path.

Bungie has confirmed that Marathon will NOT feature a safe pocket system. That means if you die, you lose everything you brought in. High risk. High tension. No safety net.

So is this the right move?

In this video, I break down:

-The pros of NOT having a safe pocket (more tension, stronger economy, true extraction stakes)
-The cons (new player frustration, risk of snowballing, accessibility concerns)
-How this decision compares to Tarkov and ARC Raiders
-Whether this makes Marathon more hardcore — or just more punishing

Extraction games live and die by risk vs reward. Removing safe containers changes that balance completely.
