- Marathon Deluxe Edition owners have discovered a Silk exploit that allows them to quickly run the Reward Pass.
- The bug allows players to stockpile silk by restarting their game over and over again.
- Bungie has already stated that it will permanently ban players who cheat
Marathon Players who purchased the Deluxe Edition have already discovered an exploit that allows them to quickly complete the Reward Pass.
Bungie’s dark sci-fi first-person shooter finally launched on PC and consoles yesterday, and the studio may soon have to implement a fix thanks to a resource bug that forces players to complete their Reward Pass in a day.
Silk’s goal is to progress in the Reward Pass. Marathon has a cap of 140 Silk, but the game’s Silk overflow system allows any extra received by Deluxe Edition players to be used by simply restarting the game.
This is where the exploit comes in. It was discovered that when players restart the game to get their remaining 60 Silk, they receive the full Deluxe Edition Silk reward again, and the bug is reproducible.
INFINITE SILK EXPLOIT: – Restart the game to get rewards from the deluxe edition – Bungie gives +200 free silks – Spend 140 silks – Restart the game and repeat I think this only works if you have the deluxe edition as they give 200 silks as it doesn’t work at launch.

As shown in the exploit tutorial above, players can spend everything except their overflow Silk, log out, restart the game and the spent Silk will be restored, with the Reward Pass stages unlocked.
Repeat the process over and over and players find that their Reward Pass is fully completed.
Technicallythis cheats the system, allowing players to access their Reward Pass goodies within minutes if they can’t be bothered to accumulate silk while playing the game.
Bungie previously shared a statement condemning all forms of cheating in a blog post last month.
“Anyone who cheats will be permanently banned from playing. Marathon forever, no second chances,” warned the developer.
The exploit will likely be patched soon if brought to Bungie’s attention. The studio has already canceled the progress of Destiny 2 bugs, but we don’t know at the moment if Marathon players who took advantage of this will be punished or will simply have to unlock their entire Reward Pass again once the exploit is fixed. Time will tell.
