Bungie is trying out something unique with Marathon Season 2, creating what it calls a “PvP lite and low-risk way” to play the game, set aside from regular runs. The mode, named Sponsored Survival, will drop a single crew into the new zone, Night Marsh, free to loot and fight UESC bots to their heart’s content. That is, at least, for a little while, because as the game progresses, some unwelcome visitors are set to arrive, desperate to steal any gear they can get their hands on.

 Marathon’s experimental Sponsored Survival mode lets you loot Night Marsh alone, until Rooks arrive desperate for your hard-earned gear.  PCGamesN
