Best Marathon faction upgrades and how to unlock them

The best Marathon faction upgrades add noticeable boosts to your stats and make some of the best gear in the game easier to access. Many upgrades unlock essential consumables and Implants in the Marathon Armory, letting you buy core loadout items or obtain them for free to lessen the sting of losing gear.

CyberAcme, NuCaloric, and Sekiguchi are the most useful early on. CyberAcme upgrades worth prioritizing include Expansion to increase vault space, Informant.exe to boost data card value, Carrier and Carrier+ to unlock Enhanced and Deluxe Backpacks, Scavenger.exe to raise Loot Speed, and Heat Sink.exe to increase Heat Capacity.

NuCaloric offers Safeguard, Advanced Shields, and Safeguard+ for daily free Shield Charges, Restore, Advanced Patch and Restore+ for daily Patch Kits, Shielded to unlock Enhanced Shields, Recovery.exe to speed healing, and Self-Revive for Armory purchases. Traxus unlocks weapons in the Armory such as an Enhanced Heavy Submachine Gun and the MIPS Longshot Sniper Rifle.
