Buy Marathon Season 3 PvE Carry

What exactly am I pre-ordering here?

A block of runs in Marathon’s first permanent PvE mode, which arrives with Season 3 on 22 September 2026. Bungie has confirmed the mode exists and has confirmed the date, but has not published the mode’s name or its structure. This page therefore sells run count, platform and completion method only. Nothing is promised about names, bosses or rewards that Bungie has not announced, and the order queue opens on launch day.

How much does a Marathon Season 3 PvE carry cost?

A single run is $15.00 on PC, PlayStation or Xbox, and the per-run rate falls as the slider climbs: the tenth run is priced at $12.15 and all ten together come to $135.00. The platform selector adds nothing. The only surcharge on the page is the optional self-play tick, which adds 50 percent because a paying seat in the squad becomes yours instead of a booster’s.

When do the runs actually start?

On launch day. Season 3 goes live on 22 September 2026 and the PvE mode ships with it, so nothing can be played before that date. Orders placed now are held in the queue and scheduled from the moment the mode is playable, in the order they were received. If Bungie moves the date, your order moves with it and you keep the price you booked at.

What was Vault Breaker and why does it matter?

Vault Breaker was Marathon’s first experimental PvE mode, live from 21 July to 4 August 2026 and explicitly described by Bungie as the testing ground for the Season 3 PvE mode. It ran inside the Cryo Archive with UESC enemies only, used Cryo Key 01 and 02, chained increasingly difficult vaults on a countdown, and handed out Sponsored Kits with roguelite upgrades that carried between matches. Our Runners cleared it, which is the experience this pre-order is built on.

Is the Season 3 PvE mode on Perimeter?

Bungie has confirmed that Season 3 gives Perimeter major new areas, encounters and gameplay, and that the first permanent PvE mode ships in the same season. It has not said the two are the same thing. Perimeter is the starting zone on Tau Ceti IV, the outskirts of the UESC colony, and holds North Relay, Station, South Relay, Overflow and Hauler. We will run wherever the mode puts us.

Does anything from these runs survive the seasonal wipe?

Marathon wipes about every three months, four seasons a year, and the wipe clears Runner level, Season Level, Ranked level, faction levels, the Vault and non-premium currencies. Weapon and Shell cosmetics, non-seasonal Codex unlocks, titles, Reward Pass progress, Cryo Archive Subroutine progress, Liaison contract progression, SILK and Lux all carry over. Buying runs early in a season is how you get the most out of the progress that does reset.

Can I play the runs myself?

Yes. Tick self-play and you stay logged into your own account with our Runners filling the rest of the squad, calling routing and objectives on comms. It adds 50 percent to the order because one paying seat is a booster seat handed to you. Leave the box unticked and the runs are piloted, which needs nothing from you after checkout. Both options are available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

Which platforms can I order the carry on?

PC, PlayStation and Xbox, priced identically — the platform buttons carry no surcharge. Pick a platform, set the run count anywhere from 1 to 10, and choose piloted or self-play. Everything the runs earn stays on your account, and because this is a pre-order you can change your platform selection with support at any point before Season 3 goes live on 22 September 2026.
