"Footage of the "most HEINOUS, EVIL, and DISGUSTING thing" NAPainter said he's ever done in a video game before rippled through the Marathon community earlier this week. It showed him using an out-of-bounds glitch on Cryo Archive to hide in the raid boss room until an enemy team had finished the encounter. Then he ambushed them and took all of their loot."
"Cryo Clip of the Week goes to the most HEINOUS, EVIL, and DISGUSTING thing I have EVER done in any video game. If you can get Out of Bounds and you can get into the Compiler loot room. And you can just camp in the room for someone do compiler.....and then kill them."
"Bungie later addressed the incident, saying it would patch the exploit before Cryo Archive returned this weekend, as Marathon finishes out its first season. The studio added that it would investigate what happened and clarify the rules on bannable offenses. Part of that included kicking NAPainter from the game for 30 days, a punishment he detailed on X today after getting permission from Bungie's community manager."
""I received a 1 month suspension from Marathon a couple days ago for 'deliberately ruining the online experience for others, either by cheating, exploiting a game glitch, or being disruptive,'" he wrote. "Let me make this clear. I am more than ok with this outcome. I made a mistake and did something f*cked up. I'm willing to take this. No questions asked. No complaints given.""
A Marathon player used an out-of-bounds glitch on Cryo Archive to hide in a raid boss room while another team completed the encounter. After the encounter finished, he ambushed the other team and took their loot. The player later posted footage describing the act as the worst he had ever done in a video game. Bungie responded by planning to patch the exploit before Cryo Archive returned and by investigating the incident and clarifying bannable rules. Bungie issued a 30-day suspension for deliberately ruining the online experience through cheating, exploiting, or disruption. The player stated he was okay with the outcome and accepted the suspension without complaints.
