How to Obtain Silk in Marathon & Its Uses

Select Language:

Sure! Here’s a simplified, unique, and human-like rewrite of the content in American English:

Marathon is a modern live-service game that uses three main in-game currencies: Credits, Lux, and Silk. Credits are used for the main gameplay economy, like upgrading your vault. Lux has caused some debate, especially because of a battle pass that many players dislike. Silk, on the other hand, seems to earn itself automatically, and at first, it’s not obvious what it’s used for.

The game has a rich story, and it shares its mechanics through in-game logs called codex entries. You’ll learn about Silk the first time you check your Reward Pass. If you miss the explanation, you can always click the question mark icon in the Reward Pass screen later to find out more about Silk.

Silk Is Used for the Reward Pass in Marathon

Silk is the currency you spend on Marathon’s version of a Battle Pass, called the Reward Pass. Mostly, it helps you unlock cosmetic items, such as skins and charms. The game offers a free track that everyone can access. To get the additional rewards, you need to buy the Premium Reward Pass, which is included if you purchased the Deluxe Edition of the game.

The Deluxe Edition also provides 200 Silk right away, giving you a head start on the first season’s Reward Pass. Keeping up with the Reward Pass is especially important if you didn’t buy the premium version because it has a feature called Schema. Unlocking a Schema lets you buy specific weapons from the armory, although you are limited on how many vouchers you can use for each Schema. It’s a bit complicated, but it’s one of the ways to get some of the stronger weapons in the game.

How to Earn Silk in Marathon

The only way to earn Silk is by increasing your season level. Your season level is just a measure of how much experience (XP) you gain by playing. When a new season begins, the level resets, and you’ll likely get a fresh Reward Pass. Every time you level up, you gain 10 Silk.

There is a cap on Silk – you can hold a maximum of 140 Silk at a time. If you buy the Deluxe Edition and get the 200 Silk bonus, your balance will be temporarily above that limit until you spend some. Silk is one of three currencies in the game, along with Credits and Lux. It mostly accumulates passively just by playing. The more you complete runs, the more Silk you will earn to spend in the Reward Pass.

Hope this helps clarify how Silk works in Marathon!
