- Marathon Deluxe Edition owners have discovered a Silk exploit that allows them to speed up the Rewards Pass
- The bug allows players to accumulate Silk by restarting the game over and over again.
- Bungie has previously said it would permanently ban players from cheating.
Marathon Players who purchased the Deluxe Edition have already discovered an exploit that allows them to speed up the Reward Pass.
Bungie’s dark sci-fi first-person shooter finally launched yesterday on PC and consoles, and the studio may have to implement a fix soon thanks to a resource bug that causes players to complete their Reward Pass in one day.
The purpose of Silk is to advance through the Reward Pass. Marathon has a limit of 140 Silk, but the game’s Silk overflow system allows any extras received by Deluxe Edition players to be used by simply restarting the game.
This is where the exploit comes into play. It has been discovered that when players restart the game to obtain the remaining 60 Silk, they receive the full Silk Edition Deluxe reward again and the error may repeat.
INFINITE SILK EXPLOIT: – Restart the game to get deluxe edition rewards – Bungie gives +200 silk for free – Spend 140 silk – Restart the game and repeat I think this only works if you have the deluxe edition as they give you 200 silk because it doesn’t work at launch.

As shown in the exploitation tutorial above, players can spend all but their Silk overflow, log out, restart the game and the spent Silk will be restored, with the Reward Pass stages unlocked.
Repeat the process over and over again and players will find that their Reward Pass has been completely completed.
TechnicallyThis is cheating the system, allowing players to gain access to their Reward Pass gifts in a matter of minutes if they can’t be bothered to accumulate the Silk while playing.
Bungie previously shared a statement condemning any type of cheating in a blog post last month.
“Anyone who cheats will be banned from playing permanently. Marathon forever, there are no second chances,” warned the developer.
The exploit will likely be patched soon if it is reported to Bungie. The study has previously reversed progress to Destiny 2 errors, but it is not clear at this time whether Marathon Players who exploited it will be punished or simply required to re-unlock their entire Reward Pass once the exploit is fixed. Time will tell.
