The Conveyance Request is essential for accessing the Drone Wing on Marathon’s Outpost map. It spawns in several locations, so runners should check multiple spots before heading up. Bungie designed it as a randomized pickup, which means you can’t rely on a single route for every run.
Look for the Conveyance Request in the lower administrative corridors of Outpost, usually around desks, filing terminals, or storage crates in the map’s mid-section. Players should prioritize the offices next to the main atrium first. Community data from guides on Shacknews shows those rooms have the highest spawn rates.
If the administrative offices are empty, check the utility rooms near the cargo lifts on the ground floor. These secondary locations aren’t as reliable but do contribute to a significant number of confirmed finds reported by players. The item looks like a standard document pickup, so it can be easy to overlook when you’re in a rush.
Once you grab the Conveyance Request, you’ll be able to access the Drone Wing entrance on the upper level of Outpost. This area contains better loot and contract objectives linked to MIDA Priority Contracts, making the search worthwhile. IGN’s MIDA Priority Contract walkthrough details what you can expect once you enter.
Marathon launched on March 5, 2026, for $39.99 and has received 33,992 Steam reviews with an 88% positive rating. However, player sentiment about the game’s overall direction is more negative than that number suggests. Currently, there are 20,232 concurrent players on Steam, reflecting both the game’s extraction shooter audience and the issues it faced during its first weeks after launch.
| Steam Review Score | 88% positive |

| Current Steam Players | 20,232 |
| Launch Price | $39.99 |
| Copies Sold (first weeks) | 1.2 million |
Community feelings about Marathon are mixed. One reviewer on Steam cut through the noise with a blunt comment: “Should’ve made D3 instead of a niche piece of ♥♥♥♥.” This sentiment appears frequently in the reviews, highlighting the tension between Bungie’s shift to extraction shooters and its established fanbase. While the 1.2 million copies sold figure initially looked good, a reported 70% refund rate during the launch window complicated matters.
What To Watch
- Spawn rate adjustments: Bungie might change the spawn frequency for the Conveyance Request if feedback suggests the current setup is making contract completions too challenging.
- Drone Wing content updates: Keep an eye out for any expansions to the loot pool or contract objectives in the Drone Wing with upcoming seasonal content drops.
- Player retention curve: With 20,232 players currently and a rocky launch behind it, the numbers in the second and third months will show whether Bungie needs to speed up content patches or adjust the game’s economy.
