Crew Up Event

Description

Marathon Crew Up Event Boost

Crew Up is a limited-time Marathon event that starts on the launch day of the Symbiosis update. Bungie describes its goal plainly: "form a team with your friends and explore Tau Ceti IV with a more collaborative mindset" in Expedition, the new PvE game mode. The Crew Up challenges "start simple but will progressively get more complex and demanding".

Our team plays those challenges by hand, on your account or alongside you. Crew Up can't be completed solo: every challenge needs a crew with at least one other player who has redeemed the event code. During Open Play Week your friends can join without buying the game, but from December 15 every crewmate needs a Marathon license. We bring that crew from December 8 to 22, so the event doesn't depend on who is online or who owns the game.

How Crew Up works

• The code. Redeem DMA-T7Y-XJL on bungie.net/redeem once Symbiosis is live on December 8.
• The Codex. The code opens a new Events section in the in-game Codex with the Crew Up challenges. Completing consecutive challenges unlocks new Codex entries and the event's cosmetic rewards.
• The crew. Challenges can't be completed solo. You need to join or create a crew with at least one other player who has redeemed the code. Bungie counts Crew Up progress between friends: Bungie.net friends, or players on the same platform who are friends on that platform's friend list. Our crewmate sends you a Bungie.net friend request; accept it before we start.
• The tutorial. Crew Up challenges open after the starting tutorial.
• The window. December 8, 12 PM PT, to December 22, 10 AM PT. The first week is Open Play Week.

Expedition and Open Play Week

Expedition is "a fully PvE cooperative roguelite mode" on Perimeter, Night Marsh, Outpost and Cryo Archive. Each session is a Run Series of three runs with rising difficulty, ending in a Critical Incident; you play solo, duo or as a full trio, without PvP threats, and use Flash Boosts to shape your build during the series. During Open Play Week, from December 8 to December 15, everyone can download and play the full game without purchasing it. Players who buy Marathon after Open Play Week keep all the items and progression they unlocked.

What You Can Order

Important Reward Rules

• The guarantee is the challenges and the six cosmetics. Not a specific weapon or item from the runs.
• The rewards are yours. Each player claims their own Codex rewards, so our crewmates take nothing from your progress.
• The code goes on your account. Crew Up only counts for players who have redeemed DMA-T7Y-XJL, so it has to be redeemed on your Bungie.net account before we start.
• The event ends on December 22, 10 AM PT. The challenges get harder as you go, so order early in the event.
• From December 15 you need a Marathon license. During Open Play Week, December 8–15, the full game is playable without buying it.
• Ordering without a license? Plan around December 15. You can order while you play during Open Play Week without owning Marathon, but from December 15 Crew Up needs a license. Order in the first days of the event and tell your coach, or buy the game to keep going until December 22. If you buy it, you keep everything you unlocked.

FAQ

Can I complete Crew Up solo?

No. Bungie built every Crew Up challenge for a crew: you need at least one other player who has redeemed the Crew Up code. With this order, our players are that crew.

Do I need to own Marathon?

Not during Open Play Week, from December 8 to December 15: everyone can download and play the full game without purchasing it. From December 15 until the event ends on December 22, you need a Marathon license. If you order without one, place the order early and tell your coach, because the challenges get harder as you go and there is less than a week before a license is needed. If you buy the game after Open Play Week, you keep everything you unlocked.

What exactly do I get?

Every Crew Up challenge completed and six cosmetics claimed from your Codex: the Queen's Nest emblem, the Queen's Dominion background, the Queen's Maw weapon sticker, the Cluster Bunch weapon charm, the Arata Vectus Destroyer skin and the Exterminator title. Gear from the runs is a bonus and drops at random.

Can I play the challenges myself with your team?

Yes, with Play with our team. You sign in to your own account and play each challenge in a crew with our players. Without it, our player signs in to your account and plays the challenges in a crew with another of our players. Only one person can be signed in to an account at a time, so plan any playing time with your coach in the Dashboard chat.

Do I have to redeem the code myself?

The code has to be on your Bungie.net account: go to bungie.net/redeem and enter DMA-T7Y-XJL once Symbiosis is live on December 8. It takes a minute. If you haven't finished Marathon's starting tutorial, tell your coach: Crew Up challenges open only after it. Our crewmate will also send your account a Bungie.net friend request: accept it, because Crew Up progress counts between friends.

Crew Up ends on December 22. Order early, redeem the code, and our crew does the rest. Want more of the new PvE mode? See Expedition and Tick Queen Kill.
