Chainbreaker

The Chainbreaker holds a unique record in Marathon: the highest ammunition capacity of any weapon, period. Its 150-round capacity and fully automatic fire rate create a level of sustained suppressive fire that literally no other weapon can maintain. What it lacks is accuracy, handling speed, and the ability to be used effectively by anyone running faster than a slow walk. The Chainbreaker is a stationary weapon used by stationary players in specific defensive contexts — and in those contexts, it is extraordinary.

Combat Application

The Chainbreaker's ideal scenario is a defended chokepoint with a Cerberus Shell runner who has Iron Bulwark available. Set up in a doorway or corridor entrance with the Chainbreaker pre-spun, and the weapon becomes a wall of fire that almost nothing can safely advance through. In Terminus tunnel sections and Core lower-level corridors, the Chainbreaker's range weakness is mitigated by the confined geometry. Carry a fast secondary for any situation that requires mobility.
