If you want to level up faster in Marathon, relying on a few lucky extraction raids simply will not cut it; you need a structured, repeatable system.

Current ranking guides also keep pointing to the same core idea: […]

If you want to level faster in Marathon, the most important thing is not loot. It is the path you follow during the raid. A lot of players slow themselves down by taking wide routes, checking too many buildings, or staying too long after the main objective is already done. The faster players usually do the opposite.
