What Is Cryo Archive in Marathon?

Cryo Archive is fourth map and the first dedicated endgame zone in Marathon. It's set aboard the UESC Marathon colony ship in orbit above Tau Ceti IV. Doors, supply rooms, and exfils are gated behind Security Clearance you build during the run. Seven Vaults hold the best loot in the game.

Cryo Archive opens on Thursday 10 AM PT and runs till Sunday 10 AM PT. When Cryo closes at weekend cutoff, weekly contract progress resets. Codex progress carries over.

This is also the first map with no solo queue. You can entry Cryo Archive only as a squad of three, either premade or filled by matchmaking. Rooks cannot queue for Cryo Archive at all.

What Are Cryo Archive Contracts?

Cryo contracts come from CyberAcme and work differently from standard faction contracts. When Cryo Archive is open, a pool of 7 unique contracts appears.

You and your squad can re-roll which contract is active so everyone is working toward the same objective during a run. Complete a contract and it's removed from your pool for that week. When Cryo opens the next weekend, all your progress resets.

Each contract you complete gives a random high-rarity item – a locked room key, Vault key, material, or piece of gear.

All 7 Cryo contracts:

1. Good Hatch – Open a specific hatch and solve a Vault (2 objectives)
2. Up Your Arsenal – Ransack the Arsenal and solve a Vault (2 objectives, 120 REP each)
3. Runner Gunner – Flatline 7 rival Runners and solve a Vault (2 objectives)
4. Servants of Death – Destroy 200 UESC puppets and solve a Vault (2 objectives)
5. Cache Rules – Find a hidden cache and solve a Vault (2 objectives)
6. Charge Up, Chill Out – Escape with 14 Batteries and Full Coolants and solve a Vault (2 objectives)
7. Security Protocols – Interact with 5 Security Monitors and solve a Vault (2 objectives)

Every contract includes a Vault solve as its second objective. That means clearing your weekly contracts also means running Vaults – which requires Vault Keys.

What Is Security Clearance?

Security Clearance is a per-run progression bar you fill by looting Security Tags – cards scattered around the map and dropped by higher-tier enemies – and by interacting with security terminals.

Each tag fills the bar. It goes from level 1 to level 5. Doors, supply rooms, and exfils are locked behind specific levels: you can't use certain exfils until you hit clearance 3, for example. Lose the run before you build enough clearance and the better loot routes and exfil options stay locked.

What Are Vaults in Cryo Archive?

Cryo Archive has 7 Vaults – heavily secured rooms with the best loot in Marathon, some of which can't be found anywhere else. Each Vault has a unique entry challenge or access requirement, and each one needs a specific Vault Key to open.

Vault Keys drop from planet-side zones - higher-risk activities are more likely to yield them. Once inside, you work through puzzle interactions while other crews who want the same loot are doing the same thing.

Vaults contain top-tier loot like unique Prestige-tier weapons in special cabinets, and high-value Contraband Valuables – items like Compiler Traces that auto-sell for up to 40000 credits on exfil.

Vault Completion is offered only for High-Reward Run and only when matching key is already on your account.

Why Is Cryo Archive the Hardest Map?

Requirements filter out most players before the run even starts. Then you're dealing with Security Clearance gating, Vault Key management, and 7 contracts that each require a Vault solve on top of normal extraction pressure. Exfils on Cryo Archive are less reliable than planetside zones and follow different rules.

Servants of Death alone asks for 200 UESC puppet kills in a single weekly window. Charge Up, Chill Out needs 14 Batteries and Full Coolants extracted – items that take up inventory space and have to survive the run. Runner Gunner needs 7 rival Runner kills, which means contested PvP in a map where everyone else is also trying to extract with valuable gear.

One failed exfil can wipe the progress from a long run. That's the core problem Cryo Archive creates: the objectives are achievable, but the extraction requirement to lock them in is not.

How Marathon Cryo Archive Boost Works

1. Choose your run - Pick Basic Run for stable fast exfils, or High-Reward Run for Security Clearance Level 5, PvP-focused runs with higher-tier loot and optional Vaults or Contract completions.
2. Set exact objective scope - For High-Reward Run, you can select Contract Completion for specific weekly contracts. Vault Completion is also selected here and requires matching key on your account.
3. Pre-run account check - We confirm current contract poo & entry requirements, before live Cryo window starts. If a selected vault key is missing, scope is adjusted before launch, not mid-session.
4. Cryo sessions execute in live window - Progress is built through successful exfils during Thursday 10 AM PT - Sunday 10 AM PT period. Weekly contract progress resets when Cryo closes; Codex progress stays.
5. Results stay on your account - You return to an account with items for completed contracts, extracted loot, vault rewards, and all related Cryo Codex progression.

Why Choose LevelUpper for Cryo Archive

• You can choose between Basic Run or High-Reward Run, plus exactly which contract or vault targets are included.
• You can select exact Contracts and Vaults you need. You pay only for what is left instead of rebuying work you already done.
• High-Reward Run lets you combine contracts and selected vault objectives in one order, so one successful session can return much higher-value loot.
• Cryo opens Thursday 10 AM PT and closes Sunday 10 AM PT. You can place order any day, then we schedule your run for live window so you do not miss another weekend cycle.
