Marathon's first endgame experience is here. Two weeks after launch, Cryo Archive has unlocked and teams of three are gearing up and ready to lose it all.

Cryo Archive is a total secret up until this point in time. Narrative wise, this is a huge day for fans of the original franchise as players set foot on the UESC Marathon ship for the first time. But for fans of other Bungie games, it may feel familiar.

The stakes and presentation of Cryo Archive are giving big Destiny 2 raid vibes. Bungie is hosting a live stream for the event, and players everywhere are encouraged to stream their perspectives. It's unclear if there's one true "world first" winner of Cryo Archive, especially since it's not a one-to-one of a PvE raid like in Destiny.

But for now, Runners are building their loadouts and getting ready to risk it all to discover the secrets that lie within Cryo Archive. If you can't play the map on launch (like me) and are planning on following along, this is the place for you.

Image via Bungie Cryo Archive is the fourth map in Marathon, and the first new location added after launch. It's described as a highly difficult endgame map, where players will be tested in ways they have not experienced yet.

"The UESC Marathon ship left Mars for the Tau Ceti solar system in 2472," Bungie teased of its lore. "It arrived 300 years later. Then… silence. Contact with the 30,000 colonists who set out to make a new home on an alien world was lost. Decades later, the Marathon ship still hangs abandoned in orbit, a frozen snapshot of the past promising valuable resources and information for anyone brave enough to make the trek and survive."

When it comes to difficulty, Bungie says

, fail, and lose a lot of gear:

• Intensity: Cranked to the top. Cryo Archive is a pinnacle challenge and will take many runs to learn and master.
• Playstyle: Think raid-style puzzle solving and layered mechanics wrapped around brutal extraction stakes.
• Design: A labyrinthian layout where tight corridors give way to massive open spaces, pitting enemy crews against each other to unseal frozen Vaults.

Image via Bungie Cryo Archive contains seven different Vaults, which are "heavily-secured rooms have some of the most lucrative loot in the game, some of which you can’t find anywhere else." Vault Keys have already been found on other maps in the game, but they can also be found within Cryo Archive, too.

"To access each Vault, you’ll need to complete its unique entry challenge or access requirements," Bungie explained. "Each Vault also requires a specific Vault Key for entry. Once you’re inside a Vault, you’ll work through tense puzzle interactions and race against other crews who know exactly how valuable these rooms are."
