Best Beginner Runner in Marathon

Triage, the squad medic Runner voiced by Elliot Knight, is a strong first pick if you're playing with a group — support roles tend to be more forgiving while you're still learning extraction timing and map layouts.

If you'd rather play solo or avoid firefights while you learn, Thief rewards covert looting over direct combat, letting you focus on the extraction loop without needing to win every gunfight.

Whatever you pick, remember Runners lock in for the whole match — there's no switching once you've launched, so choose based on how you want to play that specific run, not just what looks coolest.
