Bungie has officially revealed the fastest completion times from Marathon’s Vault Breaker Speed Challenge, and some crews managed to clear the activity in impressive time.
The competition, which ended on November 10, challenged players to defeat the Compiler as quickly as possible. Only the 30 fastest crews would receive exclusive rewards, and Bungie has now revealed just how fast players needed to be to qualify.
In brief:
- The fastest crew completed the Vault Breaker Speed Challenge in 12 minutes and 43 seconds.
- Second and third place finished in 13 minutes and 13 minutes 26 seconds, respectively.
- The cutoff time to qualify among the top 30 crews was 17 minutes and 49 seconds.
- Bungie is currently reviewing results and preparing to distribute rewards to the winning crews.
Marathon Vault Breaker Speed Challenge Fastest Times Revealed
Following the conclusion of the event, the Marathon Development Team shared the top three completion times on X.
Here are the fastest recorded times from the competition:
| Placement | Completion Time |
|---|---|
| 1st Place | 12 minutes, 43 seconds |
| 2nd Place | 13 minutes |
| 3rd Place | 13 minutes, 26 seconds |
| Top 30 Cutoff | 17 minutes, 49 seconds |
The winning crew finished 17 seconds ahead of second place, while the third-fastest team completed its run just 26 seconds behind the runner-up.
Interestingly, crews needed to complete the challenge in 17 minutes and 49 seconds or less to make the top 30, showing just how competitive the event became.
During the final stages of the competition, Bungie had previously reported that the time to beat for a top-30 spot was 20 minutes and 20 seconds. However, that cutoff dropped considerably before the event ended.
Bungie Confirms the Fastest Marathon Vault Breaker Crew
Bungie also congratulated the crew featuring player “ItzTheDub“, confirming that their team secured the fastest completion time.
The winning crew’s shared results screen features three players:
- kart338#5248
- itzthedub yt#6690
- Nightshade#9788
The team successfully extracted, with a combined 35 combatant eliminations.
Responding to ItzTheDub on X, the Marathon Development Team confirmed their first-place finish and asked whether they had recorded the run so it could be shared with the community.
ItzTheDub subsequently shared a recording of the run on YouTube, giving other players a chance to see how the crew approached the challenge.
Marathon Vault Breaker Speed Challenge Rewards Are Being Distributed Soon
While the competition has ended, Bungie has yet to finish distributing the rewards.
According to the developers, the team is actively reviewing the results and preparing to grant rewards to the 30 qualifying crews.
Players who secured a top-30 finish will receive the following rewards:
- Support Tag Weapon Charm
- Biotoxic Disinjector
- 1,000 Hyphatic Gel
- 1 Prestige Key
Bungie has confirmed that players will be notified once the rewards arrive in their in-game inboxes. However, an exact distribution date has not been announced.
As we previously covered in our Marathon Vault Breaker Speed Challenge announcement, the event ran from November 3 to November 10, 2026.
The challenge encouraged players to optimize their routes, coordinate with teammates, and defeat the Compiler as quickly as possible in Marathon’s limited-time PvE activity.
With the final results revealed, the fastest crews have earned their bragging rights. Now, they just need to wait for Bungie to deliver their rewards.
