Firewall V2

Firewall V2 is an enhanced rarity shield implant in Marathon that grants +15 Firewall, a mid-tier upgrade in the Firewall implant family. The Firewall stat reduces the duration of electronic status effects such as EMP and hack debuffs, which temporarily shut down your Runner's active abilities and electronics. With 50% more Firewall than V1, Firewall V2 meaningfully shortens the window of vulnerability following an electronic hit, letting you recover and respond faster in both PvE and PvP encounters.

At enhanced rarity, Firewall V2 sits in the middle of the Firewall line and represents a solid mid-game investment for runners who want consistent electronic defense without committing to a deluxe-tier implant slot cost. It is a strong pick for runners entering zones with moderate-to-heavy UESC or tech-focused enemy presence. Runners who prioritize movement and ability uptime, and therefore cannot afford the full debuff duration of V1, will find V2 a reliable upgrade. Those facing elite-tier content may want to consider Firewall V3 for the maximum Firewall bonus in this family.
