ARES RG Schema

The ARES RG Schema is a weapon blueprint that unlocks the ARES Railgun for crafting at the Armory in Marathon. Schemas function as temporary licenses: once registered, they allow a runner to purchase that weapon a limited number of times before the schema is depleted. The ARES RG is a railgun-class weapon that harnesses electromagnetic propulsion to fire projectiles at extreme velocity, delivering devastating penetrating damage capable of hitting multiple targets in a line. Railguns in Marathon operate on a charge mechanic, requiring runners to build up energy before releasing a high-damage shot that rewards patient, precision-focused play. This schema is a high-value find for runners who want repeatable access to one of Marathon's most powerful weapon types. Schemas can be found in Data Ports, Secured Lockers, supply drops, and as faction contract rewards across the game's zones.
