Salvage is one of the most important item types in Marathon, as you’ll need them to progress your faction upgrades and trade them in for gear, ammo, and meds. All salvage items appear in specific areas in each zone, whether in Perimeter, Dire Marsh, Outpost, or Cryo Archives. This guide will show you all the locations for each Salvage item from the common Unstable to the Prestige variants.
