Gaming: New Marathon Dcon Locations And How To Use Them 2026

Keep up to date with the most important stories and the best deals, as picked by the PC Gamer team.

Marathon isn't exactly fluent at explaining its many systems and mechanics. One such hurdle you'll soon run into when completing some early quests is DCONs, which you'll need to find and interact with before being formally introduced to them—often while racing the clock. Knowing the DCON locations ahead of time can save you a lot of hassle.

Below, I'll go over all the locations where you can find DCONs and what exactly you use them for. This'll come in handy for the early Equitable Distribution priority contract for Traxus, but also some repeatable ones for other factions, like Spark/Ignite 1 for MIDA.

DCON are terminals with antennae, located either outside or on the roof of specific buildings across the maps, where you can deposit items for certain contracts. Whenever you require a DCON during a quest, they should be marked on your map with a unique crate icon, but this is bugged for some players.

Head to any of these DCON locations and interact with them to open the terminal's inventory. For any contracts that involve using these machines, you'll be able to transfer the quest items into the terminal's inventory, which will then be deposited and sent off into space when you close the menu.

Unfortunately, these DCON terminals can't be used to safely send items back to your vault mid-match, like a suped-up safe pocket, though it would be pretty cool if they could.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
