Hello, Brave Troopers,
Summer is just around the corner and so is Update 1.5: Phantoms Nest, and with it comes a wave of exciting updates for Starship Troopers: Extermination.
First up, Update 1.5 is almost ready to drop, and here’s a quick refresher on what’s coming your way:
Hive Hunt expands to 16 players, introducing a brand-new “Escort the Nuke” mechanic.
Horde mode has been rebalanced, and wave progression is time-based, not tied to the number of Bugs you kill.
The Morita MK2 joins the Vanguard arsenal, equipped with a powerful experimental plasma attachment to unleash chaos on the Bug menace.
New weapon Mods added for the Morita XXX and TW-2-R Sp.L.I.T Shotgun (Slug)
And of course, we’ve implemented a significant revamp to Galactic War alongside a suite of quality-of-life improvements and bug fixes.
But that’s not all. Later this summer, we’re preparing to launch one of our biggest updates yet, featuring the long-awaited New Bug Spawning System. This new tech completely overhauls how enemy encounters unfold, giving us new tools to ensure intense, immersive action across every match.
This major update also introduces our first new game mode since Hive Hunt. Designed to complement our existing modes, this new experience brings a big challenge for you all. You’ll deploy to Valaka and Agni Prime in pursuit of Archnigeon, a mysterious resource first discovered on Boreas. With the potential to shift the tides of war in the Federation’s favor, Archnigeon is now being found in other systems and the race is on to secure it.
This is only the beginning of Operation: Critical Strike. We plan to expand this mode with new mechanics and levels in the future.
We’ll be sharing full details on Update 1.6 in our July Transmission, but our current mission objective is to deploy 1.6 in August.
Until then, stay sharp, Troopers! The future of the Federation depends on you!
