The War Rages On: Starship Troopers: Extermination Prepares for Major Updates in Patches 1.3 & 1.4

The fight for Valaka is far from over! Starship Troopers: Extermination is gearing up for two major updates that will bring thrilling new gameplay mechanics, significant optimizations, and long-awaited additions to the battlefield. Offworld Industries is doubling down on immersive, large-scale co-op warfare — because in the Federation, the battle never stops!

Patch 1.3 – Evolving the Battlefield

Available now, Patch 1.3 introduces:

• Dynamic Sky & Weather System – Valaka, Boreas, and Agni Prime now feature Day & Night cycles and Dynamic Weather, creating an ever-changing battlefield for troopers. Each planet has unique weather systems, adding new challenges. The Sandstorm Mutator has been revamped with varying intensities, from mild to blinding. New Extreme Weather Mutators include thunderstorms, blizzards, and ashstorms, making survival even tougher.
   
• Staged Weapon Reloads – No more frustrating interruptions! All weapons (except the Sp.L.I.T Shotgun and Sp.L.I.T Shotgun Slug) now feature progressive reload stages. If you’re forced to stop reloading mid-combat, you’ll resume from the last checkpoint rather than starting over.
   
• Quality-of-Life Enhancements:
  
  • XP for Disconnections – Players will now earn XP if they disconnect due to crashes or server issues—traitors, however, won’t be so lucky.
     
  • Improved Company System – Invite friends to your company directly from their profile or request to join a company, even without an invitation.
     
  • Key Optimizations & Bug Fixes – Smoother combat, better performance, and a more polished experience.

For the full list of changes, check out the official patch notes.

Patch 1.4 – What’s Coming Next?

Offworld Industries isn’t stopping there — Patch 1.4, set to arrive later this year, will introduce even more game-changing additions:

• Underbarrel Attachment for Morita MK1 – A highly requested feature is finally making its way into the arsenal, opening the door for future Morita MK2 & MK3 upgrades.
   
• Broadcast Heroism System – Become a Federation war reporter! Recover Federal Network Broadcast Cameras on the battlefield and capture the chaos to boost your squad’s Morale XP. Side objectives in ARC and Horde modes will now feature these thrilling recording opportunities.
   
• And many more updates and Quality-of-Life Enhancements

With these updates, Starship Troopers: Extermination continues to raise the bar for cooperative, large-scale warfare. Stay connected on Discord and Steam for the latest news as the Federation prepares for its next deployment!
