Starship Troopers: Extermination Update 1.4 is locked, loaded, and ready to deploy for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Update 1.4 brings smarter enemies, powerful new tools, and long-awaited features that give troopers an even greater edge on the frontlines.

Inspired by the Starship Troopers movie, Starship Troopers: Extermination is an action-packed co-op FPS where players join the Deep Space Vanguard to fight relentless Arachnid hordes across hostile planets.

Starship Troopers: Extermination Update 1.4 includes:

• Fednet Heroism Feature – Troopers can now equip FedNet cameras to document heroism on the battlefield, increasing unit morale and XP gains. Capture the action, earn rewards, and turn every mission into a propaganda masterpiece!!!
  
  
• Underbarrel Attachment for Morita MK1 – Troopers who’ve reached Weapon Mastery level 6 or higher with the Morita MK1 can now equip an underbarrel attachment through the loadout menu. Warning: additional weight shifts the rifle's balance forward, slightly reducing accuracy while moving and shooting.
  
  
• Improved Bug Pathing – Bugs will navigate more effectively and get stuck less often in the environment.
  
  
• General Gameplay Enhancements – A range of quality-of-life improvements and balancing tweaks designed to refine core mechanics and elevate the overall tactical experience on the battlefield.
  
  

The battle isn't over yet — update 1.5 is on the horizon, bringing even more firepower and gameplay improvements.

Starship Troopers: Extermination Update 1.5 Features:

• New weapon - Morita MK2 – A brand new, powerful weapon, seen briefly in the movies, is added to the players' arsenal to help turn the tide against the arachnid threat.
  
  
• Galactic Front – Phase 1 Overhaul – Major improvements to accessibility and usability of Company Operations based on community feedback.
  
  
• Eliminate the need to purchase for Company Ops – Company operations will now be displayed as a rotating list in the game menu, linked to the player's progress milestones.
  
  
• New Quickplay Option for Company Ops – Jump into operations faster with a streamlined matchmaking experience tailored for Company Ops.
  
  
• Dynamic Sky System Added to X-11 – A new visual layer to the battlefield debuts with dynamic, evolving skies, with continued refinements planned over time.
  
  

And that’s not all — the developers have one more surprise. Based on players' feedback and analytics, it’s clear: players want Hive Hunt to support 16-player matchmaking. So, starting in 1.5, Hive Hunt will become a 16-player-only mode!

This is Part 1 of an even larger revamp aimed at making Hive Hunt a core part of the 16-player experience. We want it to feel bigger, bolder, and more intense, so please keep the feedback coming as we continue to refine it!

Key Hive Hunt Changes:

• Players must now carry Nukes to each hive and detonate them.
  
  
• The rest of the squad will need to protect the Nuke carriers to ensure a successful strike.
  
  
• Spawn tables are getting updated to raise the challenge but be warned: the mode may feel a bit easier until the full changes land in 1.6
