The Federation has issued a new directive asking all active Troopers to consider nominating Starship Troopers: Extermination for the Innovative Gameplay award in this year's Steam Awards!

Earlier this year, we unleashed the revolutionary Carnage System in Starship Troopers: Extermination. Gone are the days when Bug corpses vanished without a trace. Now, every Bug you destroy remains on the battlefield indefinitely, creating an ever-growing graveyard of your victories — and challenges.

These piled-up corpses aren’t just for show. They alter the terrain, blocking paths and creating new routes for the enemy. Bugs can now swarm areas they couldn’t reach before, even breaching your base. This is the kind of war where the environment itself is your greatest ally — or your deadliest foe.

But fear not, Troopers! These fallen Bugs are more than obstacles — they’re opportunities. Climb the carcasses to gain the high ground, establish sniper nests, and turn their defeat into your tactical advantage. When the battlefield becomes too cluttered, clear it with high-tier explosives or brute force through melee strikes. No matter the situation, you’ll have the tools to adapt and overcome.

The Carnage System ensures every engagement is intense, unpredictable, and unique every time you deploy. So, what are you waiting for? Consider nominating us for the Innovative Gameplay award in the name of Federation!

If you haven't already, you can get Starship Troopers: Extermination for 40% off from November 27th, 10 AM PT (GMT-7) to December 4th, 10 AM PT (GMT-7),

Update 1.1.2 will be available for troopers to download now!

If you'd like to discuss Update 1.1.2 with your fellow troopers, please feel free to join the Starship Troopers: Extermination Community Discord[discord.com]!

There have been reports from the field from troopers that there's an increased activity of bugs with hardened shells, rendering previously Federation-approved methods of clearing dead bugs ineffective. The Federation recommends sticking with your fellow troopers as we assess this new information.

• Increase memory capacity available on the servers to reduce crashes during prolonged fights with the Bugs.

• Trophy progress for Bug Kills on PS5 appears stuck but will still complete.
  
• PS5 players may encounter stuttering on player entry into a match.
  
• Class Ability UI may disappear but will still function. Redeploy or use the Loadout Locker for it to reappear.

• Addressed a bug causing larger Carnage corpses to trap other bugs.
  
• Addressed an issue where the Gear Locker would close when tapping the X/Square/E button immediately while opening it.
  
• Fixed an issue where the server would crash mid-Horde match.
  
• Fixed an issue where switching tabs while matchmaking caused a non-interactable “PLAY” button to appear.
  
• Resolved a bug that allowed players to spam class selection when using the Gear Locker.
  
• Fixed an issue where EULA text and "4-16" were displayed in the incorrect language when set to German.
  
• Fixed an issue where changing the language in the FTUE Language Selection Screen had no effect.
  
• Resolved an issue where all Warrior bug variants would remain idle to burrow and fail to attack during Horde missions.
  
• Resolved a bug where blood from damage caused by the Drop Ship or Turrets would not disappear.
  
• Improved Bug spawn rate during Arc Slam gameplay in ARC and AAS.

Update 1.1 will be available for troopers to download November 13th, 2024 at 10 AM PT (GMT-7).

This patch is a collection of content, performance, and optimization improvements and bug fixes. If you'd like to discuss Update 1.1 with your fellow troopers, please feel free to join the Starship Troopers: Extermination Community Discord[discord.com]!

• Optimizations to Trooper deaths as weapons and inventory items were causing match performance degradation.
  
• Optimization for Beacons: Replace Beacon Skeletal anim cycle with vertex animations.
  
• Optimization of Base Ammo Crate skeletal mesh.
  
• Optimization for the following LODs (Changing how detailed objects in the game look based on how far away they are from the player):
  
  • Ammo Boxes
    
  • S.P.L.I.T Drum Shotgun
    
  • MG Turrets
    
  • Morita XXX Sniper Rifle
    
  • FU-17 Flamethrower
• Optimizations to the root bones of Gunner Bugs.
  
• Optimizations to the root bones of Tiger Elite Bugs.
  
• Optimizations to the Chaos Physics system on PC.

Troopers! The Loadout Locker is a new feature coming in Update 1.1.

Loadout Lockers can be found at the back of the initial dropship in AAS, ARC, and Hive Hunt. While in Horde, they can be found placed randomly within the build zone for the first 2 (two) waves before self-destructing. The goal of the Loadout Lockers is to allow Trooper to change their loadout early on in games. Now the question might be, why only early on?

Choosing a Loadout, and locking in that choice, is integral to our intended gameplay. Troopers are given incomplete information about the combat situation and they must make choices on the gear they bring. By limiting Loadout changes to the early phases of the mission, we continue to reinforce both a Loadout's strong aspects and weaknesses - while offering a little bit more quality-of-life and flexibility.

We want to ensure that the choice of equipment and class abilities still matter. As the different classes are not equally viable at all stages of the mission; Engineers and Rangers may excel during the opening phases and Ore/Resource running, while Guardians and Demolishers can be invaluable during the final siege. Troopers will need to play smart, improvise constantly, and rely on their teammates to cover their Loadout's shortcomings.

That being said, we've heard you out, and there are absolutely cases that are frustrating in terms of class selection, and most of them happen right at the start of a game. So now, if you join in as a Sniper and there are 15 other Snipers that all select at the same time as you, you can quickly run back to the dropship and switch things up. We think this is a pretty good compromise between the intent of picking and being locked into a loadout, but also allowing players to avoid weird or annoying team compositions for the entire course of a match.

Troopers need not worry as any XP earned applies to the class and weapon it was earned on. So if you are a Ranger, kill a few bugs with your Morita MK1, and then switch over to a Demolisher with a shotgun for the remainder of the match, at the end of the match you will gain XP on the Ranger and Morita for the few bugs you’ve killed and then you will also gain the rest of the XP on the Demolisher and Shotgun.

It's time to track your collective achievements like never before! Our new Company Stats feature gives you high level insight into your Company's accomplishments and showcases the strength of your Company in the fight against the Bug menace. Here's what you can expect:

Intel Gained: See the total amount of Intel your Company has accumulated, highlighting the strategic prowess of your members as they complete regular missions and contribute to your Company's resources.

Company Operations Completed: View the number of Company Operations your Company has successfully finished. Whether you're defending the ARC or launching full-scale Assault and Secure missions, this stat tracks every hard-fought victory.

Company Operations Created: Keep an eye on how many Company Operations have been initiated by your Company Officers. This stat reflects the activity and ambition of your Officers as they strategize to conquer new challenges.

Victory Points Earned: Your Company's total Victory Points earned in all Galactic Fronts to date, are a true testament to your group's impact on the battlefield. This number captures your Company's success and dedication to conquering every threat.

This is just the beginning! We have plans to roll out even more stats in future updates, giving you deeper insights into your Company's performance. Rally your Company, aim high, and let your accomplishments be known!

Weapon mastery has been added to Special Operations Group missions. A player should be able to master one weapon if they choose to by completing all 25 solo missions with that weapon or earn XP on any of the unlocked class weapons as they see fit. Solo missions are repeatable 3 (three) times for Class and Weapon Mastery XP, with diminishing returns for each playthrough.

Troopers! We’ve gotten a lot of questions from you over the past few days on our fight in the Galactic Front against the Arachnids. We want you to enter the battle prepared, so we’ve taken the time to write up this Federation Dossier to answer your trooper's most asked questions to provide you the clarity needed to take this fight to the Bugs! Read below, troopers, and get up to date on how the Galactic Front works from Lead Game Designer Chaz Barker!


The Galactic Front is a limited-time event where players band together in Companies (Clans) to fight against the Bug menace and complete Company Operations. Winning Company Operations earns Victory Points (VP) for the Federation. Victory Points accumulate toward community-driven goals — all players work together to hit global milestones over the event’s duration.


The Galactic Front is an ongoing operation that lasts for several weeks. Each Front is a wholly new story and, as such, maybe longer or shorter depending on the way the narrative unfolds and what new mechanics or events occur.

Players will have this time to participate in missions, earn Intel, launch Company Operations, and contribute to the global Victory Point pool to unlock milestones.

The current front “A New Frontier” will last until the end of December to give new players a chance to participate during the holiday season but could end sooner if Victory Conditions are met! This also gives us time to analyze and re-balance. If the community completes the event before the last day the “Spoils of War” prizes will be awarded to all player accounts over the proceeding couple of days.


The Galactic Front represents humanity's efforts against the Arachnid threat. As such, if humanity wins, we all win! So in the spirit of that, if the community gets enough Victory Points before the end of the event, then everyone with an account at the time of victory gets the “Spoils of War” prizes.

The final milestone must be completed before the time runs out in order for the community to get the prizes. This is not assured. Everyone must DO THEIR PART!


To participate, players can join or create a Company (Clans). Where they can complete regular missions to earn Intel for their Company. Company officers can then use Intel to initiate “Company Operations”, where your performance contributes to the global Victory Points earned. You can track the Federation’s progress in the “Galactic Front” tab of the main menu. You can also see the Federation's progress by looking at the uncovered areas of fog on the planet's surface.


The initial creator of a Company is automatically an Officer. This assignment gives the authority to create Company Operations using the Company’s shared Intel. However, they can also promote other members of the Company to Officers to help with the management of Company Operations.


In a way, yes but we want to stress that players can create a very small Company even if just by themself and they can create Company Operations for the Community to matchmake into and contribute to the Victory Point total.


Regular Missions: These are the hourly missions that cycle and reward Intel, the currency used to initiate Company Operations. These missions are available even outside of Galactic Front events.

Company Operations: These missions are only available during a Galactic Front story event and require Intel to start and award Victory Points based on the performance of the Company members participating.


Company Operations are special missions that the Company Officers can create using Intel. Think of it like a Mission Creation system. Instead of waiting for random missions to cycle, we want to give the Community more choices while still keeping our matchmaking time as short as possible.

Just like regular missions, Company Operations can have Mutations, but they also have specific Objectives e.g. “Kill 500 Drones” that give extra Victory Points if completed.


First ensure you join or create a Company using the Company screen accessed via the main menu.

Once you are part of a Company, and an officer, navigate to the “Play” screen as usual through the Main Missions flow.

Click the “Create Company Ops” button to see a selection of Company Operations to purchase for your Company.

Each Company Operation is a curated mission with different difficulty levels, mutations, maps and objectives to choose from.

Once an Officer has made a selection, they can spend the Company’s shared Intel to create that Company Operation for their Company and the entire Community to matchmake into.

If there is not enough Intel to purchase the Operation then members will need to complete regular missions to collect more. This limitation prevents too many Company Operations being generated and the matchmaking system from becoming overwhelmed and slowing down due to the matchmaking population splitting up into smaller groups.


Intel is a currency earned from regular missions, it accumulates in the Company’s wallet. The Company Officers can then spend that currency to create a Company Operation that troopers can deploy to for a pre-defined period of time (usually an hour).

Again, we want to give the Player Community more choice of missions and make them thematic to the current story. The Intel limitation is a mechanic to keep our matchmaking time as short as possible.

On average, each Special Operation costs about 100 Intel to initiate, but the cost scales up with difficulty. We balance this up or down to ensure the community isn’t too split up, this allows matchmaking times to stay low while giving more mission choices to players.

Company members can earn Intel by completing regular missions, and the Intel they collect is pooled within their Company for officers to use.

Troopers do not need to be within the same company to get the Intel rewards when joining Company Operations. Troopers can also use the Quickplay to join other Company Operations our current matchmaking will prioritize troopers joining these missions!


Victory Points are the primary metric for the Galactic Front. They represent the Federation's progress in the campaign against the Bugs. Victory Points are earned by participating in Company Operations, where players are awarded medals based on their performance. Each medal contributes a certain number of VP to your Company, and the total VP helps the global community hit event milestones.


Medals are awarded in Company Operations based on performance. Each operation awards 1 gold medal for mission victory and potentially additional bronze, silver and gold medals based on the Objectives.

Each medal contributes a variable amount of VP, but the value of gold medals is always higher than silver and so on, for example,

• Gold Medal: 100 VP
  
• Silver Medal: 50 VP
  
• Bronze Medal: 25 VP

The total number of VP earned depends on the number of medals and the number of Company members participating.


Milestones are community-wide goals that the global player base works towards during the Galactic Front. As the global Victory Points total increases, milestones are unlocked. As stated before troopers can also view this on the Planet's surface as the Federation clears the planet’s fog of war.

After a milestone is unlocked, a new set of Company Operation options will be made available.

These will have new maps, mutations and objectives that map to the current phase of the story or to special events that are advertised currently on our social media and Discord.

If the final milestone is unlocked before the time expires the whole player base is given rewards like cosmetic items, new content, or other exclusive customizations.

In “The New Frontier” Galactic Front, the rewards are a Boreas-themed Visor, Decal and Weapon Skin.


Players can track the whole community's progression through the Galactic Front tab on the main menu. It shows the Intel Companies have collected, the number of Special Operations the Community has completed, and how close the global community is to reaching the next milestone.


If the Federation finishes the final milestone before time runs out, the community has succeeded. The Sky Marshal will debrief and start preparations for the next Galactic Front. At the end of the event, all rewards are given to the entire community (all players with a game account). This distribution may take a few days as we deliver the Spoils of War to all troopers!).

If the final milestone is not achieved before the time runs out the Federation has failed in its objectives. The Sky Marshal will probably have something motivational to say about the matter and the rewards will not be distributed to the Troopers. Perhaps one day, they will be available again in a future Galactic Front…

Once the Galactic Front is over, normal missions will continue, but the special Company Operations will no longer be available.

───

We hope this Federation Dossier has answered some of the key questions troopers have been asking about the Galactic Front and our mission to defeat the Arachnid Menace. At Federation R&D, we want every troop to know that the Federation remains committed to supporting your efforts against the Bugs. Your feedback and field reports are vital to the success of our operations, and together, we will ensure victory!

Additionally, we have a message from Federation Command,

“We are incredibly grateful for the support from troopers on the field and we love hearing the feedback about Starship Troopers: Extermination from both newly enlisted recruits and long-time veterans troopers alike. We want to keep you all updated and let troopers know we are hard at work aiming to deliver the highly requested Company Search feature as soon as we can and continue to work on improving the Quality of Life with our social systems.

We aim to keep all troopers updated on our development, and we want troopers to feel reassured that the Deepspace Vanguard and Starship Troopers: Extermination will remain and that troopers can pick up and join the Federation cause whenever they are ready as we will continue to bring updates, dev blogs, and more to you all so you all can bring the fight to the Bugs!

Thanks, Project Lead Peter Maurice AKA [O] PMO"
