Announcing Update 0.4.0: Relentless Hordes
Fri, 28 July 2023



Update 0.4.0 is dropping on Wednesday, August 2!

Attention, Deep Space Vanguard! Terran Command has informed us that Arachnids are closing in on our Mobile Headquarters - a lot of them. We expect them to reach their target on Wednesday, August 2 at 10:00 AM PT (GMT-7) with the release of Update 0.4.0: Relentless Hordes. This will be Starship Troopers: Extermination’s second medium deployment, which introduces Horde Mode and Player Profiles with stat tracking. The game’s price on Steam will also be increasing on August 2 from $24.99 USD to $29.99 USD.

Horde Mode will unlock for players at Career Rank 2. In this 16-player mode, Troopers must defend the Mobile Headquarters (MHQ) in the build zone against 10 increasingly difficult waves of Arachnids. Each wave has a Build Phase and a Defense Phase. During the Build Phase, Troopers will have a short amount of time to build and repair base defenses using a limited amount of ore. The MHQ itself can only be repaired with special repair canisters obtained from completing secondary objectives during the match. During the Defend Phase, Troopers must fight off Bugs that spawn in escalating numbers and difficulty. Build Tools cannot be used and Troopers cannot respawn during this phase - if Troopers are downed while Bugs are present, they will need to be revived by their teammates. If the MHQ is destroyed or all Troopers are killed, the match ends in defeat. However, if the MHQ is still standing at the end of 10 waves, a dropship will be deployed to extract any surviving Troopers!

Troopers are to be on the lookout for upcoming transmissions that will share more details as the release of Update 0.4.0: Relentless Hordes approaches.

Pyre out.

Mission Briefing: Relentless Hordes (Update 0.4.0
Mon, 31 July 2023)



Get briefed on Starship Troopers: Extermination's upcoming Update 0.4.0: Relentless Hordes.

Stow the scuttlebutt, Troopers - we’re receiving it over the comms too. All squads not on deployment, patch in to rescue net frequency now.


“--I say again, mayday mayday mayday! This is Deep Space Vanguard mobile headquarters, Valakan starport district, broadcasting a general distress signal to all units in the vicinity.”

“The bugs got sarge! Sarge is GONE, man! HE’S GONE!”

“Dispatch dropships to our position immediately, our defenses can’t take another assault. Our CO is KIA and--”

“WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE! DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND!?”

“Trooper! Remove yourself from my communications tent and get back to repair duty! …wait, do you hear rumbling?”

“Oh no… not again… NOT AGAIN!”

--*Arachnids shrieking and humans screaming, then only shrieking*


Well, you heard it CFB: our mobile headquarters is in need of rescue. This one’s coming in hot - Military Intelligence is still pulling down data from the starport’s uplink but here is what you and your squads need to know now. Arachnid presence in that district is in flux: seems the Bugs are flooding in groups towards this location. You’ll be dropping in at the MHQ front porch, after which you should have a brief window to assemble rudimentary defenses. We’ll provide what ore we can to your team between firefights.

Redeployment will be a no-go until all active threats are neutralized. If you’re downed while bugs are present, better hope your battle buddies remember their Operator training, can run in for a clutch revive, or first aid stim jab.

Speaking of patching things up, the apes who built this place set up repair canister generators nearby. Bad news, they’re all offline and will need to be reactivated. You’ll want to take this on as a secondary objective, ideally before the MHQ falls.

*bzzt!*

And there goes the comms dish. Bugs’ plasma artillery must have finally taken it out. Go-time is now: defend the MHQ, keep your Troopers standing, and fight back the Arachnid horde. Be quick about it, Brimstone-1: tangos entering visual range in minutes. Looks to be a Drone detachment but ground radar shows that’s just the start of the party.

Pyre out.

Starship Troopers: Terran Command - Raising Hell DLC unleashed
17 Aug 2023



Attention, citizens of the Federation!

Strap in and lock 'n' load as Starship Trooper: Terran Command drops the bombshell you've been waiting for - the "Raising Hell" DLC is coming in hot! Brace yourselves for an infernal battleground on the godforsaken world of Gehenna, where molten lava, volcanic eruptions, and hordes of savage Arachnids conspire to test your mettle!

Raise Hell with new missions. Far above the surface of Gehenna lies the majestic Vilon Station, a vital space hub where colossal freighters feed its unyielding thirst for fuel. But with the Bug War on the rise, mercenary defenses can't cut it anymore. That's where the Mobile Infantry charges in - and that means you, citizen!

Deploy advanced firepower. When it's Bug hunting season, you need the best tools for the job! Take command of the Engineering Biped, improvising frontline defense with a drilling arm that'll turn Arachnids into cosmic dust. Firefighters stand ready to extinguish the flames of war, wielding portable extinguishers that even put raging Arachnids in their place. And we're not done yet - Frag Mercs' frags pack a punch, and Shredder Mercs are armed with portable miniguns that'll perforate Bugs like paper.

Beware evolved Arachnids. Gehenna's inferno has bred Bugs of unimaginable terror. Stingers swarm with heated vengeance, while Immolators burst in a fiery finale when you poke 'em enough. Watch your six for Pyroflies, impervious to standard rifle fire, and Bomberbees - dive bombers out to bring Bug booms!

Mark your calendars. Starship Trooper: Terran Command - Raising Hell is on the horizon, ready to land by the end of the year.

Service guarantees citizenship, and this is your chance to shine in the Mobile Infantry's ranks.
