Unlocking new content, performance and optimization improvements, and more, Offworld Industries and Knights Peak’s 16-player co-op FPS Starship Troopers: Extermination has released their new 1.9 Update.

Listen up, Troopers. The Bugs have cooked up something new. Fire Bombardiers. These sick creatures don’t just want you dead… they want you burning.

New to Starship Troopers: Extermination is the Fire Bombardier enemy bug. Truly sadistic bugs, they live up to their name by burning victims through a zone of flaming devastation. Do be warned that this bug makes it harder for allies to rescue downed compatriots.

New Ambush Mutators have also made their way to Starship Troopers: Extermination as part of Update 1.9. With the Arachnids possibly developing new tactics, players should keep a keen eye for new scenario modifiers. On that note, players can encounter Royal Guard, Inferno, and Fire Bombardier Ambushes.

On that same note, Roaming Royal Guards may now attack during Horde and ARC/AAS Defense.

One can catch up on all the nitty-gritty around the Starship Troopers: Extermination 1.9 Update via the official patch notes.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is now available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC – one can learn more via its official website.
