Starship Troopers: ExterminationCritical Strike

Federation scans have picked up large reserves of Archigeon deep underground after meteor strikes have hit remote areas on both Valaka and Agni Prime. Only the best of the best will be tasked with marching headfirst into bug territory to retrieve it. Troopers will fight separated from their other squads and pave a path through these undocumented areas, pushing through swarms of bugs to claim the Archnigeon for the Federation! Four Squads. Four separate drop zones. One mission: reach the meteorite site, regroup, and rearm. Troopers must stay sharp—this zone is crawling with the biggest bugs the Arachnids have to offer, and they're attacking in full force.

  • Brand-New Bug Spawning System: This system completely replaces our previous spawning setup, offering improved scalability, predictability, and creative flexibility moving forward.
  • Bug Holes: Volatile hotspots emerging across contested planets in the galaxy. These active nests are a growing threat, and it'll be up to you and your squad to locate and neutralize them.
  • M55 Nuke Power Weapon: Players get a new nuclear-level weapon at their disposal – M-55. It should provide them with proper support in erasing bugs from existence. The enemy is evolving, and so must we.
  • Overall Upgrades: Bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
