Version 1.8: Death From Above

This update introduces the new Company Progression system, a fresh Critical Strike map, and Air Strikes – a brand-new side objective for ARC and AAS missions.

Brand-New Company Progression: Update 1.8 introduces a new Company Progression system with over 50 tiers, unlocking unique emblems, frames, and additional Company slots. Intel's earnings after each match contribute to the Company's growth, allowing for distinctive customization on the Leaderboards.
New Critical Strike Map: Boreas – Prepare for a new Critical Strike map set in the frozen wastelands of Boreas. Bundle up, Troopers… It's going to get cold out there.
New Side Objective: Air Strikes – Troopers will need to defend Fleet Relays out in the field to call in TAC Fighters for devastating bombing runs on the Bug hordes. The more Bugs you obliterate, the closer the Federation is to winning the war. Keep your eyes peeled for the 'TAC Fighter Support' and 'Fleet Relay' Mutators on Valaka, Agni Prime, and Boreas missions.
Bug fixes and quality of life improvements.

Starship Troopers: Extermination

Starship Troopers: Extermination is a pulse-pounding co-op first-person shooter. Join the Deep Space Vanguard, an elite Special Forces branch of the Mobile Infantry, in the fight against the Bug menace and claim victory for humanity! Your trusty Morita Assault Rifle, support tools, and fellow Vanguard Troopers are all that will keep you alive while exploring the hostile surface of these ugly planets, these… Bug planets. Retake and rebuild bases, construct refineries, and complete a variety of other side objectives to wrest control of the planet away from the Bug menace. Massive, detailed maps with several unique zones add to the incredible replayability, and swarm-based combat with hundreds of enemy Bugs on screen delivers the sense of taking part in an overwhelming planetary struggle!
