Released only a couple months after the previous update 1.3, Patch 1.4 delivers a focused set of additions and refinements that build on the game’s strengths. With new tools for player expression, expanded customization options, and smarter enemy behavior, the update continues Offworld Industries’ steady rollout of meaningful improvements driven by community feedback.
KEY FEATURES
- Fednet Heroism Feature – Troopers can now equip FedNet cameras to document heroism on the battlefield, increasing unit morale and XP gains. Capture the action, earn rewards, and turn every mission into a propaganda masterpiece!!!
- Underbarrel Attachment for Morita MK1 – Troopers who’ve reached Weapon Mastery level 6 or higher with the Morita MK1—the primary assault rifle from the films—can now equip an underbarrel attachment through the loadout menu. Warning: additional weight shifts the rifle’s balance forward, slightly reducing accuracy while moving and shooting.
- Improved Bug Pathing – Bugs will navigate more effectively and get stuck less often in the environment.
- General Gameplay Enhancements – A range of quality-of-life improvements and balancing tweaks designed to refine core mechanics and elevate the overall tactical experience on the battlefield.
For the full list of changes in the patch notes.
Looking ahead, Offworld has confirmed that Patch 1.5 is already in the works, with one major change being the expansion of Hive Hunt to a 16-player-only mode—an adjustment driven by community feedback. More features are on the way, so players should stay tuned as the next phase of the Federation’s war effort approaches, and as always—service guarantees citizenship!
My Thoughts
I’m always glad to see new updates for Starship Troopers: Extermination—they’re proof that the developers are sticking to their word and continuing to evolve the game post-launch. That said, I’d love to see more attention given to the single-player story content. I’m not much of a multiplayer guy, but what drew me in (aside from it being based on an awesome ’90s movie) was the promise of a single-player campaign featuring Casper Van Dien reprising his role as Johnny Rico. So far, that mode feels underutilized, and I’m chomping at the bit to see where the story goes. As I mentioned in my review, it’s a perfect opportunity to inject more of the franchise’s signature humor and propaganda—elements that are sorely missing from the current multiplayer-centric experience.
