This patch is a collection of general bug fixes. If you'd like to discuss Update 1.8.1 with your fellow troopers, please feel free to join the Starship Troopers: Extermination Community Discord!

Sparta

As the battle to retake the Sparta continues, reminders of our sacrifices stain her corridors. We must never forget the untold debt our troopers have paid for every valuable inch of ground.

• New set dressing in all Sparta maps. Enjoy scenic signs of battle, tour the bloodstained cafeterias, and pay homage to our brave Trooper’s final resting places.

Lure Grenades & Nuclear Det Pack

Federation intelligence confirms that Tankers are also considered a “larger Arachnid form” too and have also gained the uncanny ability to discern the difference between food, and holograms of food.

• Tanker bugs are now less likely to target Lure Grenades & Nuclear Det Packs (previously this change only affect Scorpions).

UI

• Fixed an issue where Progression Unlock Viewer could incorrectly show a grayscale or monotone Icon instead of displaying the correct full-color icons for Company Emblem Unlocks, Class Perks, and Weapon Modifications.
• Improved the “Increase Member Capacity” Icon for the Company Unlocks.

Gameplay & General Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Scan Pulse wasn’t correctly granting XP per bug scanned.

Known Issues

• Players may spawn in the wrong location in SOG Mission 30. Restarting mission will spawn you back at the ship.
• Chemical Connoisseur Galactic Perk showing wrong amount in the UI tooltip; it should only grant +2 Max Stim Carry Capacity.

Double XP Winter

The Federation has enabled DOUBLE XP until January 5, 2026. Go re-enlist for the Federation troopers!As always, please provide any feedback here on discord or by giving us a review on Steam! It greatly helps out our development team as we continue to go through the feedback provided.

Thank you troopers! Get rid of those bugs!
