About Starship Troopers: Extermination
Starship Troopers: Extermination is a 16‑player co‑op first‑person shooter that pits squads against an Arachnid infestation across sprawling planetary battlefields. Players arm themselves with weapons like the Morita Assault Rifle and fight to reclaim strategic bases. The Sky Marshal Edition bundles the base game with all year‑one DLC, adding cosmetic packs and extra content while preserving the core experience of base building, class‑based combat, and a dynamic environment that shifts with weather and time of day.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Gameplay
Matches support up to sixteen players who coordinate to defend objectives, gather resources, and construct fortifications in real time.
Team communication is aided by a refined ping system, allowing quick placement of markers for building sites or enemy locations.
- Use the ping to highlight resource nodes before constructing.
- Assign roles early to maximize each class’s contribution.
02 / THE GUIDE
Class System
Six distinct classes—Ranger, Sniper, Demolisher, Guardian, Engineer, and Medic—offer unique weapons, abilities, and progression paths.
Choosing a class aligns with preferred playstyle, whether it’s rapid jet‑pack movement, long‑range recon, explosive demolition, fortified defense, construction logistics, or battlefield healing.
- Experiment with each class in short matches to discover preferred role.
- Pair a Medic with a Guardian for sustained frontline endurance.
03 / THE GUIDE
Base Building
Players employ building tools and a refined ping system to erect walls, towers, and ammo stations directly on the battlefield.
Structures can be repaired faster by Engineers, and strategic placement helps defend against waves while securing resource extraction points.
- Place ammo stations near choke points for easy resupply.
- Use Engineers to prioritize repairing walls under heavy fire.
04 / THE GUIDE
Carnage System
Defeated bugs remain as corpses that pile up, forming persistent terrain that can be climbed, blocked, or cleared.
These piles may create ramps for allies or staircases for enemies, so managing them with explosives can shape the battlefield.
- Clear large corpse stacks near entry points to prevent enemy ascent.
- Use the piles as temporary cover when under fire.
05 / THE GUIDE
Dynamic Environment
Each map features unique hazards such as Valaka’s sandstorms or Agni Prime’s volcanic eruptions, influencing visibility and movement.
A time‑of‑day and weather system further alters conditions, offering both advantages and challenges for tactical decisions critical.
- Plan assaults during clear weather for better line of sight.
- Utilize sandstorms to mask approaches when defending objectives.
