Starship Troopers: Extermination Hotfix Update (9th April 2026)
Hotfix 1.10.1 is live for Starship Troopers: Extermination, cleaning up a wave of M-11E Babar bugs and rebalancing Operation Stalwart Sanitation.
Hotfix 1.10.1 dropped for Starship Troopers: Extermination on April 9th, and it's a focused bug-fix pass rather than a content drop. The M-11E Babar takes up most of the changelog, which makes sense given how many rough edges the vehicle launched with.
The Babar fixes are extensive. Sky spawns, floor clipping, collision with unbuilt blueprints, friendly fire from Chemical Grenades and fire-over-time effects, broken Holo Trajectory aiming, the vehicle not registering in capture zones. That's a lot of issues for one piece of kit. Credit where it's due, the team has clearly been tracking feedback closely. X-11 also gets Babar support enabled this patch, alongside TAC Fighters, which fills out the map's feature set properly.
Operation Stalwart Sanitation gets a notable rebalance too: corpse requirements jump from 10,000 to 12,500 while the mission timer drops from 20 minutes to 15. That's a tighter, more demanding window and will likely shake up how squads approach the mode. The Scorpion bug's laser damage being higher than intended is also quietly fixed here, which is the kind of thing that quietly warps difficulty without players ever knowing why.
Full patch notes below.
