That deal got better in February when French developers Sirius and L\u00e9onard Lemaitre added a chunk of extra maps, and even better-er in April when they did the same again. Now, barely a month later, they&#8217;ve added another massive update to the game.<\/p>\n<p>The DLC &#038; Maps update adds a total of 37 arenas, 4 new weapons, additional cosmetics, and a few quality of life features. Most of the new maps are for the free, base game. Themes include Valhalla\u2014aerial maps with chequerboard floors and dusky illumination. There&#8217;s also Stadium, where every layout is surrounded by stands and seating, and Cage Fight, which is exactly how it sounds. The most unusually named mas is &#8220;Canliferous fluorspar&#8221;, which may sound like the Latin name for a Venus fly trap, but it is in fact a rather fetching night-time map with Mediterranean-ish architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these maps are remixed versions of vanilla maps added with the update. But it still amounts to more than 20 entirely new arenas to explore. Indeed, only 4 of the 37 maps are reserved for the DLC, including a Pig farm and so called &#8220;Surf Maps&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div class='jwplayer__widthsetter'>\n<div class='jwplayer__wrapper'>\n<div id='futr_botr_xAID0cfd_CVSSVseP_div' class='future__jwplayer'>\n<div id='botr_xAID0cfd_CVSSVseP_div'><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The four new weapons, meanwhile, are a stun mine, a stun grenade, a &#8220;Bayshore&#8221;, and an Aboubi Head, which is a head of the sickly-green, chain-smoking humanoids you play as in Straftat. The addition of stun weapons is particularly enticing to me, as I can imagine how these might facilitate some fiendish ambush play in those Straftat maps with lots of blind corners.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the maps and weapons are several more specific new features. All players get a new racing system in the training ground, letting them indulge in parkour challenges and time attack speedruns. More importantly, though, the map selection menu <em>finally <\/em>has a search bar, which will make creating a custom map playlist a whole lot easier.<\/p>\n<p>DLC owners, meanwhile, gain access to the map from<a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2240530\/BABBDI\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Babbdi<\/a>\u2014the Lemaitre Brothers&#8217; previous game\u2014as a special training area, and also get an optional weapon randomiser for all maps, which is a pretty huge feature given how much replayability it adds. Oh, and there are also a bunch of DLC exclusive cosmetics, including six new jiggly hats and a &#8220;Horrible Smelly Head&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>If that doesn&#8217;t entice you to spend $5 on the DLC, I don&#8217;t know what will. But even if it doesn&#8217;t, there&#8217;s still a huge amount of fun to be had with basic, free Straftat. The Lemaitre Brothers also casually dropped the news of more major updates coming soon, including a 4-player free-for-all mode and 2v2 Team Deathmatch. Some of the new maps already seem designed to accommodate four players, but I&#8217;ve no doubt these features will be bundled in with yet more arenas, too, as these geometry-brained kids simply cannot be stopped from mapping.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"f1b3b8e2-eb8d-4e83-8791-876e3dd0b1f3\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/the-best-fps-of-2024-simply-cannot-stop-adding-new-maps-introducing-37-new-arenas-4-new-weapons-and-a-horrible-smelly-head-in-its-latest-update.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"f1b3b8e2-eb8d-4e83-8791-876e3dd0b1f3\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/the-best-fps-of-2024-simply-cannot-stop-adding-new-maps-introducing-37-new-arenas-4-new-weapons-and-a-horrible-smelly-head-in-its-latest-update\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rarely have I been so instantly enamoured with a game as Straftat, a gleefully chaotic micro-FPS created by two brothers who couldn&#8217;t find a decent deathmatch shooter to play.
