The Babar is currently only available in the game via a randomly appearing mutator, but Offworld says &#8220;new methods&#8221; of earning the mechs will be coming soon.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:2560px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"32xKuzGJtx5GH638wh4Jq7\" name=\"hopes retreat\" alt=\"A player looks at a sign that says \"Welcome to Hopee's Retreat\" depicting a Trooper saluting.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/starship-troopers-exterminations-latest-update-adds-a-big-stompy-mech-ideal-for-squashing-the-shooters-newly-polished-bug-holes.png\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"inline\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Offworld)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Alongside the Babar, the update adds a new weapon\u2014a powerful revolver named the TW-7 Liberator\u2014as well as a new battlefield. This sees players fighting among the ruins of the Federation settlement Hope&#8217;s Retreat. Situated on the planet Valaka, Hope&#8217;s Retreat comes with a new base building zone and various new missions.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for notable additions, but the patch also makes some significant adjustments to how Extermination plays. For starters, it tunes Arachnid bug-holes so that they&#8217;re more vulnerable to collapse from different types of damage, with significant increases for fire and napalm, demolition, and explosives damage types.<\/p>\n<p>Not every change is in the Federation&#8217;s favour. The bugs have evolved their ambush tactics. Now, instead of sending a trickle of arachnids at random players, they will attempt to pick off isolated targets with a sudden, tightly packed wave of bugs. Offword says that ambushes represent &#8220;the start of major steps we are taking to increase the baseline difficulty in a typical match&#8221; and should ensure that &#8220;Troopers are getting pressured in a variety of ways throughout the match.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the update tweaks Tac fighter airstrikes so that they&#8217;re more likely to target big bugs and less likely to accidentally obliterate fellow Troopers, makes various balance tweaks to classes and weapons, and implements the usual array of bugfixes.
