Extraction shooter Marauders launches new “Plunder” update and offers a FREE weekend

From Press Release:

Thursday, 10th August 2023 – Small Impact Games & Team17 Digital have today announced the fourth free major content update for Steam Early Access shooter Marauders, ‘Plunder’ which deployed this past week. In the new update, players can jump into a brand-new, solos only focused game mode where six other players, disguised as raiders, will begin the match with a basic loadout and need to use their time crucially as they hunt for new loot while keeping an eye on their remaining oxygen.

The new mode also introduces the ability for players to earn XP through PVP kills but also adds a brand-new enemy to the standard mode, ‘The Bandit’, a loot goblin which players will be able to track to common loot stashes within certain raid locations such as the Spaceport, Mining Frigate, Terraformer, and Asteroid Mine.

For a full list of additions and changes in the Plunder update, visit the official developer blog.

Small Impact Games has also revealed an updated road map for Marauders detailing the additions and changes that will arrive for the game before the end of the year.
