A Complete Guide to ST:E

When you battle 6 trillion enemies that will eat you alive, there are only two rules... EVERYONE FIGHTS. NO ONE QUITS.

Thank you for reading!

Starship Troopers: Extermination released to Early Access on May 17th, 2023.

Version 0.3.0 released on June 21st, 2023. The guide was mostly updated as of June 25th, 2023.

Version 0.3.1 released on June 28th, 2023. Updated (fully?) as of July 1st, 2023.

WIP: Stun/Stagger, Grenade Launcher (Chi Hong), Rocket Launcher (Pilum)

Modes

• Advance and Secure (AAS) - In the easiest mode, there will be only one objective at a time for all teams with up to three separate, but nearby, locations per objective.
  
  
• ARC Defense (ARC) - Available at Player Rank 05, this mode requires some amount of coordination across teams to beat Veteran (Hard) relatively smoothly.
  
  Soon after constructing the HQ, you will see the yellow resource/gas node pop up on the map before a variety of objectives, many on timers, become simultaneously available alongside the yellow resource/gas, eventually including two different blue resource/ore nodes, exterminations, resource caches and/or secondary objectives for rocket launchers.
  
  Infestation levels will rise up to 5, with each level becoming more and more intense. The Extermination objectives must be completed to lower the Infestation level by 1 per completion. Exterminations trigger when a Trooper gets within 100m of the marker.
  
  
• Horde (Unreleased) - Fortify defenses against a relentless horde .
  
  (Details coming soon!)

Difficulties and Mutators

The quantity of bugs rises with each difficulty level.

• Recruit (Easy) - 50% Bug Health/Hit Points (HP), 50% Bug damage
  
  
• Trooper (Normal)
  
  
• Veteran (Hard) - 150% Bug HP, 150% Bug damage
  
  
• Hero of the Federation (Unreleased) - Details coming soon! [Probably 200% HP, 200% damage]

Certain Mutators affect Experience Points (XP) (on Victory only?), including all Enemy Mutators to 4 varying degrees: [Coming soon!/Coming Soon!/Coming Soon!/Coming Soon!]

Up to three Mutators will apply on Normal and Hard difficulties. Though sometimes Mutators may not be active, the only difficulty that always avoids Mutators is Easy.

Each difficulty and mode has a different set of Mutators which rotate hourly.

Experience Points (XP)

Name	XP
Drone	1
Warrior	1
Guner	5
Tiger Elite	50
Grenadier	100
Healed Ally or Self	X
Rearmed Ally or Self	X
Revived Ally or Self	X
AAS Mission Complete	250
ARC Mission Complete	500
Trooper Extracted	25
Paid Respects	7
Mutator +XP Reward	1/2/3/4(x50?)

Troopers killed in action (KIA) do not get Extraction XP.

• Paid Respects: Interact with a Trooper corpse.
  
  
• You get XP (experience points) when someone uses your ammo or healing station. Place them near siege-moded (walled-up) Bastions, forward bases, refineries, etc..
  
  
• Because Warriors and Drones are worth 1 XP, it's more XP/hr to leave than to stay and kill them for 2-3 minutes at Extraction time. You also risk losing all Extraction XP and costing every other extracted Trooper 25 XP.
  
  
• You get more spawns at the next higher difficulty level but the amounts of XP per action are equal across difficulty levels.

Bug Hit Points (HP, or Health) and Damage

Name	Easy/Normal/Hard HP [/hero]	Easy/Normal/Hard Damage[/hero]
Drone	1.5/3/4.5[/6+?]	Easy/Normal/Hard Damage[/hero]

Tiger Elite	300/600/900[/1200?]	Easy/Normal/Hard Damage[/hero]
Grenadier	400/800/1200[/1600?]	Easy/Normal/Hard Damage[/hero]

Drones are actually 2-3shot+ [2-5+ if 6+ HP? on Hero] by weaker bullets, dependent on range, on Hard/Veteran difficulty's 150% [and more on Hero of the Federation difficulty,][while at 200% probably on Hero] HP modifier and sometimes with Arachnid or Drone Resilience.

• Range of Maximum Damage is the point at which the damage from one hit begins its fall to the Minimum Damage Amount, progressing lower as range increases. The range at which damage reaches its minimum varies between weapons.
  
  
• A Dry Reload is a reload executed upon encountering an empty weapon/clip, or a weapon requiring reload to shoot it again.
  
  
• A Tactical Reload is a reload executed when the weapon has at least one piece of ammunition left in the clip/chamber, or before it is empty..

Proximity Mine	N/A	.96s	50 @ 15m	250	Within Xm	Up to 8 active, Not Bad

All Grenades have a base cooldown of 90s.

Grenadiers take 2x explosive damage while Tigers take 50%.

Hunters: Use your sticky mini-Nukes aka Hi-Ex Grenades! It's currently inoptimal to use literally any other grenade right now. They do absolutely no, as in 0, Friendly-Fire damage unless you stick it directly to a Trooper.

Nuke the Grenadiers!

The Chem Grenade's damage-over-time effect lasts for a minute and slows down enemies. Bugs will try to go around the Napalm Grenade's area of effect after its initial explosion, but do not avoid the Chem gas.

More to come!

Non-Ex Utilities

Name	Set duration	Duration	Max. Set	Max. Inventory	Range/Speed	Effect
First Aid Stim	1.23s	N/A	N/A	9	1m?	Heals up to 180 HP and/or instantly Revives to full HP

Ammo Fabricator	1.09s	4 charges	4	2	Destroyed in 50 HP	Fills Trooper Ammo
Med Station	1.09s	6 charges	2	1	Destroyed in 50 HP	Heals 180 HP

Utility Satchel allows the Operator to carry one additional Utility item.

Twin MG Turret Emplacement

• Makes an audible sound at 75%, 50% and 25% Ammo Capacity/HP.
  
  
• Minimum 16.95s without repair to require repair, which is 170 rounds fired continuously.
  
  
• Consumes .275 of its 50 HP pool per bullet until breaking at 7% or 3.5HP (not a full tick).
  
  
• Weapon Damage is 12.5/hit (if 100 HP warriors on Normal) doing 125 DPS if all hits at 10 bullets/s. That's (1 2/3 X Hawkeye DPS = TwinMG DPS) now.
  
  
• Damage Dropoff begins at 50m, like the Morita Mk3 SAW.
  
  
• Laser Beam.

Stun and Stagger

Coming soon!

Hunter

Trooper Abilities

Jump Jet (JJ)

10-second cooldown
Short but powerful (if having just jumped) jetpack-assisted jump. Doesn't really work unless you actually jump first. Very nice for getting to spots that Bugs (other than Grenadiers and Gunners) can't get to. Great for falling safely from any height.

It can be canceled as soon as it is fired with an additional button press.

High Intensity Speed Training (HIST)

Passive Ability
Eh, they run fast. Best class option for rocket launchers, especially after Hawkeye nerf.

Utility
Thermo Charge (lv. 3)
Scan Beacons (lv. 9)
Nuclear Detonation Pack (lv. 11)
Shock Beacon (lv. 14)
Ammo Fabricator (lv. 18)

Grenades
MX-90 (lv. 1)
Scan (lv. 6)
Hi-Ex (lv. 12)
Chem (lv. 15)

Perks
Pain Boosters (PB) (lv. 4)
Magazine Bandolier (lv. 7)
Hardened Ceramic Plates (lv. 10)
Extended Magazines (lv. 13)
Utility Satchel (lv. 16)
Bloodlust (lv. 17)

Depending on what your role is on your team or how you are trying to play, the priority will change but Ammo Fab is almost never a bad choice, especially if you are roaming for your party. Scan Beacons are almost always useful, but less so if you have no ammo.

I use PB or Hardened Ceramic Plates with Extended Magazines, typically.

• Operators and Bastions are much harder to kill, but Hunters typically only need to worry about being killed by Gunners.
  
  
• When up high out of reach, try to pick spots where you can duck into cover easily before being nearly instant-sniped by unseen Gunners.
  
  
• The Hunter's best gun is the TW 202-L Morita Hawkeye (lv. 2), a powerful semi-automatic sniper rifle that only Hunters can use.
  
  
• The Mk1 Carbine (lv. 8) does not appear to be worth using at this time for any reason.

Bastion

Trooper Abilities

Heavy Armor

Passive Ability

Provides Bastion with 2x HP, or 180 HP instead of the base 90 HP.

Siege Mode

(SM or Palisade) 30-second cooldown

Bastion in SM takes 25% melee damage and 50% ranged damage.

Knocks back and stuns all Bugs in melee(-ish) range... hard... on activation. Cannot move in Palisade. Bastion becomes a turret that can crouch and ADS. Cooldown must be used to both enter and exit SM. Increases defense and weapon stability dramatically.

The SAW is a laser in Palisade (SM) even if hip-fired standing.

Other players can stand inside the Palisade, though it may not do them any good.

Utility
Proximity Bug Mine (lv. 3)
Shock Beacons (lv. 9)
Thermo Charge (lv. 11)
Heal Beacon (lv. 14)
Nuclear Detonation Pack (lv. 18)

Grenades
MX-90 (lv. 1)
Shock (lv. 6)
Cluster (lv. 12)
Napalm (lv. 15)

Perks
Hardened Ceramic Plates (lv. 4)
Magazine Bandolier (lv. 7)
Synthetic Underamor (lv. 10)
Powered-Up Build Tool (lv. 13)
Utility Satchel (lv. 16)
Extended Magazines (lv. 17)

• Throw your Healing Beacon down wherever you setup to heal your friends when they come hide by you to hope you take aggro from them.
  
  
• Ask teammates to place an Ammo Fab in your reach when you get setup in a position you'll be in for a while, like on Resource missions.
  
  
• Try to save your SMs for when you know you won't need to move for a while. If you need to move while it's on cooldown, you've lost one of your "Oh, sh*t!" buttons, or maybe your only one.
  
  
• The Morita MK3 SAW (lv. 2) is god-tier in SM (Palisade) now at up to 60m or so, but still below the Twin MG, Hawkeye, Pilum Rocket Launcher and (probably) Chi-Hong Grenade Launcher in DPS.
  
  
• The Morita Mk1 Carbine (lv. 8) is not currently worth using, in my opinion.
  
  
• Siege Mode-ing next to or on various model collision (both built into the map and player-built objects) can result in enemies being unable to hit you.

Operator

Trooper Abilities

Medical UAV (MUAV)

4-minute cooldown
The Medi drone is easily the most powerful ability in the game. Do not use it on cooldown. The instant AoE effects are too powerful to waste unless you know you won't need them:

When the MUAV ability is activated, it will begin to revive all Bleeding Out Troopers and fully heal all other Troopers lacking health within a maximum of a 70m horizontal radius. It has infinite verticality.

It is active for just half (2m) the duration of the cooldown or until it revives 3 times (after initial activation/cast) first.

It heals 30 (1/3) HP within a 10m radius every 15 seconds.

It checks for someone to revive every second within a 6m radius once deployed.

MUAVs can be spotted in clusters when reviving Troopers. It appears likely the additional revives are going to waste.

Canister Slot

Passive Ability
Allows you to carry an additional resource canister in your backpack. Operators can run full speed while carrying canisters.

Utility
First Aid Stim (lv. 1)
Ammo Fabricator (lv. 3)
Medical Station (lv. 11)
Scan Beacons (lv. 14)
Heal Beacon (lv. 9)
Nuclear Detonation Pack (lv. 18)

Grenades
MX-90 (lv. 1)
Chem (lv. 6)
Napalm (lv. 12)
Shock Grenade (lv. 15)

Perks
Improved Grenade Cooldown (lv. 4)
Magazine Bandolier (lv. 7)
Pain Boosters (lv. 10)
Synthetic Underarmor (lv. 13)
Utility Satchel (lv. 16)
Bloodlust (lv. 17)

• There are currently no lv. 19 or lv. 20 unlocks for the Operator.
  
  
• The instant revive from the First Aid Stim is very powerful when the Medi UAV is slow, elsewhere or down. The heal ain't bad, either, but the revive also revives people with full HP.
  
  
• Switch weapons to put a canister in your open backpack slot or to drop a handheld canister when backpack is full.
  
  
• The Heal Beacon is a relatively powerful "Oh, sh*t!" button when used for several players, especially if lacking in Operators, but Op drones will usually keep everyone up along with Bastion Heal Beacons. Both Scan and Shock beacons are more useful and far more often for the Operator, in my opinion.
  
  
• Ops typically do best with the C-32 Chi-Hong Grenade Launcher (lv. 2). The Morita MK1 Carbine (lv. 8) is another, but much worse, option.
  
  
• Operators are the only Trooper class to start with a Utility item.

Valaka Central Garrison Map by DragonWalkerDEW

*NOT YET UPDATED WITH FUEL DEPOT FROM 0.3.0 UPDATE*

Originally posted by DragonWalkerDEW on Joint Space Force Discord/ST:E Official Discord:

[Green - Build Areas]
[Starport is different due to it's Tunnel System needing to be mapped out. Most are in general areas.]

[Blue - Areas and Entrances/Exits]
[Boxed Arrows - Other areas not on map. I.E the Fuel Depot.]
[Blue Double Arrows - Paved or otherwise Man-Made entrances to the Central Garrison. As such, these are identifiable and can be used as a landmark.]

[Orange - Landmarks]
[Dotted Boxes - General Location with name inside.]
[Quoted Words - Alternative 'Nickname' that also gets the point across in most lobbies/matches.]

[Red Arrows - General Bug Pathing.]
[Arrows with Red Outlines - Bug Spawns & Entry Points and General Attack Direction. Admittedly the hardest part of this whole map to figure out, but also the most help for builders.]
[Green Interior - Light Traffic, around 4 - 40 bugs go through here, it varies. Final Defense included.]
[Orange Interior - Medium Traffic, Bug's will usually use this path, expect around 150 - 350 bugs in a single match using this path. Final Defense included.]
[Red Interior - High Traffic, Bug's will ALWAYS use this path, expect around 400+ bugs in a single match using this path, and lots of bugs at one time. Final Defense included.]
[Red-Orange Arrows - These two paths will usually work together in some way, usually two lanes focusing on one wall at two sides. Usually they are more dangerous when working together due to that. If you see bugs on one of these, check the other too.]
[Red Dashed Arrows - Usual Bug Pathing. Usually straightforward, but some are marked down for unique behaviors, ultimately depending on where the ARC lands, or where the landmark is. I.E sometimes the bugs can spawn in the hangar instead of next to it.]
[Green Dashed Arrows - Unique to Starport, the ARC can spawn on either side of the build zone. Each spawn area is highlighted.]
[Pink Dotted Arrows - Bugs from one Spawn point can assist another occasionally in unique ways.]
[I.E the dotted line at Comms meaning they can take the North path if either the ARC lands on the North side of Comms, or if there are players there.]

Building

Name	HP	Repair Time (solo, no PUBT)	Ore Cost
Twin MG Turret	50	2s	4000
Sentry Turret	100	4s	4000
Electric Fences	50	2s	4000
Bunkers	400	16s	1500
Large Gates	250	10s	500
Tower	75	6s	200
Small Gates	75	3s	250
Walls/Ramp Walls	100	4s	200
Short Walls	50	2s	50
Mobile HQ	200	8s	N/A
ARC	400	16s	N/A
Refinery/Generator	130	5.2s	N/A

Repair Time is the highest possible uninterrupted repair duration, as in a solo Trooper repairing without Powered-Up Build Tool.

The Powered-Up Build Tool Perk will halve Bastion construction/deconstruction times.

The collision has gone missing from the walls of the Towers and Troopers may now shoot and walk through them.

Warning: Much subjective opinion follows!

Do bugs even target the Ammo/Utility caches? I will have to test more, if so. If they don't, they could be better implemented into build strategy, although that might be cheesy.

• Deconstructing is currently 1/10th speed of constructing.
  
  
• Bunkers should be at high visibility corners and important choke points in the Base, perhaps surrounding the ARC.
  
  Both Bunkers and Sentry Guns should have maximum visibility but not necessarily at the cost of building to the extent of the perimeter. You don't typically want to place walls at the front side nor in front of bunkers. At the middle, back is good. Short walls are fine in front for extra layers. If outer walls are only there to delay the rush, sure, however I feel like materials and time are better spent building layers we can defend.
  
  
• Place Sentry Guns on the top/middle of your Bunkers if you are worried about durability. Visibility is much worse inside bunkers than on top, however, and Sentry Guns will shoot through you to shoot Bugs if you are in their line of fire. Sentry Guns also will have more limited visibility in the center of bunkers. Sentry Guns will not shoot through Electric Fences.
  
  Bunkers take a lot of damage. They provide both the best durability and visibility, assuming your Gates and Walls are not blocking large portions of enemy positions from the Bunkers.
  
  
• Set Short Walls along the sides of the Bunkers for visibility from the Bunkers, Gates along the back end of the Bunkers, leaving your Ramp Walls and other Walls as a second layer behind.
  
  Layers are almost entirely unnecessary on Easy mode unless almost the entire team is away from keyboard (AFK).
  
  
• Gates are easier to go back and forth through when falling back for ammo, etc.
  
  
• Your built Electric Fences should almost 100% of the time be used around the ARC.
  
  Electric fences placed around the ARC will significantly delay any ARC damage occurring during or after a breach. Electric fences on the perimeter may delay a breach if able to funnel enemies into them, but you can't typically cover the perimeter in them. If you know your group, it's probably much safer to deploy them along the built base's perimeter. Most pick-up groups (PUGs) are going to have breaches and the electric fences aren't going to prevent that.
  
  There are plenty of breaches in pre-made parties, as well.
  
  There are many times where you only need 1 or 2 electric fences around the ARC or would want to have them. If you have bunkers in good visibility spots with sentry guns near them, as long as your base isn't built to the extent of the perimeter, rotations and repairs to prevent breaches/defend once breached are going to happen quite quickly.
  
  Furthermore, it can take as little as 1 person to hold the ARC on hard mode with ammo and electric fences. It's easy to kill things as they come in, repair and repeat.
  
  
• Similarly, Shock Beacons (pylons) can be dropped in front of your outside defenses. Many choke points can be blocked using just 2 at a time.
  
  
• Spread the 4 ammo & utility boxes out to where you are defending instead of all in the center, please.
  
  I believe some choose to put them where short walls might otherwise be because they can't be destroyed completely by bugs. Not 100% sure. They are more durable than short walls, at least.

ARC Strategy

Maybe some mutator combos would make it.more interesting but sadly ARC is ruined post patch until they fix something. AAS is a lot of fun now. Maybe that is mutator dependent, however.

Send Hunters ahead to build Mobile Headquarters (HQ) quickly and save time.

Keep your last gas turn-in waiting until everyone is ready to defend the ARC unless you are against another timer/level of infestation and need to rush it. More details on this soon.

More Tips, Tricks & Information

• Friendly Fire appears to be 5-10% of damage.
  
  
• There are currently no lv. 19 nor 20 unlocks for any class.
  
  
• You can spawn Bugs in the Tutorial zone for testing. The activator is between the boxes on the ground where you spawn.
  
  
• Troopers cannot redeploy while Bleeding Out, which takes 20 seconds before death.
  
  
• Reloads take some very short amount of time after click to take effect. It's easy to interrupt your reload.
  
  
• Grenade throws can be interrupted.
  
  
• Both the ARC and Mobile HQ can be repaired, if you missed the building section.
  
  
• Team voice chat (Default "T" if keyboard) goes to every team across the entire map. Local is relatively close range to the Trooper speaking.
  
  
• Your voice is muted while bleeding out in both Local and Team voice chat channels.
  
  
• Redeploying to base instead of running can save a lot of time. You will lose your rocket launcher(s) if you die, however.
  
  
• There is a UI glitch after Redeploy where the User Interface displays grenade on permanent CD and no utility. These aren't true. You will see the charges of utility after switching to it.
  
  
• You can also use Redeploy to grab aggro, run away and come back to base quickly.
  
  
• Fall safely from up to 25m with jetpack or 17m without assuming Low Gravity is not active.
  
  
• Shoot through much of the walls of the ship. Probably other things too. Scan beacons and scan grenades become very powerful when used this way.
  
  
• Stagger jump distance scales with hit distance from enemy.

The Lore

Future Update Plans from the Dev

• There are currently no weak spots on Bugs although Offworld Industries plans to implement them.
  
  
• There are no current plans to reset progression at any point and the devs believe this scenario to be unlikely.

Can you run the numbers on Melee weapons from the basic knife to scenario mutator melee weapons as well? and Thank you for this i like to see numbers when strategizing and youve filled in many blanks ive had.

How much damage does the knife do? When it's just one warrior I like hitting it with an emancipator round to stun then getting a few free knife attacks in but I don't really know how much damage it's doing.

Also when running backwards using the saw to stun, then quickly knife before resuming fire, seems to work, for whatever that's worth.

Thank you @ Calibre!

@kampfer91 That depends almost exclusively on your party, but also on the Mutators.

Elec fence is wasted around the ARC .

It was at or exactly 6.25 but they also upped the Bug HP 33% to 200% of Normal in 0.3.0

[LeCruel]

What was the damage point per hit of the SAW before the patch?

[sentientCode]

Updated to 0.3.0 for the most part!

They are asking if anyone can translate the guide to Chinese, I believe.
