Team17 and Small Impact Games have great news for Marauders fans looking for Excavation update launch date information. The team has announced that the new content update will be released on Tuesday, July 4th. That means plenty of holiday game-time action for eager fans.
Players can get a peek at some of the gorgeous new environments coming with the patch. In addition, developers showcase some of the story and several gameplay features.
Board the Mining Frigate, a breach-only location known for its riches to be found at the bottom of the mine! But be warned, the fight for this loot will be deadly, and you may not make it out alive. The Mining Frigate is not the only location you will want to loot! Return to the Penal Colony to hunt the Warden, our newest Raid Boss. The prisoners locked away their captors in revolt, but now it’s time to release them! But beware, the Warden will not discriminate you from the Prisoners that locked him away.
Features
- Mini Mine/Mining Frigate – Breach only map location.
- Region Select & Matchmaking refactor (solving those cursed long search times!)
- Warden Penal Colony Boss and Unlock-able cosmetic.
- 2 Additional airlocks for Colony Cruiser.
- Jump Gate Spawning (Gates are delayed until later into the match however can be called in any time inside raid locations).
- Slot Machine (Spaceport Bar Area, risk your silver coins for gold!)
- New Healing system (more hardcore).
- Healing Replication (see and hear others healing).
- Bleeding (shotguns and dart weapons cause it the most).
- Zero to Hero re-balance (less missions require specific raids, less context sensitive, navy majors are needed no more for example).
- 15+ New Weapon Attachments.
- Chance of single central POIs. For example, just the Navy Outpost, but still has chances for breaching raids around it.
- Attachments have chance to spawn on Weapons in the Vault.
- Vault Buff.
- ADS movement balancing (lighter weapons allow faster aim walking, larger weapons are slower).
- More Unique Actors/Puzzles/Hidden locations.
- SPP-1 Pistol using the new dart ammo (pistol spawns).
- MAS-44 7.62 Semi Automatic rifle (U.A. Marines and Vault drops).
- Thompson Special (integrated suppressor).
