Team17 Digital and Small Impact Games have announced the third free major content update to Steam Early Access shooter Marauders. Deploying on 4th July, ‘Excavation’ introduces a brand-new raid set in an industrial mining vessel constructed to capture passing asteroids and extract their valuable resources. Players will be able to trade blows and bullets around its hulking steel innards, then descend its depths to pillage new gear from a labyrinthine system of caves built within a hollowed-out asteroid.
Marauders’ Excavation update also introduces a brand-new boss to the game, ‘The Warden’, a formidable foe who can be found within a locked safe room in the game’s Penal Colony raid. Protected by personal guards and armed with lootable gear including the Jackhammer shotgun, heavy shields, and The Warden Riot Helmet – the highest tier armour in the game thus far – the Warden is a ruthless adversary requiring players to use all their precision and cunning to take down.
Marauders is currently 20% off on Steam until 13th July.
