Steam FPS Marauders finally getting this Escape From Tarkov feature
If you're an extraction shooter fan looking for a new game, you might want to re-consider playing Steam space shooter Marauders next. Why? Wel, Team17 has just announced the United Allies update for Marauders - and it's introducing one feature Escape From Tarkov fans will be familiar with. That's right, it's finally getting full proximity chat - just like Battlestate Games' Escape From Tarkov. Let the chaos commence.
In an announcement exclusively shared by NME, developer Small Impact Games has revealed that "a number of community-requested features" will arrive in Maraduers with the United Allies update - which is due to drop on April 25. These include the ability to scavenge salvage in-flight with Wreckage, and the ability to make use of hand grenades.
However, the stand-out announcement here is that Marauders is getting a proximity chat that will "allow players to communicate with fellow raiders". Players have been able to talk with their crew using voice chat prior to this update, but - although we can't confirm this - now it certainly sounds like this feature will be more widespread and similar to what you see in other extraction shooters like Escape From Tarkov and Warzone 2's DMZ.
