Hotfix Deployed & A Look at What's Next!

[h3]Hello Marauders,[/h3]

Following the crew issues last weekend, we released a Hotfix earlier this week that did not require a client update. This was a server and backend update addressing the server and crew functionality crashing during times of high traffic.

We are happy to announce that after close monitoring, we believe the issue to be resolved!

[h3]What's Next?[/h3]

Going forward… We are now full steam (or diesel!) ahead on the first major update for Early Access. We will be addressing some of the major issues and implementing some of your feedback, including our first new REVOLVER, The Webley. This gun is chambered in .32 acp — we cannot wait to get it in your hands!



Thanks to everyone for jumping in! We cannot wait to get more updates to you in the near future.

See you out there, Space Pirates.

Steam space game Marauders is being dominated by solo players

If you've played any extraction shooter online, then you'll know your odds of surviving are a little bit better if you play in a group. However, Marauders, a new space game, which hit early access on Steam last week, appears to be bucking that trend.


According to stats sent to The Loadout by Team17 and Small Impact Games, 59% of players are heading into raids alone - at least, so far. This means they'll have to defend themselves against other players, including AI-controlled ones, all while trying to loot, kill, and survive.


On the whole though, things are going well. More than 13 million raids have been completed in 12 days so far, meaning more than 45,000 raids have been completed every hour since the early access launch. Not bad when you consider that only two million raids were played during the six day closed beta in July.

[h2]Introducing Gun Insider Vol.4 – The Skorpion vz 61[/h2]

The Czech-produced Skorpion vz.61 is designed as a personal defence weapon, suitable for vehicle crews and artillery men. The compact submachine gun boasts a blitzing fire rate of 850rpm. The gun would tear through your ammunition, hence our choice for a burst fire alternative in-game.

The Skorpian’s compact build makes it easy to conceal and hide – engendering a boundless presence in criminal underworlds. A perfect companion for a pirate navigating in space. The weapon's appealing aesthetic helped it into many hands.

This is the final entry in our first Gun Insider series, but we aim to be back for more in the future!

Thanks for checking them out. See you out there!
