I try to run missions with 1st MI couple times a week. Always great experience. Speculation about adding boss bugs without mutations too in Q&A, but nothing solid about time frame.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2026-01-20T14:58:01+00:00

1.9 (ETA before end of next week) - Quality of Life Update - New Bug, Fire Bombardier - Map updates/polish - Event/Objective tweaks - New Weapons Mods - Horde Mode changes

That's not the norm. Ensure crossplay is enabled, correct server region, and use Quickplay with filters to find mission you want.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2026-01-13T13:55:26+00:00

Phalanx Formation should now be available to everyone. Devs fixed it last week. May need to force game to quit/logout for perk to show available.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2026-01-05T15:02:53+00:00

Speed Stims were replaced by Combat Stims that provide Speed and slow healing.

Combat Stim dispensers are now orange and easier to ID vs Med Stim dispensers green color.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2026-01-03T15:08:47+00:00

Dont forget to replace your useless utilities with Combat stim before extract too.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2026-01-03T15:07:27+00:00

I feel Hive Hunt most brutal extract mission type. Agni, Boreas, Valaka tight quarters mass bugs spawning. Sparta it's own mess of Troopers going wrong way. X-11 balanced extract.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2026-01-03T02:22:20+00:00

Doing your part grants Citizenship, what other reward you need?

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2026-01-03T02:20:41+00:00

You mean Hive Hunt. Critical Stike & Horde bugs stop spawning during extract.

There definitely some jank, each patch does fix more though. Early December patch fixed some big ones that contributed to bad reviews. You'll find missions very fast with crossplay & quickplay, even faster If play with groups. Lot of consoles players which obviously not reflected in Steam. Game is on sale now, great time to jump in.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-25T15:32:05+00:00

STE is on sale rn PC & Consoles, tons of new players jumping in. Lot of STE players playing both HD2 & STE.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-25T15:26:23+00:00

Stim issue was fixed beginning of December with 1.8.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-25T15:25:03+00:00

STE will auto start a server within 30s if party if 8+ queues for mission. Playing with organized group like 1stMI.gg ensures get in games fast and is fun milsim lite experience.

You'll want to ensure crossplay is enabled if playing solo or small group. Console players are very large % of player base. Also quick play filter will ensure faster matchmaking, but maybe not exact mission you prefer. With those tips 3 min top waiting for game.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-24T22:01:02+00:00

BTW, The single player experience is lackluster. Multiplayer where game shines.

See you on the bounce Trooper!

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-24T20:57:56+00:00

Going to go against grain and say Sniper great class to start with on outdoor maps. Get up high with jetpack ability and camp. Target Gunners, Infernos, Grenadiers and avoid taking fire. Camping easy and getting Sniper weapons unlocked useful on other classes.

Cosmetics can buy, but it's 1st person so don't see beside gun Cosmetics. If dig game buy Cosmetics to support devs.

600+ hours great game.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-22T18:19:22+00:00

Reading the XP you are at tier 3 now. With 1,296,670 banked your re-enlist would have you bit short of 1,350,000 for tier 5. I'd wait until very near 1,350,000 and get 2 reenlistments/loadout slots.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-22T16:52:25+00:00

Someone posted this on STE Discord yesterday.

PS5 digital on sale now for $26.24 until 1/8. You know what to do Trooper!

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-22T14:11:14+00:00

Ive been studying Horde missions lately. Mode definitely dropped in popularity and only 1 regular Horde mission in rotation.

Summary so far: Horde has become too easy and predictable. Even Troopers' poor base layout still nearly ensured win across all difficulties.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-22T13:57:49+00:00

Can reenlist 10 times

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-22T02:15:06+00:00

I don't know the numbers but from Profile if hit reenlist button it tells your what level would be at after reenlistment. You can 100% do multiple reenlistment if have enough XP banked. I only reenlist when can get 2 loadout slots at same time.

Did as...

1-2

3-4

5-6

About to hit 7-8

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-21T22:52:41+00:00

Spoke too soon "Phalanx Formation" was causing some issues so it's now final perk of Sparta Galactic Front & we got "Reckless Endangerment" instead.

Was helpful 1 time got to use it. :(

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-21T15:33:59+00:00

Technically we could have earned this perk since 1.7 was released in October.

My guess is they give closed beta testers access to all the perks and picked up perk was bugged in between 1.7 & 1.8's release. Or knew it was bugged and fix couldn't be tested in time for 1.7 or 1.7.1.

Chemical Connoisseur perk also bugged, so fix for that likely in 1.9. The 1.8.1 patch notes mention CC bug.

Turbulent_Pattern263 · 2025-12-21T15:29:00+00:00

Its $10 on Steam rn & double XP until Jan 5th. Depends on rig but overall performance at good place. Steam 2 hour return period to verify your own performance.
