The space extraction shooter Marauders got another patch that takes care of the problems of the Red Baron update. All patch notes of the latest Red Baron Patch 01 from Marauders can be found in the following article.
That’s what it’s all about: In December, the developers of Marauders released the Rad Baron update with many new features. The first hotfix patch, which took care of some of the problems caused by the update, was already deployed in mid-December. Another patch was released today, which also mainly fixes existing bugs and adds some small optimizations.

In addition to many fixes for various errors and exploits, the current patch also brings a few changes to the UI, sound and balancing. The Terminator Shotgun in particular has been adjusted, it now does less damage, has less durability and a larger scattering radius. The Liberator’s damage has been increased a bit, and the small med kits heal more with the new patch.
