Other features are also coming to the closed beta. New weapons like the Heavy Thompson, Scrap Bomb, and Klobb Machine Pistol will be added. An option for quick looting will also be added. Marauders allows players to take the role of a space pirate on the hunt for treasure.  The game lets players steal from other players and take them on in combat in space or on the ground. 

Up to 4 players can team up with each other. Solo play is also an option as the game features combat against the AI in addition to PVP. The game also allows gear to be bought, sold, and crafted. XP can be earned to increase players’ levels, allowing access to better weapons and gear.

Those who have played Marauders previously during its closed alpha have praised it for adding new ideas to the survival genre which features games such as Rust or The Forest. You can see how the game is for yourself when the beta starts next week.
