A major Marauders update will be released in December, which will add a new multi-stage boss, the Red Baron, to the sci-fi dieselpunk game, the developers have confirmed. The Red Baron update adds a boss, a High Space Pirate, who must be defeated in ship-to-ship combat, then boarded and fought in close combat.
Red Baron is an elite dogfighting ace from the Central Marauder Empire faction, and to defeat him you will need mastery of both aircraft and firearms. The Baron patrols space in a new ship called the Strike Frigate. It can be looted, but to gain access you'll have to disable the ship first - developer Small Impact Games says that if you try to force your way in too early, it'll just knock over your pods.
Baron's strike frigate is a completely new environment for the Marauders - dark and eerie, lit only by dim red emergency lighting. Small Impact claims that once you're on board, the Baron will behave according to custom logic - he won't run around making noise, instead he'll lie around waiting and try to lure players into an ambush.
While there are no plans to create an NPC team for the baron, you will have to keep an eye on other players - all the space pirates in the area will come running as soon as they realize that the baron's ship is disabled.
Whoever survives will be able to capture the strike frigate and take the rare loot that the baron will drop - this could be a special weapon or his blast armor (which will prevent him from dying in ship-to-ship combat).
Small Impact Games reports that The Red Baron update will be released sometime in December, and to be aware of when the patch is released, follow social networks of "Marauders". If you have already played Marauders, be aware that this update will entail a wipe.
