Marauders: Red Baron Market Trader Bug Finally Fixed in Patch 001

Marauders, the game where you play as a space pirate, has received a new update that finally fixes the market trader bug.

For those who do not know, the Market in Marauders is a feature introduced in the Red Baron Update that allows you to obtain pieces of gear by trading in some items. It’s supposed to reset every 24 hours where items on offer will change, but it has not done so since the New Year.

If you are frustrated about it, you are not alone. Some Marauders players have voiced their frustrations about this issue.

The good news is that Small Impact Games have finally resolved the annoying market trader bug in the recently released Patch 001.

In addition, Patch 001 made changes to certain shotguns in the game. The Terminator and the Trench Gun, for example, had their bullet spread increased to make them more in line with other shotguns. This means that you can no longer use them effectively from afar. Besides that, the Liberator has its damage increased from 15x8 to 16x8.
