Starship Troopers Ultimate Bug War Beginner Guide – Items

Alright trooper… if you’re running through Ultimate Bug War like a normal soldier, you’re missing half the fun. This game hides some seriously weird (and actually useful) modifiers across missions—and once you start collecting them, the gameplay gets chaotic in the best way.

I’ll walk you through every known secret so far, but in a way that actually makes sense while you’re playing—not just “go left, go right” type stuff.

Training

This is literally the tutorial… and yeah, it already has secrets.

Secret #1 – Obstacle Course Crate

  • Head to the right side of the obstacle course
  • Look for a small nook with a crate

Reward:

  • 1-Hit Death Modifier
    Basically turns the game into hardcore mode. Fun… or painful.

Secret #2 – Tower Jump

  • Go to the left side near the end of the obstacle course
  • Climb/jump onto the tower

Reward:

  • Low Gravity Modifier
    Movement feels floaty—actually useful for dodging.

To Klendata

This mission starts testing whether you actually explore or just rush objectives.

Secret #1 – Hidden Cave

  • After killing the first bugs → climb the hill
  • Stick to the right edge of the map
  • Find a cave and go inside

Reward:

  • “More Meat” modifier (basically extra resource/loot style effect)

Secret #2 – Tunnel Mind Game

  • In tunnels, you’ll find two paths with red flares
  • At one of them → go the opposite direction of the flare

Reward:

  • Fog Modifier
    Changes visibility—can make fights intense.

Day Z

This map has one of the easiest achievements people still miss.

Secret #0 – Laser Rifle (Achievement)

  • In the center of Sierra Outpost
  • On top of a tower

Reward:

  • Laser weapon + achievement (don’t skip this)

Secret #1 – Rooftop Jump Damage

  • Near the pool area where you grab explosives
  • Climb onto a small building roof

Reward:

  • Jump Damage Modifier
    Landing hits enemies—very fun for aggressive play.

Strike and War

Now the game starts trolling you with risky modifiers.

Secret #1 – Left of Power Plant

  • Before entering, check the left side

Reward:

  • Free-for-All Modifier
    Everything turns chaotic—friendly fire vibes.

Secret #2 – Right Side Climb

  • Go right of entrance
  • Climb ladder → jump onto rock

Reward:

  • No First Aid Kits
    Yeah… you lose healing. Choose wisely.

Consequences

This mission has one of the coolest hidden mechanics.

Secret #1 – Stadium “Golden Door”

  • Go to Gate C (right side)
  • Kill the bug that breaks through
  • Inside → find a golden door
  • Walk into it

Reward:

  • “Birthday Mode”
    Confetti instead of blood… weirdly satisfying.

Wake Up the Hive

This one’s all about noticing small details.

Secret #1 – Zipline Route

  • Near the Bridge marker, find a red flare + zipline
  • Take it down
  • Walk forward until you see another zipline above
  • Follow it left into a ruined house

Reward:

  • Hidden modifier (location-based—worth grabbing)

Return to R
