Version 4.5[]

This version adds several quality of life improvements like a new research UI, bestiary, dynamic FMV intros, more music, base customization, dynamic airstrike and air supply system, projectile bullets instead of hitscan ones, large projectiles now have fire trails, new features for PDU, ability to purchase ammo from weapon terminals, new weapons and new enemies.
Trivia[]
- Episode 4's development was partially stalled because of the 3.5 massive art overhaul and 3.6 updated Polymost support. However, Episode 4 was released in less than 4 years making development time less than the previous episodes. Episode 4's development also has the largest number of devs working on it.
- Episode 4 was originally going to be much longer with story missions continuing after returning to Earth. Episode 5 was originally going to be the last episode but now it is 6.
- For the first patch, an additional FMV was added for the ending because players confused a palette swap for a bug.
- The blue wolf on the lower left of the poster is absent in game. Originally this was part of a mission for Zaxtor but it wasn't completed in time.
