Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Gameplay Features

Four-Player Co-Op: Squad Combat, Fully Upgraded

The team size for blasting Xenomorphs has increased from three to four players, making team coordination even more critical when facing hordes of aliens. This encourages synergy and strategic class composition. Each class has been completely revamped, offering unique playstyles and tactical abilities, so every squad combination delivers a different combat experience.

The Specialist Class: Free Mix-and-Match

Beyond an expanded weapon and gear customization system, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 introduces the Specialist class. This is a fully customizable role that allows you to freely mix and match primary and secondary abilities from all available classes, creating a playstyle that's truly your own.

Xenomorphs Fully Upgraded: Meaner, Faster, More Lethal

The iconic Xenomorphs are more ferocious than ever before. The game introduces a wide variety of new Xenomorph types, forcing you to keep moving and stay alert at all times. The tide of battle can turn in an instant: one moment you're calmly strategizing, the next you're fighting for your life in a desperate last stand. Whether it's a stun baton for close-quarters melee combat in critical moments, or incendiary and electric rounds to thin out the relentless Xenomorph advance before they overrun you, every weapon could be the key to your squad's survival.

Horde Mode: Fight Your Way Out of the Swarm

Horde Mode is the ultimate test of your squad's limits. The game launches with multiple maps designed specifically for this mode, where you'll face wave after wave of increasingly deadly Xenomorphs and other lethal enemies. The onslaught grows more intense, but the longer you survive, the greater the rewards. There's no retreat here, only the pinnacle of teamwork and individual skill can help you and your squad carve a path to survival through the swarm.

How Alien: Fireteam Elite 2 Expands the Alien Universe
