About This Game
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 throws up to four players into the roles of Colonial Marines, dispatched to the most dangerous corners of the Aliens universe. This is not a rescue mission—it's a fight for survival. Xenomorphs lurk in the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in numbers. Every room could be your last. Work closely with your fireteam, leverage each class's unique abilities, and adapt as situations escalate from tense standoffs to all-out war. With deeper squad cooperation mechanics, smarter enemies, and fully customizable Expert classes, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 delivers the purest Aliens co-op experience.
4-Player Co-op Squad Combat
With squad sizes increased from three to four, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 introduces deeper team mechanics that reward tactical coordination and class combination strategies. Newly designed and improved classes feature distinct gameplay styles and tactical skills, ensuring each squad composition offers a uniquely different combat experience.
Overwhelming Xenomorph Onslaught
Classic Xenomorphs are more ferocious and aggressive than ever. The diverse array of new Xenomorphs in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 forces players to stay mobile, remain aware of the battlefield situation, and utilize every tool at their disposal. In dire straits, you can wield an electric baton for close-quarters combat; or use incendiary and shock ammunition to weaken their relentless advance before you and your squad are overwhelmed by the Xenomorph horde. The tide of battle can shift from a carefully planned tense standoff to a desperate last stand in a matter of seconds.
Expert Class – Customizable Gameplay
In addition to expanded weapon and gear customization, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 introduces the Expert class—a fully customizable class that allows players to freely mix and match primary and secondary skills from all available classes. Tailor your loadout to your unique playstyle and fill any role gaps your squad may need.
Swarm Mode – Survive the Horde
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 launches with multiple Swarm maps specifically designed to push squads to their limits. Fight through wave after wave of Xenomorphs and other deadly enemies, earning greater rewards the longer you survive the onslaught. This is the ultimate test of teamwork and skill.
