01Overview

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 is a cooperative third-person survival shooter that sends a squad of Colonial Marines into another fight against the Xenomorph threat. Up to four players can form a fireteam and battle through an all-new campaign where Xenomorphs attack from walls, ceilings and dark corridors alongside other hostile enemies. Combat centers on coordinated shooting, class abilities and squad positioning as increasingly aggressive enemies swarm the team. Players can tackle missions alone or join other Marines through online co-op, with cross-platform play allowing squads to form across supported systems. Five classes provide different abilities and battlefield roles, while the Specialist endgame class gives players greater control over how their Marine is built. Weapons can be customized with different fire modes, Augments and Weapon Traits that alter how they perform. An expanded horde mode provides additional combat challenges and rewards outside the campaign, with escalating waves testing how well a squad works together. New and returning enemies also use more aggressive behaviors that require players to adapt their tactics during encounters.
