The Xenomorphs Have Come For Us in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2

liens: Fireteam Elite 2 expands the fight to four-player co-op, dropping a fireteam of hardened colonial marines into the most dangerous corners of the Aliens universe. What begins as a rescue mission quickly spirals into a desperate fight for survival. Xenomorphs stalk the corridors, ambush from the shadows, and swarm in overwhelming numbers. Pathogen horrors and Weyland-Yutani combat synths add new layers of threat. Coordinate with your fireteam, leverage new and improved character classes, and adapt on the fly as encounters escalate from tense close-quarters combat to all-out horde warfare. With a brand-new fully customizable Specialist class that lets players build their own unique role, deeper squad mechanics, and a wide arsenal of weapons to mix and match across classes, AFE2 raises the bar for co-op Aliens experience.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 offers deep customization, with players able to mix and match weapons, abilities, and classes to suit a wide range of playstyles and build the ultimate colonial marine loadout. With a range of intense combat scenarios and additional challenge modes, every mission delivers a challenging and intense gameplay experience, with new rewards and untold horrors around every corner.

DLC Packs

Ripley's Hive Exterminator Pack includes an exclusive cosmetic outfit themed to Ellen Ripley's appearance near the dramatic climax of 1986's blockbuster masterpiece, Aliens. All player-created characters can wear the outfit, adding a visual homage to one of cinema's most iconic characters. Players can also exclusively wield Ripley's modified pulse rifle, featuring a fiery surprise, and further customize their marine with exclusive decals and more.

Herk Mondo's Pest Pack draws inspiration from the over-the-top comic-book hero. It includes an appropriately wild outfit, perfect for taking on xenomorphic threats – and anything else that gets in the way of the thrill-seeking badass. It also includes an exclusive weapon, Herk Mondo's massive, modified pulse rifle, and a host of decals and other elements to make customizable characters stand apart from the pack.
