Beginner Guide
Learn how the squad, classes, abilities, weapons, and mission flow fit together before committing to a build. The Beginner Guide prioritizes verified mechanics and marks anything still awaiting current-version testing.
Classes and Builds
Compare Marauder, Duelist, Machinist, Hunter, Medic, and Specialist in the Classes Guide. Specialist is an endgame class that can mix major and minor abilities from available classes; detailed rankings remain test-dependent rather than being presented as launch-day fact.
Weapons and Combat
Use the Weapons Database to connect weapon types, Fire Modes, Augments, Weapon Traits, classes, and tested builds. Damage values and recommendations are versioned so a balance patch cannot silently make an old table look current.
Missions and Horde Mode
The Missions Database will organize objectives, threats, difficulty notes, and squad preparation. The Horde Mode Guide covers the confirmed dedicated maps and escalating waves without inventing wave counts or reward tables.
Choose your class
Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 has five upgraded core classes—Marauder, Duelist, Machinist, Hunter, and Medic—plus the customizable Specialist. Each class page will connect official abilities, perks, weapon access, builds, patch changes, solo testing, co-op roles, and Horde performance.
There is no unsupported S-to-D tier list on the homepage. “Best” depends on mode, patch, difficulty, build, and squad composition. Use All Classes for confirmed information and the future Best Class Guide for a transparent testing method.

Steam, Epic Games Store, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S launched on August 25, 2026. The exact Switch 2 date remains Unconfirmed; read the release-date guide for the platform table.
Is it crossplay?

How this wiki verifies information
Every important claim is labeled as Official, In-game tested, Community reported, or Unconfirmed. Official websites, stores, announcements, patch notes, and game data support core facts. Reproducible tests support mechanics and recommendations; community reports identify issues but do not become universal conclusions.
The wiki does not use competitor pages as evidence, turn forum guesses into facts, or fill missing fields with plausible numbers. Visit verified updates for changes affecting classes, perks, weapons, performance, and existing guides.
