Alien Day 2024 UpdateApr 26, 2024 - Community AnnouncementsHappy Alien Day, Colonial Marines. The original Alien film takes place on the moon Acheron, or LV-426. So every 4/26 we get to celebrate the movie that started it all, and the incredible Alien fans. In celebration of Alien Day, we’re dropping a new quality-of-life update for Aliens: Fireteam Elite that makes two really exciting changes to the game. Firstly, we know that a lot of our players have been frustrated with the in-game currency cap of 50,000 credits. With this patch, we’re doubling the cap to 100K so you can safely hoard and collect even more credits than before! Secondly, we know how much you love using challenge cards - and how much fun and replayability they add to each mission. We also know, though, that losing challenge cards when a mission is failed or a host drops out is frustrating. Plus, the grind to get enough currency to unlock more can be a hassle. That’s why, with this update, challenge card packs in SSGT Park’s shop are now FREE! That’s all for now - happy Alien Day marines!

Ruptured Cistern We know you’ve been busy thinning the hordes of Xenomorphs in the Cistern, Marines. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed! If you got the limited rewards, you’ve earned ‘em! If you haven’t, sadly, your time to collect is over. But that doesn’t mean game over. Starting today, the limited time rewards from the Winter Event have been replaced with new permanent rewards. You’ll want to boot up and hit the Cisterns again to look for those all new weapon colors, emotes, and a new decal. Some weapons, attachments, and rewards have been adjusted, and you’ll notice those Horde Mode rewards menus are much easier to read. Like you, we’ve also been busy killing bugs. Read on for the full report of everything in this patch, and then get back to business, jarheads! BUG FIXES REWARDS In addition to the below changes to Cosmetic rewards, all Game Mode reward tables have been updated so that they share the same pool of non-cosmetic rewards. This means that all Perks and Attachments that were previously only available in some modes are now available in all modes. All cosmetic rewards are still only available from their unique Game Mode. The following changes have been made to rewards in the following Game Modes: Reworked the Horde Mode reward previews to better clarify possible rewards for each set of 10 waves. Horde Mode - Ruptured Cistern: The Winter Event limited rewards have been removed from the Ruptured Cistern Horde Mode (Winter Constellations, Deep Freeze, Stay Frosty, Xeno’s Greetings, Let It Snow, Holly Berries, Antarctica Traffic Control, Icicles) The following rewards have been added to the Ruptured Cistern Horde Mode: THREE (3) NEW EMOTES - (Intense+) Respect Elaborate Bow Fist Pump High THREE (3) NEW WEAPON COLORS - (Extreme+) Warped Mesh Assassin Warped Mesh Ranger Warped Mesh Freelancer ONE (1) NEW DECAL - (Insane) Peace Through Superior Firepower Game Mode Reward Changes: All Modes now share the same reward pool of Attachments and Perks.

All modes now grant access to first tier of Attachment/Perk rewards when completed on Casual or Standard difficulties, unlock access to the second tier of Attachment/Perk rewards when completed on Intense difficulty, unlock access to an additional Universal Perk on Extreme, and unlock access to the final Universal Perk on Insane difficulty.

We're giving you an extra week to earn the Holiday rewards. You now have until January 24th to earn them all!Aliens: Fireteam Elite - Year One Battle ReportDec 20, 2022 - Community Announcements{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39980677/95df7e9355d04602c710df534611623c317c9a61.jpg It’s been a year filled with Facehuggers, bursting eggs and galactic adventures. Together we’ve killed innumerable Xenomorphs and have helped make the outer colonies a safer place for just about everyone. It hasn’t always been easy, especially since we introduced Hardcore mode. Not only did you marines survive a run in with a Xenomorph Queen, but even took down one of her Pathogen counterparts. Not to mention the countless Warriors, Crushers and Praetorian that have learned what happens when you cross paths with the elite crew of the Endeavor. To help in your adventures, we added over 100 different items to the game since launch, including more than a dozen new weapons and two dozen new attachments. Plus stockfulls of emotes, kit skins, and weapon colors. As if all that wasn’t enough, we also added more than 60 new challenge cards and the Fabrication Reprocessor, so you can recycle the cards you’ve been hoarding. Speaking of hoards, we also added four new hoard modes this year, including Ruptured Cistern just a couple weeks ago. We’re especially proud of this latest entry and its unique vertical gameplay that has been giving even our most veteran marines a run for their money. All of this leads us to what was without a doubt our biggest content drop of the year, the Pathogen expansion. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39980677/a42d720b83c4edb28c76d7f34604050b812e58eb.jpg Pathogen brought with it 32 new challenge cards, 26 attachments, 8 new weapons, dozens of weapon colors, emotes, perks, decals and more. Most importantly, it continued the Aliens: Fireteam Elite story with the 3-mission ‘Promise of a Flower’ campaign. Marines faced their toughest challenge yet when they were tasked with taking down the Pathogen hive and eliminating the Pathogen Queen. She put up a mighty fight, but ultimately fell to the prowess of the Colonial Marines. It’s been an incredible year and we’re so thankful to have been able to share this game with all of you. We’ll be back in the new year with new announcements and new opportunities to squelch the Xenomorphs scourge. Until then, don’t forget to earn all the limited time rewards in the Ruptured Cistern Holiday event that runs through January 17th!

This past year has been an incredible journey facing off against some of the most fearsome foes in the galaxy. Fireteams had to battle back hordes of Xenomorphs, eliminate scores of pathogen enemies, and even went toe-to-toe with a Pathogen Queen and lived to tell the tale. Now it’s time for a new adventure – one with limited time rewards that delves deep into a place our marines know all too well. Reports are that there's a leak in Katanga's cisterns and we need a Fireteam to clear out the Xenomorphs and help with the repairs. Before we get any further, it’s important that you know the cisterns are unlike anything you’ve faced before. Herrera will walk you through the repairs, but everything you mess with is going to bring wave after wave of enemies down upon you. The kicker? Katanga’s cisterns are part of a multistory complex. That means you need to keep your head on a swivel and not just watch out behind you, but above and below you as well. This is vertical gameplay like you’ve never seen before in AFE. Find the right angles and you might even be able to defend more than one level at a time. It won’t be easy though; you’ll need to traverse the multiple levels of the cisterns to get everything back up and running. Between activating the air intake and computer, then cycling the cistern intake, even the most experienced marines are going to have their hands full. For the successful teams, the rewards will be plenty. In addition to the standard 30 attachments and perks regularly available to be earned in horde modes, Ruptured Cistern is introducing limited edition rewards in Aliens: Fireteam Elite for the first time. https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/39980677/179ca866f68e0469b7f5a76b2ea03406f62148d4.jpg From now until January 17th, there will be eight unique holiday rewards available. The six decals, including Stay Frosty and Xeno's Greetings, will be awarded randomly to marines who complete at least wave 10 of Ruptured Cistern on any difficulty level. The new Deep Freeze gun color will be awarded to anyone who can complete 10 waves on Intense difficulty. And if you’re up to the challenge, you can unlock the Winter Constellations gun color by completing 10 waves on Extreme difficulty. Whatever you do, make sure you don’t delay jumping into this limited time challenge. Once these rewards are gone, they may never come back.

Pathogen Deep Dive: An Exhilarating New StoryAug 30, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsThe Pathogen expansion for Aliens: Fireteam Elite is now available and there’s a swarm of new content to go through. Join us as we dive into the trenches with Head of Studio Craig Zinkievich, Lead Content Designer Kris DeMeza, Creative Director Matt Highison, Systems Designer Corey LeFever, and Lead Systems & Combat Designer Chris Matz. To start things off, we’ll throw it over to Craig for a brief introduction. "It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since we first launched Aliens: Fireteam Elite! We got to tell the story of Katanga and LV-895 in the initial four campaigns of the game, but we left plenty of threads lying around for other missions and stories the crew of the Endeavor could explore. Thanks to our incredible community and the support we’ve received, we realized we could provide players with more story content, and it didn’t take us long to figure out the exhilarating story we wanted to tell. Pushing ourselves and our storytelling to delve deeper into the Pathogen enemies of LV-895 that players encountered in Campaign 3: The Gift of Fire, we realized there was a lot left unexplored there. Where did these creatures come from? Why are there so many? The Pathogen is so dangerous that it was an obvious priority for The Endeavor, and Cold Iron to investigate. This expansion includes new enemies, new stories, and our toughest missions yet. We can’t wait to see you all take them on!" - Craig Zinkievich, Head of Studio As Craig alluded to, Pathogen finds the crew of the Endeavor on a mission to discover more about the mysterious infection ravaging LV-895. They must venture into new and unexplored Engineer ruins and investigate a deadly new hive unlike anything they’ve seen before. If you haven’t seen it already, check out the official gameplay trailer below! The Pathogen campaign spans three missions following the events of the successful Regicide mission in campaign four of the base game. It all starts when Esther detects unusual activity from the Xenomorphs that remain on Pala Station on the surface of LV-895. Large groups are traveling south to a big canyon complex, and when Xenomorphs act strange, Colonel Shipp wants to know why. But before things get to Shipp, they first must go through Cold Iron’s Kris Demeza. "We know players have been wanting more story content and we're excited to be able to bring that to them with this expansion. We built a whole new three-mission campaign exploring the consequences of Pathogen spreading on LV-895. We focused on making environments with a focus on exploration, presenting players with the opportunity to stick together or divide and conquer. Dangerous new enemies and hazardous locations might overwhelm the lone Marine, so make sure your friends - or the ever-loyal Alpha and Beta - are ready to help if you get in over your head! At the end of this trek lurks an often asked for threat: a boss fight in the shape of the Pathogen Queen. She's waiting to topple the unwary, so bring your consumables ...Aliens: Fireteam Elite Pathogen and Hardcore UpdatesAug 30, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsALIENS: FIRETEAM ELITE - PATHOGEN and HARDCORE UPDATES You asked for new missions.
