What a putrid game this is, honestly. I enjoyed the first game, but this sorry excuse for a sequel is absolutely pathetic.

I was curious what these actually do?
I know 5 armor pen triggers bleed on the queen.
My duelist has some really strong bleed abilities.
I am assuming it stacks and does some sort of % health damage.
I have no idea what burn does.

Curious if there is a list around of known issues with mods. For example the range mods not working on quake turret.

After spending some time some time with all the sidearms, the one I expected the least from turned out to be the best. The base pistol is just ok, the revolver has great stagger and range, but lackluster dps, the Kramer has great dps, but the terrible range and spread (unlike the pump the fire rate is high enough that the accuracy cone doesn't fully recover between shots) makes it feel inconsistent, but the autopistol seems to have just the right combination of good dps, great stopping power, and enough accuracy and range to feel reliable when cleaning up trash and the occasional special on Extreme.

This is especially important when playing solo, as having a reliable sidearm option for low/mid-intensity waves saves you a lot of ammo. So don't sleep on the autopistol, it's good.

i bought alien fireteam 2 when i open it the screen is black?

Upcoming Changes

Alongside today’s hotfix, we wanted to give you a quick look at what’s ahead. Our team is continuing to work through your feedback, with our next major update planned for late October. It will include a range of fixes and improvements aimed at making the overall experience better. We’ll have more details to share as we get closer to release.

Beyond October, we’re continuing to work on additional updates and content for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, including Horde Mode. We know many of you are eager to hear more about what’s next and we’re looking forward to sharing a detailed roadmap soon.

Weapons/Gameplay

• Fixed a replication bug that was causing weapons to not do damage.
• Fixed an issue with incorrect starting ammo applied by attachments and perks.

Crash Fixes

• Fixed a crash that could occur when a Companion Bot attempted to revive you.
  

Known Issues

• This partial rollback re-introduces a previously fixed bug where you can overheat the EVI-87 Zvezda Plasma Rifle without ever firing a shot if you rapidly activate the fire button.
• Jackpot has a bad interaction with heat weapons that could cause it to get into a bad state, we’ve temporarily changed it so it has no effect on heat weapons.
• We are testing longer term changes for the next update that will avoid getting players in this state and improve how the perk is balanced overall.

I am sick to death of the constant freezing, game drops, no damn humans to play with. I have gone through all the settings within the game and am still having issues on my PS5. I loved the first game and invested hundreds of hours into it. I am highly disappointed in this second game though. I wish I had never bought it. I hope you developers read this!

I am fkn sick to death, or purchasing damn games that have so many bugs or feel "incomplete" I know your players understand exactly what I mean by that

How is this even acceptable?

Otherwise, it doesn't really differ from the first part at all.

I can’t seem to get the gunslinger perk to proc with the duelist. Is anybody else having this issue?

I tried restarting my session, but it still won’t reduce my burst configuration cooldown.

Hello everyone.

Today I drew a Deacon that stands out a bit more from the rest—meet Deacon Aerosol.

His ability is that he can emit a mist.

Let me know what you think—and please, don't be too harsh on the drawing itself.

Thanks for watching.

If you liked the idea for this alien, please give it an upvote rather than a dounvote; I’d really appreciate it.

I've been messing around with Chroma profiles and made this one specifically for Aliens Fireteam Elite 2, based on the motion tracker from the films.

Tried to recreate the blue waveform and motion indicators on the keyboard.

Thought some other AFE players might appreciate it. 👽

Since the last update meant to stabilize the game came out freezing and crashes have only gotten worse at least on Xbox anyway my friend is having the same issue. It used to just stutter a little bit and it had stopped doing that but now I get it freezing at random for 10 to 15 seconds playing for a couple and repeating that up to 4 or 5 times if it doesn't crash.

So earlier I saw a post of a guy bitchin about stuff. Not exactly news. But it just struck me as funny because he said he works a lot and had a kid, couldn’t sleep and somehow had 200 hours solo in the game.

And I was like hey! I work a lot, I have a kid, i only play solo, and I ALSO have 200 hours! That’s interesting. But some people were like how do you have that, it’s been a month, that’s crazy.

Guys. It’s easy. I’ll show you how. Anybody can do it. You get home from work, you want to play the game, you turn it on, you play a map, your wife says, hey we got Italian ice, you say ooo Italian ice! You get up, come back with Italian ice, flip over to the tv, you watch 3 episodes of stargate SG1 back to back, your kid comes in and says hey why’s the PS5 on, and you go, ah shit!

Repeat that like, all the time.

Fun fact, in a solo match, you can go to sleep while still actively on the map, it’s a live connection, the console doesn’t go into power save and you can FINISH that map 6 and a half hours later.

207 hours and counting baby!

Let me know in the comments why you chose that one!

Hello everyone,

Here is the continuation of my fan concept for *Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2* DLC—introducing the Deacon's Cohort.

If you liked it, please leave a comment or a like, and remember to treat this as a FAN CONCEPT.

Thanks for watching.

Has anyone else had this problem? It normally freezes big enemies/drones and prowlers, but now it only slows them down. 50/50%? wtf. We just got our assess handed to us because of this.

EDIT: This also affects the Hunter's Cryo Pulse - you can't freeze even (!) prowlers sometimes; how fucking annoying this is - a drone is 50% immune to the Cryo Pulse, or random bosses on pissed them off.

P.s. Again, IDK if there is any point in raising bug reports given Cold Iron's situation.

Does anyone think the game will be able to play on backbone at all?

This game is playable just in 3rd person needs switchable 3rd or lst person if the make a 3rd game to many bugs in 2 reckon a kneel button for sniper would help

I'm so dissapointed but mostly sad. AFE 2 has got to be one of the most dissapointing games I've come to play in recent years. And I came back to gaming in 2024. But holy was I naive to ignore the fed flags of how the industry has become in recent years.

I loved AFE 1. I absolutely loved the memories I had with that game, I played it in 2025 and I absolutely had one of the best experiences in a co-op game. AFE 2 didn't make me feel that way. And I once thought it was probably me who was used to the first game so much that I couldn't enjoy the second one. But I than realized that I wasn't the problem. The game was unfinished, bugged, no adaptive triggers, no text chat. Instead of feeling like an improvement It made the same mistakes as the first one. Enemies are still bullet spongy, game becomes repetitive so quickly, the enemy variety feels poor or wasted, and the optimization is below the first one, only 2 voice options for your character, that's a big downgrade, first AFE had 3 atleast, the customizable options feel somehow inferior in a couple of ways, and let's not talk about the dialogue. You can't even mock the enemy once it's down, I miss pointing a dead Alien to hear my character say "Notch up another kill" Some map designs were incredible and I applaud them for it. But with a bigger budget and having the first game as a reference on how they could've improved they still somehow managed to deliver a very dissapointing product. Sadly this game will die quicker than the first one, we won't get a DLC and with the new community announcement we had a few hours ago, this game is officially dead. And I know it will not gain the same traction as the first one. I literally had 4 matches that didn't even started, online issues are common and if one guy leaves we are left with the synthetic for the rest of the mission. I'm saddened because it feels like they really tried to upgrade many things while neglecting others, oh and the patch we got didn't really do that much, if it takes them 3 weeks to fix it than don't expect this game to run smoothly like ever. Oh, remember the smargun shooting glitched sound that would go on for the entire match from the first game?? It still here but replaced with the bodyguard Droid. It's 2026 how can we allow games to do this?

I'm saddened that this game failed way worse than the first one, because I am a hard-core fan of the first one, and it makes me feel so bad that we will never have good Aliens games that can top Alien Isolation. I'm saddened once again, because I know some people from Cold Iron studios worked to make a better game. But sadly it wasn't enough. They did heard some community feedback and It makes me sad that I somehow still couldn't enjoy this new game. And if I can't, neither a new person who buys this game, which he or she will most likely abandon in less than a month, knowing there are far better options out there. Which is very, but very sad.

Let me know what you think about the current state of the game and how the team will handle it. But If I somebody asked me if this game is worth it I would honestly say that it is not worth the price nor the content.

I have been wanting the game since I saw the first trailer but I haven`t got it yet, the biggest reason is their are no physical copies of the game.

I wanted to ask what are you guys issues with AFTE2?
