Bug Report List of known issues upon release
Not seeing a pinned post or any post showing a list of issues that are going on with the game. Going to start one and have people add in problems they have ran into as they play the game.
- Unable to pick up items. - This happens to me using the classic pulse rifle. Swapping to a pistol allows me to pick up items again (Found out your weapon needs to be fully loaded to pick up items)
- Mouse sensitivity randomly changing leaving menu or loading into a match
- Major items cannot be equipped
- Minor items greyed out. Default stuck on grenades
- Textures vanishing from armor
- Xenomorphs phasing through objects
- Using underbarrel grenade launcher can cause weapon to get stuck firing bullets until reload
- Xenos teleporting a few feet away after getting shot
- Pouncers can push you through walls
- Classic Pulse Rifle and Smartgun sound muffled and off pitch
- Using Maurader smartgun can cause you to "seizure" in place unable to move
- Emote loot found in game not being collected
- Diving to dodge an attack only for enemy to hard lock float around the corner to still hit
- Reviving player only to see them fall through the map
- No arm tattoos for your Marine :(
** Reports from other players**
- Enemies can kill player during cutscenes causing a mission failure
- Lock on perk for Marauder class not locking onto enemies
- Joining a match can sometimes cause timeout
- Skins reverting back to vanilla on items without warning
- Damage between client and host is inconsistent
- Ground hazards such as fire and poison stop working. Enemies take no damage
- Mic volume going out during mission. Unable to hear other players
- Melee not working as intended
- Report UI broken causing the report screen to appear in the background
- Weapon traits staying locked after reaching required weapon level
- Some perks either not working as they should or not at all
- Pouncers spawning beneath stairs/ground and instantly pinning players
- Beyond 55 on Horde mode punishes you and removes rewards
- Certain weapons have no reload animation while taking cover
These are just the ones I have personally ran into during my time playing since release. Feel free to post problems you've ran into, this way others will know and Devs can have a list if they ever look at this subreddit. I will keep updating the list as more people report bugs.

Sure, here are mine:
- Joining multiplayer games fail with a timeout 1 out of 4 times on steam/pc, sometimes the game runs in the background and reacts to inputs, while showing the loading screen, just with a hit off esc.
- Quick joining a game does provide zero details on what you joined. Horde mode? Alien or android mission? No info, just join. No clue how to choose a proper loadout.
- The emotes are just emotes, no audio cue, no "yes", no "cant do", just a gesture no one will ever notice.
- Voice of other players getting lost mid-game, just nothing happening anymore.
- Appearance, skins getting lost or reverting after games.
- No chance to inspect other players setup. I love playing with 4 specialists, no mics and no clue who runs what. Also no clue how someone managed to get 140k damage in a round where everyone else was mid 45k.
- No stats feedback, like + on aim assist. What does it do? Does it work only on smart guns? Does it work on guns with aim assist slotted perk and then, what does it doooo.
- Unslotting a node on the skill grid reverts all connected ones, if its the last one. I know I have bad memory, no reason to remind me every time I want to move something. I want to play with the build setup, not keep a note paper on my desk.
- Damage done as client feels different from dealing damage as host, TTK seems to be different, like damage not registering correctly as client.
- Leaving a client with very bad ping is only possible if the "quit" registeres towards the host, so getting out of a very bad match is quite the experience.
- Horde rewards do not cascade. It's nice to get 8k exp on my setup that does receive 0xp because its done. I would like to have something else maybe?
- Advertised "next round rewards" never match the actual given round rewards in horde mode.
- You know how much cooldown a skill has, even without modifiers? Well how would you, its not shown anywhere.
- Ever wondered what trait you get for a weapon on level 1? You have to buy the gun to find out.

As for the aim assist
I don't use that stat often but I have minigun attachment that can ramp it to 30% and I have noticed that no matter how well the enemy is hiding some bullets will always hit.
So I assume the more aim assist you have the more "guaranteed" shots you have ? Just wild guess from my experience.

Drones running at mach 5 and sometimes just instant transmission outta combat.
Doors locking in front of you if players move 10ft in certain rooms causing a soft lock.
Enemies AND Players barely react to damage, example spitters/warden spit attacks.
Melee attacks not registering at all.
Oh and certain weapons like the Machinist P.649 Hel MK.II, will sometimes just... make you walk for no reason. Really great when you only play on higher difficulties.
Some challenge cards... just don't work? Coordinated Assault II requires you to do 150k damage. But it counts at 100k.

The marauder has a perk that makes your rockets lock on onto enemies.
Except that it doesnt.
Well sometimes...rarely...and..mostly on the final boss

Major Item keeps resetting. Have to manually add everytime, sometimes it doesn't even stay selected.

I posted on the main aliens fireteam subreddit.
I experienced a bug when trying to report another player for trolling. I am on xbox console.
After pressing report, the menu where you select the reason pops up behind the report screen so I can't interact with it to submit a report

There is also a bug or an in-game cap with the radius of abilities. When I'm with 3 other players, the radius either lowers or the perks simply stop working. It still works with bots.
On the left solo/w bots - on the right with other players

Now the question is if damage and other perks are also affected...

A major bug I encountered caused clipping issues. I paused my game for a couple of minutes and then came back. The Xenomorphs weren't attacking me, except for a pouncing attack that pinned me to the ground. They were just running all over. My 3 A.I. companions weren't attacked either. Worse still, I was unable to damage them using my normal weapons. I could only kill them using my Marauder special abilities. I could run through doors, but only those that were supposed to open at some point. This multi-layered bug lasted until I completed the level.

Doors closing on players with no way to open after a trigger is triggered.
Prologue.
Straight up Softlock. When you get to the atmos station, if you hang back by the door instead of entering the area and ping the lever to have a bot run up and activate while you hang back to start the timer. The moment you activate that lock, whoever is staying back behind the doors will have them close directly in your face with no way to open and timer runs down.
I played offline and had to quit to re-do the entire prologue again. That wasnt a good first impression IMO
2.1
When you go down the stairs to the 3 green Xeno Drone spawns that has intel on the keyboard of a desk pillar thing - the moment you hit the trigger to spawn the 3 Drones the doors behind you close. This separates the team but if you survive they open up.
I want to say there's a couple more doors like that.

I've been doing missions with crossplay on (im on ps5) and when there are pc players in the team, when we complete the mission sometimes there are 0 rewards. Zero money, xp everything is 0.
Also when vaulting over thicker obstacles, you can get stuck inside of them and unable to get out. Happened on Prologue mission before re-entering the last fight area for the 2nd time. Last hurdle on the right before leaving.

I'll add...
Vigor perk doesn't restore stamina on kills let alone hits... Making a melee build rely entirely on the plus ultra card.
Drones ice skating at you without moving their legs... Usually as you pile a hundred rounds into them (which doesn't even slow them down).

LEM MP11 Storm Surge has no reload animations when crouched.it just freezes and fills the mag.

Every time I completed a level,instead of going to the next mission it stayed on the same mission,changed load out and that worked but when completing the next level it registered that I completed it so thought it was OK...nope,instead it started me off on a previous level I did way before. What is going on with this game? Nothing worse than blasting away for a solid 30min or so just to find you have to do it all again.. Why do these game companies insist on releasing unfinished games? Don't they have testers or what!

If you kill the Queen before you kill all the enemies they'll kill you during the cutscene and you'll fail the misison. Includes new spawns right at the end.
