Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Guides
Quick answer: Choose the guide that matches your next decision. New players should start with the Beginner Guide; loadout planning belongs in Classes, Best Builds, and Best Weapons; mode questions belong in Single Player, Campaign, and Horde Mode.
| High-intent guide | Use it for | Current evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner Guide | First deployments and class choice | Confirmed systems only |
| Best Builds | Reproducible build records | Version, mode and difficulty required |
| Best Weapons | Selecting weapons by class and combat job | No invented stats or universal ranking |
| Single Player | Solo support, AI-bot evidence and Offline status | Offline and detailed bot behavior remain Unverified |
| Horde Mode | Escalating-wave preparation | No invented wave or reward table |
Start playing
Use the Beginner Guide for squad structure, first-class selection, ability and perk reading, weapon planning, positioning, and repeatable learning. It prioritizes confirmed systems over launch-era tier claims.
Use the Campaign Guide and Missions Database when the question is mission preparation or progression. The current evidence does not support an invented complete mission count.
Choose a class and loadout
Marauder, Duelist, Machinist, Hunter and Medic have distinct official tool sets. Specialist can use unlocked abilities and perks in endgame configurations. Read All Classes and the role-based Best Class Guide.
A build only makes sense when its class, abilities, modifiers, perks and weapons are named. Use Best Builds for role directions and versioned evidence requirements, then Best Weapons for confirmed signature associations and weapon-testing limits.
Pick a game mode
The Single Player Guide directly answers whether Solo is supported, separates official store labels from third-party AI-bot footage, and keeps Offline play and detailed bot behavior unverified until tested.
The Horde Mode Guide covers officially confirmed dedicated Horde content, squad-preparation paths, and the current gaps around exact maps, waves, rewards, and Solo access. Co-op platform questions belong in the Crossplay Guide.
Check the databases
The Weapons, Enemies, Missions and Perks pages are evidence indexes. Unknown values remain blank or Unverified; they are not reconstructed from memory or copied from another wiki.
Use Updates to check whether a patch affects a class, build, weapon, or guide conclusion.
Platforms and troubleshooting
Use the Platforms Hub for Steam, PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2 status. Buying questions belong in Price, Editions, and Game Pass. Technical and connectivity checks belong in the Troubleshooting Hub.
Frequently asked questions
Where should a new player start?

Where are the Solo and Horde guides?
Use Single Player for Solo, AI, and Offline questions, and Horde Mode for dedicated-map, wave, reward, and preparation questions.
Are the best builds final?
No. Builds are versioned recommendations and can change after patches.
Does the site publish untested weapon rankings?
No. Unverified values and conclusions are marked instead of being guessed.
