Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Guides
Quick answer: Start with the Beginner Guide, then choose a class and use the Weapons, Builds, Campaign or Horde guide for the problem in front of you. Every recommendation distinguishes official facts from tested results and Unconfirmed fields.
| Guide | Best for | Evidence rule |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner Guide | First deployments and class choice | Confirmed systems only |
| Best Weapons | Selecting weapons by role | No invented stat rankings |
| Best Builds | Reproducible build records | Version, mode and difficulty required |
| Campaign | Mission preparation and progression | No invented mission count |
| Horde Mode | Escalating-wave preparation | No invented wave or reward table |
Begin with verified basics
The game is a third-person survival shooter with single-player support and up to four-player co-op. It has five core classes plus Specialist, multiple weapon customization layers and dedicated Horde content. Those official facts define the starting point.
The Beginner Guide explains how to make early decisions without treating a launch-era tier list as permanent. Platform setup belongs in the Platforms Hub.
Choose a class before copying a build
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. It also needs the patch, mode, difficulty and squad context used to evaluate it.
Use databases as evidence
The Weapons, Enemies, Missions and Perks pages are evidence indexes. Unknown values remain blank or Unconfirmed; they are not reconstructed from memory or copied from another wiki.
This makes the guides easier to maintain after balance patches. A corrected database record can point readers to every affected guide.
