ALIENS: FTE 2FIELD WIKI

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Horde Mode

confirmed partial

Quick answer: Yes. Horde Mode is officially confirmed, with dedicated Horde maps, additional challenges, and new rewards. The checked official sources do not state the exact map count, total waves, spawn tables, extraction rules, reward thresholds, Solo access, or a best class. Those details remain Unverified until a versioned run records the relevant menus and result screens.

Confirmed Horde features

Official material establishes dedicated Horde content, additional challenges, and new rewards. It does not provide enough detail for this page to publish a permanent map total, wave total, extraction schedule, spawn table, or reward threshold.

The game supports Single Player and up to four-player co-op at the product level, but those labels do not by themselves prove every Horde party-size rule. Use the Single Player Guide for the separate Solo and Offline evidence boundary.

Prepare a Horde loadout

Horde preparation differs from a single burst encounter. The squad needs answers for clustered enemies, priority targets, recovery and sustained positioning. Ammo and cooldown behavior should be measured rather than assumed.

Use Best Builds to record the exact class configuration and Best Weapons to document the weapon state for each Horde result. These links are evidence records, not a fixed best-build or best-weapon ranking.

Start with a documented role through Classes and Best Class. Then record the exact abilities, modifiers, perks, weapons, Fire Modes, Augments, and Traits through the linked build and weapon pages.

Community Horde example

A post-release Hunter Horde Mode recording on Crash Landed provides a community gameplay example. The public evidence time is 2026-08-30 (03:33:13 -07:00); the exact in-game test time, version, difficulty and repeat procedure are not disclosed. It does not meet this Wiki's Community Tested standard and does not establish wave totals, extraction rules, rewards, Solo viability, or the best Horde build. Those conclusions remain Unverified.

Marauder direct pressure, Hunter control, Machinist deployables, Medic sustain, and Duelist explosive offense are documented role directions. They are candidates to test in Horde, not proof of a fixed ideal composition.

Squad preparation checklist

Before publishing or relying on a Horde recommendation, record:

  1. Game version, platform, Horde map, difficulty, party size, and named wave or stage.
  2. Every class, ability, modifier, perk, weapon, Fire Mode, Augment, and Trait.
  3. Highest completed stage, deaths, revives, ammo pressure, failure point, and reward screen.
  4. At least three comparable runs for a recommendation and a control where a “best” claim is being tested.
  5. Any patch note or update that changes a component used by the run.

This checklist is a publication standard, not a claim that a particular composition, position, or loadout wins on every map.

Class and build paths

Use Medic to inspect documented sustain and recovery tools, Hunter for slow and freeze tools, Marauder for direct-pressure options, and Machinist for deployed support. Exact Horde performance remains test-dependent.

The Best Builds Guide contains clearly labeled partial public configuration examples. None is currently verified as a complete build or the best Horde build. The Weapons Database and Best Weapons Guide likewise avoid unsupported numerical or universal rankings.

Waves, maps, and rewards

For every run, record map, game version, difficulty, squad, class configurations, highest completed stage and reward screen. Repeat runs before publishing a pattern. Separate official labels from observed results.

A wave, map, or reward table should only present visible, versioned results. A screenshot without version, map, difficulty, party context, and outcome is not enough to establish a permanent rule.

Frequently asked questions

Is Horde Mode available at launch?

Yes. Official store and site descriptions include Horde content.

How many Horde maps are there?

Official material says dedicated maps but the exact count is Unverified here.

What is the best Horde class?

Unverified. A fair answer needs map-, wave-, difficulty- and version-specific testing.

Are there Horde rewards?

Yes, new rewards are officially mentioned; exact thresholds and contents need verification.
