Aliens: Fireteam Elite
Alien Day 2024 Update
In celebration of Alien Day, we’re dropping a new quality-of-life update for Aliens: Fireteam Elite that makes two really exciting changes to the game.
Firstly, we know that a lot of our players have been frustrated with the in-game currency cap of 50,000 credits. With this patch, we’re doubling the cap to 100K so you can safely hoard and collect even more credits than before!
Secondly, we know how much you love using challenge cards - and how much fun and replayability they add to each mission. We also know, though, that losing challenge cards when a mission is failed or a host drops out is frustrating. Plus, the grind to get enough currency to unlock more can be a hassle. That’s why, with this update, challenge card packs in SSGT Park’s shop are now FREE!
That’s all for now - happy Alien Day marines!
December 12th Update
- Fixed a bug related to the 'Guard Dog' perk that caused performance issues
Over and out!
October 2023 Patch Notes
Welcome to the Aliens: Fireteam Elite quality of life patch notes. We’ve got dozens of bug fixes, plus major updates to matchmaking and your favorite synth, heading your way. Alpha and Beta now have improved offensive, defensive, and support capabilities, meaning they’ll act smarter and more inline with how an actual player might respond to the situation. They’ll also scale more appropriately with higher difficulty levels and should perform more intelligently in regards to friendly fire, reviving and healing, and engagement.
On top of the Aliens: Fireteam Elite updates, we also have some Cold Iron Studios news to share that we’re extremely excited about.

First is that we are proud to announce Elena Siegman as our new Studio Head, leading production and development, and Kendall Deacon Davis, spearheading creative. We announced this on our company website and you can read more about it at coldironstudios.com.

Future updates will include many of the community's most prominent requests, such as fixes to matchmaking and improvements to everyone’s favorite Synths, Alpha and Beta.

We know you’ve been busy thinning the hordes of Xenomorphs in the Cistern, Marines. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed! If you got the limited rewards, you’ve earned ‘em! If you haven’t, sadly, your time to collect is over. But that doesn’t mean game over. Starting today, the limited time rewards from the Winter Event have been replaced with new permanent rewards. You’ll want to boot up and hit the Cisterns again to look for those all new weapon colors, emotes, and a new decal.
Some weapons, attachments, and rewards have been adjusted, and you’ll notice those Horde Mode rewards menus are much easier to read.
Like you, we’ve also been busy killing bugs. Read on for the full report of everything in this patch, and then get back to business, jarheads!
BUG FIXES
REWARDS
In addition to the below changes to Cosmetic rewards, all Game Mode reward tables have been updated so that they share the same pool of non-cosmetic rewards. This means that all Perks and Attachments that were previously only available in some modes are now available in all modes. All cosmetic rewards are still only available from their unique Game Mode.
The following changes have been made to rewards in the following Game Modes:
Reworked the Horde Mode reward previews to better clarify possible rewards for each set of 10 waves.
Horde Mode - Ruptured Cistern: The Winter Event limited rewards have been removed from the Ruptured Cistern Horde Mode (Winter Constellations, Deep Freeze, Stay Frosty, Xeno’s Greetings, Let It Snow, Holly Berries, Antarctica Traffic Control, Icicles)
The following rewards have been added to the Ruptured Cistern Horde Mode:
THREE (3) NEW EMOTES - (Intense+)

- Fist Pump High
THREE (3) NEW WEAPON COLORS - (Extreme+)
- Warped Mesh Assassin
- Warped Mesh Ranger
- Warped Mesh Freelancer
ONE (1) NEW DECAL - (Insane)
- Peace Through Superior Firepower
Game Mode Reward Changes:
All Modes now share the same reward pool of Attachments and Perks. Previously, some Attachments were only available from Point Defense, some Attachments were only available from Restock Turrets, and some Perks were only available from Likasi Tower. All of these have been pooled together now. All modes now grant access to first tier of Attachment/Perk rewards when completed on Casual or Standard difficulties, unlock access to the second tier of Attachment/Perk rewards when completed on Intense difficulty, unlock access to an additional Universal Perk on Extreme, and unlock access to the final Universal Perk on Insane difficulty.
Point Defense Cosmetic Rewards: Rewards that previously only dropped in a specific difficulty tier, will now also drop in higher difficulty tiers. For example, if a reward used to be earned by beating Point Defense on Intense (and only Intense), it will now have a chance to drop in Extreme and Insane difficulties if the reward has not been previously granted.
Horde Mode - Likasi Tower Cosmetic Rewards: Now has two (2) additional rewards (Weapon Check emote on any difficulty, and Corpsman Up Decal on Intense+ difficulties).If you beat a higher difficulty, and haven't received previous tier cosmetic rewards, those can be earned if you have already been granted the rewards associated with the higher difficulty tier.
Restock Turrets - Tower Cosmetic Rewards: Now has two (2) additional Decals (Little Buddy, Substantial Value) available as rewards at Extreme+ difficulties. Additionally, if you are playing on a higher difficulty and win, and haven't unlocked previous tier cosmetic rewards, those can be earned if you have already received the current tier cosmetic rewards.
Additional Hardcore Game Mode Reward Changes:
Hardcore: Point Defense - Quake: Attachment and Perk rewards that previously only dropped with a certain number of Points remaining active, will now also drop if additional Points remain active. For example, if an Attachment or Perk reward used to be earned by beating Point Defense in Hardcore Mode, with only 1 Point standing (and only 1 Point), it will now also have a chance to drop with 2 or all 3 points standing. Cosmetic rewards are only accessible if all 3 points remain active.
Hardcore: Horde Mode - Likasi Tower: Attachment and Perk rewards that previously only dropped at a specific wave threshold, will now also drop if additional wave thresholds are met. For example, if an Attachment or Perk reward used to be earned by successfully completing 10 waves (and only 10 waves) it will now also have a chance to drop at wave 20+, and Attachment or Perk rewards that used to be earned by successfully completing 20 waves ( and only 20 waves) now also have a chance to drop at wave 30+, and so on. Cosmetic rewards now also drop with similar behavior.

Ruptured Cistern Limited Time Holiday Rewards Extended
Aliens: Fireteam Elite - Year One Battle Report
It’s been a year filled with Facehuggers, bursting eggs and galactic adventures. Together we’ve killed innumerable Xenomorphs and have helped make the outer colonies a safer place for just about everyone.
It hasn’t always been easy, especially since we introduced Hardcore mode. Not only did you marines survive a run in with a Xenomorph Queen, but even took down one of her Pathogen counterparts. Not to mention the countless Warriors, Crushers and Praetorian that have learned what happens when you cross paths with the elite crew of the Endeavor.
To help in your adventures, we added over 100 different items to the game since launch, including more than a dozen new weapons and two dozen new attachments. Plus stockfulls of emotes, kit skins, and weapon colors.
As if all that wasn’t enough, we also added more than 60 new challenge cards and the Fabrication Reprocessor, so you can recycle the cards you’ve been hoarding.
Speaking of hoards, we also added four new hoard modes this year, including Ruptured Cistern just a couple weeks ago. We’re especially proud of this latest entry and its unique vertical gameplay that has been giving even our most veteran marines a run for their money.
All of this leads us to what was without a doubt our biggest content drop of the year, the Pathogen expansion.
Pathogen brought with it 32 new challenge cards, 26 attachments, 8 new weapons, dozens of weapon colors, emotes, perks, decals and more. Most importantly, it continued the Aliens: Fireteam Elite story with the 3-mission ‘Promise of a Flower’ campaign.
Marines faced their toughest challenge yet when they were tasked with taking down the Pathogen hive and eliminating the Pathogen Queen. She put up a mighty fight, but ultimately fell to the prowess of the Colonial Marines.
It’s been an incredible year and we’re so thankful to have been able to share this game with all of you. We’ll be back in the new year with new announcements and new opportunities to squelch the Xenomorphs scourge. Until then, don’t forget to earn all the limited time rewards in the Ruptured Cistern Holiday event that runs through January 17th!

Ruptured Cistern: New Vertical Gameplay and Limited Time Holiday Rewards
Welcome to Aliens: Fireteam Elite – Ruptured Cistern! This past year has been an incredible journey facing off against some of the most fearsome foes in the galaxy. Fireteams had to battle back hordes of Xenomorphs, eliminate scores of pathogen enemies, and even went toe-to-toe with a Pathogen Queen and lived to tell the tale.
Now it’s time for a new adventure – one with limited time rewards that delves deep into a place our marines know all too well. Reports are that there's a leak in Katanga's cisterns and we need a Fireteam to clear out the Xenomorphs and help with the repairs.
Before we get any further, it’s important that you know the cisterns are unlike anything you’ve faced before. Herrera will walk you through the repairs, but everything you mess with is going to bring wave after wave of enemies down upon you. The kicker? Katanga’s cisterns are part of a multistory complex. That means you need to keep your head on a swivel and not just watch out behind you, but above and below you as well.
This is vertical gameplay like you’ve never seen before in AFE. Find the right angles and you might even be able to defend more than one level at a time.
It won’t be easy though; you’ll need to traverse the multiple levels of the cisterns to get everything back up and running. Between activating the air intake and computer, then cycling the cistern intake, even the most experienced marines are going to have their hands full.
For the successful teams, the rewards will be plenty. In addition to the standard 30 attachments and perks regularly available to be earned in horde modes, Ruptured Cistern is introducing limited edition rewards in Aliens: Fireteam Elite for the first time.
From now until January 17th, there will be eight unique holiday rewards available. The six decals, including Stay Frosty and Xeno's Greetings, will be awarded randomly to marines who complete at least wave 10 of Ruptured Cistern on any difficulty level. The new Deep Freeze gun color will be awarded to anyone who can complete 10 waves on Intense difficulty. And if you’re up to the challenge, you can unlock the Winter Constellations gun color by completing 10 waves on Extreme difficulty.
Whatever you do, make sure you don’t delay jumping into this limited time challenge. Once these rewards are gone, they may never come back.
