Frequently asked fireteam questions

Short answers with clear boundaries around what the official source confirms.

Is Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 available now?

The official publisher page currently presents the game as available on Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox and PlayStation. Store availability can vary by region, so use the official purchase links before buying.

How many players can join a fireteam?

The official feature page says the game drops up to four players into the boots of Colonial Marines.

How many classes are there?

The official page describes five unique classes with major upgrades, plus a new Specialist endgame class for fully custom Marines.

Does it support crossplay?

The official page confirms cross-platform co-op and newly added cross-platform voice chat. It does not publish every platform-pair or account-linking boundary, so this guide keeps those details separate.

Can I play solo with AI teammates?

The current official feature page does not document the exact solo or AI-squadmate rules. This site marks that answer as unconfirmed instead of turning competitor copy into a fact.

What makes the weapon system different?

The official page highlights fire modes, Augments and unique Weapon Traits. The loadout guide explains how to evaluate those systems without inventing a universal best weapon.
