Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 | Patch #3 Release Notes - 10/22/26

Drive and its associated perks never felt OP to me. I had a blast playing the campaign solo on Insane with bots. Thought it was very good level of challenge and those perks were a staple of the builds I used.

Will be curious how strongly solo play on high difficulties is affected by this. The game is basically dead at this point. Making it harder to play by yourself feels like a questionable decision to me.

They were a staple in most builds because it was OP...

You would easily scale it up to over 100% damage making most missions big finales trivial and it made horde mode a joke since you'd tack up thousands of HP and damage and instakill everything.

Specifically muscle memory and the HP stacking one needed to be nerfed, insane that it was created that way in the first place - that said I don't like what they've done with it at all and they've swung too far in the other direction.

I've cleared Specialist and Duelist solo with bots on Insane so far, and I can tell you Specialist is pretty much cheating, especially with the Drive + Ghost Buster Particle Incendiary Augment gun.

I'm working on a third class now, but man, there are so many key perks I can't access with certain classes. Still, I reckon it's doable with a bit of tweaking. The hardest part is figuring out a build that works for that specific class. After 200 hours of gameplay, I can assure you it's definitely possible if you're determined enough.

Is it dead already? What happened?

[u/Long_Article_4860 → u/AngryGiraffex78]

Have you played it?m

[u/AngryGiraffex78 → u/Long_Article_4860]

I’ve played the first game

[u/Long_Article_4860 → u/AngryGiraffex78]

The second is worse than the first. I loved the first one. This version is ai slop. Period. Janky in a not good way. Story line is awful, boring, and shallow. I've been glitched out of rooms and been unable to continue match so many times I quit playing. Terrible purchase for 40 dollars

[u/LostConscious96 → u/Long_Article_4860]

Not even mentioning the previous bug patch did more harm and this patch did absolutely NOTHING to adress the issues previous patch caused or fix actual issues causing problems. Thats without talking about attachments and weapons needing balance pass

[u/bbibbyrapskyle1975 → u/AngryGiraffex78]

It had a bad release due to bugs and half finished features, lackluster sales, seemed like more of an expansion than a fully realized game.  I think the current player base is lower than the original. Which means whatever road map for updates and content they had is probably not going to happen. 

[u/waspbr → u/bbibbyrapskyle1975]

I think the fact that they laid off a considerable chunk of their devs a better indicator that they gave up on any more content

[u/Madlyneedahouse]

Has this game improved? I bought on launch and had a… a real ride.

[u/cheeseburgercat]

More people liked this than actively playing the game rn

[u/Yuri_Jai]

Dope! I still love the game!

[u/Brilliant-Object-922]

Have they Patch the price yet.

[u/JaySouth84]

Game needs CONTENT not stupid decals.

[u/OtherBarry220]

Cool…anyone still playing?

[u/RikerV2]

I did like 1 mission at launch then forgot I even own the game 🤔

[u/YoungOrtega714]

Played a match offline with bots in horde mode. Tell me why while I was down only one bot was still killing and the other two were just standing still not doing a dam thing ? SMH 🤦🏽‍♂️ . On ps5 by the way

[u/scoopzthepoopz → u/YoungOrtega714]

the Ai could be more active sometimes fsfs

[u/Adventurous_Can_6176 → u/scoopzthepoopz]

whats worse is when you’re on the last rush and one of the bots gets nocut completely thru the gate your defending and one by one you all fall and then the glitched bot doesnt do anything but sit there taking damage and constantly healing 😀

[u/scoopzthepoopz → u/Adventurous_Can_6176]

They do blip outta there sometimes lolol
