Aliens: Fireteam Elite

Happy Alien Day, Colonial Marines. The original Alien film takes place on the moon Acheron, or LV-426. So every 4/26 we get to celebrate the movie that started it all, and the incredible Alien fans. 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!

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. To everyone who has supported Cold Iron Studios, Aliens: Fireteam Elite, and all of the work we’ve put in, we wanted to first thank you. We have had a lot of things going on under the hood, and the continued dedication our fans have delivered has been invaluable. That said, we’ve got lots of great news to share!
