Aliens: Fireteam Elite Pathogen and Hardcore Updates

ALIENS: FIRETEAM ELITE - PATHOGEN and HARDCORE UPDATES

You asked for new missions. You asked for new enemies. You asked for a shot at a Queen.

Well, be careful what you wish for, Marines.

The Pathogen hive is here, and the swarm is angry. Get your Fireteam and get ready for more gear, more enemies, and more action. Delve deep into a new campaign that will pit you against the first boss fight of Aliens: Fireteam Elite - The Pathogen Queen.

See what mysteries the Pathogen update holds with more details below!

As if all the exciting updates that came with the Pathogen DLC weren’t enough, we’ve also got a free new game mode, dozens of new challenge cards and so much more coming your way.

Hardcore is AFE’s newest game mode and it’ll be a challenge for even the most battle-hardened marines. Do you have what it takes to avoid permadeath? Or will you crumble like so many before you?

It’s not just a new game mode, though. We’re also bringing you 32 new challenge cards and 13 new attachments. From ‘Unpredictable Mutations’ to ‘Make Sure It's Dead’, these new cards truly live up to their name.

On the cosmetics side of things, you can count on new weapons colors, new decals, new emotes and more!

If you’re the kind of person that needs all the details, keep scrolling and you’ll find them below. If not, hurry up and get back to protecting LV-895. Those Xenomorphs are getting out of hand!

Pathogen and Hardcore updates are scheduled to be available by 10 am PT on August 30th, 2022

Note: Platform availability times may vary.
