Cold Iron Studios is wrapping up the first year of Aliens: Fireteam Elite with Season Four, which introduces plenty of new content for the game, notably crossplay across PC and consoles, as well as adding a new game mode. In addition, the new update introduces a new ‘prestige’ progression system that starts once players reach level 20.
Introduced in the update is “Restock Turrets” mode. In this game type, players are tasked with having to keep their turrets restocked so they can keep firing on the waves of Xenomorphs. The mode relies on player cooperation to keep things going smoothly.
For those who have cleaned out Fireteam Elite, and are looking for additional challenge, the new Prestige ranks offer you that challenge. Upon reaching level 20, earned experience points go towards your Prestige rank, which runs up to 100. Every 10 Prestige levels, players are rewarded with new outfits, gun colours, decals, emotes and more.
Of course, the new update adds four new toys for your marines, including the double-shot burst M51 Breaching Scattergun, the P.649 HEL, a fully automatic sniper rifle in the SVAT-92 Sokol, and the shotgun-like DKT-59 Misha handgun. That’s in addition to the new Fabrication Reprocessor, which allows you to take 3 Challenge Cards and reroll them to create one new card.
This all leads up to Aliens: Fireteam Elite‘s first expansion, titled Pathogen, which arrives August 30th. Aliens: Fireteam Elite (which we reviewed here) is available for PC via Steam, Xbox Series, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
