Aliens: Fireteam Elite Adds New Turret Defense Mode And Progression System
Season 4 is now live in Aliens: Fireteam Elite bringing a new game mode, a new progression system, and cross-play support on all available platforms. The new game mode, unimaginatively called Restock Turrets, will have you doing just that as you defend your position against oncoming hordes of hostile aliens.
“Load up, Marines! Restock Turrets is a new game mode where you have to fend off Xenomorphs coming from every direction while keeping your turrets stocked up to defend your positions. Keep those turrets loaded, they’re your key to survival!”
The latest season also introduces the new Prestige Progression system that adds new Prestige Ranks that automatically unlocks when you reach level 20. All experience points earned after hitting the max level will go towards advancing your Prestige Rank from level 1 all the way up to 100 for bragging rights and exclusive rewards, such as new nameplates, outfits, head accessories, decals, gun colors, and emotes.
Old Challenge Cards earned from the campaign can now also be recycled using the Fabrication Reprocessor to create a new one. Three Challenge Cards can be re-rolled to get a brand new card that’s guaranteed to be different from the ones that you put in. Players can also look forward to Challenge Cards being implemented in other game modes in the future, including the new Restock Turrets mode.
Season 4 marks the end of Cold Iron Studios’ year-one development roadmap for the co-op shooter. With the season now live, the team has now shifted their focus to putting the finishing touches on the upcoming Pathogen DLC which is set to launch on August 30th. In the meantime, you’ve got turrets to babysit and new ranks to work towards to.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite is available on PC via Steam and on Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
