Aliens: Fireteam Elite – All Class Abilities

Aliens: Fireteam Elite boasts cooperative play by having players assigned to specific roles. The three Colonial Marines banded together on a given mission will need to work together, ensuring their chosen class kits compliment each other, to increase their likelihood of completing the mission at hand without any casualties.

There are five available classes: Gunner, Demolisher, Technician, Doc, and Recon. The last one in that list is the only class kit not immediately available in the game; a certain prerequisite must first be met before the Recon class can be used.

Unlock conditions aside, the five classes house different capabilities for dealing with and mitigating damage from Xenomorph and synthetic foes. The Gunner is the jack of all trades class; Demolisher brings heavy weaponry and explosive ordinance; Technician adds to the group’s firepower with a turret; Doc ensures everyone is in fighting shape; and Recon keeps those magazines filled with ammunition.

Of course, there’s more to the classes than the brief descriptions provided above. Read on for the full list of abilities associated with each of the five classes.
