Simply being a Colonial Marine doesn’t make one invulnerable. I mean, we have all seen their corpses quickly litter the environment when going toe-to-toe with Xenomorphs in various forms of Alien media. The soldiers among their ranks are built differently and Aliens: Fireteam Elite understands this. That’s why there are multiple difficulty options to appropriately scale the experience to each type of combatant, bettering your chances of reaching the end in one piece.
Whether you are looking for a more forgiving journey through the alien-infested hallways tucked away on LV-895 or are ready to test your mettle against the most formidable Xenomorph variants ever encountered, Cold Iron Studios has you covered. The available difficulty settings tweak important factors, such as revive limitations, friendly fire, and enemy damage output. As you would expect, the list of challenging modifiers increase in severity as you rise in difficulty selection.
Aliens: Fireteam Elite includes five difficulty options: Casual, Standard, Intense, Extreme, and Insane. The final two require completing the main campaign to unlock, which doesn’t take that long.
Here’s an overview of each difficulty setting.
Casual: For those looking for a more relaxed experience. Like Standard, with the following changes:
Standard: Provides a good challenge for those familiar with shooters.
Intense: The true Aliens experience, the way it is meant to be played. Seasoned survival shooter players should find a challenge here. Like Standard, with the following changes:
Extreme: I can’t lie to you about your chances but… you have my sympathies. Unlocks after completing the full campaign. Like Intense, with the following changes:
Insane: That’s it, man. Game over, man. Game over! Unlocks after completing the full campaign. Like Extreme, with the following changes:
