Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 Medic Guide and Abilities

The Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 Medic is a support-focused class built around recovery, team buffs, and controlled damage. The official showcase confirms the Medic Kit, Adrenaline Surge, Overclock, Buffing Station, Poison Station, Bedside Manner, and Surgeon’s Hands. Exact cooldowns, final values, progression requirements, and the best Medic build are unverified until they can be checked in the live game.

What the Medic is confirmed to do

The Medic showcase presents a class that helps a fireteam stay active when a fight becomes unstable. Its tools cover direct recovery, area buffs, resistance, faster revives, and a station that damages enemies over time. That makes Medic information useful for squad planning, but it does not prove that Medic is the best class for solo, campaign, or Horde.

The official homepage describes four-player co-op and deeper squad mechanics. In that context, Medic should be evaluated by the problems it solves for the whole team, not only by personal damage. A Medic player should know when to preserve a recovery tool, when to create a safe area, and when to help focus a priority target.

Confirmed abilities and upgrades

Ability or perk	Confirmed function
Medic Kit	The class’s named medical kit and core support tool. The full charge and cooldown are unverified.
Adrenaline Surge	Increases damage resistance and grants knockback immunity.
Overclock	Increases fire rate for the team or nearby allies and improves the Medic’s reload speed.
Buffing Station	Gives allies in its area increased damage and damage resistance.
Poison Station	Deals damage over time to enemies. The showcase also describes a 5x multiplier to an Energy gained; the exact live-game rule is unverified.
Bedside Manner	Allows the Medic to pick up downed allies two times faster.
Surgeon’s Hands	Prevents knockback while interacting, reviving, or using items.

The table separates the named effects from values that the showcase does not explain. Do not add a damage number, radius, duration, charge count, or stacking rule unless it appears in an in-game tooltip or an official update. These missing fields should remain unverified, not be filled with a community estimate.

How to plan a Medic loadout

Start by deciding whether the squad needs recovery, a temporary combat boost, or an area that makes a hold position safer. Overclock and Buffing Station are the clearest team-facing examples, while Adrenaline Surge and Surgeon’s Hands address disruption and dangerous interactions. Which option is stronger depends on the mission, difficulty, enemy pressure, and the final upgrade rules.

Keep the Medic’s job visible to the squad. Call out when a station is ready, identify the area that teammates should use, and avoid placing a support tool where the fireteam cannot safely stand. These are practical coordination recommendations based on the confirmed ability functions, not a claim about a hidden meta build.

Medic in campaign and Horde

In a campaign mission, the Medic’s value should be measured by how often the squad survives a bad room and reaches the next objective. In Horde, the important questions are whether station placement remains useful across repeated waves and whether the team can protect the Medic while it interacts with a downed ally or an item. The collected official material does not publish a Medic tier list or a Horde-specific modifier.

The preview material describes Horde as a wave-survival mode with extraction decisions, vending machines, and random enemy-faction pressure. Those systems make repeatable recovery and area control relevant test subjects for Medic. They do not establish a fixed best composition, so the final Horde recommendation is unverified.

Confirmed signature weapons

The official Medic showcase names two signature weapons: X1 Fireball and Type 21 Tactical Shotgun MK.II. The announcement does not provide a complete stat comparison, unlock route, ammo rules, or a universal ranking between them. Treat the pair as confirmed class-related examples and wait for live testing before calling one the best Medic weapon.

When testing them, record the class setup, difficulty, target type, range, and any active Fire Mode, Augment, or Weapon Trait. Compare the same scenario more than once and keep weapon identity separate from ability buffs. This gives the page useful evidence without inventing damage values.

What is still unverified

The collected sources do not confirm the Medic’s exact progression path, full perk tree, resource economy, cooldowns, station radius, damage values, or interaction with every enemy faction. They also do not confirm whether the class is available from the start or unlocked later. Any build guide that claims those details without a first-party or reproducible in-game source should be treated as unverified.

Sources and update rule

The ability list and signature weapons come from the official Medic showcase. The squad context comes from the official game site. Update this page when an official patch note or live-game capture supplies a missing value, and record the affected version before changing a recommendation.
