Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 Enemies and Threat Guide

The Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 enemies roster is built to punish a static firing line. The official Xenomorph dossier lists nine named threats and gives role or threat-level context for each. Exact health, resistances, weak points, and spawn tables are unverified.

Threat families

The official preview material names Xenomorphs as a central danger and says players must stay mobile and maintain situational awareness. The official dossier provides this launch reference:

Enemy	Official role or response
Drone	Common frontline pressure; track the swarm and keep moving
Facehugger	Fast close-range threat; remove it before it reaches the team
Warden	Frontline brawler and zone controller with ranged acid attacks
Exploder	Explosive pressure; create space before it reaches the formation
Crusher	Heavy threat; reposition and focus it when it commits
Siren	Support threat that calls reinforcements; prioritize the caller
Praetorian	High-threat elite; coordinate focus fire and control
Harbringer	Official showcase name; confirm localization and in-game behavior
Striker	Fast pressure threat; call its direction and avoid tunnel vision

The spelling Harbringer follows the official announcement. Confirm the in-game localization before changing it.

Adapt instead of memorizing one counter

Different enemies can change the value of range, control, elemental ammunition, and focus fire. Steam mentions pyro and electric ammo and close-range stun batons as examples of tools players can use under pressure. The exact matchup table is not published, so a counter should be labeled confirmed only when supported by a tooltip, official note, or repeatable test.

Squad communication

Call the dangerous target, its direction, and whether the team should focus or reposition. Four-player co-op is explicitly designed around deeper coordination and class composition. A threat guide should therefore include the team response, not just a solo damage instruction.

Enemy guide standard

For each enemy, record the name, faction, attack pattern, threat level, weak point, resistance, counter, and source date. Separate official showcase information from community observations. The official dossier is a role reference, not a complete stat table.
