Cold Iron Studios has fired out Aliens Fireteam Elite update 1.31 (PS5 version 1.031), and this will bring the Pathogen DLC content into the game (for those who paid for it), as well as a slew of free content to base game owners as well. There are two separate sets of Aliens Fireteam Elite August 30 patch notes available below, one exclusive to the Pathogen DLC, and the other for the free Hardcore update (which is available to all).
Welcome back! As if all the exciting updates that came with the Pathogen DLC weren’t enough, we’ve also got a free new game mode, dozens of new challenge cards and so much more coming your way.
Hardcore is AFE’s newest game mode and it’ll be a challenge for even the most battle-hardened marines. Do you have what it takes to avoid permadeath? Or will you crumble like so many before you?
It’s not just a new game mode, though. We’re also bringing you 32 new challenge cards and 13 new attachments. From ‘Unpredictable Mutations’ to ‘Make Sure It’s Dead’, these new cards truly live up to their name.
On the cosmetics side of things, you can count on new weapons colors, new decals, new emotes and more!
If you’re the kind of person that needs all the details, keep scrolling and you’ll find them below. If not, hurry up and get back to protecting LV-895. Those Xenomorphs are getting out of hand!
Aliens: Fireteam Elite – Hardcore is scheduled to be available by 10 am PT on August 30th, 2022
Note: Platform availability times may vary.
This update includes the free Hardcore update for Aliens: Fireteam Elite.
For the toughest Marines looking for a true challenge, Hardcore Mode poses the riskiest gameplay yet. In Hardcore Mode, players will be able to start with new characters and play at a difficulty of their choice, but be warned, in this mode death means it’s “Game Over”. However, as you progress through Hardcore Mode, all unlockable items are saved for future use, after your character faces permadeath.
