The game has been updated with the following hotfix.

Upcoming Changes

Alongside today’s hotfix, we wanted to give you a quick look at what’s ahead. Our team is continuing to work through your feedback, with our next major update planned for late October. It will include a range of fixes and improvements aimed at making the overall experience better. We’ll have more details to share as we get closer to release. 
 
Beyond October, we’re continuing to work on additional updates and content for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, including Horde Mode. We know many of you are eager to hear more about what’s next and we’re looking forward to sharing a detailed roadmap soon.

Weapons/Gameplay

  • Fixed a replication bug that was causing weapons to not do damage.

  • Fixed an issue with incorrect starting ammo applied by attachments and perks.

Crash Fixes

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when a Companion Bot attempted to revive you.  

Known Issues

  • This partial rollback re-introduces a previously fixed bug where you can overheat the EVI-87 Zvezda Plasma Rifle without ever firing a shot if you rapidly activate the fire button.

  • Jackpot has a bad interaction with heat weapons that could cause it to get into a bad state, we’ve temporarily changed it so it has no effect on heat weapons.

  • We are testing longer term changes for the next update that will avoid getting players in this state and improve how the perk is balanced overall.
