01 / THE GUIDE
Campaign Exploration
Four campaigns unfold on LV‑895, guiding players through open areas, tight corridors and underground chambers. The narrative pushes you to uncover what lies beneath the planet’s surface while confronting waves of Xenomorphs.
Each campaign requires balancing aggressive fire with defensive positioning, using terrain to create choke points that limit enemy movement and buying time for your fireteam to reach safety.
- Observe enemy spawn patterns before committing to a push.
- Use terrain features to funnel Xenomorphs into tighter spaces.

Class Progression
The game provides seven unique classes, each with its own kit of two abilities and access to over 130 perks. Leveling within a class unlocks perks alongside its two abilities, allowing players to specialize or diversify.
Experience can be spread across any combination of classes, letting you shape the fireteam’s overall capability based on which abilities and perks you prefer.
- Try different class combos to see which abilities complement each other.
- Consider which abilities best support your preferred weapon type.

Weapon Customisation
A broad arsenal ranging from magnums and SMGs to rocket launchers is available. Weapons improve their stats the more they are used, rewarding consistent play with a more powerful weapon.
Choosing a weapon that matches the encounter—rapid‑fire SMGs for swarms or rocket launchers for tougher foes—can change the outcome of a firefight.
- Match fire rate to enemy density for efficient damage.
- Consider weapon range when planning defensive positions.
