How Builds Work in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2
AFE2 builds explained: how classes, abilities, perks, weapons, Weapon Traits, Augments and elemental damage combine into a mission-ready loadout.
A build in AFE2 combines your class with abilities, perks, weapons and the weapon customization systems the official site confirms: Weapon Traits, Augments and Fire Modes — plus elemental damage choices.
How does a build come together?
- Class — pick one of the five base classes or the endgame Specialist.
- Abilities and perks — major and minor abilities plus perk choices (exact options being verified in-game).
- Weapons — primary and secondary picks; see the weapons hub.
- Weapon Traits and Augments — officially confirmed customization layers; specifics being verified.
- Element — elemental damage choices to match the mission and enemy types.
What is coming to the builds hub?
We are planning an interactive AFE2 Build Planner — pick class, abilities, perks, weapons, Trait, Augments and element, then share a build URL. It is listed as Planned in the footer and will ship once the underlying build data is verified.
Where do I go next?
- Best Class — pick the right class before you build
- Best Weapons — use-case weapon picks
- Horde Mode — compositions for escalating waves
