How to Unlock the Specialist in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2

What have the developers officially confirmed?

• The Specialist is one of six playable classes at launch — five base classes plus the Specialist.
• The Specialist is the customizable endgame class, designed around player-driven customization rather than a fixed kit.

What is still being verified?

• The exact unlock condition (level, campaign progress, challenge or other requirement).
• Whether the Specialist unlocks per-account or per-character.
• Which customization slots the Specialist opens up once unlocked.

What should you do in the meantime?

Since the Specialist is officially the endgame class, the reliable path is simple: progress your account. Play the campaign, level your base classes and complete endgame activities — the unlock will surface along the way. We are monitoring the official Discord and in-game behavior, and will post the verified requirement here first.

While you wait, get familiar with the six classes and the build system so you are ready to customize the moment the Specialist unlocks.
