Aliens Fireteam Elite Pathogen Gameplay Features a Look at the Game’s First-Ever Boss Fight

Aliens Fireteam Elite update 1.35

Aliens Fireteam Elite is set to get its first premium DLC next week with the Pathogen expansion, and if you’re curious what new content it’ll bring, wonder no more, as the Aliens Fireteam Elite Pathogen gameplay trailer is here, and it even shows us the game’s first boss!

Pathogen will introduce an all-new campaign to players. This new mission explores the deadly effects of the black goo infection inspired by the Alien universe. 

In the trailer, we get to see the new weapons and other new content included in the expansion. Of course, the highlight here is a look at the first head-to-head boss encounter in Aliens Fireteam Elite! Three-person fireteams will have to coordinate and help each other to take out the mutated Xenomorph Queen.

The Pathogen Expansion features the following content:

  • 3 New Missions as a part of the Pathogen campaign, featuring new enemies and the Pathogen Queen boss fight!
  • 8 New Weapons, 2 for each weapon type
  • 1 New Perk for each Class Kit that modifies the player’s main ability
  • 13 New Weapon Attachments that modify stats and grant special traits
  • 2 New Outfits and 6 Head Accessories
  • 21 New Weapon Colors and 10 Decals for gun customization
  • 10 New Emotes for interacting within Fireteams

There are also two new editions launching with the base game:

  • The Ultimate Edition Upgrade for owners of Aliens: Fireteam Elite, which will include the Pathogen expansion as well as all 5 Endeavor Pass cosmetic DLCs for $29.99
