Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Bots Explained

What is confirmed about AI teammates and bots in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, including the limits of current evidence. Verified facts and limits.

Quick Answer

Bots fill fireteam slots in single-player. Preview coverage says the AI was substantially improved, but exact bot classes, scaling and high-difficulty performance are not officially documented in the supplied material.

What the bots are confirmed to do

Bots are the AI teammates that fill empty fireteam positions when a player runs the campaign solo. That is supported by the single-player listing and hands-on reporting. The safe expectation is a four-slot team structure with AI companions, not a solo mode that removes squad systems from the game.

“Improved AI” has a limited meaning

A preview describes the bots as substantially improved over the first game. That is useful evidence for a player considering solo play, but it is an observation rather than a complete rulebook. It does not establish named bot Marines, fixed class selection, difficulty scaling, loadout behavior, revive priorities or high-difficulty reliability; those details remain unconfirmed.

What is confirmed

Single-player support and hands-on reporting together establish that AI teammates are available.

The preview describes the bots as improved compared with the previous game.

Claims about bots scaling with difficulty come mainly from community discussion and should not be treated as confirmed AFE2 rules.

Limits and current status

It remains unconfirmed whether fixed named Marines replace generic bots or how their class selection works.
