Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Friendly Fire Guide
Friendly fire is reported on higher difficulties in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2; exact thresholds and exemptions remain unconfirmed. Source checked.
Friendly fire is reported to activate on higher difficulties. The supplied evidence supports the general rule, but not a reliable exact difficulty threshold or a complete list of attacks that are exempt.
What changes on higher difficulty
The supplied preview and community material agree on the important rule: higher difficulties introduce friendly-fire risk. The page does not name a precise threshold because the evidence does not reliably establish one. Treat the feature as a reason to change squad habits as difficulty rises, not as a numerical rule borrowed from the first game.
Practical rules that do not invent mechanics
Use clear firing lanes, keep spacing, and communicate before firing through a teammate’s position. These are practical consequences of friendly-fire risk, not claims about hidden damage formulas. The supplied sources do not confirm which skills, turrets, explosives or other damage sources are exempt, so this guide does not tell players that a particular tool is safe to use behind allies.
What is confirmed
Media preview coverage and community reports agree that harder settings introduce friendly-fire risk.
Practical play should therefore emphasize firing lanes, spacing and communication once difficulty increases.
Claims that specific skills, turrets or other damage sources are exempt are not confirmed for AFE2.
Limits and current status
Do not rely on rules remembered from the first game; the supplied material does not prove they carry over unchanged.
