Are There Bonuses for Playing the First Game?
No launch bonus for owning or playing the first Aliens: Fireteam Elite is confirmed in the supplied official material. Verified facts and limits.
No confirmed loyalty or veteran reward exists in the supplied launch material. Community members asked for one, but official pages and patch notes do not list a bonus for having played the first game.
No launch loyalty reward is confirmed
The supplied launch material does not list a reward for owning or playing the first Aliens: Fireteam Elite, including the official launch patch notes reviewed for this page. The accurate conclusion is not that a bonus can never exist; it is that no loyalty or veteran reward is confirmed for the launch version.
A community request is not an implemented bonus
Discussion of a veteran insignia was a request from players, not evidence of a reward already in the game. Returning themes, classes, weapons or story elements are ordinary game content, not ownership bonuses. A later promotion could change this answer, so the page keeps the scope to the verified launch state.
What is confirmed
Community discussion about a veteran insignia was a request, not evidence of an implemented reward.
Returning classes, weapons or story elements are game content, not ownership bonuses.
The lack of save carry-over is consistent with a fresh start, but it is not by itself proof that no cosmetic reward can ever be added.
Limits and current status
A later loyalty promotion could change this answer; the current conclusion is for version 1.0 at launch.
