Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Unveils the Marauder Class — New Trailer Reveals the Squad's Most Devastating Heavy Fighter

Cold Iron Studios has released a brand-new trailer for Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, introducing the explosive Marauder class. Described by the developers as the fireteam's "force multiplier," the heavily armed Marine specializes in overwhelming firepower, combining devastating ranged weapons with brutal close-quarters attacks to become one of the game's most destructive frontline soldiers.

The Marauder is equipped with an impressive arsenal designed to keep Xenomorph swarms under control. The class features dual shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, concussive grenades capable of staggering large groups of enemies, a devastating flamethrower for close-range encounters, and a powerful missile barrage ability that can quickly turn the tide of battle. Unlike the customizable Specialist class revealed earlier, the Marauder focuses on raw offensive power, making it an ideal choice for players who prefer aggressive combat and crowd control.

The latest showcase also reinforces Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2's emphasis on four-player cooperative gameplay. Every class is designed to complement the others, encouraging squads to combine their abilities while fighting through increasingly dangerous encounters against Xenomorphs, Pathogen creatures, and Weyland-Yutani combat synths. According to Cold Iron Studios, the sequel expands every aspect of the original game with larger battlefields, improved AI companions, deeper progression systems, and enhanced class synergy.

Currently scheduled for release in Summer 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 continues to reveal new gameplay features ahead of launch. With the addition of the devastating Marauder class and its explosive arsenal, the sequel is shaping up to deliver even bigger battles and more intense cooperative action, giving Colonial Marines more firepower than ever before in their war against the Xenomorph threat.
