Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 unveils heavy‑fire Marauder class

Cold Iron Studios released a new developer video for the upcoming co‑op shooter Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, showcasing the playable Marauder class. Designed as a heavy‑assault specialist, the Marauder carries a shoulder‑mounted Blast Cannon for close‑range crowd control and a Titan Rockets launcher for larger explosive payloads. Both weapons can be upgraded, with options such as Blastwave, Thermal Cannon, Phosphorous Rocket and deployable Rocket Mines.

The class also features two passive perks. “Rampage” grants increased fire rate, reload speed and movement after 25 enemy kills, while “Reactive Charges” fires a concussive blast when the Marine is hit by a melee attack, knocking back nearby foes. In addition to these abilities, the Marauder is equipped with a standard rifle and heavy weapons from the original game, including the M12A1 Rocket Launcher and the OCAP‑91 Volcan Heavy Flamethrower. The game is slated for release later this summer.
