Players returning to the alien-infested corridors of Alien: Fireteam Elite 2 will find a necessary stability patch arriving today. Cold Iron Studios released Update 1.003 on September 29 to address critical gameplay breaks that have hindered recent sessions. This hotfix targets specific replication errors and crash triggers that disrupted cooperative play across all supported platforms.
Update 1.003 resolves critical gameplay breaks and crash triggers
The primary fix resolves a replication bug that caused weapons to deal zero damage. This issue effectively neutralized player offense during firefights, making standard progression impossible until the patch deployed. The studio also corrected incorrect starting ammo values applied by various attachments and perks, restoring expected loadout balance.
Technical stability received equal attention with a fix for a crash occurring when a Companion Bot attempted to revive a player. This specific crash loop prevented squad members from recovering in high-intensity combat scenarios. The update applies to all platforms without requiring additional downloads beyond the standard patch process.
Known issues remain in the codebase, including an overheating bug for the EVI-87 Zvezda Plasma Rifle. Players will also encounter interaction problems between the Jackpot perk and heat-based weapons. Cold Iron Studios plans to address these remaining defects in a major patch scheduled for late October.
