Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Achievements Guide

Use a practical roadmap and searchable directory to complete all 30 achievements without wasting campaign, class, or weapon progress.

Direct answer

Finish the 30 achievements efficiently by clearing the campaigns first, combining compatible difficulty and equipment goals, spreading weapon experience across ten guns, and saving the long combat counters for normal campaign and Horde play.

Quick answer

  • The Steam achievement list contains 30 achievements.
  • Campaign progress creates natural progress toward combat, collection, class, and weapon goals.
  • A clean Intense-or-higher mission can meet both Hardened Trooper and Pure Professionals when the exact conditions are satisfied.
  • Worst Party Ever and Head Hunter received specific unlock fixes, so update the game before repeating their requirements.

Plan a Clean 30-Achievement Run

Treat the list as five connected workstreams instead of 30 unrelated chores. Campaign clears open the broadest path, while weapon levels, enemy eliminations, attachments, cosmetics, and class missions can progress during those same runs.

PhaseMain targetsWhat to combine
1. Campaign routeSix named campaign achievements plus Legionnaire's Service MedalUse different weapons and collect attachments, Augments, and cosmetics while advancing the story.
2. Loadout setupNot Just For Decoration, Fully Loaded, Next Top Marine, Yellow Makes It Shoot BetterComplete exact equipment requirements in the Hub before starting another mission.
3. Difficulty clearsHardened Trooper, Noble Soldier, Fervent Warrior, Pure ProfessionalsAttempt the no-friendly-fire condition with an Intense-or-higher clear. Keep separate proof for each named difficulty requirement.
4. Progression routeHell and Back, Seasoned Veteran, Maxed Out, Well Stocked Arsenal, Custom Made MarineRotate weapons until ten reach two stars, then push a preferred weapon to four stars and finish the Specialist mission count.
5. CleanupCombat totals, collection totals, Worthiness Tested, Wave GoodbyeUse campaign replays, Challenge runs, and Horde to finish counters without creating a separate grind too early.
  1. Clear every named campaign on Casual or higher while changing weapons before one option absorbs all available experience.
  2. Complete the four quick loadout and cosmetic requirements as soon as the required items are available.
  3. Raise one Kit toward Rank 10, fill its perk board, and unlock the Specialist before scheduling five Specialist mission clears.
  4. Run the required Intense, Extreme, and Insane missions deliberately, then verify the no-friendly-fire condition with the whole squad.
  5. Use Challenge and Horde sessions to finish enemy, headshot, collection, and remaining weapon progress.

Combine Campaign and Difficulty Goals

The campaign group has six named completion achievements and one all-campaign achievement. A full clear on Casual or higher provides the cleanest base because it satisfies each named story requirement as you reach it and works toward Legionnaire's Service Medal.

DecisionRecommended approachCompletion check
First story clearStay at a difficulty the squad can finish consistentlyConfirm each named Campaign completion as its final mission ends.
First Intense clearPick a familiar mission and remove explosive or wide-area friendly-fire risksHardened Trooper should meet its condition when the mission completes.
Pure Professionals attemptUse Intense or higher and make zero friendly-fire hits across the entire squadThe run must finish with no player taking friendly-fire damage.
Extreme and InsaneSchedule separate clears matching the wording of Noble Soldier and Fervent WarriorVerify each achievement after completing its named difficulty.

For Pure Professionals, squad discipline matters more than raw speed. Establish firing lanes, avoid crossing in front of a teammate who is already shooting, and reserve explosive or flame weapons for angles with clear space. A single clean Intense run can meet the written conditions for both Pure Professionals and Hardened Trooper.

Stack Weapon, Kit, and Collection Progress

Weapon progression has two different shapes. Hell and Back asks for one four-star weapon, while Well Stocked Arsenal asks for ten weapons at two stars. Rotate through ten weapons early, then keep a preferred option equipped until it reaches four stars. This prevents a maxed favorite from absorbing missions that could advance another weapon toward the ten-weapon threshold.

GoalEfficient checkpointAvoid this mistake
One four-star weaponKeep one reliable weapon as the long-term projectSwitching away every mission before any weapon reaches four stars.
Ten two-star weaponsMaintain a simple ten-weapon checklistCounting weapons that have only reached one star.
Kit Rank 10Keep a dependable Kit active through campaign and cleanup runsRepeatedly changing Kits when rank progress is the immediate target.
Full perk boardFill every visible slot on one boardAssuming unlocked perks count while board slots remain empty.
Five Specialist missionsUnlock Specialist, equip the Kit, and count completed missionsCounting missions played before Specialist was equipped.

Attachments and Augments support three achievements. Equip any compatible attachment on a sidearm for Not Just For Decoration. For Fully Loaded, choose one weapon and verify every attachment position plus the Augment position is occupied. Collection totals require 50 weapon attachments and 5 Augments, so keep earning new parts even after the equipment achievements unlock.

The Specialist unlock guide explains when to transition from base-class progression to the five Specialist mission clears.

Finish Combat, Challenge, and Horde Cleanup

Do not isolate the large elimination totals during the first campaign pass. Every Xenomorph, Pathogen, Synthetic, Combat Automaton, and headshot earned during campaign or mode-specific work reduces the remaining cleanup.

AchievementReliable task definitionPractical pairing
Another Bug Hunt10,000 Xenomorph eliminationsCampaign replays and Horde sessions with Xenomorph-heavy encounters.
Purge the Unclean1,000 Pathogen eliminationsRevisit activities where Pathogen are the active enemy faction.
Spilled Milk1,000 Synthetic eliminationsUse Synthetic encounters while deliberately aiming for headshots.
Decommission Mission1,000 Combat Automaton eliminationsPair Automaton encounters with weapon and Kit leveling.
Head Hunter1,000 headshot killsUse controllable weapons and prioritize enemies with readable weak points.
Worthiness TestedAttempt one Challenge runStart the run when the squad can also advance campaign, weapon, or combat goals.
Wave GoodbyeSurvive five Horde wavesEquip a stable build and treat wave five as the required checkpoint.

The counter wording says eliminate or get kills, so build the cleanup around actions credited to your profile. If progress seems slower than expected, stop changing several variables at once. Use one enemy faction, one weapon, and one short session, then check whether the expected achievement progress moved.

When troubleshooting, repeat only the smallest requirement that can prove the issue. Avoid replaying an entire campaign when the missing condition is a loadout action, one Horde checkpoint, or a counter that can be tested in a short encounter.
