BUG FIXES

GENERAL
Fixed a rare issue where some players could lose progress as well as access to some of the base Class Kits. We are still investigating solutions for impacted players, but have implemented a fix that should prevent this issue from occurring.


CLASS KITS, PERKS, & ABILITIES
RECON: The Got Your Back Perk should now be working correctly
.

COSMETICS
Fixed an issue where the UACM Cover was not showing when equipped.

This is the final update for Year One Roadmap.

SEASON 4: Prestige is here!

WELCOME TO CROSSPLAY

Crossplay on AFE means that players on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation will all be able to play with friends and match together, including Quickplay.
If you’re inviting a friend over to your fireteam, then all you need to do is:
In your in-game menu, go to Team > Crossplay > Add Crossplay Friends.

PRESTIGE

Rank up with Prestige

The Prestige system is for Marines looking to go beyond the call of duty.
If you’ve already reached the level 20 cap on your favorite Class Kits
and need an excuse to bring them back into the field, look no further.

After you reach level 20 with a Class Kit, you will start to earn experience toward Prestige ranks, starting at Rank 1 and going all the way up to Rank 100.
Leveling up will progressively require more experience in certain thresholds, but the rewards get more exciting as well.

All Prestige rewards are purely cosmetic, so you’re not missing out on any end game abilities,
but we do want to give the most dedicated marines enough bling to fuel their bragging rights.
Every 10 ranks you unlock new rewards, including:
Outfits & Head Accessories
New Nameplates
Weapon Colors (Animated and Standard) & Decals


RESTOCK TURRENTS (new game mode)

Protect Every Front With Restock Turrets
We’re excited to bring horde mode fans a new challenge with Restock Turrets. Having fixed turrets all around might lead you to think this new mode is a walk in the park, but hordes of Xenomorphs come from every direction this time around, and ammo is in limited supply.

"Unlike the original Horde Mode where you rely on what you’ve brought with you, in Restock Turrets the Colonial Marines have already set up a defensive perimeter of turrets near the pinnacle of Likasi Tower.
Turret ammo drops as you progress, and there’s not a lot to go around,
so you’ll need to make strategic decisions on which areas to support.
The Xenomorphs come from all angles, too, so you have to keep on your toes! I like to keep some turret ammo in reserve during the earlier waves so that later, when the pressure’s on, the turrets have my back."

There’s also a new set of rewards that you can unlock in this mode, affording you some additional bragging rights as well as a few new tricks.
You unlock rewards every 10 waves you survive, getting the option to keep going all the way up to 50 waves.
Rewards unlock based on difficulty, with higher difficulties allowing you to unlock the rewards from both that level and the levels below it.

CHALLENGE CARD FABRICATION ROLL THE DICE GET A BETTER CARD

New Challenge Card Features & Introducing The Fabrication Reprocessor

No mission plays the same way twice when challenge cards are in the mix and everyone has their favorites.
But what do you do with all those extra cards that you don’t want to use? That’s where the Fabrication Reprocessor comes into play.
This new device allows you to reroll your unwanted cards for new ones!

Input any three challenge cards you no longer want into the Fabrication Reprocessor and reroll them to get a different challenge card back.
It’s that simple!
The rarity of the input cards determines the rarity of the output.
So if you input only blue rare cards, you’re guaranteed to get a different rare card back.
If the input cards are of varying rarities, then the output chances will depend on which rarities you’re using.
You can’t get a purple exotic card if you only use rare and uncommon cards.

Another thing that we always wanted was to allow challenge cards in other game modes, such as Horde and Point Defense.
We’re excited to bring this feature to the game and it’s been a blast trying out various cards in these different gameplay environments!
However, not all cards are compatible with every mode.
Some cards will be restricted to Campaign missions only.

Challenge Cards
High-Threat Environment – Uncommon: 1.5x Credits – Players and Enemies deal 50% more damage.
Out of Shape – Uncommon: 1.5x Experience – Dodge-rolling once consumes all your Stamina.
Quality Over Quantity – Uncommon: 1.5x Experience – Xenomorph Runners, Synth Enforcers, and Pathogen Poppers spawn in reduced numbers, but are stronger.
Brink of Death – Uncommon: 1.5x Credits – If downed, you revive with only 1 Health.
Expendable Crew – Rare: 1.5x Experience & 1.5x Credits – A random weapon, a random Kit Ability, and Consumables are disabled.
I Can’t Miss! – Rare: No Bonus Rewards – Aim Assist for all weapons is increased by 50%.
Bad Feeling About This Op – Epic: 3x Experience – Enemies move faster and hit harder. They are much more difficult to Stumble and Stuns only last half as long.
Draw Three – Epic: No Bonus Rewards – Three Challenge Cards are granted upon Mission Completion.
Maybe We Got ’Em Demoralized – Epic: No Bonus Rewards – Powerful enemies are considerably weaker.
Note: Challenge Cards are available as randomized mission rewards, Tactical Opportunity rewards, or available for purchase with Requisition Credits from SSgt Park’s Armory in a randomized Challenge Card Pack.

NEW WEAPONS

CQW - M51 Breaching Scattergun: Early uses of the M51 were as both a breaching weapon and as a suppression device that could incapacitate large crowds where the wielder was under close threat. The double-shot burst results in wide coverage but minimal accuracy beyond very close range.

Hand Gun - DKT-59 Misha: The Misha, or "Little Bear," is modeled after the Medved and follows the same principles of devastating short range stopping power with frequent reloading.

Heavy - P.649 HEL: Only recently released by Weyland-Yutani’s experimental branch, the Project 649 High-Energy Laser is a fully weaponized variable-charge energy weapon. Highly accurate at long range, it brings a new form of combat to the standard Heavy Weapons Platform of the UACM.

Rifle - SVAT-92 Sokol: One of the only fully automatic Sniper Rifles to be approved for military service, the Sokol is effective at dealing with multiple threats from a distance. While it lacks the single target stopping power of traditional sniper rifles, it can also act as a medium-range Battle Rifle in a pinch.

FRONTIER FREELANCER PACK

Over 20 items including Class Kit skins, Emotes, Decals and more!

Stay protected on the frontier of the Outer Rim with Weyland-Yutani’s APEsuit Mk.3, or go with the more casual look and slide into a pair of Seegson Maintenance overalls.
This content and so much more is free for Deluxe Edition owners and is available as DLC for Standard Edition.

NEW WEAPONRY
Four new weapons guaranteed to help eradicate the Xenomorph infestation!

CQW: M51 Breaching Scattergun - Armat’s Double-shot burst shotgun with wide coverage, but minimal accuracy beyond close range.

Heavy: P.649 HEL - Weyland-Yutani's High-Energy Laser. A highly accurate, long range, ammo-based energy weapon with stronger charged shots.

Rifle: SVAT-92 Sokol - The only fully automatic Sniper Rifle. Effective against multiple long distance threats, but with less stopping power than traditional sniper rifles.

Hand Gun: DKT-59 Misha - Shotgun-like hand gun with devastating short range stopping power, but frequent reloading needs and low long range accuracy.

FRONTIER FREELANCER PACK
Over 20 items including Class Kit skins, Emotes, Decals and more!
Stay protected on the frontier of the Outer Rim with Weyland-Yutani’s APEsuit Mk.3!
