Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 hasn’t been afraid to show off what its varied classes are capable of, each of them bringing something special to the battlefield against Xenomorphs whose nasty disposition and superior numbers mean you’re going to need every advantage you can get.

Well, the Specialist is a great way to go about that. We’ve seen a glimpse of this endgame class that lets you mix and match between all abilities and perks from other classes, with the potential for truly devastating setups. Well, Cold Iron has taken to Steam to show off one such combination, which blends the Machinist’s area control with the Hunter’s raw damage output, along with the appropriate upgrades and perks lined up to make short work of any hostiles.

It’s clear that this class is going to take a while to get your hands on, but what’s impressive is that the developers are as eager as they are to get you started on creating builds ahead of the game’s release, although it’s only a week away at this point. We’re wondering what we can come up with, and can’t wait to see what the best of you bring to the fight against Xenomorphs, Synths and whatever else is lurking in the dark.
