Aliens Fireteam 2 Enemies: Xenomorph And Pathogen Profiles
The Exploder, Siren, and Warden are the new Xenomorph castes in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, joined by the Harbinger and the returning Striker on the pathogen side, by Dr. Pearce's Engineer hybrids on the buried hull, and by the Bulwark crab automata. Cold Iron Studios built those roles to break a held line: a suicide blast, a living alarm, a knockdown bruiser, a grapple hunter, and a club-armed pursuer. Returning hive types such as the Drone and the Crusher share the same missions as Fireteam Chimaera.
Bulwark: The Crab-Robots Of Fireteam 2 Explained
The Bulwark was a Combat Automaton in Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, a heavily armored ground crawler with hard-to-hit weak points. It lunged at Marines, knocked them down, and shut down under EMP and electrical hits. Spider and Huntsman crabs shared the same chassis family.
