Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Best Perks for Each Class

The best perk for each class is the one that strengthens that class's stated job: damage perks for a tested damage window, control perks for lane pressure, and sustain perks when the squad needs recovery. Start with [Perks](/games/aliens-fireteam-elite-2/weapons-and-perks/perks/), then match the grid to [Best Class](/games/aliens-fireteam-elite-2/classes-and-builds/best-class/) and the weapon range you actually use.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Perks Guide

Build the perk grid around the abilities and weapons you use every encounter. Prioritize reliable cooldown, area, handling, or survival improvements for one role, and recheck Patch 1 because the launch notes fixed several perks that did not function correctly in multiplayer or after revival.
