Happy Alien Day, Colonial Marines. The original Alien film takes place on the moon Acheron, or LV-426. So every 4/26 we get to celebrate the movie that started it all, and the incredible Alien fans.

In celebration of Alien Day, we’re dropping a new quality-of-life update for Aliens: Fireteam Elite that makes two really exciting changes to the game.

Firstly, we know that a lot of our players have been frustrated with the in-game currency cap of 50,000 credits. With this patch, we’re doubling the cap to 100K so you can safely hoard and collect even more credits than before!

Secondly, we know how much you love using challenge cards - and how much fun and replayability they add to each mission. We also know, though, that losing challenge cards when a mission is failed or a host drops out is frustrating. Plus, the grind to get enough currency to unlock more can be a hassle. That’s why, with this update, challenge card packs in SSGT Park’s shop are now FREE!

That’s all for now - happy Alien Day marines!
