Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2 Aliens Fireteam Elite 2 All

In Aliens: Fireteam Elite 2, collecting Intel is crucial for piecing together the game’s deeper story layers. Each mission holds two unique pieces of Intel, typically stored in WY PDAs scattered around key points, often near dead bodies. These documents provide important context about the Weyland-Yutani operations and alien threats that enrich the narrative experience as you progress.

However, simply finding Intel isn’t enough; you must complete the mission to save these collectibles to your inventory. Leaving early means losing that discovery and having to hunt it down again on another run.

These WY PDAs share the same in-game appearance, making it easier to spot them once you know what to look for. If you happen to pick up an Intel you’ve already secured, you’ll still earn a consolation of 50 credits, so scanning the environments thoroughly pays off every time.

This detailed breakdown covers every mission’s Intel locations, highlighting the exact spots and how to find them efficiently. Knowing where to look helps prevent frustrating backtracks and ensures you can focus on surviving each alien encounter while plundering every lore fragment.

Prologue – Banshee Down

The Prologue offers two key Intel pieces: Hits the Spot and Traitors. Both set the tone for the story and hint at the unfolding corporate conspiracies and alien threats.

Hits the Spot

Location: Cafeteria/Mess Hall

As the mission begins, leap through the broken window into the cafeteria. Upon entering, glance straight across the room. There’s a dead body leaning against one of the booths, and the Hits the Spot Intel lies just beside it.

This is one of the first collectible moments you’ll encounter, rewarding a thorough scan of your surroundings beyond the immediate threats.

Traitors

Location: Armory / Firing Range

Push onward through the mission until you reach the communication room and beyond into the armory section. Look for the firing range, marked by a backdrop with the word “Traitors”.

Underneath this display sits another dead body, with the second Intel piece placed right beside it. This spot rewards attentive exploration past mission goals.

Chapter 1 – Rescue and Recovery

The first chapter contains three missions, each hiding two Intel for a total of six collectibles that expand on the mission’s backstory and world-building.

2-1 Piping Hot

This mission offers W589BB and Dreaming Intel items.

Follow your objective until you arrive at the crash site. Near the dead body you investigate here, keep an eye out to the right on the ground where the W589BB Intel can be found.

Dreaming

Location: Life Support building

Progress until you battle a group of synthetics, which unlocks a new doorway leading to the Life Support building. Descend the stairs into the hive area here. The first console near you holds the Dreaming Intel.

2-2 Breaking and Entering

This mission contains the Writing Reports and Fauna Evaluation Intel.

Writing Reports

Once you reach the Trauma Room, clear enemies and resupply before proceeding. Outside, look straight ahead under the first spotlight to find the Fauna Evaluation Intel on the ground.

2-3 Synth Headache

Warship Inbound

Location: Communication building

Enter the communication building and clear out synthetics. You’ll need to activate two terminals to open a middle door leading upstairs to another terminal.

Before heading up, take a left and check beneath the stairs. The Warship Inbound Intel lies on the ground there.

After battling synthetics outdoors, head upstairs to the resupply crate. From there, stick close to the right-hand wall and continue around the corner to find the last Intel in the chapter on the ground.

Chapter 2 – Boarding Party

3-3 Sleep Study

Location: Near blast door past Cryopod section

After exiting the cryopod zone and fighting off a Xenomorph horde, you’ll encounter a door that requires cutting open. Once opened, turn around and head opposite to a non-interactive blast door. Look right next to that door for the Checking In Intel resting on a nearby cart.

Location: Final laboratory

At the mission’s end inside the lab, interact with the journal that triggers a cutscene. Near the right Xenomorph egg window lies the This Isn’t Worth It Intel on a nearby body. Collect it before the cutscene fully triggers, or you’ll have only a short window afterward to grab it.

Look for a tucked-away area containing a console with several monitors. There you can find the Hey Newbie intel.
