For those playing on the normal or higher difficulty, knowing how to increase Combat Rating in Aliens: Fireteam Elite is key to surviving the later missions, especially when playing alone without human teammates. In a way that’s reminiscent of Destiny’s Power Level, a character’s Combat Rating shows how effective they are in battle. Missions also display a recommended Combat Rating, which players will want to closely match or exceed. Here’s how to increase it.
How to increase Combat Rating in Aliens: Fireteam Elite
To increase Combat Rating in Aliens: Fireteam Elite, players must do the following:
- Acquire and equip new loot.
- Loot can be found on missions inside of crates, as well as at the end of a level in the form of a reward.
- Purchase new gear in between missions.
- Heading to the store allows players to unlock additional weapons, attachments, and more.
- It might seem silly, but purchasing a sight for a weapon automatically increased its Combat Rating, which then applies to the player.
- Replay missions.
- For those that feel as though they’ve hit a wall with Combat Rating increases during the campaign, replaying previous missions can help to rank up and earn better loot rewards.
Follow the above steps to increase the Combat Rating of characters in Aliens: Fireteam Elite, helping to ensure survival against even the toughest missions. Of course, Combat Rating can only go so far, with teamwork and clever strategizing also necessary to win the day.
