Solid build. Personally i don't normally see the need to put as much to onslaught, it lasts long enough to kill an elite and while its 60sec CD is long most elites also spawn about 60sec apart so i dont think 5% damage is worth 3 slots when the extra duration means you then need another 3 slots of CDR to have it available again for the next elite spawn. So i just take a but load of CQW masteries since thats your main source of damage - focusing on accuracy, RoF and weakspot damage with something like the medved you can hit 10k+ shots which is absurd and allows you to delete elites - and then using the heavy weapon for CC and ammo management on the CQW. Edit: also back me up is insanely good, you stand in front, everyone behind gets a damage bonus, you get recon synergy having him reload your guns and give you CDR with each runner he kills.
My dude, I just started playing this after a hiatus of this game, saw the lancer, saw the stuff it could unlock and basically built this exact build lol it's very similar to my old demolisher build because they have such good perks for grenade launcher spam with knockdown lol
I been off this game for awhile. Kinda wanting to dive back in but wanted to do something that no one else is doing. And I got to say. You really cracked it with this. Ty.
Good info on stunning with mini lances. I haven't tried this buffed seige mode in lieu of buffed CQW. Looks like very fun play style, seige mode is cool
Just picked up the game last night and am really loving the idea of the lancer. I would love to see a comparison of the DPS between the heirloom and some of the other shotguns. Admittedly I am having a hard time finding weapon recommendations with good data to back up the claims.
I just maximized the recharge and damage of the particle lance. Esp on intense or extreme i can one shot just about any fodder even synthetics. Rather just get them out of the way and snipe them from a distance. It takes me 17 seconds to recharge the lance. And if elites get too close i just pop onslaught with either the pump or the 2 shot shotgun and finish them off with the lance if needed
The Medved is one of the recommendations in the video, but building around it seems moot. You'll mostly be using Onslaught to kill big red elites, so why perk into something you'll only use sometimes? Also, most of the time, by the time Onslaught ends, the big red elite is either dead or in a lot of trouble regardless if you havd CQW perks or not. And, the Heirloom also buffs the damage of your team with Polygonal Rifling, and I believe that an increase in team damage will always be higher than an increase in damage for a single person.
@Psyqhical you don't need heavy perks when using the micro burst. CQW PERKS will boost your medveds fire rate n reload giving you the best use during onslaught n normal use. You can melt crushers in 3 or 4secs. With the right set up you can blast out near 200k damage in just a few secs by yourself. Even without a gunners overclock it's still deadly af. Do a build around the medved with the Lancer. Let me know your thoughts. Recommend the micro bursts as your heavy, tho. It's my favorite heavy to use for extreme or higher cuz I never need perks for it. Cheers
Most challenge cards have information at the bottom of the card explaining what they do. As for the spawn tables, I have no clue. People say that certain cards (like Human Tanks) interfere with spawn tables, but I cannot find any sources or numbers on that. 🤷♂️
That'd defeat the purpose of watching the video. Content Creators don't get money if their videos aren't being watched. The longer you watch, the higher their videos get recommended and the more they'll earn. I know it's frustrating, but people don't watch my videos fully, I'll get lowered in the YT Algorythms and my vids won't get recommended, which means less viewers, less followers, less income,...
@@PsyqhicalYou should really look about as some big time creators on various games. Your logic is sound on paper, but it doesn't work out in reality. The biggest build guide people are posting links to their builds and putting divider links in their videos to help people navigate.
That is a good question. I have no clue. I think I pronounce it that way cause the J is usually pronounced that way in English. Think of the name "Raj" or Alladin's "Jafar".
@@Psyqhical I honestly prefer the Impact grenade launcher over the Vajra now that I finally warmed up with explosives. I have seen a lot of people play these fast firing mini grenade launchers and they spam all mission long but end up with the least damage output at the end of the mission. Edit: worst part about the spamming instead of placing deliberate shots is you see a lot of them get tunnel vision and not noticing something creeping up to the side or behind them.
For this build? Not really. The Vajra is the only gun that synergises with this build. You can use the Impact Grenade or Heavy Assault, but you'd lose a lot of slow effects. 😕
@@amess6232 no, just Intense or higher. You can do a mission and take a card that gives you an attachment on completion. Quick Charge 2 I got from leveling my classes up.
Well, any weapon will do, basically. It's just that the Vajra has that Crowd Control and, if you own the Pathogen DLC, it's easy to obtain since Sergeant Park sells it.
@@callmesenpaidesu1506 Yup. once you complete a mission, you can see what you gained. A Hidden Cache will even display what it gave you the moment you open it.
Things can drop during a mission (Intense+) or are locked in Hidden Caches. Hidden Caches are boxes in missions that you'll have to find and they can have weapons, perks and attachments.
I just really don’t understand the infatuation with music overlays. It doesn’t match the pace of the audio. The point of the video is for relaying information so play hyfeass music loud af over the top. It’s poor editing and a major distraction for most people especially people with auditory processing disorders. Music is used for transitions when important information is being relayed. I’m sure the content of the video is good but I’ll never know.
@Heavysleeper14 I agree some of these youtubers always feel the need to put on unnecessary music in videos like these. It's annoyingly cringe and so 2005. Over the years I've learned to just mute the audio soon as I hear music. Then put on subtitles in case the UA-camr has an annoying voice.
Statistics are for the creator, not the users. If your statistic shows "meh", you have to improve. Build in the "like and subscribe" earlier and not at the end of the video and so on. I dislike content creators that shove this into my face, especially when the content, voice and princible is good! Stay crunchy.
Jumping back into AFTE with the news of a sequel coming! Great build- thank you for these videos!
They releasing a new game ? Or u talking about the movie
"Aliens Fireteam Elite 2" has apparently leaked on reddit, but I don't believe the leaks.

Lancer is op and has been my main since the update came out
been looking for a good lancer build for insane! thanks

In this build, we're not picking up the Heirloom cause of its damage, we're taking it for the Fire Rate and +10% teamwide damage increase.
Vajra + Overclock = Heavy weapon go brrrrrrr
Carpet bombing initiated!
Would love to sees another gunner or engineer build of yours. You definitely have the most fun builds on yt.
Just started playing this build looks sick I’m gonna do it but on demolition
I still like Aliens Fireteam Elite better than Aliens Dark Descent this game is just more fun

I love your content highly informative and really helped me out im telling all my friends about your videos hopefully it helps them cheers bro 🎉
Thanks, really appreciate it. 😁
Damn. I think things were changed. I see a particle burst and particle wave, but no particle pulse.
It's a DLC perk. You get it after completing the Pathogen DLC missions.
@@Psyqhical Ah. Thank you.
Medved+overclock+onslaught will give you the highest quickest damage in the game. Just make the build around the Medved with CQW perks.

Within the First Hour!
Is your game modded? I swear to god she's the spitting image of Ashley from The Boys at 1:00 lmao
Nope
probably very late, I just bought the game and the Pathogen DLC. I don't have the particle pulse ability. Do I unlock it somewhere ?
Yes, you get them after completing the Pathogen DLC Campaign. 👍
@@Psyqhical Ah perfect, thanks was wondering how I got it. Also thanks for the fast response
Do you stream playing AFTE?
Not at the moment. Just bought Marvel Midnight Suns while on Sale. So currently streaming that. 🤣
If you haven’t done this already, could you please make a video on how the challenge cards work and how each one affects the spawn tables stop thanks
Most challenge cards have information at the bottom of the card explaining what they do. As for the spawn tables, I have no clue.
People say that certain cards (like Human Tanks) interfere with spawn tables, but I cannot find any sources or numbers on that. 🤷♂️
What happened to particle pulse I can’t find it ?
DLC exclusive.
I am missing some of the level two skills, ie recharge one. Where do I get those?
These are DLC perks.
@Psyqhical Ah, guess I need to do more intense?
No no, Pathogen DLC.
How did you get the Prometheus suits? I bought the Pathogen DLC but mine is missing the orange stripes
Orange stripes is female version.
every guide keeps talking about the particle pulse but i don't see it, was it removed ?
No no, you just need to unlock it. You unlock it by completing the Pathogen Campaign.
I cant decide between my demo or lancer, who do you guys think is better?
Demo.
ua-cam.com/video/kSRdGyk72UQ/v-deo.html
I like this game but player base is so low. Around 500, takes ages to find lobby :(
Yeah, I know.
Where do I get particle pulse?
That from the Pathogen DLC. It adds 3 new missions and, upon completion, gives you new ability perks.
How do you unlock the particle pulse mod?
By completing the last DLC Pathogen mission (Chapter 5, Mission 3)
@Psyqhical Thanks for the quick reply homie. That deserves a subscribe
what level do you need to be to unlock pulse modifier for particle lance ?
It's unlocked after beating the Pathogen DLC Campaign.
How do you get the vajra?
Armory once you have the pathogen dlc
Someone beat me to it. 😋
Did they remove Particle Pulse?
Particle Pulse is from the Pathogen DLC. Complete the story and you'll unlock it.
Please put your builds in the video description thx

What if the Vajra wasn't pronounced as Vah Gsh Ra but Vay Ra. Where like Jarl, the J is pronounced like a Y?
That is a good question. I have no clue. I think I pronounce it that way cause the J is usually pronounced that way in English. Think of the name "Raj" or Alladin's "Jafar".
@@Psyqhical Indeed it is a strange and unique name so po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe I suppose.
Or Vadge-Ruh
Ew 🤣
How can the Demolisher use a Shotgun? I can use only Heavy Weapons and Rifle
Cause it's not the Demolisher.
How do you get mini lances and vajra?
Pathogen DLC. Vajra can be bought and mini lances unlock when uou complete the DLC on any difficulty.
@@Psyqhical :c
Where do I get the heirloom shotgun?
DLC
what are good overall non dlc weapons?
Pump Shotty, Kramer, an Impact Grenade Launcher. 👍
@@Psyqhical thank u 🙏

Can you recommend for me some heavy weapon good to this build pls
The Vajra with Miller Twist Rifling.
I mean except Vajra cause it hard for me to use that gun
For this build? Not really. The Vajra is the only gun that synergises with this build. You can use the Impact Grenade or Heavy Assault, but you'd lose a lot of slow effects. 😕
@@Psyqhical ty for the answer boss, i'll learn how to use that gun hehe
how did you unlock the assault brake?
I think I got it from Restock Turrets. 🤔
@@Psyqhical Was that on insane mode? One other question where did you find quick charge 2?
@@amess6232 no, just Intense or higher. You can do a mission and take a card that gives you an attachment on completion.
Quick Charge 2 I got from leveling my classes up.
@@Psyqhical I got the assault brake finally. I did the self destruct challenge card. That was hard.
How do I get that shotgun ?
The Heirloom? Iirc, it was from the endeavor DLC.
How do I get vajra and the pump gun
Vajra is Pathogen DLC and the pump shotty is something you get from th beginning, iirc. 🤔
However, the Heirloom Shotgun (seen in the vid) is also DLC
@@Psyqhical and the pulse ability ?also dlc ?
@lukasaydogan2079 yeah, finish the Pathogen DLC.
@@Psyqhical ok thx man love you
How do I get a quick charge 2??
I got mine from Horde Mode, iirc. 🤔
what if i dont have the vajra ?
Well, any weapon will do, basically. It's just that the Vajra has that Crowd Control and, if you own the Pathogen DLC, it's easy to obtain since Sergeant Park sells it.
what's that internal mag?
For the Vajra? Expanded Reserves.
@@Psyqhical and that drops as u said yes?
@@callmesenpaidesu1506 Yup. once you complete a mission, you can see what you gained. A Hidden Cache will even display what it gave you the moment you open it.
@@Psyqhical so play lancer early game for fun but switch to demo end game?
@@Psyqhical and tsm for the info pls make more videos or reupload bc its now free on ps so more people are playing
whre do i find these the shop dont have them
Things can drop during a mission (Intense+) or are locked in Hidden Caches.
Hidden Caches are boxes in missions that you'll have to find and they can have weapons, perks and attachments.
@@Psyqhical oh god. ok well i have half the build attachments ill farm hidden chest till i can do intense i just started
What is atached to overwatch ?
How do i unlock omniscience ?
It's either through level up or Hidden Cache.
This build still Viable?
Of course. No balance patches have been made since.
Thank you just got into it and realy like the lancer
can anyone help with extreme difficulty
If you go to the AFE Reddit, you can find the Discord Server for AFE. It'll be easier to find people there. 😋
