While it’s best played in co-op, it’s not always easy to find players in Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Instead of filling your team with smart human players, empty slots are instead filled by the two synth bots, Alpha and Beta. For those wondering why they can’t find other people, here’s the need-to-know info about the Aliens: Fireteam Elite can’t find players fix.
How to fix Aliens: Fireteam Elite can’t find players
To fix the Aliens: Fireteam Elite can’t find players issue, players can do the following to find other people:
- Search using a different difficulty.
- Trying a different difficulty setting opens up the matchmaking pool. If trying to play on Easy or Hard, set it to Medium instead.
- Toggle Challenge Cards on or off.
- If you have Challenge Cards disabled, enable them, and vice versa.
- Choose a different level.
- Level choice has a big impact on matchmaking. At the time of writing, the game has only just launched, meaning players have a better chance of finding others in the earlier missions.
- Use tools outside of the game to find teammates.
- Social media and forums can be great ways of finding like-minded players. I’ve personally found success through Reddit, Twitter, and Discord.
By following the above steps, players can ensure that they have the best chance of filling their squad slots with real-life humans. Players should never have to go alone, especially in the fight against aliens!
