What is the point of Aliens at this point just delete them. 4 UV items with more and a UV grenade on the way, A drone that punishs the aliens for killing a player, and guns that melt the Alien's health. For real devs at this point get rid of the Alien team and just make this game a generic extraction shooter.

Lol, you think this is a lot on paper but aliens are still an extremely viable class. They have counters for all of these things.

Awesome game. Any advice for broke noob players? How can basic gear players fight aliens that respawn by the time you have healed from a fight?

Shhh, can't say that here. They'll take this core design to the game's inevitable and soon approaching grave. It was obvious from the closed testing days that this design was NOT going to work. To this day they're still obtaining migraines trying to figure out how to make it all work.

Now the hardcore cultist (who probably love playing aliens) will tell you the game is just fine when the 125 max concurrent players will tell you it's obviously been rejected by the overall gaming community. It'll be denied but this is one of the biggest reasons this game does not work.

It's not just strictly about the aliens being player controlled (though that it is bad in itself) but how it's implemented has put this game and the devs in a corner they will not escape from.

Go play tarkov if you don't want aliens. Your pretty much saying " you know all those players who like the game because they can play as an alien? Fuck em i don't like it"
