📋 About This Mod
The mod replaces all Xenos with Pathogens. The Pathogens differ from those on C3-M3 and C5-M2/3, which means they have new skins, effects, abilities, damage values, etc. Those from C3-M3 and C5-M2/3 remain non-modded.
❗️ Mod Caution ❗️
The mod works only when each of the players has the mod. The mod doesn't work for console players.
The way to put the mod (.pak file) in:
Steam\ steamapps\ common\ Aliens Fireteam Elite\ Endeavor\ Content\ Paks\ ~paks
There's no ~paks folder in the Paks folder by default, so just create it and put the mod file (.pak file) into it.

– The pathogens from the mod have the team number of Xenos, so if using a WPTO challenge card and having a Stalker or Brute spawn, the modded pathogens will fight the non-modded.
– A new card added – Pathogen Swarm V2.
