That Mecha enemy in Xcom

[Cerveza mas fina]

 

Two shots per turn? Artillery?

 

Ofc he still can't kill my troops but he does make em injured, any tips bros?

My current setup: 2 heavy, 2 sniper, 1 support, 1 assault
Plasma weapons and titan armour

[mjemirzian]

Squadsight snipers with plasma rifles and archangel armor supported by ghost armor spotters.

Basically turns any outdoor map into a turkey shoot.

Heavies can also get a skill that does more damage to robotic enemies. Helps a lot.

[archnemesis]

I mostly used my sniper to take them out. They could be a nuisance in the original game too.

Can I respect cause I don't have it?

Im 20 hours in and no one died.

[Phoenix Dark]

Having two snipers on your squad is a good idea, especially in the later missions. Don't be afraid to flank it with assault or heavies on both sides while your snipers destroy it from afar.

And NEVER group of your dudes against that thing, unless you want artillery to fuck multiple squad members up. It won't crit, but having two guys get hit with 6-7 damage isn't helpful.

Nope, you have to level a newbie, which can be a headache.

[Phoenix Dark]

I used to restart missions whenever my favorite unit members died lol. I decided to stop cheating though, and just am more careful in how I play

How long is this game anyway?

I just encountered those mechs now.

[Rufus]

Depends. You're close to the end if you have to build a certain technology and build a special suit.

I did 24 hours.  I could have ended it at 18-20 had I understood some of the facility mechanics better.

[Cerveza mas fina]

I have this feeling im making super slow progress.

Always being carefull and shit.


I have some big ass ship hovering over the earth now and i cant attack it

[Rufus]

Yeah, you're close to the end.

[thisismyusername]

Is there a set time limit for the end? I'm in April but I've seen let's plays end in September of the same year. I wanna research everything if I can but if I'm going to be rushed I might as well get Plasma as quick as I can.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Is plasma the best?

I have one alloy gun (a shotty) cant i get everything alloy?

[Rufus]

No, the alloy gun is the best shotty because there's no plasma shotty. Everything else tops out at plasma.

[Phoenix Dark]

The second worst enemies: those mother fuckers that get pissed when you shoot them, and take an extra move (and intimidate my dudes). Fuck I hate that.

[Rufus]

I winced the first time a Berserker actually caught up to one of my squaddies and just pounded him into the asphalt. They are so easily manipulated though, you can practically lead them wherever you want.

I hate chrysalids the most, especially on the higher difficulties, when you're almost guaranteed to run into them underequipped.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Yeah I don't mind the beserkers since they will just run back and forth.

On the Alien Mothership now, this is it I think

[Big Barry Jazz]

Never had too much of an issue with sectopods. Usually spotted them and gunned them down before they could do anything. I guess if you come across them without much in the way off decent kit and skills then they could cause some problems.

These fuckers on the other hand could really make a terror mission live up to its name, especially when you're near the start of a classic run.

[Cerveza mas fina]

Fucking did it

75 days sooner then the average around the world
