for them! They spawn and rush up into the face of my aggro shotgun Assault and a nearby Support. Fortunately most of the vehicles were already burned out, so that minimized the danger of explosions.įirst encounter with Cryssalids does not go well.

It's on the Street Hurricane map (I think), just a tight corridor with vehicles and a few kiosks. *sigh* I kinda hate wasting money on this crap, but it beats having my satellites shot down.Īnd I have to end this post with few more war stories. This is also the point in the game where you either use a ton of one-shot interceptor boosts, or you waste a lot of time and money on interceptor upgrades, or you buy spares, or all of the above. Vahlen spend 20 days showing you how to shoot stuff?') (Me: 'Guys, this LPR looks just like a normal gun and you've seen the aliens using them against you. I've already got 3 of them sitting in storage, along with some Pistols, awaiting my troops to figure out how to use them. I *think* I can rush for Light Plasma Rifles in time. I've gotten a bit behind in research - no Lasers - and I'm closing in on the time when Mutons show up. On the lower difficulties where I like to spend my time slumming. Even if Revive only ever works once, if it saves your soldier and therefor your squad, it was worth it. I could also see Revive being more useful on Impossible and/or Ironman. (I guess there is some synergy with the OTS upgrade that makes your higher ranking soldiers more likely to get critically injured instead of dead, but I've never built that.) If 50%+ of the time your soldiers were gunned down they were actually critically injured instead of dead, then I would use Revive. So 2/13 or 15% is not quite enough to get me to want to use Revive. In my first playthrough, I can only remember two times that a soldier went down and was critically wounded instead of outright killed, plus I had 11 deaths.
