QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Oct 14 2012, 07:55 PM) Dont simply manufacture stuff you dont use, ie: Pistols. I wonder what the point is of adding pistols into the game. I haven't found myself in a single situation where I'd rather use a pistol over my primary weapon  |

the pistol saved my ass a few times. No ammo on primary and an xray in front but low on health? pistol time.

I also use pistol to weaken down some of the alien so I can easily stun them, full health aliens sometimes dont go down easy with the arc thrower.

I haven't found myself in a single situation where I'd rather use a pistol over my primary weapon Pistols are still useful, like i always give my Snipers the best pistol, as some times they need to use it after they just finished moving. Adding on one of the perks, Pistols are pretty good at dealing damage.Still, i wont recommend anyone to manufacture 6 for every soldier.

Finish the game.
Tips: * Start in China = Best Start reason : you can max your squad size at earliest possible * Pistol=Useless ( you never have enuf money spend on pistol ) * Arc Thrower=Do not stun the enemy type which you already capture before, Unless you need his gun. ( captured enemy do not provide corpses and weapon fragment ) * Try not to build weapon (eg 1 plasma rifle cost you more than a satellite. But capture live enemy give you his weapon. * Deployed Satellite to every country earliest possible (keep the panic stable, more income/engineer/scientist per turn) * Soldier with low will <50 = useless. ( high will soldier is stronger at end game, and the potential to become PSI solder. ) * A well positioned sniper can take down more than 3 enemy in 1 turn. * study the map properly. There is always a better route to approach large group of enemy. Frontal assault always failed. * Delayed the Priority Research and Upgrade seem to buy you some time for better upgrade. ( once you proceed the priority research/facilities, story progress ) * Support = 2nd Best Class in game. My support configuration : 3xMedi, Scope, Plasma Rifle, (Titan/ArchAngle Armor) Move faster, same dmg as Assault, can revive, higher HIT with scope, smoke screen. * PSI Support = Best Class in game.

I try to stun that spider thingy and that drone, the option doesnt lit for me, does this mean they are un-stun-able??? or did I need weaked them 1st?
The stun option does lit on other alien eventhough the chance of stun is low..

Maybe i need more upgrades. wait till you fight 6 of them at the same time... I dont think this is called spoiler since the map generate differently each time you enterHad to use lots of explosives to kill it when a few other alien on the field. Sniper headshot seem the way to kill them (at least made them near death) then have your grunt finsih them off. They have incredible large area to move, need use up 2 action point just to outrun them, have your sniper ready at the other end for run and shoot tactic.

The stun option does lit on other alien eventhough the chance of stun is low.. I tried to stun a Crysalid too but the stun option seems to be disable. I guess its not possible to stun a Crysalid or it is a bug which will be fixed at a later date? |

So anyone managed to get their hands on a US SE? Is the extra content worth the premium price?
