Explosions can start fires that propagate, blocking floor tiles. To my surprise, I also discovered that soldiers running around above ground level can fall through the floor if theyвЂ™re in a burning building. IвЂ™ll commonly grenade a wall to remove cover and offer my soldiers highchance shots at a target. The snowy forests, slums, city centres and alien bases are varied both in decorative assets such as sleek futuristic cars and fluffy trees, and in the vertical variation provided by cliffs and multi-storey buildings. For the vast majority of battles the terrain is busy, interesting, and benefits from a huge leap in visual fidelity from Enemy Unknown. Only once have I seen a truck spawned partly into a wall. YouвЂ™re scraping food and fuel out of the dirt to keep The Avenger in the air.Д¬ombat is turn-based, and takes place on procedural battlefields that are uncannily well generated. I have to steel myself for every fight, knowing that a bad performance could ruin my plans. Dubbed Retaliation, these once again ask you to rescue civilians from the battlefield while the aliensвЂ™ best troops try to annihilate them. If youвЂ™re unlucky youвЂ™ll be faced with XCOM 2вЂ™s equivalent of Enemy UnknownвЂ™s Terror missions. If youвЂ™re lucky, itвЂ™s the council getting in touch to give you a thumbs-up and tell you theyвЂ™ve dropped some sandwiches for you in South America. ThereвЂ™s a notification screen you have to click through to find out what is about to try to kill you-I swear this is intentional, to let the sense of dread register for a second or two. The moment the timer freezes during a scan, I stop breathing. YouвЂ™re scraping food and fuel out of the dirt to keep The Avenger in the air.

This narrow series of opportunities fits the fantasy perfectly. I needed a cup of tea because it was all getting a bit too much. I needed Advent corpses to get a vital armour upgrade. I needed to hit an alien base to reduce the Avatar Project count-a doom clock that is very bad news if it maxes out. I have left supplies on the ground for a week because I needed to recruit an engineer. You may already have enough for instant autopsy but it won't be displayed/available if there's another research already in progress.Brilliantly, you even have to scan to collect your monthly cache of supplies, hidden in the landscape to escape alien detection. So wait until current research finishes and then see what's available for instant research.

TIP: You won't be able to see if autopsy is available instantly if there's another research in progress.

Vipers: 2-3 for Medkit and 1-2 per NanoMedkit, sell the rest.

Sectoid: 1-2 for each mindshield and 2-3 for Advanced Psi Amp.

Faceless: 2 per each mimic beacon that you want to make, rest can be sold.

Berserker: 2 for Overdrive Serum if you don't plan to use it - sell, if you are a serum chugger save em.

Chryssalid: 2 for each Hellweave vest- you know what to do with rest :).

ADVENT Trooper: These bastards have many uses, 2-4 for Hybrid Materials research and 6-12 for Predator Armor research, also 2-3 per Nanoscale Vest and 2-4 per EXO suit, plan how many you want and sell the rest.

ADVENT Stun lancer: plan 2-3 per each Spider suit, sell the rest.

Corpses with uses other then research:.

ADVENT Turret: Sell those babies after research is done.

ADVENT Shieldbearer: Sell the bastards.

(after 1 is used for research is implied, repeating just to make sure).

Corpses only used for research - aka sell'em when you complete research:. I will be listing values as X-Y, Y is for Legend difficulty, EDIT: adding number of corpses needed for instant research upon request, format will be Instant:(X/Y) where Y is for Legend. Not counting one corpse of each that you need for research (and of course it is recommended to wait until you accumulate enough for instant research if you can) Work in progress, please correct any errors if you spot em. Thanks for that one goes to /u/isheaД®DIT 2: Separated corpses into two groups, first that have no use apart from research and 2nd that are used in manufacture of whatevz EDIT: Fixed some misspellings, formatting and added a bit of information which I falsely considered implied.
