Pyrosocial Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Hey all, so i picked Xcom up about 2 weeks ago and was loving it. however, im to the part where i have boarded the first battleship class ufo, and i cant seem to get my people out alive.the squad i roll with is 2 assaults 2 heavies, a sniper, and my support, who is also my psy unit. problem is, i don't have the weapons and armor this mission requires, and im being shredded for it. i only have one suit of titan armor, which the support has, and the only plasma weapons i have is the rifle and shotgun, and i lack the alloy to make more because i cant get through the ship. i would ignore the contact but i fear it will just *ban me* out of the sky if i did. Any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DersitePhantom Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 After you've shot down a UFO, whether you actually do the crash site mission or not doesn't impact panic at all, so feel free to ignore and wait for some easier missions if it would be too hard for you with you're current setup.

pdoan8 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I got most of my plasma from capturing weak aliens (sectoids and thin men). Mutons are tougher to capture, but one in every few abduction mission is doable. You only need 4 at the most. Plasma pistol, light plasma riffle, heavy laser and laser sniper is adequate before you can get more alloy for the weapons (mainly 2 sniper, 2 heavy and 2 alloy).

DersitePhantom Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 It really is vital to start going for as many sats as possible immediately, as they pay off massively in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
