The alien bases <3

I have cleared quite a few..

I gues thats why I made video about it :)

The later content of game will be large alien bases usually with androns..

Nasty stuff.. Anyway, when your done enough of em, I suggest taking the fast way around.

Here is my ~8minute clip showing the fast route to to blow up the power core.

Also you don't have to wonder what power core looks like!

If you find this helpfull, please like the video.

And yes, I think large bases are same layout, only opponets are diffrent.

1. Open door/doors to take good look what your up against.

Close it if its too bad. (Opening/closing won't cause reaction fire)

Opening and closing costs 12tu each

2. throw smoke grenade in front of door, assuming its bad.

3. Open door again and throw more smoke (but from behind the smoke)

If they see the person doing the action they can react. If not, you get away with it.

4. Go for assault, or throw grenades at em. You can also most cases shoot through smoke.

Keep smoke between of you and enemy or just smoke em.

5. Finish your turn that aliens don't see you. Move your guys into smoke for example.

Tip: approach em from side, never from front.

Also: Usually there is another way in. Take the time to flank em? Maybe some locked door you can break?

AND: They are curious bastards move away from door, maybe some good corner there? Set up guys ready to fire..

This one works better if you can place guys with shields in frontier. Aliens usually shoot the closest guy anyway.

Smoke grenade the doors.

Setup up guys with heavy weapons a bit in the back. Yo uwant rocket launchers, grenades, heavy MG's.

Send a guy witha shield + empty hand to spot, one grid at a time.

Nuke the enemy.

NOTE: Throwing C4 with a grenade+shield guy is a great tactic too. 4C is a lot stronger than a missile launcher, and with a bigger radius to boot.

Another good tactic is stun gas missiles. You can force them to leave the cover that way.

PROTIPS:

- shield is for scouts/granaders/shock-jocks. It is not something you carry in your backpack. Using AR or anything other than a stun rod, grenades or pistol is a waste. Shield guy first, allways with shield, with other hand empty(for -10 TU grenade throwing cost). Equip pistol or stun rod when necessary. You want a scout to travel with max TU's if possible. A good scout can plop 3 grenades in a turn, which is very handy.

- shutgun is a waste for riflemen. For close range they already have the burst and the TU penalty is not worth it. Have you even used shutguns much so far? If you want a secondary, the better choice is a rocket launcher, to remove cover from range (not to kill).

How many times have I told you? SMOKES.

SMOKES. SMOKES! They are used to close distance.. and oyu can shoot trough smoke..the AI doesn't do that. So you can use smoke to position peopel behind thosemetal plates with displays.

Shild guy to scout and spot.

Son, I am dissapoint.
