Carbine kit for Alien Plasma Pistol


Recommended Posts

You're not supposed to be able to effectively use the alien weapons. They mention this in the xenopedia entry for the alien pistol. You eventually research ways to manufacture plasma weapons that humans can accurately fire. This solves the pacing problem in original X-COM where you could get access to really effective plasma weapons in the first month or so of the game.

Yes it would be more convenient to get really accurate plasma weapons right out of the gate, but it would also be convenient to have a "win mission" button. Neither ideas are good game design.
