Three pancakes stacked together. Thats the new alien craft XCOM will be battling.
XCOM can now produce Laser Tanks and Laser Cannons. Laser Cannons are for interceptors. Our Interceptors have dual Avalanche missiles, but those will soon be obscure because later alien crafts have longrange weaponry and take an insane amount of punishment to kill. Six missiles in total won't cut it for Terror UFOs and Battleships. Battleships are longrange asskickers, Terror UFOs are damage sponges.
Laser Tanks will replace the Scout Drone. Laser Cannons will be manufactured and sold for profit. X-COM is now an arms dealer and a alien combat unit never expected to succeed in the first place. Obviously XCOM is far superior to any other human on the planet, because they can research and produce lasers in days, and aliens are way too easy to kill right now. Earth's armies are very incompetent.
Two terror missions in a single month, in under three days. Dynamic Difficulty is a huge bitch.
Lee Hanson gets Revolver Rookie's famous gun. The engraving shows a bunch of aliens after having their heads explode.
The Laser Tank gets a double kill. Not shown above:p-spot exams delivered by lasers inserted into the ass
Alien on the rooftop! The new guy blows it up with the grenade launcher.
Bob Saget gets another kill with his grenade launcher.
Stalker blows up another floater with a direct hit. One of the females with the Auto-Cannon blows up some stuff too.
Holy crap!Rook40 actually killed someone with a sniper rifle!
The new guy runs off for some reason.
Aliens can panic too. This often causes them to drop their weapons. Aliens cannot pick up weapons. This makes them easy target practice, and I do mean target practice. I tried to farm Firing Accuracy by giving everyone a weak pistol and taking potshots at the aliens, but the alien died after the second shot.
Pyro Rookie sets an entire warehouse on fire just to kill a Reaper.
Lee Hanson inherits the godlike powers of Revolver Rookie. His soul is contained in this gun, because sitting in a hospital bed is boring.
Alien grenade! The new guy is going to die!
*BOOM*
Uh...... Nevermind.
Why are our missions going so well? That is very disturbing.
Shortly afterwords....
Holy crap two ufos at the same time
Two crashed ufos at the same time
We should nickname the three female troops with Auto Cannons we have. I can't tell them apart.
Rook40 continues to rack up kills with a sniper rifle.
Bob Saget encounters a floater at point blank range. He instantly kills it with a Mozambique drill. Two in the chest, one in the head is surprisingly effective against aliens.
The mindraped clone of 500 Memes is taken out by a alien Self Delete bomber.
What kind of Self Delete bomber uses STUN BOMBS instead of actual explosives?
The team discovers that the primary purpose of this ufo is to abduct cattle.
Is that a gravity lift? Yes it is. Better than an elevator, because these will never crash. Also, Revolver Rookie gets his gun back.
The team ambushes the last two Floaters, rushes them, and beats both of them into a bloody pulp. More aliens captured and ready to be probed.
Wrong End 2 and 3(Non-canon deaths of Pyro Rookie. I quicksaved before doing something stupid, and then reloaded.)
Pyro Rookie opens a door to reveal a floater staring her in the face. She instantly fires at the target, but ends up killing herself and the floater. Obviously, this didn't happen.
The team ambushes the aliens and beats them to a bloody pulp, but Pyro Rookie accidentally discharges her flamethrower and burns everyone to death, herself included.
