i researched everything trying to get a leader to build a psionics labs etc but keep getting blasted by ethereals my brave stat on a few is over 60 i have a commander couple of captains some tu are 103 etc . but i cant get close to stun or smoke them out at there base, so i blow them up with blasters . missions are excellent and recover alot of weapons etc any suggests ? 2 plasma tanks and 6 soldiers on missions .
The A.I. is sometimes "clever", however, one time I had a soldier standing behind the door and the alien opened it and saw me... then threw a grenade (keep in mind the door is between he and I)... as a result, the grenade fell down on the ground below him. Apparently he ran out of Time Units and the grenade blew up, killed him, but the door shielded my soldier... no injuries... the door didn't survive.
Do commanders refrain from using their blaster bombs only on superhuman difficulty? I just watched a video where the commander used the blaster bomb right away and blew up the whole bridge.
You can use a mind probe (The gray spheres you loot from some aliens) to scan the alien mind (stats). Leaders can usualy be found in the room showed on the video. Try to stunn all aliens you find in that room.
Do they have to be hanging out in a base? I've catpured LOADS of leaders on several ships, but I never crack the case on where those pesky extraterrestial buggers live.
Actually in a worse situation if they're holding Heavy Plasma's than B Bombs for once :)
Last run through when I captured mine it was a bloodbath as my squad weren't Psionically trained and obviously the Psi Weakling was the one holding the Stun Launcher...clever.
what the hell?! losing two men and two tanks caused men to panic??? those sectoids sure know how to trash a party... of course, if one of the dead was a Commander, you are in for a rough match...
Well, I did a similar mission, and I was below the lift, and one of the leaders fired the blaster luncher, (tried to fire it down the lift) it missed and exploded in the command centre, and huge explosions rocked the place and all the leaders were dead.

@DmdWasserTanzt They carry blaster launchers and would have killed themselves if they did. (explosion)

k a question
i recently re-started playin x-com:UFO defense and how can you tell apart a leader from a simple alien?
kayr0112 2 years ago
You use a mind probe to check out what rank the alien has. Also, they usually carry blaster launchers and sectoid leaders use heavy psionics.

There's leaders on the ships, but for the last mission you need to catch a Commander.

It's good to know that it's not only your troops that are retarded, but that the enemies have their moments of drug abuse too XD
