Xcom enemy within starting country upgrade#

Only one soldier needs to reach the train's controls. Aliens who are not an immediate threat should usually be ignored to focus on the transponders. Eliminating all opposition is not required to complete the mission. Reaching the control console with your last action in the last turn will still be a failure. Your squad must advance quickly enough to place all four transponders and reach the train's control console within that time limit. Activating transponders will not extend the time limit. When selecting a squad, consider that the follow-up mission aboard the alien battleship will start after Confounding Light's completion and not allow time for wounded soldiers to recover. This is a Unique Council mission that is part of the DLC, and can be done under any difficulty setting. If Zhang has been part of anything completed, this achievement will be available. This requires 'The Slingshot Content Pack'. You can them spend some time upgrading them to max Psi level. Place three men into the test chambers, save the game, allow the test to complete, note the names of the ones that are gifted, reload the saved game, remove the non-gifted men, and repeat until you find three gifted soldiers. It is also possible to use the psycho test to get all 'gifted' troops. Use them to build a squad that hits often and can mind control an enemy frequently.

Examine them and only upgrade those whose Aim is at least 80 and Will is at least 50 (60 recommended).

Have the 'Instantly promote to squaddie' and 'Iron will' upgrades and hire at least seventy soldiers. The best method to get superhuman soldiers is to use the second wave option 'Not Made Equal'. Additionally when you complete the final mission you can make the Blaster Launcher if you have enough fragments. Use the Slingshot pack to get an advantage early on by capturing a live Muton and studying plasma weapons to get research credit for them.

If you choose Enemy Unknown, you can flank and overwatch an enemy and they will remain stationary (unless one of your soldiers is also flanked, in which case they will get shot). Because this must be done within the same game, either Enemy Unknown, or Enemy Within, select the one you have more completions with. Play under the easy difficulty setting and use second wave options. Take note of your starting location or keep a saved game file at the global map each time you are almost finished with a game in order to keep track of which locations you have already completed. Have UFOs appear in a different country.
