Nope. Small launchers are considered "Big Guns."

I do have the Stun Grenade mod, that allows you to convert a stun bomb into a throwable grenade.

Maybe those could come in handy, or are Sectopods not stunable at all?
You could try to use High Explosive Packs, they should be able too punch throu the Sectopod Armor, and could give 4 Times Damage.

Two of my Sectopod counters in the Up Close modpack.. Just have to get a chance to test them out.

Nice, thanks.

I don't think we need to see every small scout mission there is, though some summary - perhaps a little 'best of' segment at the start of the episode, with things like hitting four sectoids at once with a single grenade. Since that's just awesome.

Hi Ivan,

I'm slowly catching up with your LP and enjoying it as usual. It's kinda crazy that I decide to watch it instead of playing the game..! But that's a testament to your skills.

I saw your "New Year's Fireworks" experiment, and I thought I would point out that the XAE may have exactly what you want: the Skywarden and Skyguardian craft variants, both of which come with side doors near the front. I've attached one of the promo shots for the Armoury, with the craft and the team displaying their fancy new hardware.

Just doing my first ethereal base : apart from them using blaster bombs all over the place, its good run so far. Manufactured few improved flashbangs and sectopods are going down like candles in the sun. They should get some stun protection :X

Thanks a ton for the battle report! I was kind of hoping that would be the case, but I wasn't sure if it would be. I wonder if Stun rounds from a small launcher would be as effective on Sectopods.

Cheers, Ivan

Nice update, good work on those ethereals.

I've found that turning psi line of sight on means that aliens basically never use psi. Though my own experience with it is kinda lacking too.
