Newbe questions

[Rince Wind]

Espers like to get their hands dirty and enjoy a good pogrom, can't remember if Church VIPs like that as well, they were well behaved for quite a while.
Attacking enemy bases is also a sure way to find them and I think battleships? They can also be on easy but really fast ships that only carry a small crew, hard to catch, though.

[Ethereal_Medic]

Battleships, enemy bases and crackdowns against you have the provost.
The fast hard to catch ship is the "Hotrod" and usually goes with 6000 speed. But it carries the faction-leader and 2-3 guards.

[Marza]

Cruisers and corvettes also carry faction leaders. There's a number of options for grabbing VIPs, each with their own tactical advantages and disadvantages.

It depends on what VIP you're looking for. Mid tier VIPs can also be found on lighter shipping if you're not ready to intercept the big game.

The wiki says to do night missions at the start because of NV advantage. Is that right? My enemies attack me from out of sight (e.g. academy nurses)?.

Most (maybe all) unarmored humans have NV 9. You have NV 12, so it is small advantage. And use left ALT to check which side your gals are facing.


Am I suppose to find Siberia Base more than once?

[legionof1]

It will keep spawning until the end of the month in which you research the Russian files item. Lest i think its the files the removes it from the mission list. After its removed a new month needs to happen to refresh the spawn list.

[Vansi]

So it will spawn every time I research Russian Files? Because I have 3 more I think.

[Rince Wind]

No, once you completed the research it will stop spawning. It might spawn again until the end of the month in which you did the research, because the missions are rolled at the beginning of the month.

What is your best way to deal with tanks?

I see the tank, I shot at it, it reaction fire me and I save scum, until it drops. But that is no fun.

Stop savescumming and start learning to play.

Stop savescumming and start learning to play.

That`s why I`m asking for strategy advices. 
My goal is to reduce scumming to a minimum or even avoid it.



Let`s talk about Gauss:
Is it worth using it? Okay, it has better damage then lasers, but lack autofire and has worse accuracy.

What do you think about it?

[R1dO]

In that case try to accept that deaths happen in any xcom universe.

Once you go that route i can guarantee you playthroughs become much more fun (and rewarding)

Yeah sure, I normally have a couple gals carrying gauss weapons.

[BBHood217]

Give a sniper gal a sniper gauss and watch the people melt.

I'm having trouble finding a prismatic shield, where can I find one?

[LouisdeFuines]
