The role of the Faceless has been significantly expanded in XCOM 2; no longer just a menace on the tactical field, the Faceless can infiltrate XCOM's rebel system to siphon off supplies to the alien menace. Identifying Faceless infiltrators requires a soldier to be an Advisor in the suspected area, eventually beginning a mission in which all rebel forces present in the infiltrated area must seek and destroy the Faceless spy.

They will also be present in trap missions where a large portion of the civilian populace are also faceless.

Tactically, Faceless are surprising fast for their appearance, capable of regenerating health, and possess a melee attack that can hit a wide swath while tearing apart cover.
