Description
Alien Alloys (or Alien Materials) are a general term for the advanced and extremely sophisticated materials that are present in almost all alien technology.
- Can be sold on the Gray Market for 5§ per unit. (See Notes)
Notes
While Alien Alloys can be sold on the Gray Market, it is highly recommended that you DO NOT do so; Alien Alloys are only acquired through recovery of UFOs, both damaged and undamaged, and you never know when your next contact will occur.
Because nearly all advanced manufacturing and research projects require some quantity of alloys, it is recommended that you stockpile as many alloys as you can, and obviously avoid selling them.
Unlike the original X-COM, Alien Alloys in Enemy Unknown (2012) *CANNOT* be manufactured, only recovered.
