Avalanche (Hardmode)

Back To Main Page

The Avalanche is a long-range craft armament that is available to purchase at the start of the conflict.

Compared to its original counterpart, the only difference is that this varient has a significantly shorter firing range of 42km, down from the original 60km.

What this means is that this missile launcher no longer outranges a majority of enemy UFOs, it now matches the range of all UFOs except for the Battleship. This means a craft armed with this weapon will have to expose itself to enemy fire if it wants to engage the hostile craft.

In all other respects this weapon serves a similar role to its original counterparts. It will quickly become the most reliable early game weapon for X-COMs airforce, but it will want to see a replacement if X-COM hopes to intercept larger and more dangerous hostile UFOs
