Base Farming

Base Leaching involves finding an Alien Base and then constructing a base on top of it. Once you have it set up with Raders, stores, men and a Skyranger, you may begin leaching off the base's supply drop offs. Between 150 to 900 Elerium is worth the -150 points you'll get at the end of the month. And the best part is if you get board of it then you just attack the base and then dismantle yours so it can be built over another one, and you may have up to seven of these if you do not have Research/Manufacturing/intercept/Rader bases.

Things you'll need

• A Skyranger (No Avengers or Lightnings as they just take up Elerium that you are collecting)

• 14 Soldiers

• Laser or Plasma Weapons

• Stores for loot

• A Hyper-Wave Decoder (If you can’t get it yet, then use a Large Rader but it does not work as well)

Bases to Avoid Farming from

• Obviously Sectoids and Ethereals as they have Psionics, which can get really annoying and drag out the battle.

• Mutons if you are using Laser Weaponry is not recommend as lasers are weak against their armour.

• So that leaves Snakemen and Floaters. Snakemen are okay if you are going after the Supply Ships, but bases’ have nasty little Chryssalid.

• So for Bases alone, Floaters are Probably best.

• But for Supply Ships, Mutons if you have heavy Plasmas, Floaters anyway and Snakemen because they do not have Chryssalid with them.

• Base that are East of Europe and West of New Zealand, and in-between the poles to ensure you have a day time Mission.
