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.

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

Bases to Avoid Leaching 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.#
