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.
