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