EXALT Units (EU2012)

• EXALT operates with a similar class structure as XCOM, fielding 4 types of soldiers: Sniper, Heavy, Operative (like Assault) and Medic.
• Later there will be Elite versions of all classes, using additional Genetic improvements and Class abilities.
• EXALT weaponry will be conventional at first, but they will also upgrade their weapons to Laser weaponry and use Gene Mods to enhance their units.
  • EXALT elite units use following Gene Mods, 3 of which are unique to them: Depth Perception (Elite Sniper), Adrenaline Surge (Elite Operative), Iron Skin (Elite Heavy), Regen Pheromones (Elite Medic).
  • They, however, do not gain MECs
• EXALT agents can't be captured since they'll suicide with a syringe if hit by an Arc Thrower. However, they can still be Mind Controlled.
• Their weapons are dropped intact, and can be used instead of XCOM's models.
  • Their versions are functionally identical to XCOM's models, for both conventional and laser weapons (which need the matching Laser research before use).
  • They can be sold for varying prices on the Grey Market, and occasional Council sales, albeit at vastly lower prices.
  • Killing EXALT units with explosives does make them drop Weapon Fragments, which are useful for Research/Foundry projects, so feel free to use explosives.
• Unlike XCOM's soldier pool, there appear to be no female EXALT agents. Make of that what you will.
