Description
Friends in Low Places is a Council escort mission. Like all Council Missions, the mission is initiated by the player being contacted by The Council. You will be given a screen choosing to accept the Slingshot missions or not, all or nothing: if you decline, none of the Slingshot missions will appear at all for that campaign run (unless you revert to an earlier save and choose to do them). If you do, they will begin in the first month, and each will repeat untill all 3 are completed.
Mission Objectives:
- Escort the target to the extraction point.
- Protect the target at all costs.
- Eliminate any remaining hostiles.
Start
Tactics
Enemy force is only partially present on the map at the start of the mission. As Zhang advances across the map additional enemies (the alien forces in encountered in this mission consist primarily of Sectoids and Thin Men plus a solitary Chryssalid or a Muton on Impossible difficulty) will drop into the map, typically on elevated positions in sight of Zhang. The newly spawned enemies typically use Overwatch as their first action. Their entrance counts as movement, and XCOM soldiers on Overwatch will react with fire often eliminating the enemy before they can become a real problem.
Zhang has 4 health and Head Down ability. He should be shielded from enemy fire and avoid burning vehicles at all costs.
End
Additionally, completing the mission rewards the player with the "New Friend" Achievement and Zhang will join XCOM as a Heavy Class Lieutenant. As a Lieutenant, Zhang will likely outrank other soldiers at this point, meaning he will have a superior number of abilities and will unlock additional upgrades at the Officer Training School. Unfortunately Zhang does not have any customization available (can't change his armor decoration or color) on the regular Slingshot DLC. But in the Enemy Within DLC it is possible customize his armor color and decoration.
