Tips & Trix

The Expanded Storage MEC Trooper ability increases the number of Prox Mines carried by 2, for a total of 5.
Tossing a Proximity Mine through a UFO's door will open it.
Other Area of Effect attacks will cause the mines to go off in a sympathetic explosion, giving you a nice combo.
Possible game-crashing glitch if sky dropped enemies land on one.
- Fixed as of the December 2 patch.
Electro Pulse will stun AND damage robotic units despite not being worded as such. Pulse does about 5 damage to both organic and robotic units.
Electro Pulse will do full damage to Mind Merged Mechtoids and Sectopods, despite the 50% damage reduction.
