Meld Canisters are located on UFO Landing and Crashes as well as Abduction missions, each with a timer. One will be fairly close to where you begin and the other will be in a location that you may not normally head towards.

Even if you have not yet located a Meld Canister its timer continues to count down until it reaches 0 and explodes, damaging anything near by and removing that Meld from the game.

Tips and Tricks

  • Early game it can be beneficial for you to just kill all the aliens and then have the Meld be automaticaly collected at the end to help avoid casualties.
  • It can be work keeping two or three countries without Satellite coverage on any difficulty but Impossible so that you can continue to have Abduction Missions to collect Meld from.
  • Meld canisters can be collected by Mind Controlled enemies.
  • After the Meld is collected the canister can be destroyed at leisure.
  • After a soldier has collected the Meld the canister can be destroyed without risk of losing the stuff.
