Abilities/Stats | See Description |
- These "grenades" will show as two when equipped, allowing an additional use despite not being clarified in purchase screen.
- Can be thrown on the map into a square within the player's moving range.
- The mimic beacon will send out a signal that tricks aliens, drawing them towards it and away from any nearby player units.
- Robotic and psi enemies aren't fooled.
- EXALT is not fooled either. The story does imply that EXALT does not seek to interfere with aliens and their work.
- Very useful for terror missions as aliens will spend both actions to move towards beacon, even to the point of being out of cover.
