Mission Difficulty
- Certain missions (Abductions, Terror Sites) appear with four levels of Difficulty: Easy/Moderate/Difficult/Very Difficult.
- These indicate the number of alien "packs" (also named "pods") present on the mission, with Easy usually having 2 packs and Very Difficult around 4.
- Keep in mind that the actual number of aliens may vary since packs can have 1-3 aliens, depending on game stage. Usually the aliens will deploy a maximum of 12 units on a Very Difficult setting on Terror sites or Abductions.
