Missions (LW2)

Generating Missions

Missions in LW2 are generated on a regional level by collecting intel. You collect intel by assigning resistance cell members to the intel job at each resistance haven. As resistance members rank up, a rebel of rank 1 will collect intel at 150% the rate of an unranked rebel, and a rank 2 rebel collects at 200% rate. In addition, scanning with the avenger adds another 4 (unranked) rebels worth of intel gathering.

Types of Missions

Jailbreak – XCOM must infiltrate an ADVENT jail and rescue key Resistance members. Success increases the strength of the Resistance in that region.

Haven Defense – A variation on Retaliation missions where XCOM must defend Resistance members against an onslaught of ADVENT forces until the Skyranger can get into position for extraction.

ADVENT Base Assault – XCOM must deploy to and overtake a well-defended regional military headquarters.

Invasion – ADVENT attempts to retake a liberated region by assaulting a city center. XCOM must destroy a psionic relay that summons continuous reinforcements, then eliminate any remaining forces.
