Muton (LW2)

The Muton, as it always has, serves as heavy infantry for the aliens. They have a plasma rifle (with bayonet), plasma grenade, some armor, and above average stats across the board, making them most effective at brawling in close to medium range.

Muton Abilities

Ability	Description
Bayonet Charge	Strike a target in melee.
Counterattack	Chance to ignore melee damage and instantly respond with a melee strike.
Execute	Mutons can perform a finishing move on an adjacent stunned enemy.
Suppression	Fire a barrage that pins down a target, grants reaction fire against it if it moves, restricts the use of many abilities, and imposes a -30 penalty to the target's aim. If multiple targets suppress a target, the aim penalty will stack. Suppression is canceled if the suppressing unit is damaged. Costs two ammo.

• Note that Long War 2 includes the Muton Centurion which has higher base stats and more abilities than the regular Muton.
