Research is the core of XCOM, we must learn more about the enemy and how we can defeat them.

Projects
List of research projects (incomplete) in Enemy Unknown 2012
Project | Description | Prerequisite | Cost | Speed (Diff. + Scientists) |
Result |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Xeno-Biology | If we must face the invaders in combat, then we must understand 'alien life' as well as we do our own. | None | 4 Sectoid Corpses | Normal (4 days) (C+5) Normal (8d) |
Facility: Alien Containment Research: Arc Thrower |
Weapon Fragments | These fragments are all that remain of the powerful alien weaponry we've encountered so far. Further study could lead to advances in our own weapons development programs. | None | 5 Weapon Fragments | (C+5) Normal (8d) | Engineer: S.C.O.P.E. |
Alien Materials | The aliens appear to be using materials that are lighter and stronger than anything we've ever seen. A cursory examination has already given us ideas for ways to improve the soldiers' current body armor, but more research is required. | None | 5 Weapon Fragments | Fast (3 days) (C+5) Normal (8d) |
Engineer: Nano-Fiber Vest |
Experimental Warfare | Although our understanding of the alien technology is still limited, what we've seen so far is enough to revolutionize combat as we know it. If we are to level the playing field, we must adapt the alien technology for our own use. | Alien Materials | None | (C+5) Slow (12d) | Facility: The Foundry Engineer: Phoenix Cannon |
Arc Thrower | Unknown | Xeno-Biology | Unknown | Unknown | Engineer: Arc Thrower |
Sectoid Autopsy | Unknown | Kill 1 Sectoid in combat | 1 Sectoid Corpse | 5 Days on Normal with 12 Scientists | Engineer: Uplink Targeting (AIM) |
Thin Man Autopsy | These aliens were clearly intended to be infiltrators, moving among us and observing without raising an alarm. However, the question remains, how were the aliens able to physically modify this species to achieve this goal? | Kill 1 Thin Man in combat | 1 Thin Man Corpse | 3 Days on Normal with 16 Scientists | Unknown |
Skeleton Suit | Although the weight of this suit has been substantially reduced, it's defensive capabilities are still intact...and the reduced weight has allowed us to couple that suit with the climbing grapple that we've been prototyping. | Research: Carapace Armor | 15 Alloys | 16 Days on Normal with 16 Scientists | Engineer: Skeleton Suit |
