In General
The Super-Heavy Infantry Vehicle is a special unit that brings raw damage, durability, and a degree of utility to the field, thanks to their numerous upgrades and equipment options. All SHIVs can be used as partial cover. The basic SHIV is available from the beginning of the campaign. They cannot be rebuilt if destroyed.
XCOM starts with at least 1 SHIV, which accompanies your soldiers on the first mission.
Big Sky (the Skyranger pilot) can control only 1 SHIV each turn. This means that if you bring multiple SHIVs on a mission only 1 can act each turn.
SHIVs do not accumulate fatigue.
Like other units, SHIVs must have their weapons replaced individually. All units start with the baseline Autocannon (with an unlimited quantity in stock, much like the other basic ballistic weapons), which can be upgraded for each tier of weapon. New weapons must be manufactured by Engineering, and they can be found in the same section as MEC armaments.
Bringing a SHIV to a mission isn't a waste of experience either, as the 1st SHIV alive at the end of any battle grants its mission experience to its squadmates.
SHIVs, like most mechanized units, have built-in damage reduction and are hardened, which makes them more durable. Much cheaper than MEC Troopers, and with 'abilities' swappable as equipable modules giving them a significant degree of flexibility, these units will prove to be a valuable asset to XCOM.
It is advisable to have at least a small pool of SHIVs in reserve, to fill any gaps when your Barracks list reads nearly entirely "Fatigue", and to help deal with smaller crashed UFOs that you still may want to gather materials from, as their raw damage and durability can potentially serve as a replacement for high-ranking soldiers.

SHIV Initial Abilities
Abilities that all SHIVs start with.
Ram
If this unit moves at least 4 tiles in a mostly straight line towards the tile directly in front of an enemy, this unit will hit that enemy for x damage, where x is half of the distance moved + 1 for every 10 max HP this unit has. |
SHIV Upgrade Abilities
Abilities that can be unlocked via Foundry projects.
Lock N' Load
Reloading any weapon costs only 1 AP. Dashing automatically reloads the active weapon. Granted by:

Sprinter
Grants +1.3 mobility and increases the movement bonus when dashing to +40% (from +20%). Granted by:
Advanced Servomotors |
Damage Control
Grants an instance of 20% DR each time damage is received (they stack multiplicatively). If shredded, reduces shred to 35% at end of turn. Granted by:
SHIV Advancements II |
Shredder
Primary weapon shots during this unit's turn apply Shred equal to the percentage of the target's max HP lost from the attack (which increases subsequent damage the target receives by the amount of Shred) for the remainder of the battle. Granted by:
SHIV Advancements II |
SHIV Equipment Abilities
Abilities SHIVs can be granted if equipped with the appropriate equipment
Critical System Targeting
Shots against autopsied mechanical units deal +50% damage and gain +2 penetration. Does not work with the Arc Rifle or Arc Pistol. Granted by:
Anti-Armor Motor |
Holo Rounds

Infrared Module |
Burst
Fire a +50 aim shot with -50% weapon damage and -50 crit. Requires 2 ammo. Granted by:
Burst Fire Module |
Reactive Targeting Sensors
Once per turn, if this unit is attacked: Attempt to return fire with a +40 aim reaction shot. If this unit did return fire, enter One For All (if able). [Basic reaction shots bypass half of cover DR/def, cannot crit, and require hit chance >30] Granted by:
Retaliatory Sensor |
