Smoke (except against the Sebilians, the reptiles, since they are immune) is very very useful to reduce the chance of being hit by a random shot out of nowhere, smoke liberally if you feel ur in an exposed position.
Snipers are ok, especially to pick enemies off safely, shields are the one thing to prevent early casualties imo by using them to scout ahead. MGs are amazing, only problem is your soldier's limited TUs especially early. Rifles are trash, just get shotguns instead. Some basic infos about the battlescape, that i noticed (others might disagree). Xenonauts is not a game you can just pick up and get good at, unless you have previous experience, IMO. Right click on the game in your library -> properties -> Betas -> select the community edition branch.įirstly, you should not start out on Ironman, cus it makes it harder to experiment and get comfortable with the game. Idk of any good guides, maybe others on here know.ĭownload Community edition on steam. Shields are great, using a shield to advance and scout ahead keeps casualties down. Machine guns are just for suppression and not killing until the later stages. Sniper rifles are very accurate, do a lot of damage but the soldier has to be stationary or there's an accuracy penalty. Shotguns are amazing at close range but a disaster at more than 5 tile distances. Understand reaction shots - soldiers that have enough TUs left at the end of the turn may "reaction fire" on aliens that enter their sight during the alien turn. Do not split up too much - every soldier should always be covered by at least one other. Make sure you use various fire modes (right click before shooting to increase TU cost and accuracy, with most weapons).
Especially the early game is a bit of a meat grinder. The ones who survive a few missions will get better and will form the core of your fighting force, but losing soldiers is not a sign of failure in this game. The priority for that base should be aircraft, and it should be located far from your first base - the entire point is to shoot down UFOs that your first base cannot reach.Ĭombat wise, first of all, you're supposed to lose soldiers. In terms of bases, you want the second base up ASAP, start it somewhere in the first month. Consider not relying on guides too much, in my humble opinion discovering what works is a big part of the fun. X-Com style games are hard for beginners.
