Valentinian: the gas grenade looks like a manufacturing job instead of a one-time research, always needing 2 thin men corpses per grenade like the needle grenade

| colspan="12" | 1 25 Elerium per Power Source. On Easy Difficulty mode, recovered Elerium increased by 20%. Elerium on Crashed UFOs can vary between 50% and 75% of total value 2 On Easy Difficulty mode, recovered Alloys are increased by 25% and in a Crashed UFO they vary between 50% and 90%. 3 Plus 2 Fusion Cores. Also, capturing the intact Battleship during Slingshot's [[Gangplank (EU2012)|Gangplank]] mission gives an additional 200 Elerium and 500 Alloys. 4 Plus 1 Ethereal Device. 5 Plus 1 Hyperwave Beacon and 1 Alien Entertainment.
|}

The larger components of UFOs also have defined percentages for surviving a crash:
* UFO Power Source - 33%
* UFO Flight Computer - 50%
* Alien Surgery, Stasis Tank and Food - 25%
* Ethereal Device - 100%
* If a [[EMP Cannon (EU2012)|EMP Cannon]] is used to bring down the UFO, the salvage percentages above, including those of Elerium and Alloys, are all increased to 100%.

It is also possible to recover amounts of Alien Alloys, Elerium and Meld from the corpses/wrecks of certain aliens:

==Notes==
* [[Weapon Fragments (EU2012)|Weapon Fragments]], [[Alien Alloys (EU2012)|Alloys]], and [[Elerium (EU2012)|Elerium]] are used to manufacture most items in the game. This is why their resale value is so low and why obtaining a precise number required for each project is so difficult - the base requirements are listed but they can vary due to variances in the number of engineers, [[Workshop (EU2012)|workshops]], etc. Unless you are seriously strapped for cash, try selling something else instead.
* [[Second Wave (EU2012)|Second Wave]]'s Marathon doubles the requirements for everything.
* The [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)|Enemy Within DLC]] adds 3 new artifacts: Meld, Mechtoid Core and Seeker Wreck. Of those, Meld can never be sold at the Grey Market.

== Unlisted devices ==
* "Elevator Beam" - found mainly on [[Battleship (EU2012)|Battleship]]s, these odd floor-bound pod pairs quickly and safely raise and drop the user between their repesctive levels. Standing on a pod prevents their use, and can keep an alien on a lower floor, giving you a well-defended position.
* Abduction Pod - seen functioning in the opening cinematic, they release some kind of coagulating snare substance, cocooning humans for capture. Despite the many you'll encounter, they give no alloy resources for XCOM.
* Syringe - sometimes when awakening a [[Thin Man (EU2012)|Thin Man]] squad, one can be seen wielding some kind of needle, often embedded in a cocooned human, obviously taking blood/tissue samples.
* EXALT Syringe - if you attempt to stun an [[EXALT_(EU2012)|EXALT]] operative with the Arc Thrower, they will commit suicide via a self-induced lethal injection to the jugular. It appears to be a normal human-manufactured syringe; but the contents, which cause ''explosive'' hemorrhaging in a second, are unknown.
* Plasma Bomb & Nodes - You'd think you'd get some Elerium from a plasma device that can wipe out a small town.
