	The [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)\|Enemy Within DLC]] gives S.H.I.V.s several direct and indirect buffs. In the mid-to-late game they receive the [[Foundry (EU2012)#Shaped Armor\|Shaped Armor]] and [[Foundry (EU2012)#Sentinel Drone\|Sentinel Drone]] foundry projects for survivability and the [[Foundry (EU2012)#Advanced Servomotors\|Advanced Servomotors]] project for mobility.

			On [[Covert_Data_Recovery_(EU2012)\|Covert Data Recovery]] missions, S.H.I.V.s are equally as capable of blocking EXALT hacking attempts as living soldiers. Alloy and Hover S.H.I.V.s with a Sentinel Drone are particularly useful for this task due to their durability without having to rely on destructible cover and the Sentinel Drone automatically reaction-firing at the first EXALT trooper who attempts to enter the hacking area each turn.
