	The XP awarded at the end of a mission is the number of enemies present at the start of the mission, divided equally among soldiers on the mission, with a minimum of 3 soldiers.

Therefore soldiers in large squads will gain less XP than soldiers in smaller squads, as the same total XP is split among more people, but squads with one or two soldiers are treated as though they had 3 soldiers.

For example, if a mission started with 8 enemies, Kill XP is granted up to 8 kills regardless of whether the kills come from the pre-set enemies or from reinforcements.		Each enemy kill grants 1 XP except for the Lost, who grant 0.25 XP each; Sectopods, Gatekeepers and the Chosen who grant 2 XP each; and Rulers who grant 3 XP when they're killed.

	Covert ~~actions~~ grant 3-4 XP to the soldiers ~~participating~~.		However, each mission only has a limited pool of kill XP that can be distributed. The amount of XP in this pool is the number of enemies present at the beginning of the mission. For example, if a mission started with 8 enemies, kill XP is granted up to 8 kills regardless of whether the kills come from the pre-set enemies or from reinforcements.

			=== Covert Action XP ===

			Covert Actions grant 3-4 XP to the covert operatives. If the Covert Action gets ambushed, only the rescue team gains mission XP, the covert operatives will not. However, the covert operatives can still gain kill XP.

			Note that soldiers can not promote from gaining Covert Action XP if they have not been on a tactical mission since their last promotion. Getting rescued from a Covert Action ambush does not count.
