Certain actions will trigger reaction fire from aliens; others will not, even though they may reduce your TUs. The following is a (presently incomplete) list of which actions will and will not trigger reaction fire. Opposing units also need to be facing your unit(s) and have sufficient TUs available; see Reaction fire formula for more details.


Will trigger reaction shots:

  • Firing a weapon
  • Kneeling
  • Any walking/flying movement (including opening a door)
  • Hitting an alien not facing you (they will spin around and return fire)
  • Throwing any object
  • Using a Stun Rod

Will never trigger reaction shots:

  • Turning in place
  • Firing a weapon from beyond the alien's visual range
  • Firing a weapon from a position hidden to the alien
  • Priming a grenade
  • Firing at (but missing) an alien not facing you
  • Any action on the inventory screen
  • Using a Medi-Kit, Mind Probe or Motion Scanner

Currently unknown/untested:
