Tips & Trix

• Tossing a Proximity Mine through a UFO's door will open it.
• Other Area of Effect attacks will cause the mines to go off in a sympathetic explosion, giving you a nice combo.
• Possible game-crashing glitch if sky dropped enemies land on one.
• Electro Pulse will stun AND damage robotic units despite not being worded as such. Pulse does about 5 damage to both organic and robotic units.
• Electro Pulse will do full damage to Mind Merged Mechtoids and Sectopods, despite the 50% damage reduction.
