Muton (LW2)
The Muton, as it always has, serves as heavy infantry for the aliens. They have a plasma rifle, plasma grenade, some armor, and above average stats across the board, making them most effective at brawling in close to medium range.
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
 Counterattack |
Chance to ignore melee damage and instantly respond with a melee strike. |
 Execute |
Mutons can perform a finishing move on an adjacent stunned enemy. |
 Suppression |
Fire a barrage that pins down a target, grants reaction fire against it if it moves, restricts the use of many abilities, and imposes a -30 penalty to the target's aim. If multiple targets suppress a target, the aim penalty will stack. Suppression is canceled if the suppressing unit is damaged. Costs two ammo. |
- Note that Long War 2 includes the Muton Centurion which has higher base stats and more abilities than the regular Muton.
