Extracting an unconscious soldier requires a squadmate also extract with them, removing another valuable trooper from your mission. There are caveats to this maneuver, of course. This is also helpful if a soldier is set on fire, poisoned or otherwise afflicted and you have no way of curing their status simply extract them before they die and they’ll take no further damage. In XCOM 2 you have another option, as your soldiers can pick up unconscious squadmates and take them to the LZ, extracting them to the Skyranger before they bleed to death. If you didn’t have a kit, that soldier was doomed unless you quickly finished the mission before they expired. In EU, soldiers who were downed but not outright killed would enter a ‘bleeding out’ state, where you had a few turns to stabilize them with a medkit. It serves another equally important purpose, though-CASEVAC, or casualty evacuation.
This serves an obvious purpose: letting you get the hell out after your mission has turned pear-shaped. On most missions in XCOM 2, your soldiers can call in the Skyranger’s landing zone to any location near them, allowing for an immediate extract of any soldiers inside the LZ. Unless you don’t mind losing all that expensive stuff they were carrying. Winning a normal mission doesn’t require you to extract, of course, but on missions that force you to extract such as VIP rescue operations, manually taking your bodies home is necessary even if you win. Beyond sentimental reasons, this is critical for keeping the soldier’s gear, because if you extract from a mission without taking a soldier’s body you lose all the gear they had. While this at first may appear pointless, it serves a very important function by allowing you to extract your dead trooper. When a squadmate dies, you can order another soldier to pick up his body. (Note: It was actually a terrible moment.)įor similar but different reasons, you need to look after your own dead as well.
Imagine my surprise when I found out that Predator Armor requires 12 Trooper corpses to build! Ha ha, what a great moment. I made the mistake of selling all my Trooper corpses early on, because as previously discussed, the black market is awesome. That means a dozen ADVENT Trooper corpses for your supply of plated Predator armor, and then handfuls of ADVENT Trooper or Stun Lancer bodies for each EXO Suit or Spider Suit, respectively. As morbid as it may be, your first sets of upgraded armor must be built using scavenged ADVENT plates. Dead bodies are very valuable in XCOM 2, both yours and the enemy’s.
