Can you stun cyberdisc

You're going to need lasers. And I'd prefer a rocket tank and a laser dude to a cannon tank and a rocket dude on a Sectoid terror mission. Magic9mushroom talk , 16 May EDT. I've heard that if you mind control them and keep them until the end of the battle, you can get a live Specimen Urailar.

If a cyberdisk is hovering when you stun bomb it, it's explosion will not usually kill it, as the explosion happens on the level above where the "corpse" falls. One sectoid terror mission is usually enough to capture one if you've using stun launchers. I checked the Terror mission entry but didn't find Abductions to be a 'subset', so this is a suggestion that Alien Abduction be added to the list of appearances. On Superhuman, the aliens are crammed in so tightly that you usually hear Sectoid death moans every time a Cyberdisc falls, which reduces the volume of fire you need to put out to a manageable level because you only have to shoot the Cyberdemons And when there are Cyberdiscs literally jammed in next to each other ever seen the inside of a Sectoid Terror Ship?

Don't get me wrong, Cyberdiscs are half the reason Sectoid Terror Missions are such hell, but they'd be much worse if they didn't explode. The Sectoid Leader in this particular mission wasn't killed by a Cyberdisc explosion, but by a Cyberdisc shooting at my tank, missing, and the shot going past the tank and through a window to hit the Leader holed up inside a building.

Guess Murphy's Laws of X-Com apply to aliens, too? Magic9mushroom talk , 17 May EDT. Navigation menu Personal tools Create account Log in. Yeah, even when you're not in range, the Cyberdisk doesn't have the stun radius that other enemies have, so I just gave up on trying to capture one. I read somewhere that you might have to do it in their attack form. Anyone tried that? I haven't encountered them yet. Am I right to be terrified?

You can, however, mind control a chryssalid if you get your will high enough. Originally posted by Arngrim :. Last edited by hghwolf ; 16 Sep, pm. Twelvefield View Profile View Posts. I don't think you can MC with an MC'd alien. That would be bad for the universe. It would be pretty sweet if you could do that though and then raise it as your own.

I believe MC a chryssalid is more fun than handy. I prefer my kamikaze muton with a grenade Originally posted by hghwolf, accept no imitation :. Originally posted by Twelvefield :. Which brings up another problem with XCOM shooting mechanics - I cannot offensively interact with MCed Aliens except in such a way that I can offensively interact with my other soldiers.

Why not?
