nohopeindope posted:So I'm about two months into my first Normal playthrough. I'm in my first mission where I have to rescue civilians. Can I capture a zombie civilian? Also, is there any benefit to capturing aliens you've already interrogated? Can't rescue zombies, except by giving them peace. Yes, there is a benefit to capturing aliens, because that gets you their weapons. Not sure about the countries and panic, but it should get easier later, once you've built up some momentum.

Orgophlax posted:EDIT: Cyberdisks and chyrssalids cannot be captured, right? Correct, cyberdisks, sectopods, and chryssalids can't be captured. You can hack drones with the right upgrade, but I'm not sure why you'd want to.

That'll also destroy any weapon fragments, though. http://xcom.wikia.com/wiki/Weapon_Fragments_(artifact)quote:To acquire weapon fragments, you must kill any alien or robot that wields a weapon without using explosives like Frag Grenades, Alien Grenades, Rocket Launchers, or Blaster Launchers.

Lyrax posted:I'd say it depends on who you use it on, but I'm not deep into the metagame. All I know is that Titan Armor has saved my rear end a lot of times in Classic like when a Muton Elite critted me behind full cover for 15HP halfway across a UFO.  But if he'd been wearing ghost or skeleton armor, he wouldn't have gotten hit! Personally, I wouldn't avoid any weapons or armor, I'd just be careful who I give non-ghost armor and non-plasma weapons to. As soon as I get them, though, everybody gets carapace and lasers, because they're such an improvement.

SeanBeansShako posted:So how should I be using the SHIV robots? As expendable heavies, I'd think? They don't cost much for a plasma cannon or whatever, so you can use them instead of rookies for most things. Also, Alloy SHIVs count as half-cover, so there's that.
