Something that all signs point to us needing, as was the case in the First Alien War.Īs for the explosives, one can never know what the aliens have up their grubby little sleeves- or would that be testicles?
While the Gas Canons lack the auto-firing capability of the Hydro-Jet canon, they do work in all environments and still pack a heavy punch. I've ordered the purchase of several Gas Canons, their ammunition (Armor-Piercing Rounds), more grenades, a handful of Magna-Pack Explosives, electro-flares, thermal tazers for capturing EBE's and a fully automated Coelacanth Submersible Weapons Systems (SWS). Still, I can’t help but feel it’s a sad day when the fate of mankind might hinge on such a weapon. It might be a glorified spear-fishing gun, but at least it’s easy to carry and can auto-fire. Plus, in the case of the Torpedo Launcher.Well, I think we all remember the ‘Mad Max Incident’.Īll that said, I have decided to hold onto our stock of Jet Harpoon rifles and ammunition. And having a bunch of weapons that only will work in one environment is a supply mix-up waiting to happen. Same goes for our Hydro-Jet Cannon and man-portable Torpedo Launcher.Ĭall me a pessimistic bastard, but some how I don't think the EBE's will oblige us by just fighting underwater. Same goes for our stock of ink grenades- despite out best efforts to fix it’s problems, they’ve stubbornly remained worse then useless. So into the ‘sell’ pile it goes, along with its ammunition. Given the scale of the disappearances we think this new bunch of EBE’s (Exterresterial Biological Entinties) have caused, I rather suspect that they’re much tougher then the average fish. Whatever can be said about the (many) deficiencies of the standard XCOM assault rifle and pistol at the start of the First Alien War, at least they were proper guns. And thanks to the additional funding that brings, we can finally get down to business.Īnd first on the order of business- separating the wheat from the chaff with our rather sorry selection of weaponry. Well, it’s about damn time the UN got it’s head out of it’s ass.Īfter years of mysterious attacks and more political red-tape then I thought possible, the XCOM Project has been revived.
