XCOM 2's AI can be predictable, allowing for exploitation. Enemies often prioritize the closest visible target or those in the open. Use this to your advantage by baiting them with a heavily armored soldier. Remember that most enemies will move to flank if possible, so position your soldiers to deny flanking routes. Understanding how line of sight works can prevent accidental pod activations. Use Battle Scanners to safely reveal areas.
AI Exploits:
- Baiting: Use high-HP units to draw enemy fire.
- Flank Denial: Position to prevent enemies from getting flanking shots.
- Line of Sight Control: Prevent accidental pod activations.
- Battle Scanners: Safely reveal fog of war.
