#XCOM 2 REVIVE DEAD SOLDIERS PATCH#

The Psi Warrior is disgustingly overpriced and makes no sense to purchase, and this only got worse once the balance patch hit and reduced the Sectoid Commander's price.

You'll also have an extra point of health, unlimited ammo and only one point of damage less than a base Shotgun on your gun, and Mass Mind Merge thrown in for free if you happen to be using Sectoids or a Mechtoid. You'll get an actually competent Psi unit, a free Alien Grenade, and you'll have saved more than 2000 points. If you're spending almost half your points on one guy, why not jump to a little over half so they're much harder to kill?

The expense at that point is high enough that the Gunner is basically the centerpiece of your squad, and at that point you're probably better off taking the 800 extra points to upgrade to a Commando.

Ideally you put them in at least a Skeleton Suit, as well, jumping them to 4550 points. Lightning Reflexes and Rapid Fire are, admittedly, quite powerful/useful abilities, but Rapid Fire is dependent on weapon strength -an Alloy Cannon to take maximum advantage puts you at 3950 points- and Lightning Reflexes is in some ways less effective in Multiplayer, as human opponents are usually smarter about their use of Overwatch than the AI. Problem: way, way overpriced for what they do, especially since you'd need to dump even more points into them to give them respectable damage output or pick up access to XCOM-unique perks. (A Recon with a Light Plasma Rifle and a basic Armor is 2250 points, which post-patching is more expensive than two Thin Men) You can't afford six slots at more than 2000 points apiece, after all.ДЈ000 points for an Assault that isn't complete garbage. If you give a Recon a good gun (Light Plasma Rifle: 250 points) and good Armor (Skeleton Suit/Carapace Armor: 600 points) you start having to wonder why you didn't just take two Thin Men instead.

To be fair, 7 HP puts the Recon out of reach of being one-shotted by Alien Grenades, means Light Plasma Rifles can't one-shot them, and means Plasma Rifles have a chance of low-rolling and thus failing to one-shot them, but it's still the case that 7 HP is painfully fragile, and attempts to compensate for the Recon's failings mean they get more and more expensive. The only things the Recon has over them are 3 HP, 30 Will, and 2 Aim. Thin Men, in particular, will tend to fill a similar role more effectively and more cheaply. It probably makes more sense in every case to either grab an Alien or go with a higher tier Assault. Problem: you'll need to dump more points into them to get their damage up so that this is worthwhile, not to mention their HP. 1400 points for a guy who has an exceptionally large range they can move to and attack within.
