My scout ran into a pod of enemies, two Archons and a Gatekeeper.

I was on a facility raiding mission (to knock back the Avatar counter) and Captain Jeff Cork was well-protected behind heavy cover. The Game Informer editors share their alien horror stories from the front lines of XCOM 2. We lost a lot of good soldiers and for a while things looked pretty bleak. Thanks to a lot of clever thinking and a little bit of luck, we were able to overcome the odds and send those little green men packing, but our success in XCOM 2 didn’t come without a cost. It’s possible that XCOM 2 is harder than Firaxis’ last alien invasion.
