The Sectopod provides overwhelming firepower where it is needed most.Īccording to dialogue, the aliens used these units to wipe out humanity's conventional militaries during the invasion. It is a towering weapons platform capable of destroying terrain as it walks, with a size of 9 tiles. I hope this helps a lot, this is how I got the achievement.The Sectopod is a large bipedal robotic combat unit used by ADVENT. Another hint is if you've got a Grenadier that doesn't know Shredder then use their Grenade Launcher first to destroy a layer of armour and also remove any cover that might be blocking your shots.Īfter you've done, if you're overwhelmed because your squad is only ready for Sectopod hunting and nothing else then load that first save I suggested before you even went on the mission. ![]() Or just the Sharposhooter and Grenadier combo. This is also possible with just a team of Specialists that know Combat Protocol. If you're still struggling then reload to the start of this mission and place your troops somewhere else. If any of your shots miss then reload the save for that turn and take the shots in a different order or move people to slightly different places because this will change the chance of missing. Then if it's still standing finish it with any Specialists that know Combat Protocol which is a guaranteed 10 damage hit that will avoid armour. Now have your Sharpshooter/s use Deadeye for a slightly powerful shot. As soon as the Sectopod appears move the Grenadier/s closer to improve their chance of hitting it then shoot it (use Chain Shot if you have it), this will remove 2 layers of armour per hit plus increase accuracy against it by 10%. If troops appear first dispatch them as quickly as possible but reserve at least one shot of your ammunition to shoot the Sectopod, if you get a turn to breath reload and put everyone back into overwatch again. ![]() Now keep the squad using overwatch every turn until they're revealed so that way you get the surprise on whoever finds you first. Make sure you keep them together because if they're spread too thin one might locate the Sectopod but the others will be too far away to hit it. When you know where it is reload that save file and get your troops dug in somewhere safe for them with lots of cover and a good view, especially the Sharpshooter who need a clear line of sight. As soon as the mission starts make another save file then spread your troops across the map so you can locate the Sectopod. The second part of this achievement is the execution of the mission. Obviously if you have weapon mods, especially Repeaters (insta kills), Hair Triggers (bonus action), Laser Sight (critical hit), Scope (aim), then use them on your Grenadiers and Snipers. Don't put off getting these weapons and soldiers too late because the Sectopod's health and armour increase as time goes on and this makes it harder to kill in one turn. Suit with the Shredder Gun but this isn't essential. ![]() Another good addition is somebody in an E.X.O. You will also want in your squad a Specialist with Combat Protocol, a Grenadier with Shredder and Holo Targeting (Chain Shot is very useful to) as well as a Sharpshooter with Deadeye. I would highly recommend GREMLIN Mark III, Plasma Lance and Beam Cannon squad upgrades and also upgrading squad size to 6 but it can be done with 4. Sectopods appear late in the game which is good because you want good weapons, armour, equipment and skills before attempting this. ![]() Before a mission starts look at the box in the top right corner of the screen where it tells you which enemies to expect, if it says there will be a Sectopod save your game as a back up now. This achievement is done in two parts, the first part is planning.
