Introduction

To get one of the achievements (and unlocks) you need to use all the combat tactics. Some are more obvious than others, so I am assembled this guide.

Combat Tactics

Bring them on!

  • Kill 5 enemies in a single turn
  • Reward: +2 damage for 2 turn

Get’em from the side

  • Score 4 flanking shots at non-melee enemies in a single turn
  • Reward: +1 AP for everyone

Take Cover

  • Hunker down everyone, with nobody being flanked.
  • Reward: 20 defense to everyone

Too Loud

  • Throw at least 5 grenades in a single turn.
  • Reward: enemy reinforcement will span faster (not really a reward, eh?)

  • Reward: The enemy is stunned

Back from the dead

  • Kill an enemy with a character just revived this turn
  • Reward: -10 stress for all

  1. Back from the dead: you can auto-revive a character with fusion core, so it’s easy to unlock.

  2. Take Cover: hunker down everyone, with nobody being flanked. +20 defense to everyone
    Wait it out: hunker two characters right next to each other, -5 stress for both (!!!!!!!)
    Back from the dead: kill an enemy with a character just revived this turn, -10 stress for all (your 4th character rescue can count, so you don’t have to let someone fall to to unlock this)
