MEC serves XCOM side

Post by vohich »

I was lucky to hack one of MECs and made him work for XCOM (I mean not controlled for 3 turns or till the end of mission; hacking option showed me that MEC would work for me forever), but it was killed during that mission. Okay, I send one of my guys to collect loot which said "Advent MEC"

I finished that mission successfully and expected to be able to repair MEC at my engineering block, but have not found it

Do I need to hack one more MEC, save him during the mission to make him work for me forever? Or do I have a chance to repair it like Spark? Thanks, guys

You can't repair them. To get them in a haven you need them to live until the end of the mission.

Whenacontrolled MEC dies, it creates an empty loot event when you move near. That's what threw you off.

In my case, that empty loot event also hid the loot marker on the ground in case the controlled unit was carrying something.

Speaking of which, if I control a MEC carrying loot, do I get the loot?

There is a specialist perk that allows you to keep mecs for your havens. They are pretty helpful during haven defense

Do they just get generic MECs or does the type of MEC you capture matter?

Super Heavy Resistance MEC would be awesome.

Just a basic me, but I think that is a great idea the devs should consider

Do you need "Shen's last gift" for it to work or not?

Should not need the DLC for this to work as this is a LW2 special. ;)
