Capturing The Megaspawn Alive

[AliensMustDie]

Howdy! I know this subject is buried somewhere here, but I could not pull up what I am looking for through a search. What are your suggestions for capturing this big guy alive? :monster: I think I read somewhere that one player put all his guys on top of the UFO and waited for the megaspawn to come out the front door and then nailed him a bit with weapons before using stun gas grenades (I think- not sure but it would seem impossible to get him with a stun grapple given his weapon accuracy and high damage).

 

Also, does the megaspawn only appear in one type of UFO or in several types? I just encountered one in a type 8 UFO so I am curious. Thanks

Capturing it alive? Doesn't that kinda defeat your name here?

 

It has been discussed some in this thread: http://www.xcomufo.com/forums//index.php?s...=35entry40690

Well, it does go against my basic instinct which is to fry the little buggers :flame: Or fill them full of holes :uzzi: :uzzi2: . But I am playing this game working the toxin/alien gas chain of research. Do you think it is worth it? Is alien gas a real kick a** weapon? How do you use it? A grenade or is it another toxin for your water pistols?

Actually Alien Gas is really late in game available to research but it really does kick a**! Megaspawn will allow you to research Toxin type C which actually kicks the a** too. Sometimes alien dies after one shot. Goodluck and... Well... Dig around, it all have been said already.
