Voici trois nouvelles captures d’écrans pour XCOM 2, l’une mystérieuse montrant une cohorte de robot-soldats au garde-à-vous avec leurs officiers de l’Advent, la police militaire des collaborateurs au service des aliens. Puis deux gros plans confirmant que les mutons seront bel et bien présents dans les rangs des forces extra-terrestres. Tout comme pour les sectoïdes le génome des mutons a aussi été modifié avec de l’ADN humain afin d’améliorer un peu plus encore leurs capacités au combat.
La chasse aux aliens et incidemment la reconquête de notre belle planète bleue est prévue sur PC à compter de novembre prochain.

The Muton
Now that the aliens have access to our DNA, they’re using it to manipulate their own genomes. We’ve already seen it at work with the improved Sectoid, and now we’ve discovered the Muton has also received a dose of human genes.
The benefit of human genetics means the Muton now pairs its established brute force with the cunning intellect of the human mind. This makes the Muton more deadly than ever.
Our field recon has informed us of several skills available to the new and improved Muton. They are able to use Suppression against targets to reduce their Aim, while also providing a free reaction shot should that suppressed target decide to move. Additionally, Mutons still possess the Alien Grenade, allowing them to deal damage to groups of soldiers. So, be mindful of your soldiers’ spacing in the field!
But the Muton is still a brute in close combat. Their weapons are equipped with bayonets, and the Mutons won’t hesitate to close in on your soldiers to use them. And the Muton has the ability to Counterattack as well. Every Muton has a chance to ignore melee damage and instantly respond with a melee strike of their own. Rangers should keep this in mind when going in for the kill.
Don’t underestimate the Muton, Commander. It will be the last mistake you ever make.
