The target also suffers a -30 Aim penalty. Originally believed to be dedicated guardians for the alien vessels, later research reveals that these Outsiders may actually be some kind of mobile long-range interstellar communication system.Ī slain Outsider will disintegrate completely, leaving no corpse on the other hand, stunning it with an Arc Thrower will leave behind its crystal core.Ĭan fire a special shot that grants reaction fire at a single target. They are typically located in the core or the command room of the UFO and only appear when XCOM soldiers get close enough to spot their crystals. Vahlen describes the first one discovered as a "being of almost pure energy." Outsiders materialize out of glowing orange crystals and are only encountered inside crashed or landed alien UFOs. Outsiders are a type of alien construct that take the form of a synthetic humanoid, yet contain no organic matter Dr.
