Description
Base Augments
  • MEC Troopers wear their cybernetic base augments when not in combat
  • The arms and legs lack the necessary flexibility for use in the field; hence their removal when the MEC Trooper interfaces with a MEC cybersuit
  • Ideally, they will permit MEC Troopers to resume normal lives should XCOM defeat the invaders

After a soldier is converted into a MEC he/she will wear a metal endoskeleton called Base Augments as its body Instead of armor, MEC Troopers use the Mechanized Exoskeleton Cybersuit into battle. It is not possible to deploy a MEC Trooper without a suit.

MEC Suits are built in Engineering. There are 3 tiers of MEC Suits which can be customized, each unlocks a choice between two new tactical subsystems, allowing for 8 different builds of MEC Suits. The first suit, MEC-1, can be built immediately after the first soldier is augmented on the Cybernetic Lab but the next suits require further research in order to be developed. If a MEC Trooper is killed the MEC Suit will become damaged and will have to be repaired on Engineering.

The MEC Suit

MEC Suits came with the Minigun as its default Primary Weapon: more advanced primary weapons need to be manufactured in Engineering before being deployed. There are 3 tiers of MEC Suits which can be customized, each unlocks a choice between two new tactical subsystems, allowing for 8 different builds of MEC Suits:
