You always want to try to keep your soldiers, especially more powerful soldiers that you especially don’t want to lose, away from danger. This may seem obvious, but it goes pretty deep into how XCOM 2 works. We already provided some tips for beginners as to how to handle the entire game, but wanted to dive deeper into strategies to keep your soldiers alive. Along with them go the XP you earned along the way, possibly making you miss out on certain abilities, and definitely setting back your entire military capability by forcing the recruitment of new rookies to take their place. Unlike most other games, XCOM 2 features a permadeath system, making it so that when you lose one of the members of your squad, they are gone forever. XCOM 2 is a tough game to be sure, but the hardest part about it is when you lose a soldier.
