More than meets the eye! (Faceless)

As mentioned in my "Nationalities" topic, I'm just now playing through XCOM 2 so if anyone already is aware of this, then whatever. Yesterday I was playing a "Terror" mission somewhere in India and this time the aliens (programmers) decided to throw some Chryssalids in for shits and giggles. I generally like to send my rangers (phantom/conceal) around to liberate the civilians because they usually stay hidden, unless of course they run into a Faceless.

 

I notice that this civilian is close to the starting area and send my ranger after him. About 4 paces from the circle proximity a Chryssalid un-burrows out of the ground and starts to approach the civvy, it then stops; starts heading towards the area where my other soldiers are then stops again. After all of that running around it turns and runs behind a building. So I was thinking....there's something clearly off about this civvy and low and behold once my ranger got next to him *POOF* he turns into a Faceless.

 

So for me, it has kind of ruined any surprise about the faceless, and isn't there a tech that reveals them? If so there's no point in wasting money on it if there's Chryssalids running around.

Battle scanner is your friend for detecting faceless. But it's not useless, it's pretty amazing tool.

 

Nope, it's still a waste of money/supplies. Read above ^ In almost every game where you have advanced soldiers, when there's a map where the faceless are involved. It becomes a moot point. The majority of the time I killed off all the "harder" aliens, yet waiting around for them to come towards my group. Terror missions suck yo.
