Alien-Bait Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 What the heck is a xarsquid? I know its a tank sized squid that shoots at you but:What are its weaknesses?What are its strengths?Who do they work with? (on terror missions and such) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 It's a nautilus with a gun. Since it's a 2x2 unit explosives do 4x damage. I think it is either Lobsterman or Gillman that they go with. But you usually only see them underwater.. I've had them on Gillmen undersea missions and Lobsterman ship terror sites.

Bomb Bloke Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I've only seen the xarquid once in the water. Two times in cruise ships (stuck in the exact same room each time), and once in T'Leth. Four times in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien-Bait Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I found 2, and both times they didnt shoot at my men because half of it was hidden behind a wallLucky Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattler Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I've seen them everywhere save for base defense, and port terror sites.......and I think colony missions too. They tag along with Tasoths sometimes, on those weird terror sites where they got tasoths, aquatoids, bio-drones and either a tricene or a Xarquid or both.

Jman4117 Posted July 23, 2004 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 I got slaughtered by a pack of them below deck on a cruise ship once. O.oThey tend to spawn at the front of the ship on the 4th level. I had a Tricene and 3 Xarquids in one room..... 8 men died killing them. >.<THANK YOU UNDERWATER ONLY SUPER WEAPONS!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blehm 98 Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 yes, the main thing xarquids are good at it spraying reaction fire all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 I don't think Xarquids are supposed to appear out of the water, I think it's a glitch. The only time I have ever seen them actually "work" (meaning they moved and shot at my men with relative skill) is underwater on Artifact Sites, Large USOs and Alien Base Attacks. I have seen them on Cruise Ships and Port Attacks, but they are always glitched out and that leads me to believe they aren't supposed to be there.

Jman4117 Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 They just reaction fired on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zager Posted September 20, 2004 Report Share Posted September 20, 2004 They just reaction fired on me. That fits, given that underwater only weapons, I believe, can be reaction fired on the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeFireLight Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 Each group of non terrorist aliens have 2 types of alines that go with them into combat. one for land and the other for sea. So if you shoot down the terror ship befor it lands you get the underater units. Howeer if the ship is flaged for multirace then you get a random type nomater where they land. -Blade FireLight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tepid tasoth Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I've yet only encountered seaborne Xarquids, usually in bases or at those Synonium (sp?) sites. They seem to associate w/ Tasoths. An Alien grenade is just enough for one of 'em and 2 hits form a Sonic Blasta rifle are usually enough to make them go to Alien heaven or whatever it is where good lil' Aliens go when the beef it!
