* Always destroy secondary targets before taking on large foes; even basic enemies can mess you up, especially those with melee attacks of opportunity.

* Always hire all new recruits, and immediately fire them if you don't need them. Hiring costs nothing, and firing them auto-strips them from their gear which may be better than the ones you naturally find in-mission. For example, Snub Pistol got upgraded variants that are impossible to loot from chests etc, but will come equipped on new recruits at certain levels.
 
* Frag grenades are infinitely better than healing grenades.
 
* Scout's Proximity Mines can be used to close E-Holes before they open, similar to grenade planting, but you can just throw them from afar.
 
* Focus gear gives you increased crit chance until you crit every turn, not every mission.
 
* Usually new recruits come at equal or higher levels than you can level up your old recruits, so try to feed all the kills to your heroes.
 
* All melee kills (Bayonet/Chainsaw) are 1-hit kills, so try to spec for the skill that makes them free. However, mid-game enemies onwards have some kind of melee protection to prevent this, so you can usually trigger them by moving close to them, and then going for the kill. The UI will show if an enemy has melee protection or not, usually with a red circle + some small exclamation mark, similar to going into enemy's Overwatch cone.
 
* Berserker is the 1st tough enemies that you will come across. Easiest method to take them out is to shoot them once, making them berserk, and then one-shotting them with the melee skills since Berserk removes their melee protection.
