When you lose a squad member in XCOM: Enemy Unknown, you lose them for good. And one of the dastardly things about the game is that as you upgrade your weapons and armour, so too does the enemy. There’s never a time when you feel comfortable with putting your veterans’ lives at risk. One user found a way to circumvent that – beat the mission with just one unit!
