Robotic Units (XCOM 2)

A Robotic unit in XCOM 2 is a unit with some traits of a mechanical unit and some traits of an organic unit.

Robotic units:

• Codex
• Spectre
• Gatekeeper

Robotic units share some traits with mechanical units:

• Take damage from Bluescreen Rounds, EMP Grenades / Bombs
• Immune to burning

The differences are:

• Control:
  • Cannot be hacked or shutdown (Haywire Protocol cannot be performed)
  • Codex and Gatekeeper can be mind-controlled
• Immunity:
  • Codex and Spectre are immune to burning, poisoned, and acid burn (a Gatekeeper is only immune to burning)
• Weapons and items effects:
  • Flashbang Grenade disorients them
  • EMP Grenade / Bomb effect:
    • Either stuns or disorients a Codex
    • Can stun a Gatekeeper
  • No additional damage from Combat Protocol, Capacitor Discharge, and Whiplash (the damage is the same as to organic units)
