You get a skill for one of your characters to summon her where she controls vehicles on the map. If there is another way to play as her it has yet to be found. The game just came out so I'm sure there are plenty of secrets to be found.

Unless its locked behind paying the in-game currency (which I assume not) you have to level up Marco to randomly unlock it. Its an active skill that cost 3 adrenaline iirc.

Click on Marco, look at the skill, read the requirements.

Go to the Barracks - Achievements of Marco - there you can see that some achievements unlock skills and it says how to do so

Alice seems only useful if you have or the map already has a vehicle on it. Does she serve any purpose otherwise?

I've only run into maybe 3 missions that had the Slug already on it, and the game almost never, ever gives me a Slug or Slugnoid (suit) as an Asset or Supply Drop choice.

She can use switches etc, likely can save prisoners for money (but without regular +5xp)

I get Slugs as asset choice all the time. And yes, I just managed to unlock Alice.

I almost never get Slug asset -many runs never at all - but did finally have the stars align for one and upgraded to Alice II on a current run. Obviously it's RNG, so someone getting it frequently and someone getting Slug once every 10 runs seems reasonably RNG to me. :D

I'm mulling whether to use it on a Destroy Convoy mission that's got the special white X thing on it on the region's map, or saving it for the Tombs boss, although it feels like on Boss battles you have to keep moving Slug all over the place to avoid the boss' mass AOE attacks, which ultimately burns up too much fuel to make Slug useful on the boss fight.

Unless you just kind of save if for emergency, when a character is almost out of HP, or saving it for the boss level's ending area for the coup de grace.

Alice with a slug asset is basically a free win on any mission of choosing, but otherwise kind of useless. I feel like the ability is a bit lacking because most of the time its completely unusable and sitting at 0 points.

Too little interactables on maps tbh.
And yet a free slug driver is a free slug driver

Does Alice at level 3 get anything special? I know a few other skills do.

Sadly, no. You can't even exploit the 0 Adrenaline cost as she can't eject from the Slug early so it's only something you can use every 3 turns/if there's an interactable/POW. Unlike Nadia's bots, she can't exploit a glitch where summons can "free" POWs infinitely for max XP and coins. (The level cap is 9 BTW.) I thought you'd get a free Slug every map or at least an increased chance of them spawning.
