fastest way to find EXALT base?

[Virtuoso]

Is taking me forever to locate de EXALT base of operations. I am aware that I can raid any suspected country whenever ; however , I do not wish to lose a country's funds if mistaken. What is your recommendation on finding the previous mentioned base?

Yeah, keep picking alien abductions that offer cash as a reward and spam the intel scans.

like already sayed, u only chance to fasten the process are intel sweep scans.

Exalt missions can be good training for lower ranked soldiers, so there isn't any need to finish them off. However you need to spend the monthly income when it arrives to minimise exalt raiding it. With spare funds equip the soldiers on the bench with medikits etc for later in the game.

Well I guess there's no shortcut. I'll keep going until there is only one country left. Thank you all.

What's the advantage on choosing alien abductions that offer cash?

If not ironman, purely save before accusing I guess.

you can also accuse countries that have already left (but that will panic spike the continent)

just do some additional 50 spacebuck sweeps a month. I probably wouldn't push the 100 space buck one. you'll get lucky usually with the first couple and it will eliminate regions.

But if you pay for the scan theres little risk in leaving EXALT around.

You'd get cash, I guess. if you had the space in the base you could throw up workshops with the cash and thereby get more engineers and rebates. especially with Europe's bonus. kinda high on the power requirements.

Chose abductions as required to best manage panic. sell corpses its only 10 corpses to do the 50 spacebuck scan. and the EXALT mission generally pays it back

Wow I didn't think of that . I usally save before doing an intel scan , so i don't end up making an useless expense. Since I am down to 4 suspected countries , I might as well save and take a wild guess until I find the correct one.

[red255]

save, accuse all 4, load. yeah.

You actually make extra money and promotions buy doing EXALT missions. There is no need to spped up the process. It's a good source of extra cash. It took me a while to notice that since you don't get any notification before or after the mission, but it you look at your ballance before and after you will see.

What I do is scan for Exalt on the 1st, 10th and 20th of every month. If there is a cell, I do a covert op against it.

I could save-scum to guess the base location. But Exalt forces are easy to kill, making them a good way to level up soldiers. So you might not want to attack their base even after you've located it.

the notice is on the screen when you get the covert operative data. so its the screen after your regular six guy promotions. also has the exalt clue.
