How do I reach mayor+ rank to beat the Chosen?

[Fetito Fazzito]

The level 3 mission to locate all three Chosen Ones are listed, but I need soldiers with mayor+ rank. How do I unlock this one?

So far the game always assigns me random new soldiers which are n00bs. :( So my vets don't get mor experience?

You can choose which soldiers to take on missions you know?

Also, there are Covert Ops that pop up from time to time that reward free promotions. That's how I got my first Major.

Send the same soldier on enough missions they get promoted. Although I wouldn't go for a Chosen unless you have a few high ranking soldiers with plasma weaponry.

As long as you play smart they can be done well before you reach plasma weapons. In a way it's easier if you do because the longer you wait, the stronger they get and the more powerful enemies are present on the mission.

You can seriously abuse the covert ops missions to get high/max rank characters.
My first top level chars came from mostly sending the same 2 people on these missions.
Bonded so they get a boost in xp and it reduced the lenght of the op. Using the "order card" to negate ambushes. Max rank ranger with no kills.

You run and win the elections.

i find that on legendary it is good to rush the chosen stronghold on mag weapons. Before they get too strong.

lmao so true! i was thinking exactly the same thing when i saw this post xD

Covert ops that give you level-up.

Or psi-lab. Psi-ops ranks count the same, and are much faster to aquire if you invest into lab itself.

So it seems I will have plasma long before required rank soldiers for part III track:p

[Doing gens, you?]

Spam covert ops with a soldier, especially ones that give free promotions.
