Can't get any Advent Trooper corpses for predator armor.

[CommandoRyanbo]

It's ealry/mid game where I'm seeing Muton centurions, mutons, and elite advent forces yet I cannot get any more advent trooper corpses. Can't get them from killing elite advent troopers either otherwise I'd have loads of them. This is seriously a problem considering I need better armor for my units. Anyone know any way for me to obtain them at this stage in the game?

[CommandoRyanbo]

Anyone?

[ha]

Ouch. Sadly i never encountered regular advent soldiers after difficulty goes up a bit. You will get better armor later after researching power one and it will not need Advent corpses,but getting to that stage with cevlar will be a pain.

I was in your exact position. Was getting slaughtered by Archons and Mutons in Kevlar. I had to start again as I was not finding any trooper corpses. It really is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but either push on to tier 3 armor or start over :P

This feeling is soo ♥♥♥♥. I'm pretty screwed. Everybody has the the extra armor utility because of it. What's really sad is that maximum I only got like maybe 15 corpses.

Were you constantly selling their bodies on the black market? I can't imagine making it that far into the game and not having the bodies for the tech.

[Cam]

so what did you do with the corpses you got in early missions?

[CommandoRyanbo]

Only sold 4 of them.

[CommandoRyanbo]

For some reason I didn't get a whole lot of them.

Are you able to do the exo armor instead? It'll be a lot more expensive since it'll be one suit at a time, but it's slightly better armor at the cost of some utility.

[CommandoRyanbo]

Already trying that, but i'm not holding my breath and waiting. The avatar project will finish before that's done.

That.
The only thing that takes the corpses is 2 for a war suit, 2 for a nanovest (and FFS, why would you even use them, +1 hp is nothing) and 6 for the plated armor.

I never ran into any issues with corpse counts, despite selling them to the blackmarket regulary (the excesses, always keeping a few in stock in case a project requiring them would later turn up).

[CommandoRyanbo]

I was not selling an excessive amount of them what do you not get about that? Really early they started not showing up and in there place where vipers stun lancers, captains, and sectoids. I have a literal ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of lancer corpses.I'm talking 20+ I did however make nano vests for rookies so out of the little that I had (before I knew I need them for the predator armor) was used early on.

Elite and advanced troopers should count as trooper corpses. Nothing you can really do to influence that I know of.

[Lilkinsly]

Are you killing them with explosions? If so that can destroy bodies.

If they do then it's glitched. Killed plenty of elites.
