Added in Patch v0.7.14 but not referenced in the patch notes, Alien Warriors can now appear in squads of 4 in the new late late game army lists. Aside from the increase in uni size and army points, the 4 bug squad is identical to the smaller squad size.

Tactical Note

• Focus weaker targets first if possible — standard weapons can damage the armor but are inefficient.
• Keep them at a 4–5 tile distance whenever possible
• Use high rate of fire or high damage single shot weapons to take them out. Vehicle mounted machineguns or anti-material rifles (e.g. the Crocodile) can reliably guarantee kills for example.
