Cyberdisc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyberdiscs are fictional units of alien construction in the PC game X-COM: UFO Defense. They resemble the classic flying saucer shape, though only a few times the size of a man.

Cyberdiscs are a formidable threat. They are armed with very dangerous, high-grade plasma weapons and cannot be stunned. The shell is especially resistant to armour piercing and high-explosive attacks and is capable of flight. Laser weapons are particularly effective against Cyberdiscs. Furthermore, Cyberdiscs tend to explode when destroyed. They are only found with Sectoids, appearing on Terror missions, base attacks and on larger UFOs; and they do not appear on their own.
