Playing the XCOM-alike Phoenix Point, I’m reminded of that other timeless tale of planetary defence, Men in Black. Specifically the Noisy Cricket - a tiny, chrome gun with a big punchline when fired: a huge explosion and enough recoil to plant Will Smith’s rear in a nearby windscreen.

There was a similarly-sized gun, sat innocuously in the UI for half of my first session with Phoenix Point, that I completely overlooked - until I found that a little rocket icon appeared on-screen when it was equipped. I learned if I clicked on the rocket icon and then on a section of ground near the crab-like creatures that are Phoenix Point’s enemies, half the screen would detonate - yielding a flurry of permanent status effects as the crabs lost the use of their claws, legs, and various other faculties.
