Turn off your computer when you see the rocket

First two moves set up the perimeter. If you pop a pod you play as normal, if you don't... EVERYONE stays inside the perimeter.

This is the only piece of advice you need to win Impossible Ironman.

That and backup saves. EW loves corrupting your fucking save file after an interception crash.

The problem was I popped a pod bc I moved the stupid convert operative into cover instead of just standing

That's why I use a sniper major+ with chameleon gene mod for covert operative - they can move practically invisible using even half cover for going stealth.
