Usually, these come in the form of Council Missions where you’ll be extracting some VIP that will give you a hefty amount of Intel. It’s incredibly useful in the Black Market, after all. But you’ll need to get those, first.Īlso, whenever there is a mission available that will provide hefty Intel, you should take it so you’re not running low on it ever. Additionally, certain scanning boosts that you equip will grant you even more. You’ll gain some every day this way, so long as you continue scanning. This is also how you’re able to pass the time easily when there’s nothing else for you to do.
The most steady way to increase your Intel is by scanning at your Resistance HQ. It’s how you can buy stuff on the Black Market as well as how you’ll expand your reach around the world and make contact with other Resistance points. One of the most valuable resources besides Supplies is Intel. You’ll be in charge of the field and combat, as well as the base and its productions. It will increase the amount of contacts you can have. Contacting a region costs intel, and takes up a one of your available contacts, which can be increased by building a resistance comms room in the avenger.
XCOM 2 will have you taking the role of a Commander of a human army going against the alien threat. Excavate your base (which you should constantly be doing anyway) and get some engineers working on it pronto.
