XCOM 2 - Advent Stun Lancer Interview

The Stun Lancer is, according to the devs, the most psychotic unit in XCOM 2.

This ADVENT soldier has no regard for his own safety. He will sacrifice everything to get close to your soldiers, Commander. Then he will stab them … with an electrified blade. ADVENT’s most aggressive soldiers are more than willing to sacrifice their own lives to crush all resistance to the regime.

In an interview more information is provided.

Thanks Eye.
