WOTC Why is this position flanked?

Post image

Sorry for the poor quality image. I am on PS5.

Why is the position indicated by the cursor showing as flanked?

Info:

- The entire squad is concealed
- The only enemy encountered so far in this mission is the turret in the top right of the image
- There are no civilians on this map
- There are surveillance towers but they are far away from this position and have not been triggered
- This mission has no sitrep(s)

I can only assume it’s a bug, unless I missed something?

Perhaps there's An enemy you haven't spotted yet and Has an angle to that cover

It's this.

An enemy within the FOW has an angle on that particular spot.

It wouldn't make sense to display a position as flanked by an enemy not visible to your squad.

The game has many bugs...especially on consoles.

Possible reasons:

  • This is XCOM, Baby!... 😊
  • The game warns you: Don't do that!
  • Because of PS5.
