Fairer Mimic Beacons attempts to balance mimic beacons in XCOM 2. The AI will now treat Mimic Beacons like any other soldier instead of blindly attacking it. Mimic Becaon defense has been decreased by 20% to make it slightly more attractive for some enemies. It has been given a 25% Dodge chance to compensate for its lack of defense. Its HP has been decreased from 12 to 10.

Now there is some strategy in using it. Putting it in the open will now increase the chance enemies attack it, but will greatly lessen its survival (and being 1-shot by crits). Putting it in cover will lessen its chance of being the target, but possibly soak up more attacks. It can also be used to false-flank the enemy.
