Among the many different mission types and structures throughout Phoenix Point, evacuating civilians and VIPs to safety is a chief objective that occurs often.

While keeping them safe can be accomplished by defeating all of the enemies in the area, getting them out of the line of fire all together is a way to guarantee they won’t die.

How to Evacuate Civilians in Phoenix Point

In order to evacuate a civilian in one of these missions, you’ll need to locate them first. They can be identified as the non-pandorian characters that are cowering in fear, just waiting to be rescued.

To start the evacuation process, head into the designated tiles surrounding them. Once you do, they’ll be added to the character list that you use each turn.

Once it is their turn to move, have them run toward the yellow evacuation zone.

When inside the yellow zone, press the input prompt labeled evacuate. They will board the ship and be safe.

Do all of that and all of your civilians will be safe and sound in no time.

Time needed: 5 minutes

In short, you need to do the following to evacuate civilians in Phoenix Point

  1. Start a mission that has an objective for saving/evacuating civilians.

  2. Locate the civilian.

  3. Walk into the designated tile space surrounding them.

    Doing this adds them to your character list, allowing you to move them.

  4. Once it is their turn, move them toward the yellow zone on the board and press the evacuation prompt.

That is everything you need to know how to evacuate civilians in Phoenix Point.
