I'm asking that myself right now.
Everything interesting seems to happen to him.
Providing overwatch on a UFO raid? suddenly flanked by heavy alien infantry. he blows their heads off and rendevous with the squad for mop-up with only minor wounds.
Sectopods kill or critically wound literally everybody else, and are about to kill him? SURPRISE CRIT MOTHERFUCKER!
sectoid commander has greater mind merged a fuckton of enemies? oh look at this 100% crit chance.
I'm running out of fucking medals to give him.


I'm starting to think JapanIndia gave him to me because he fucking scared them. His aim isn't even that wild for a sniper, just 98, but he's still an ayyy slaying MACHINE.

Badass is appropriate for now, but he's quickly outgrowing that term.

A psionic squadsight sniper with a MoH, star of terra, immunity to crits, 110 effective aim, 120 willpower, and 18 HP with flight-capable archangel armor.
At this rate it won't be that he won't die because he's lucky or anything, he won't die because the reaper will be scared of him too.

The Death's Head is just squad 44's motif, all 4 of them wear it, though I think with Carmine wearing it the other 3 are hardly worthy anymore.

On the topic of his squad, how many have died in total.

Alright lemme break down those perks there on the side for those who don't play XCOM

headshot: every 3 turns he can take a shot with a higher than normal crit chance
squadsight: as long as he has a line of fire, he can substitute a squad member's sight range for his own
disabling shot: he can fire a low damage shot that disables the target's weapon
in the zone: if he kills an enemy who is in the open or otherwise flanked, the previous shot does not consume a move. despite the defense bonus from flying being counted as half cover, killing flying enemies triggers this perk.
grenadier: he carries 2 grenades for every 1 in his inventory. not that he needs them.
bring 'em on: his crit chance increases for every enemy he can see. remember squadsight?
resilience: immune to crits
mindfray: basic psionic attack
urban combat badge: reduced penalty for shooting at enemies in cover
Medal of Honor: aim bonus for every mission finished without friendly casualties
star of terra: defense and willpower bonus for entire squad.

well our two MECs in the A-team who weren't part of squad 44 got killed by sectopods, and khan nearly joined them so he's the new squad MEC, but otherwise no losses.

Everything bar sprite upgrades can be found during missions/arcade.
Even then you can just grind for crowns and convert it to energy

Yep.
And even then, said sprite upgrades are given to you for free. Well, the first ones you get. If you want to make a new sprite, you'll have to buy new sprite upgrades.
also if you want other ultimates as well (I think? I haven't bothered much with sprites anyways, despite beating 10-3.)

Sprite catalysts unlock higher tier sprites and their ultimate abilities
If you want a new sprite you have to buy a sprite crate from the premium store
Or get it in one of those box things
Or whatever desperate move OOO is doing for money now

they might get more money if they release more missions/fixed the FUCKING HEAT CRYSTALS
it's much better to bring in new sources of revenue than squeeze it out of the people who will (gradually) leave since there's no good new content. really hope they release the 11 missions soon.

There's so much stuff they could do but I'm pretty sure it's dead at this point.
They're testing/releasing a mobile game called Rise of Knights which is pretty much just a knock off of Final Fantasy: All The Bravest but with the SK characters.
All they're really doing at this point is just fixing minor bugs and will then cut the servers down once it stops being profitable.
