Below is a concise, usable blog post explaining what the trainer fling is, how to perform it, safety/compatibility notes, and creative uses.

How to Download and Install (Safe Method)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Verify your game version: Run XCOM: Enemy Within. On the main menu screen, look at the bottom right corner. The Fling trainer typically works with v1.0.0.5445 or the final official patch. (Steam auto-updates to the correct version).
2. Download the trainer: Search for XCOM Enemy Within Trainer on the official FLiNG website. Download the .zip or .rar file.
3. Extract the files: Use WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract the .exe file to your desktop. Do not run the trainer from inside the zip folder.
4. Disable Antivirus (Temporarily): Many antivirus programs flag trainers as "hack tools" (a false positive). Add the trainer's folder to your antivirus exclusions list.
5. Run the game: Launch XCOM: Enemy Within as you normally would (via Steam or shortcut).
6. Run the trainer: Right-click the Fling_XCOM_Enemy_Within_Trainer.exe and select "Run as Administrator."
7. Listen for the sound: You should hear a "click" or "ding" sound. The trainer’s text will change color (usually from red to green).
8. Press the hotkeys: In-game, press NumPad 1. You’ll hear a confirmation sound. Test it by walking your soldier into the open.

Troubleshooting: Why Isn't It Working?

If you press Numpad 1 and your soldier still dies, check these three things: XCOM: Enemy Within — Trainer Fling Guide XCOM:

1. Numlock is ON: The trainer uses the number pad, not the number row above the QWERTY keys.
2. Running as Admin: Right-click the trainer > Properties > Compatibility > Run as Administrator.
3. Game Version: Steam auto-updated? The trainer might be broken. Check FLiNG's website for an "Update 3" version.
4. Windowed Mode: Some trainers require Fullscreen Exclusive mode. Tab out, tab back in.

The "Must-Have" Options

• NumPad 1: Infinite Health (Player Units): Your soldiers will never take damage. Note: This usually applies to MEC suits and SHIVs as well.
• NumPad 2: One-Hit Kill: Any shot that lands (even a 1% pistol shot) kills the alien instantly. Be careful with explosive weapons, as they might still damage the environment.
• NumPad 3: Infinite Money: Instantly set your Spacebucks (credits) to 99,999. Build the Officer Training School, Foundry, and Alien Containment on Day 1.
• NumPad 4: Infinite Meld: The rarest resource in the game. With this, you can build MEC troopers and gene mods for your entire barracks.
• NumPad 5: Infinite Elerium: Power your advanced weapons and Plasma tech instantly.
• NumPad 6: Instant Actions (No Cooldown): This is the most powerful (and dangerous) option. It allows a single soldier to move, shoot, reload, and overwatch in the same turn. It breaks the action economy completely.

What is the "Fling" Trainer?

Unlike cheat engine tables that require manual searching, "Fling" (often stylized as FLiNG) produces standalone trainers. These are lightweight executables that run alongside your game. For XCOM: Enemy Within, Fling’s trainer is famous for its stability and ability to work with the 2015 "EW" expansion pack (version 1.0.0.9543+). Verify your game version: Run XCOM: Enemy Within

Creative uses

• Hilarious screenshots: fling soldiers into the sky, onto UFOs, or into impossible poses.
• Speedruns: skip sections (only where allowed by category rules).
• Machinima: create cinematic shots with unnatural camera angles.
• Bug hunting: document and report reproducible glitches to modders or developers (constructive reporting helps patches).
