It's a simple, reliable handgun with decent stopping power that has stood the test of time since World War I. It's no longer standard issue for most standard military forces, but it's still the preferred side arm of special forces the world over.

DeSilva decides to suddenly broadcast to us on an open channel where his location is. Needless to say, the aliens mount an assault.

Yeah, the Meld research file refers to the Bureau but that's about it.

The Bureau, on the other hand, blatantly shows that it evolves into EU/EW's XCOM after they redact everything and destroy all their own research progress.

Say you could have a wall breach charge in Xcom 2, how would it work? only do damage to the other side of the wall? How big would the hole be? Would it cost an action to blow it?

Nico originally planned to assist in the assault by blowing the shit out of the ayys as a suicide bomber. Being the ME Paragon lover that I am, I convinced him to evac out of their and help find a cure as a test subject before succumbing to the Sleepwalker bug.

According to Nico, trying to resist the sleepwalker bug is like trying to resist sleep. Except he feels like he's been awake for an entire week.

Of course, that makes things harder for my team but seeing how fucking hardcore they are I think they can smoke the ayys.

>XCOM 2 will feature a self-learning AI-module. The game does feature self-adjusting difficulty, where player performances influences the Alien zeal to expand and infest. Sluggish XCOM responses, total failures, and a bad weekly rating slow the alien build-up of weapons and creatures (but not ships) on their home continent. This gives the player the chance to amend their failures and rethink their strategy. For example, a high rating in first five days can make the Aliens attack your HQ head-on with a large heavily armed mob often. Conversely, a low rating in the first five days can make the aliens only incur twice a week, with a very small force.

Also Engineers are fucking useless until they reach Rank 4 in this game. Shotguns and Scatter Lasers have shit range, but for some reason Engies seem to have a lot of trouble taking cover. Sure they can flush enemies out of cover with Scatter and Mine areas, but they need to get close and the enemies just love to shoot engies.

At least Lamb here can deploy turrets now.

Actually we know dynamic difficulty is in 2 in some form, in the battlescape at least.
>Tactical mission difficulty is a combination of:
>Enemy stats, group sizes, and composition (collectively, the Intensity level);
>The XCom squad's stats, gear, skills, and composition; and
>The unique configuration of map environment and mission objective requirements.
>Enemy Intensity levels will dynamically change throughout a campaign based on various factors. The user selected 'Rookie' difficulty will experience Intensity levels 1-5 through their campaign; 'Legend' difficulty requires players to compete against Intensity levels that range from 3-7. (It's worth noting that the highest Intensity level I've seen on streams thus far was Intensity level 4.)

You can't throw C4 in Xenonauts.
You activate it and drop it on the ground to breach doors and such from a safe distance, usually. If you knew the AI well you could presumably bait them into it somewhat, but bleh. There were a few mods that increased the destructibility of alien craft which would have been useful (but I never used it).

Guys, i need your help. For tens years I've known my friend, through thick and thin. He's had my back when i got bullied, i was there for him when his girlfriend broke up with him and needed a place to stay, we've laughed, cried, and mourned together. After the invasion came around, he and his immediate family got swept up in some odd circles. See we come from different backgrounds, he's from a rich family with lots of political ties, while my family is mostly middle class due to my dad working as an accountant and my mother being an archaeologist. How they met is another story, but i digress.
My friend is an ADVENT sympathizer, and I need to bring him over to our side. Not only would he be a valuable asset to the resistance, I can't stand him being used like this, it's shit. I'm pretty sure he's just being blackmailed or threatened, what the fuck do i do?

If you're heavily modifying soldiers: Rank the replacement up to a decent point, then mod them before you use them as the replacement of your main soldier.
Generally though in LW, it was better to only modify soldiers that needed second heart for will/life protection. The other mods were for building that second generation of super soldiers in the deep late game, cause you're balling in meld.

Motherfucking Titan.

You will take damage if it targets you. The only thing you can do is to not take a direct hit. It will melt the cover you're hiding behind and inflict burning damage afterwards.

The Titan is probably what's left of the generic monolith/blob enemies back when the Bureau was an investigative game.

Also Engineers can't target the damn thing because their weapons are too short-ranged.

Fortunately I had a blaster launcher to even out the score.

It was supposed to be an investigative game at some point?

Would you have slowly uncovered alien activity in the US or were you an agent searching among regular people for hidden aliens?

Does anyone know how much damage reduction does Mind Merge give you? UFOpaedia only says it gives damage reduction, period.

I take it that it depends on the casters will, but whats the formula?

Against unweakened singletargets, yes.
But with a stealth ranger it will be an absolute blast:

>Sniper on high ground, with scope and expanded magazine not to far away
>Ranger move in, found a pod with 3 aliens.
>Sniper use "Kill Zone" over them.
>Enemy turn starts, pod move.... and sniper shot with 3 shots at them.
>Aliens run toward the sniper, end their turn,
>Sniper activate "Serial" and finish them off.
>Reload after that, because of "Death from Above"
>Good times

It's now important to be not that far away anymore. Shooting over the whole map is bad now, but stay closer to the team make the sniper a very good class.

Anyway, I thought about some skills for a future LW gunslinger class. I assume that they will make pistol ammo limited and make them low damage (3/4 damage of rifle), High crit chance weapons and the Class itself highly mobile. 6 shot mags but doesn't benefit from ammo mods
so carrying multiple pistols is recommended

Colonel
>Max Pain
>Dashing into cover automatically fires a free shot at every flank target. 3 Turn Cooldown
>Animation is the classic slowmo dive while firing

Major
>Showdown
>Fires a shot that ignores cover and guarantees a crit with extra damage. Remove user cover bonus as well for that turn so use it as a finisher. 3 Turn Cooldown
>Animation is a western duel, soldier stares at the target with a western sound cue then firing

Captain
>Speedloaders
>Grant a free reload to pistols and autoloaders from weapon mods will affect pistols. Passive

Lieutenant
>Unerring Vigilance
>An enhanced overwatch that guarantees ONE shot against any target that moves. Basically a 360 version of Killzone but you can only shoot everything once and only when they move. Best used on pod discovery. 3 Turn cooldown
>Animation has the soldier lowering his hat like a cowboy

Sergeant
>Pistollier
>Reduce encumbrance from carrying multiple pistols. Remember since ammo is limited, a gunslinger would like to carry multiple pistols, removing their weight turns them into saniacs with a shit ton of pistols at the cost of some grenades etc.

Corporal
>Flank specialist
>Doubles the crit bonus from Flanking and Exposed aliens

Shit, I just realized I need an ACW perk for Opportunist to crit on Overwatch. Or is that too overpowered?

Why would it need to be bigger for this case? Also this isn't my oc so I can't take credit for it. The original was bigger

SO How long will campaigns take in XCOM 2?

Same length as EW, apparently. Assuming you're talking about actual gameplay time, anyway.

If you kill the alien casting mind merge, it will kill/do damage to all enemies that received the mind merge.

So far, so good. The key to getting an early advantage certainly seems to be to use sniper MECs. I'm popping thin men, floaters, and sectoids in a single shot even when they're in light cover with hit chances hovering around 90%. Rest of my guys aren't getting much experience though, and wind up being relegated to grenading cover so the MECs can have their 100% hit chances. Also, that Kinetic Strike Module is hilarious against Chrysilids, one hit instant kill against them or zombies and my MECs usually have the movement range to hit them first, or at least pull far enough back that they can't reach me in one turn.

Geoscape has been good to me this game as well. I had Japan, Australia, and India in full panic, then got my first terror mission in Sydney, which dropped two points of terror all across Asia. I've got three more satellites ready this month, so hopefully there's no major issues between now and month four so I can lock down 3 of 5 of the continents.

>>128941295
You can take down ayy progress on the project by doing blacksite missions though.

damn anon, thats a bummer

>>128914679
>>128915562
>>128913745

I know the game isn't great, but is it worth getting if I can get it for a steep discount, or is it complete shit.

>>128945747
>>128945931
Oh no...

>>128946686
The gameplay is simplistic but the story is interesting despite being somewhat predictable.

Worth getting during a steamsale.

>>128945261
Yes
LW is actually easier in a few expects compared to vanilla
Yes LW is hard, but the point was to make it fair and hard, and some things in vanilla just weren't as easy as there

There is some retarded bullshit in LW tho, like the awful arc thrower chance change

How do I make soldiers start with the correct voices in LW? I like the voicepacks but everyone starts with English (American) and going through all the russian guys to switch them over seems like it shouldn't be necessary.

>>128946934
>the point was to make it fair and hard
Maybe until B14 it was.

>>128927707
The ending is fucking retarded.

Hey, how many times has Carter said he doesn't like taking orders? Remember how little he says stuff like that and it makes everything even stupider.

>>128947386
Part after the twist and the ending are the best parts of the game

>>128947619
Yeah but the way the twist happens is retarded.

What's also retarded is that they kept yelling at you to capture mosaic but then they just kill him and nobody cares about him anymore because you got the special alium.

>>128947934
The way it happens is awesome
It's a great twist and explains why Carter is such a badass throughout the game when everyone knows he's a deadbeat drunk with no self control

Great shit

>>128948106
>Carter we just captured this alien that could stop the entire war!
>I don't care, this thing has been helping me the entire time and been nothing but useful!
>I'm going to shoot it!
>Oops that knocked out all of the power and now all the aliens we've captured are running around.
>Better tell this alien that's helped me through everything to fuck off or I'll bomb the entire facility and doom humanity!

It's fucking retarded.

>>128948508
How is it retarded?
Carter is unstable as fuck and the alien wasn't "helping" him, it was fucking controlling him the whole time

Why would he like that?
He says to him in a cutscene
>I lost everything, but one thing you won't take away from me is myself

He's pissed for a good reason, being made a literal puppet of some alien thingy

>>128949324
>it was fucking controlling him the whole time
They were one entity you retard, the alien thought it was Carter because it couldn't tell the difference between them, it didn't fucking know it was an alien. Carter made every decision and was at no point being controlled by it.

>>128949620
He was being controlled by it the whole time
The alien didn't know what it was, but that doesn't mean it wasn't controlling Carter
You're wrong

>>128949620
>Carter made every decision and was at no point being controlled by it.

But that's wrong. You, the player controlling Carter are the alien. You always were.

You have fundamentally misunderstood the story.

>>128949995
>The alien didn't know what it was, but that doesn't mean it wasn't controlling Carter

Yes it does, how can you unconsciously control someone?

>>128950067
Because the story is fucking dumb. I wish we got the game shown in the demo's before everyone flipped their shit.

>>128950067
I would not be surprised at all if this is the twist in XCOM2.

>>128950237
It's not dumb, the way it pulls it off is pretty smart
Carter might be a dumbass but that doesn't make the story stupid

>>128950321
>Carter might be a dumbass

He's not a dumbass per se but the original Carter is just a horrible human being. He's an alcoholic, he has a temper and he's mentally unstable.

The Fridge Logic lies is noticing later that Alium Carter is much nice person than Real Carter, but it's really subtle and your only exposure to real carter is through profiles of him lying around as easter eggs.

Alright then smart guy you explain it!

Because I haven't played that game in ages so I've been arguing about things I barely remember and I'm starting to feel silly.

The Sectoids in that game were cute though, I remember that.

>>128950521
But Carter lost his whole family to a house fire

>>128950538
>We've been in that suit for the entirety of Xcom EU/EW
>All the time

>>128950538
But why?

>>128950538

So I don't get it. If the tutorial is rescuing the commander, then why do you still have to do that jihad mission at the start?

Also, I get a sneaking suspicion that despite being one of the coolest mission types, bombing the statue is the only one of its kind in the game?

>>128950956
There was a mission on the stream this week where they blew up an ADVENT building.

Yes, the house fire was the beginning of his downward spiral.

That's the full cutscene there's some cool stuff to see
It's not in English but it's not a huge deal

The twist is probably gonna be that you're been under mind control of the Etheral the whole time, that's my guess

>>128950956
I'm kinda confused on the mission types
There's still not one recording of an assassination mission that they mentioned

>>128932794
Short for target or terrorist

>>128936669
as in LSD or as in acid grenades/rounds?

>>128939510
What is this, a picture for ants?

Would the original creator of this step forward with a .psd file? I have a few OP pic ideas and find it hard to edit into anything with a white background for example.

>>128951054

FUCK

I must have missed that one. Got a link?

>>128952192
Go to XCOM 2 official channel on youtube, it's the PSI video

>>128951408

I think assassination just covers the Dark VIP missions, where you can either kill them or extract them for a small bonus.

Don't see why you'd ever not kill them, maybe if they moved, yeah, you could have a situation where they could escape and you'd have to take a shot. Might be a neat challenge to try and hold concealment as long as possible, even though it would mean boxing you in some place.

>>128947386
I don't get it, how does that NOT fit with him going ballistic in the end? Fucking asshole. I always shot him.

>>128952341
>shooting Carter
fucking alien loving scum

>>128952339
>tfw I'll be playing dark VIP missions with full stealth and one sniper.

>>128950896
To conceal the Commander's looks so you can self insert. Even the book barely mentions the commander to avoid giving em an identity.

People who say waiting for enemies to walk into your ambush are so fucking retarded
The game allows for that, you're not installing cheats it's how the game plays out

>Why you exploit the game?
It's not an exploit, and why not use a tactic that can kill shit?
Are you supposed to go easy on the aliens for some reason?

Retards

>>128952712

I hope that there will be mods to flesh out a stealth-based approach, like giving XP for breaking concealment on the objective or beating the mission without triggering a pod.

B-But when I made this thread it was already past the bump limit!

That previous thread went nuts indeed.
