Rookies are useful bullet sponges

I finally included the pastebin on expansion but forgot to meme arrow it. I'm a failure.

Let's be real tho, links being in meme arrows are fucking annoying since you can't triple click -> right click -> go to page.

>less than a day from new weapons tech
>mission pops up

why is this allowed

>>182439616
You couldn't do it without the memearrow, because the "- post reveal info" part gets highlighted too.
Just tick Linkify URLs in the options.

>>182431675

Yes, there are special sitrep missions that are missions with special conditions, like "you can only send two soldiers" and stuff like that, there's the lost missions where you fight tiberium zombies, there's a horde mission where you fight hordes of lost, the Berserker queen and Archon King have their own missions like the Viper King, each Chosen has their own stronghold that you can take, each Chosen has their own "i shoot down your avenger scrub" mission if they gain too much knowledge and each resistance faction has their own mission you need to do to gain them as allies.

What alien champion is missing after assassin and warlock? There's mind control and stealth, both pretty faggy subversive classes, is there gonna be some big beefy explosive fucker?

>>182440232

The third one is a sniper, so you have CLOSE RANGE?! You have medium range and long range.

>>182440232
Are exploding skeleton zombies not explosive enough for you?

>>182440353

Isn't that the Assassin?

>>182440232

The Warlock can stasis himself while his ghosts fuck you and he summons explosive zombies, so given that the third Chosen is a sniper i think the Warlock is the "tank" of the group.

>>182440453

feels like a missed opportunity

>>182441161

It will be though, they explicitly said you will fight them in the last mission, and that there is a new ending cutscene.

Although i think maybe they said you only fight them in the last mission if you didn't kill them during the campaign, but i'm not sure about that.

>>182441225
it is only if you didn't kill them during the campaign

>>182441161

The new alien hunters setup would allow that setup

Imagine that

>do 4 damage to the viper king
>berserker queen spawns
>run one soldier away from it
>archon king spawns
>kill yourself

Does a sectoid's mindspin ever hit? What does it even do?

>>182441225
I really hope the cool intro cutscene bit is not exclusive to those who ignore the chosen.

I doubt you can get rid of their copies by flashbanging them. We don't really know anything except that "they make dark copies of your soldiers".

>>182442209
Games aren't important

>>182445086
revival protocol clears the copy, so there's that

>>182445601
so does the real one turn unconscious? That's worse than mind control imo if the copy spawns near the aliens.

>>182445842
that's what I'm thinking

I know you can kill the copy without repercussions, so maybe they are just stunned until it's dead/wears off and get back up

Is there a mod that spreads packs around maps more? I am really sick to death of every pack spawning right next to each other. It makes most classes completely fucking useless. There's no point to anything but grenadiers and snipers because of it.

Is this good vid on the expansion?

>>182450758
They are us, you dingus.

Looked at one way, they're probably the part of us that has suffered the most under Advent because they were hybridised and mind-controlled to be perfect slaves.

Skirmishers and freed Advent Hybrids should be made welcome with open arms, especially since they're apparently so willing to go slap their former bosses around.

You just make a mods folder in your XCOM game folder and put the unzipped folders in there. Then you activate them with whatever mod launcher you are using. They probably won't have a name in the vanilla mod launcher, but the alternate mod launcher has the details for them and lets you name them.

The rest of my squad were fighting ayys out front.
I thought I was being sneaky running my stealth ranger up to turn off the beacon.

RIP the sacrifice and a blood crazed slav.

Is it just me, or do the Archons just look like they're purely machines? They look like a machine made to look fairly human, not the other way around.

Tygan keeps saying they're a twisted combination of man and machine under their exterior, but to me they just look like flying androids.

Floaters in EU/EW were flying fleshy pieces of anger and rage. Archons are much more collected and calm.

You're misunderstanding.

The Skirmishers give you an order that you can apply that means ADVENT soldiers may turn on their pod during missions.

It is only Advent soldiers because it is basically the Skirmishers liberating one as a sleeper agent on that mission.

They are full of chemicals and genemods so probably not very good, but not wery bad either. More like the "I'm not strugling to keep it down, but I wouldn't eat it if I had a choice" category.
However they are big and well muscled, so killing a couple of pods is a great way to feed an entire outposts.

That's what kind of bugs me. They've been really pushing the reaper and skirmisher, but have been pretty tight lipped on the templars. I just hope they aren't as tacked on as the psi class was and are some sort of major plot point in this new narrative they're going with for the expansion.
