>Thats why I specifically mentioned in Firefights, where the person tracked could Suppressed or there could be Overwatches on the field from enemy's in High Cover.

You'd just use stock or combat protocol to break overwatch/suppression. Or worst case scenario grenades. And the only time I see multiple enemies go on overwatch rather than shoot is when they're disoriented and have too low of a chance to hit anyway. It's too specific of a situation.

It'd be better if his range were increased so you'd have to dash away from the shot. It would rob that soldier of a turn which would be bad but not devastating. It's kind of what the Warlock does already; you have to use your turn to kill his dumb zombies instead of doing something useful.

Why does bluescreen ammo deal increased damage to spectres but a skirmisher's whiplash doesn't? Fucking hell, Jake.

The XCOM project is thereby terminated.

>>188373713
Once you get plasma and can set them on fire, yes. Also works against Crysalids since they can't melee when on fire. Also works against you, never run through fire for a melee strike.

It's actually not that bad once you realize that the Commander has to get to the evac zone and doesn't automatically leave in 4 turns. Just camp near the zone.

Wait so if you get the breakthrough to increase damage of all base weapons by 1, you literally get free mag weapons?

>>188374360

Month 4, roughly. My personal research priority is modded weps -> biotech -> captain autopsy -> nanoscale vest -> faceless autopsy -> mag weapons. By then I probably have 2-3 scientists and I can snag mag weapons in month 4 and plated armor in month 5. That sates me for a while, then I try to get psionics/elerium, relevant autopsies, and trend towards beam weapons. Once you have mag weapons, you're good until andromedons start showing up. You have a bit of breathing room.

It would be nice to have burning and stun though.

>>188374772
Mag weapons have better crits, one more slot and still higher damage.
More importantly, you can't get the same breakthrough twice so its pointless in the end game.

Is anyone else getting crashes when trying to customize the WotC characters?

>>188375029
That must be an interesting way to begin interrogating a possible suspect who BEEPBEEPBEEPED the Alien TSA Scanner

>>188375232
Once you realize Tygan is shitting you when he said the breakthrough never going to proc ever again if you ignore it, you can ignore breakthroughs during early game during the rush for mag weapons. All breakthroughs you haven't researched yet going to keep proc during end game until you researched them

>>188376392

The AI isn't actually better in a Better AI except for mimic beacon behavior (i.e., mutons will just shoot at it instead of run into the open to melee it). But it also takes away the Stunlancers' shtick and they mostly just shoot.

It's just unnecessary.

>>188376603

The enemies are not unique enough to justify them. The only one I liked is the specialist ADVENT or whatever it is that can explode your own grenades. With the addition of new enemy types in WOTC I see no reason why anyone would use it.

Increased enemy count is also completely unbalanced even if you use a ton of mods to try to fix it. Too many corpses, too much experience, timer adjustments are either too much or too little, etc.

The cheating also only applies if you're on non-Legend.

Legend is still easy late-game.

FUCK! I am new but this game can get shitty sometimes. I feel like grenadier spam is the only way to blow these aliens out because taking actual shots is garbage.

I am addicted to guaranteed damage and this mission made me take other units. My two grenadiers were tired and wounded.

The problem with xcom 2 is that when you are new it's hard as fuck.

But then you get more grizzled and start abusing OP shit like made spam, banish repeater, mimic beacons etc.

How the fuck dare you come into this general and spew your retarded cockgobbling horseshit? Where do you get the fucking nerve to actually fire back at the people who call you out on your shit?

You absolute fucking retarded shit. There is no fucking justification for the fact that you're still alive on this earth. The thought that you could be this fucking STUPID is utterly inexcusable. No one in your life can be fucking forgiven for allowing you to live this long. If there were any justice in this fucking world you would have killed yourself long ago, let alone when you were stupid enough to fuck up this bad and get objective fucking evidence of what an absolutely abhorrent and inexcusable sack of fucking shit you are.

Fucking kill yourself. This isn't a joke and it's not cunting 4chan banter. Kill yourself now. If you have any goddamn decency, you will kill yourself. It's the only thing you will ever do with your miserable excuse of a life that will have any positive benefit for the world. You slime. You fucking cunt. I want more than anything to stomp your fucking head in. I wish I could. I ought to be commended for it. Nothing can justify your fucking existence.

It's the only class that can take up to 6 different shots on the same unit in a single action, and target other units with the remaining shots if the target dies before you're done emptying the superior extended magazine. ~63% to trigger a superior repeater. On ANY enemy, including alien kings

>>188379785

People say to build the resistance ring first, but I still build GTS first since with Lost and Abandoned you can get an almost guaranteed sergeant before the first retaliation mission. Having a squad size of 5 just helps so much. It puts me behind on covert actions, but the extra squaddie is worth it. Hell, I got super lucky on my last run and got two promotion covert ops that let me have squad size 2 before May. Game was much more manageable after that. Afterwards, I build either resistance comms or proving grounds depending on whether or not the continent bonuses are good. By the time it's done, you should be able to see the bonuses of your starting continent and one or two adjacent continents. Infirmary is a trap because weariness means you need a huge roster anyway, which makes fast healing less meaningful. If you're taking so many hits that you NEED it, then just scan at the templar HQ.

>>188382128

They weren't "revealed" because they weren't in concealment (besides the Reaper, which they didn't attack). You don't get concealment on the Chosen base. The enemies spotted my soldiers when they entered their LOS, as normal. The only abnormal thing was when they attacked during the same turn.

>>188382519
They don't.
However, they rather target five other faggots hugging each other with a 100% accurate area attack than wasting time on a 85% chance hit on a single dude.

>>188382519
No, and enemies are unaware of Mindshields/Solace too. Had the Hunter throw a daze grenade at four soldiers, all of whom were in my psi trooper's radius - nothing happened. Side note, Priests will try to use Stasis on meme beacons - it won't affect them at all.

Well, I'm stuck with the reinstall. I can't figure out what's the issue, but it keeps crashing on me when I try to modify the appearance of any of the new units. (Skirmisher, Templar, Reaper) I'll make the changes, then try to exit the customization menu, and the game freezes. I've tried dropping the graphics, which helped one time, then it went back to freezing, I don' thave any mods installed, and I've made no edits to any .ini files.

Priest is a non-issue. He'll never attack first, only stasis one guy. Stunners might give you some trouble, but if you throw a flashbang then you might be able to neuter all three and give you some time. You did build a flashbang as soon as you got on the Avenger like a good little boy, right?

When you train soldiers and pick their classes it bumps them to Sergeant, theres no reason to not have a bunch of those laying around the barracks for at least the covert ops that require that. But I always skip those missions anyway.

Small point, but I'm pretty sure the elders are just describing the core emotions that make up the Chosen.
Hunter still /our guy/ though.

why? when it improves upon xcom 2 in every way

That's just with a specific resistance order.

Why are they so much better than the final product then?

I'm laughing at all the literal firaxis shills "playing" Bore of the Chosen

as we all know, goldhawk interactive mastered the true successor to ufo defense

hello you lose the game if they are

Is it just me, or does special ammo not apply to the Hunter's pistol? I've been trying to Bluescreen shit with it and it didn't seem like it worked.

Yes, that's why you're supposed to use the GTS for rookies.

Commander's Choice is a little too cheaty for me, though I understand why people want it for role-playing purposes.

>>188387108
Because elders are old arrogant deceitful farts that never saw combat until they met you?

Because early on chosen are also shit-tier until they train up after meeting your bullets?

I think you would actually benefit from watching someone who is even a bit competent playing xcom, because this single posts shows that you have absolutely no idea what you are doing. I'll write out some pointers anyway to hopefully give you some direction:

First off, flashbangs disorient enemies. Disoriented enemies can't use abilities, have penalties to aim, and it ends active psionic effects like psi-zombie and mindcontrol (Build and take a flashbang with you).
You get funding at the end of the month, engineers clearing out space gives money, rumors can give money, the black market can give money, mission rewards can give money, contacting new regions increase supply drop income.
Basically, the cash is out there, you just have to go get it.
Also, the Reaper is the best of the hero classes imo, so take this information and try to think about how you might be using her wrong. Concealment is very strong, having perfect intel on enemeis is very strong, having free flanks and explosives on enemies is very good.
