obviously the fixes affect the base game too, but you need to be more specific about your gripes if you want me to go into details

Are we still fighting nothing but ADVENT and straight up humanoid "aliens"?

>>386082270
>humanoid "aliens"
Just like every entry in the series including UFO?
If anything the new hybrid enemies offer a lot more variety in terms of gameplay

>>386082846
Sorry Jake, if it's not got aliens then fuck yourself, for real.

Could be a case of me thinking too highly of myself but I generally end up being picky about my game buddies because of the same reason. Not enough of a normie to play a lot of big stuff like CSGO or DotA or whatever but also not autistic enough to like weebery or get super obsessive about most games. Strategy games, RPGs, card games, and a sprinkling of action games is the light and the truth.

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Hunter's Axe" bullshit that's going on in the XCOM system right now. Katanas deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.
I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine katana in the ADVENT Recreational weapon center for 2,400,000 Adv (that's about 2,000 supplies) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even cut slabs of solid alien alloys with my katana.

ADVENT smiths spend years working on a single katana and fold it up to a million times to produce the finest blades known to the galaxy.

Katanas are thrice as sharp as XCOM axes and thrice as hard for that matter too. Anything a Hunter's Axe can cut through, a katana can cut through better. I'm pretty sure a katana could easily bisect a Ranger wearing a W.A.R suit with a simple vertical slash.

Ever wonder why United nations never bothered conquering Space? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Chosen and their katanas of destruction. Even in During the invasion, XCOM soldiers targeted the Chosen with the katanas first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? Katanas are simply the best sword that the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the XCOM system. Here is the stat block I propose for Katanas:

KATANA
DAMAGE 8-9
ARMOR PIERCE 5
Cannot miss.

Now that seems a lot more representative of the cutting power of Katanas in real life, don't you think?

tl;dr = Katanas need to do more damage in XCOM, see my new stat block.

It doesn't even look like a katana, it is just a weird elongated dagger
