Pistols CAN be useful
In Enemy Within, if your sending an assault as an undercover agent, run n gun goes surprisingly well with pistol
For sharpshooters, if you're out of ammo, a pistol shot can be useful. Also, cover fire and lightning hands are pretty decent.

>>135183473
I don't think that's how you gunship anon, there is too much guns and not enough ship
I can't wait until mods with some serious modeling/animation work start coming out. I really want to see attack dogs, SHIVs, and entirely new/ported enemy types in XCOM 2.
should i put down squid or abandon?

You can't take squid with you, firebrand doesn't allow it

I don't understand
You can never have too much guns
>>135183718

No such thing, my dear friend. You can never have enough firepower.
>>135183926
Abandon the mindguy last, as it will lose the mindcontrol. I made a mistake (yeah i was dumb) evaccing the psiops first while I have 3 others still one turn away from evac point, and ended up having to deal with tentacles.

My point being that the majority of the world enjoys mindless unchallenging entertainment every once in awhile. I mean even vidya is really just something you do to kill time until you have shit to do again.
>>135192538
You mean grindfest simulator.
>>135192819
I mean even 4chan is really just something you do to kill time until you have shit to do again.
>>135192721shut up
>>135192819
Any kind of entertainment exists to kill time. It's just that some are mindless and stupid, and others are not.
>>135192890
Wrong, Baneposting serves a purpose. If we don't make the fire rise, innocents die as a result.
>>135192834
doesn't really feel like a grind to me

>Baneposting saves people
No, it doesn't you fucking hothead.
Baneposters kept calling in their fucking meme and those 150 people were crashed on the plane, none survived. The fire rose in the media about the events that transpired, and it was found that the hired co-pilot had a lot of loyalty to his depression, to the point where he said nothing to his employers. Baneposting kills, brother.
>>135193431
I wonder why ayyyy removed the berserker's skin. You got all that fatty tissue just hanging off the muscle you could probably cut some off and use it to cook
Man this wall is filling up fast
>>135193705
You let Santa die, you fucking piece of shit?
>>135193705
>Doom Mask
Why did you even go on that mission
>>135193564
Ofc i know about this, it's even on TV AGAIN where i live
I still wait for the moment when the medias will talk about the baneposting and 4chin
>>135193667
I think the white is actually bone, or some exoskeleton. The red is the skin/muscles
Just look at the mutons they are the same, but without hypertrophia
>>135193985
For the mask of course
>>135194094
Dr Doom would never let you have his mask, and he could just slaughter both XCom and ADVENT
>>135193656
>trying to frame me as a hothead while claiming Baneposting kills
Nice try, hothead. Your vernacular suggests that you were formerly Initiated. Tell me, what events led to your elevated cranial temperature?
>the hired co-pilot had a lot of loyalty to his depression, to the point where he said nothing to his employers
kek
>>135194165
If we took his mask would he die?
>>135193667
sorry, correcting myself (>>135194024)
The white IS actually the skin, and the red seems to be protruding muscles. There's no fat on this monster
>>135193929
Snake pulled them out of full cover into an exploding gas station
>>135194165
Seeing as he was not there on that mission im guessing advent some how snagged his mask, think if i returned it to him
>>135193667
>>135194024
>Berserkers are actually mad all the time because they have no skin and are in constant pain and agony
>>135194287
The fire must rise in your head in order for you to become one with the mask.
And in regards to Dr Doom's mask, it would be extremely painful
No seriously
I hope Firaxis won't nerf Flashbangs
>wasting 5 turns of blue moves and overwatch looking for the last pod
>they were moving around without killing any civilians
>>135194367
was gonna say something like this, but with the twist that the ayys added some natural combat stim to them but could only get it to release in situations with extreme pain
I would fuck a facless (both in disguise and natural form) rather than a snek
But, given the chance, I would fuck none of them
>>135194708
>missing a line
I want CIA agents to leave
>>135194541
So you are the one of the big guys who achieve Initiation through standing on the edge of the abyss of hotheaded-ness? Bravo, Brother. Be careful not to let the fire consume you.
Mr. Doom is a big guy, I'm sure he could cope.
>>135195032
what's that silly text mod, friend
>>135195138
They are too big to leave
alright, who let the fucking sectoids in here again?
>>135195096
y tho
>>135195408
CIA is not a big guy, he should have no trouble exiting.

Flashbang disable melee and skills.
Berseker has only melee attacks so a disoriented one can't attack
How the fuck do I get over losing a soldier, /xcg/? I can't finish a mission unless they all come back home alive. I can't resist using my God Commander time powerssavescumto keep them alive
>>135195654
They are squishy and warm, not like sneks, who are cold blooded and venomous
>>135197941
stop getting them killed.
:^)
>>135197941
Flashbang and beacons
Replace flashbangs with psi ops or proving ground ammo and nades
>>135197941
If you're like me and you genuinely care for every last one of your little army men, you're robbing yourself a unique videogame experience by savescumming. Mourn them instead of retconning their deaths, the emotional impact is worth it.
>>135197983
>cold blooded
That just means they like to cuddle more, you can't tell me you wouldn't want to cuddle a snek on the sofa during a cold, rainy day.

Yep. It's one of the things that make me love XCOM so fiercely. The permadeath, and the emotions it stirs up.

>>135194347
>white has to be bone and red has to be muscle
Guys c'mon, that dsoesn't make the least bit of sense mechanically and you know it. Occam's razor here. The red is just red-colored boney plating/callused flesh, the white is just skin. Berserkers haven't been flayed alive and having your muscle bulging out of your skin would be horribly ineffective and actively hinder your ability to both move and not suffer infections.
Infections that the ayys are likely vulnerable to now that they have not only earth-based DNA incorporated, but human DNA.
This is my last surviving soldier on a black site mission and this muton has been hot on my tail the last few turns and I finally have them!

While it's true the best XCOM defense is purging with fire sometimes a bringing a beacon or one or two cheap but powerful flashbangs can save your troopers butts
>>135200053
I felt legitimately sad when my middle aged Canadian colonel with a toupee was killed, its nice building up little accidental back stories for them and then watching them die to bullshit
>>135197941
Save them to the character pool, they are awaited in Valhalla.
You will see them again in the next campaign, they will get another chance.
>>135200467
I like how the Blacksite smokestack is poking up in the back there.
>>135200761
Oh neat I didnt notice when I took this.
>>135200602
Hell, I have a whole character pool of distinct characters. Siblings, spouses, lovers, friends, fathers and sons... Every campaign, I get to wonder who will make it, and who will die in front of someone they love.
>>135200467
>unique weapon icon
Which should i eliminate
Viper rounds, alloy padding or facless per mission?
Hes so close!
>>135201196
Alloy is the most annoying
More Faceless=more loot more corpse more beacons
>>135201196
what are the mission types
>>135201196
Either alloy padding or faceless, viper rounds don't matter if you kill them first and play smart
>>135201108
The Halo weapons have a unique icon for the weapon, unique icon for the (invisible) attachments, and unique sounds.
And there's even a battle rifle, as an in-between for rifles and snipers.
It's a great mod, I eagerly await the addition of the Cannon and Pistol replacements he has planned.
>>135201229

hello darkness my old friend

Hunker down and pray
>>135201350
the hardest is alloy padding (but its a device protect) and it will give me a scientist
faceless is a train robbery and will give me an engineer
viper is a train hack and will give me 162 supplies

Don't do that. I got two Irish sisters that way.
One got captured. Then the other one got killed before I could rescue her sister.
>>135202824
That's a Blacksite mission, youset up X4 chargesthen you can choose your EVAC Spot wherever you like, as long as Firebrand can safely extract units in at least one tile.
>>135202612
Perfectly executed, Commander.
>>135202918
but you do have fixed evac on blacksite
and 2 reinforcements coming down on you after completing the objective
>>135202824

is the first Blacksite just voluntary?

>im giving my 2 weeks notice once we land fuck this job
So did the most recent patch fix the performance of the game for anyone - only to completely fuck up the game in every other way?
I can finally get a stable 60fps at max settings, but now the ADVENT and Aliums don't do....anything....they just stand there and watch.
Other bugs and shit too.
Maybe it's just this campaign that is bugged. I dunno.
Anyone know what I need to alter in the ini for Smokes to actually work, and to fix Hazmat suits?

Does anyone else have the problem of XCOM continuing to run a couple of minutes even after quitting it?
>>135206287
Yeah, it has issues with how it shut down is coded, they obviously didn't consider it a priority as most people will never notice it
>>135205729
The elders wish to know how you will be taking responsibility for this big fat snek belly mr anon. Do you have a job?
>>135205582
nope, one mission my soldier was bleeding out and I could pick him up and evac him.
Also, my guy who was shot for 6 HP is gravely wounded but the bleed-out soldier is only "wounded" , thanks Xcom

>>135206498
the wounded system is done funny, the wounded status is randomly picked based on the damage done but the overlap is massive.

>>135205976
>>135207316
Poisoning them doesn't do any good either, their regeneration outheals the damage.
This is not looking good. Not good at all.
If I risk a blue tile move + attack, I risk having her getting killed. These Faceless get to move twice, they're effectively catching up to her like an endless game of cat & mouse.
>>135207278

>>135207576
I believe you can do it Adams did it so can you
>>135207278
It's about as effective as humanity's greatest technology, friend.
Kevlar doesn't do shit against a ferromagnetic slug propelled at velocities that'd make modern firearms manufacturers jizz. And even less against a bolt of plasma. Aramid fibers and ballistic plates are not rated to stop exotic states of matter and will do about as much good as a t-shirt or leather jacket.
>>135207576
>>135207957
Yeah, what would the Legendary Soldier Adams do? He'd find a way to win!
>>135207576
Well how about you try Radio, Snek.
Exactly how many tiles can a Faceless move? If you time it right, you can go into an endless run of cat and mouse until you can safely make a shot. Otherwise, I've heard Poison inflicts a minus 30 aim penalty, if you want to risk rolling snake eyes.
>>135208190
>Exactly how many tiles can a Faceless move
FAR FAR TOO MANY
>>135208190
Enough to serve you at advent burger
>>135207957
>>135208039
She managed to get a reload off, but one of the bastards got her. I don't know how many shots she can pull off before they get to her again.
I seriously hope we can pull this off. I'm starting to hear a tone of fatigue in her breathing already.
May the Legendary Sharpshooter Adams give her strength in this time of need.
>>135208190
Both faceless can move twice, effectively walking right up to her no matter how far she slithers. They can't attack afterwards, however.
Any mods that make ballistic weapons upgradable so they stayuseful?There's so many sicknasty models for them and they become useless by month 2.
>>135204321
Chase... Schafer, Meza, and the others... they didn't fail in their mission. No, far from it. The Commander knew that the facility strike was a suicide mission, and the others... They knew as well. So they made up their minds to open the path for you. They planned it into the slightest detail so that the aliens would focus on them, and you... You were the star of the show. They wanted you to remember them, Chase. Not as soldiers, but as humans. As the people of Earth. As true patriots.
>>135204321
how are they corporals with like no missions or kills?
>>135208927
Squaddie from gorilla school, enough kills to bump up to corporal in first mission
>>135208569
Could you theorically take a hit from a Faceless?
You could take one down and throw dice on the other one missing or not killing you.
1/4th chance, if the poison comes before regen. Otherwise, die like a hero or book it out or there.
>>135208927
One was a reward the other i had got from promotion in the field after using gts to make them a squaddie.

>>135208846 I need to write this into his bio now.
Son of a bitch.
I Installed the SDK a few days ago and tinkered around with it for a few hours to go off and start of new campaign in the base game. Everything was going fine until I got the first mission after Gatecrasher. Which crashed the second it got to the black screen before the loading screen. The crash logs said that it crashed because Visual Studio's Just-In-Time bullshit was disabled. So, I launch the SDK, enable Just-In-Time and try again. This time with the same result, only the crash logs said that nothing crashed the game. It just fucking shat itself for no reason.
Is this just a problem with the SDK, or did Jake seriously use a program that would lead to the game shitting itself regardless?
>>135209218
She's on her last legs, 3 HP left. They're demolishing everything in their way to get her now.
Apparently, maneuvering on roofs seem to confuse them, and they end up wasting a movement action on less tiles at first. I'm trying to devise a plan to kite them around the buildings. I can't give up just yet. All that's left is revenge.

if you throw it in melee range of andros but put it behind cover they will always miss it even though it doesnt get cover bonus, also throwing it in melee range of vipers will result in them trying to bind it, and it will say bind failed, ending their turn

Are you running anti-virus. It's rare but AV programs can block games from running. Try adding the .exes for XCOM 2 and the mod launcher to your exceptions list.
Normally it shouldn't happen to a released game, but it's a common problem for obscure or unreleased titles, or for AV programs that don't update quickly.

I don't even like Halo as a franchise, but I'm busting nuts over these guns. Dem sound effects.
>>135234615
Honestly, Halo's gameplay wasn't really anything to write home about if you were already playing shooters on PC, but it's the little details Bungie got right like sound, armor, and weapon design that still stick out to me to this day.
Plus, I honestly can't think of any other franchise that makes as much sense to port stuff into XCOM 2 as Halo does. It's juuuust futuretech enough to fit XCOM's aesthetic.
Is it normal/expected to have endgame weapons and armor before you even finish building the Psi Labs? Because it never seemed like I had the breathing room to do it before this point. Although that said, it IS my first campaign in the sequel.

Agree about Halo's aesthetic compatibility. I love Mass Effect, but the tech feels too sophisticated to be ported to XCOM.

Replace "everything always under constant control can't actually think for itself lol" with the aliens having enough cognitive function for decision-making, and thus the ability to arrive at the conclusion "fuck the Elders, I want out." Doesn't mean they're the most stable individuals, but in XCOM that's pretty par for the course.
I mean, Tygan was plugged into the system and managed to get out, albeit with some surgery on himself to remove the chip.Besides, XCOM operatives have always been pretty much cannon fodder anyway.

Actually I agree. Eyes are way too small, and should be further apart.
Though nose length doesn't seem that bad - I've seen some long noses. Also, I've seen some women with fairly puffy cheeks/thick cheekbones. But agree on the eye placement, and possible the eye size.

It's Halo 5 armor. A little better that Halo 4's.
>>135253762
You can actually put rookies into it and choose what class they become. It takes a few days, but that's a pretty good way to make sure they become rangers.
>>135253945

>>135254307

The latest patch broken custom voice packs for me (though not anyone else, seemingly, as I can find no one else with the same issue). Don't know how or why. Multiple verified caches (including several where it decided a file was wrong and supposedly reacquired it), unsubbing and resubbing to them, etc. have all proven fruitless.
Now I'm in the middle of a full reinstall to see if that will fix it or if Solomon has banned me from alternative audio for life.

You could probably still use the rest of the computer's parts when you buy a new CPU.

Hey /xcg/, it's hot computer anon from the other day. I took anon's advice to clean out my PC and refresh the thermal paste and the results are good.
She still runs noticeably hotter when playing XCOM but is about 5-10 degrees cooler than before even in stressful conditions, not tipping past the high 70s.
I'll also be looking for a better cooler soon, it was indeed the stock heatsink as anon suspected.
GPU still steady at about 80-82, but other than pulling more dust out of the fan I'm not sure how to get the temp down. That said, I read that my card (780 ti) was designed to run at that range anyway, so maybe I'll just set some kind of fan profile and hope for the best. Don't really want to spend too much keeping it going as I plan to upgrade in the next year to something better.
Just beat Commander Ironman. The last Avatar decided to teleport next to an enraged beserker. After the beserker punched him, he teleported next to the OTHER enraged beserker.
If this is the Ayy leadership, it is no wonder they tried to get the Commander to lead their armies.

Worried about your privacy on the internet in 2016?
I need a mod.
This mod removes the recruit list and just gives a button to buy a random recruit.
This mod also lets me pick what classes rookies become instead of it being random.
FLIP THIS SHIT
>>135266481
we need a mod that brings back the old sectoids.
Also a mod that adds back the spooky atmosphere from EU/EW instead 2's A-to-B alien gauntlets.
>>135266481
>This mod also lets me pick what classes rookies become instead of it being random.
You can already do that in the base game, you cheatfuck
>>135266351
More like worried that microsoft will block any pirated programs and/or programs that are not approved by them
I also don't feel like seeing fucking adware right on the goddamn start menu
I also don't feel like upgrading and updating when my W7 is perfectly fine
This latest patch seems to have made my framerate turn-based.
>>135266481
>This mod also lets me pick what classes rookies become instead of it being random.
That's what the GTS is for anon
Also, if you must, any rookie recruits from a character pool will now promote into their class from the character pool (with the exception of psis, who still need to be trained from Rookie).
>>135266832
I've had Windows 10 since it came out, there's no problems with it. The whole Cortana thing is just about putting product placement in your OS, the rest is tinfoil hat nonsense. Pirated stuff works fine.
>>135265847
someone get this slightly cooler hothead outta here
>>135267185
Good for you man, but you know there's always a catch in "free" shit.
>>135267089
>any rookie recruits from a character pool will now promote into their class from the character pool
Factually incorrect.
>>135267331
No catch so far except for laughing at all the paranoid nutjobs too scared to use it.
>>135196157
I think I figured out how to make Berserkers dangerous
>Enraged Berserkers will run right next to the trooper who enraged them. All attacks made for the Berserker during XCOM's next turn will cause it to attack the closest target if possible
They still maintain the "can attack alliesdebuff, so if you get, say, a shitton of Lancers on your tail plus an enraged berserker and retreat all your troops, the Berkie will go for that thick ADVENT butt
>>135266832
W10 never blocked anything in my computer for now
Turned off Cortana and other shit the very moment i booted my PC the first time
Performance wise i never noticed any difference between 7 and 10 but sooner or later DirectX 12 are going to be a must
>>135267347
And yet 4/4 of the character pool rookies I bought turned into whatever their character pool had them assigned to. Surely that's not purely luck.
>>135267668
>Surely that's not purely luck.
It actually is, as far as i know it only affects the character if is a reward
>>135267470
If you want to make them dangerous you only need disorient status to allow melee attack with an aim debuff
>>135267331
There's no 'catch' because it benefits MS much more by giving the OS away for free rather than charging for it.
By giving it away for free they can guarantee a larger install base than if they charged however much they charge for OSs.
Windows is now a platform, not a service, with more people on 10 they have more potential buyers of their actual services through the app store.
>>135267992
yes, never understimante the moneymaking powers of shit like Candy Crush
>>135267986
I'd rather make them 100% immune to flashbangs. That way they'd have something over the "movito and attackito"Cancer Lancer
>>135267905
Hm. Well, hoping I'm right, in that case. I would hate for Peter Parker to grow up to be a Grenadier. Shit ain't right.
dear /xcg/
I really wanna try Xcom 2 on ironman mode, but im too much of a coward, and i get attached to my squad real easily.

>i get attached to my squad real easily.
time to cultivate a professional distance, commander
>>135268607
There's Punished Hissy as well, earlier in the thread.
>>135268607
if you are familiar with the difficulty then you can try ironman
youll quickly find out altf4 is the longer loadingscreen
its especially handy since it saves always at the start of your turn
>>135268607
Why not just play honestman, and have the luxury of being able to reload when dumb bugs happen.
>>135268607
Instead of Ironman just never do a manual save except when exiting the game. Resist the temptation to save scum. It'll be good for you to exercise your impulse control.
At the moment the bugs make things too risky to put on one save only.
>>135268607
I'm rooting for you fellow commander
>>135266758
20+ days after Gatecrasher, sure.
>>135268607
Adams is with you commander, you can do it.
2 days, commanders.
Coward anon here. Thanks for all the inspiring words. Ill do honestman from your recommendation.Pistols are useful
>>135270276
Give them hell commander.

>>in their bio, write down that they were a clone, made by EXALT or Advent, that were freed by Xcom, during the last days of the original war, and now know no other life but to serve Xcom and save what is left of Humanity.
And there you go. A clone army that can be replaced at any time with no hangups.

Will the new thread be as heroic as this one?
>>135271669
Is making a new thread after image limit and not bump limit OK? I'll do it if it is.
>>135271786
as long there's no furry or airgame shit in the OP it'll be fine
>>135271842
But this OP had both
>>135271786
It should be, I'm makin' a thing.
>>135271826
image limit is a perfectly valid reason to make a new thread
this is, after all, an IMAGEboard, and if you cant post IMAGES on an IMAGEboard, then why post?
