>not having sky blue as default visor

>can't launch flashbang grenades with grenade launcher

what the fuck i hate grenadiers now

>>146242007
you should be able to? my anarchist and grenadier both can, anon.

>>146242087
I can launch smoke grenades (and have them on along with my obligatory 2 plasma nades) but if i try to equip the flashbang in place of the smoke it says "max 1 grenade per soldier"

>>146242228
the game considers flashbangs as a offensive granade, thats why it counts towards your limit of 2
the smoke doesnt thats why you can carry in your item slot

>>146242430
unfortunate. I guess I don't really need it, it's working well enough on my ranger

>>146242547
>>146242228

Just get a mod that disables the restriction, Anon. It's honestly a dumb rule.

>>146240601
>Too early
There are other generals that open a new thread as soon as they hit their image limit. Even if they're only at 400 or so replies.

>>146242547
thats what i used to do, until a sectoid mindcontrolled my ranger and i had no way of killing it that turn
a ranger can deal with a sectoid on its own, and by giving the flashbang to my grenadier
(and it also applies the bonus range and radius) i always have a reliable way to answer to mindspins
but if you already have plasma granades then i dont think you have to worry about it

>>146242228
>>146242007
Any grenades you bring along with the grenadier will launch from the grenade launcher. That one slot just determines which grenade you bring an extra of for the Heavy Ordnance perk.

>>146240601
>too early
>previous thread was at bump limit

>>146243652
Generally you make a new thread a bit after bump limit is hit, not on it or immediately afterward. Let it hit page 7-10. A pretty minor quibble as the original anon noted.

>>146244754
Ship boarding. Because Boarding ships. Map size small. You can either blow up some key components that will cause it too crash for an easy mission but less resources, or take it over in the sky for the full pay out. Very close quarters, tight corridors and rooms.

I've been replaying Enemy Within for the last week or so after not having played it for a long, long while.

I want to thank you all for helping me realize I have to ultra specialize my squads for anti-sectopod duty on anything other than tiny scout shoot downs and abductions. Kinda sucks that I have to devote at least two of my six to full on fuck sectopod builds, or abuse stuff like flush constantly. But better that than having to deal 180 damage to a triple sectopod activation as I open a door.


tl;dr fuck sectopods. I'd rather deal with 90 hp worth of mutons in a single activation.

>>146248179
Yeah, sectopods are really the only thing that can offer a credible threat in the end game. Everything else just dies. Even Ethereals suffer from "dies in one turn" syndrome.

>>146248338
which is weird because ethereals have a chance to reflect all the damage you did back at you. it's horrifying.

still, yeah >>146248179 , fuck sectopods. Fuck them forever.

>>146248338
Honestly, i'm salty. The last few multi sectopod missions i've had ended with dead xcom personel, including a max level sniper with double tap and disabling shot.

I just hate how much the swing is between normal aliens and beep boop fuck xcom sectopods.

>>146248474
It's only percent of the damage I believe.

>>146248516
Are you dragging out the game? What difficulty is this? I don't remember running into that many sectopods in vanilla.

My last classic run it was, one on base defense, two on the Overseer (is that right? can't remember what its called) and the two on the temple ship.

>>146248648
Three in the first battleship shoot down, one in the base defense (which came after)

Three in the god damn base assault. I'm slowplaying, but not overly so. I think i'm in . . . august? or very early september and i'm just now starting hyperwave research.

>>146248648
>Overseer
uh what

>>146248648
oh. i guess that explains some things.

still, you'd figure ethereals were a bigger threat than sectopods. bah.

i caved and bought the dlc pass because i wanted alien hunters and S H E N W H E N but apparently I have to start a new game for the story stuff. that really burns my poffins

i think i'm addicted to modding xcom

i have 491 mods for it

>>146250115
>uh what
The ethereal craft, with the item you need for the gallop chamber. Just forgot what it was called.

how do I deal with xcom2 chryssalids

>>146252328
Scanning protocol, meme beacons, and battle scanners. Medkits so you can counteract the poison.

>>146248179
Holy shit, I don't think I've ever dealt with 3 sectopods on the same turn in EW, not even in I/I. That's some LW shit right there.

What did you hope to indicate in this screenshot, anon?

>>146252449
alien base assault.

the long, narrow room with the containers of human slurry, and the staircases on both sides leading to vivisection bays.

Two sectopods as soon as you go around the corner and peek into the room, and one further back at the door way.

>it was vanilla too

>>146252449
>not even on I/I

There should have been 4 during one of the story missions on lower difficulty.

>>146253537
>There should have been 4 during one of the story missions on lower difficulty.
That is definitely not true.

>>146253537
Uhh, I think you're thinking of LW if anything. Most I've ever run into at once is the guaranteed 2 spawn during the Temple Ship.

>>146253479
Holy shit. That is way too soon. My condolences, anon. Not much any of us coiuld do about that with the EW 2x health sectopods.

Is the accurate swords mod on the workshop considered a cheat or balanced? Makes it so sword rangers are no longer useless since they cannot miss with their swords.

I've noticed that Grimy's Loot Mod is not anywhere in the /xcg/ recommended mods pastebin. Is the mod bad or is the list just out of date?

>>146254424
>mod
Obviously a cheat.

>>146247505
Never. Die in a fire, you fucking stale meme degenerate.

>>146254424
honestly it isn't the accuracy (itself) that breaks rangers. It's that they pop pods trying to do their thing, they get isolated and flanked very easily, and generally can't sustain themselves like stealth shotgun rangers. And on top of this, their swords have a shitty accuracy rating.

>>146254586
It's not bad, some people just think it's cheaty. I use it, Anon.

>>146254586
I don't think I've ever seen anyone speak out against it aside from the usual memery. Go for it, anon.

>>146255075
>>146254864
Alright cool. I'm about to start a new campaign and I think I'm going to try out Grimy's Loot Mod as well as some quality of life improvements like accurate swords, hack plus, and bleed out mod with some other minor mods sprinkled in.

Kill yourself.

>>146255520
Just be sure to download some mods to balance out the difficulty. Grimy's loot mod can give some seriously powerful gear, and if your not fighting extra powerful ayys then its going to be too much of a cakewalk.

>>146255921
indeed, Anon. I really recommend A Better Advent and its plugins.

>>146255921
>>146255998
I just completed Gatecrasher in my new campaign. Would I need to start a new campaign to use A Better Advent?

>>146256398
Dont think so

>>146255998
>>146255921
Is there a way to see enemy unit info in game? I'm a little intimidated by A Better Advent because I fear I'll lose track of what abilities are tied to which units.

>>146256930
I don't thinks so, but I think there's a list somewhere of all the new enemy variants. Will post if I find it.

>>146256930
Also get "A Better Ai" its sweet as for your question i dont think so

>>146256930
Grimy also made a mod called Grimy's Hotkeys, it now has a hot key that displays the stats of the alien you are aiming at

>>146256930
>>146257059
found it.
http://www.derbk.com/Downloads/ABA/ABetterManual.pdf

>>146257104
As I understand it "A Better AI" is the AI improvements already implemented in "A Better Advent" but for those people who don't want the added enemies.

>>146256930
You may want to mess with the timers with aba enabled

>>146257542
OK wasn't sure if it was included

>>146256930
it's pretty easy to learn, Anon. It's pretty simple.

Do you guys find laboratories and workshops useful in XCOM 2? They cost a ton of supplies and time to build.

>>146259743

There used to be a time monoeye poster wasn't hated this much. At the very least, not multiple people telling the dude to kill themselves.

What has happened to my /xgc/?

>>146262042
There is only so much whining a thread can take, especially when whiner can move his fat lazy ass and do shit he wants instead of being a crying bitch every time.
If people could pull accesory packs to XCOM 2 in about 2 weeks after release, he had enough fucking time to make his fucking cyclops eye mod, but he'd rather whine about nobody making it for him in the thread.

>>146262042

What are you talking about? When he started posting that everyone told him to fuck off, it was only after that that people just gave up.

>>146262042
They are the paste that keeps the general going!

>>146262606
Re-writing history isn't really all that cool mate. Some people told him to fuck off, most people didn't care. Some people actually engaged him, and talked with him about it.

>>146262713

Wow, it's almost like nothing has changed.

>>146262754
Four replies telling him to fuck off is most certainly a change.

>>146262890

No it isn't, there's always at least one person telling you to fuck off.

And even if that wasn't true, it's been 5 fucking months.

>>146263317
Its not a forced meme though. Its just one guy posting one picture every thread.
