My cosmetic mods are working fine (the pool stutters when I select them, but otherwise no problem). I'm more worried that some freshly broken gameplay mod is going to render the game unplayable some hours into a campaign.

Don't get me wrong, my current hardware needs an upgrade, but the fact that i could run the game with textures on high and some others while having 40-ish FPS was good enough, BEFORE those DLC's
Now the main menu is around sub 20, didn't even bother playing

Seriously though, this happens to EVERY game that is modded in one way or another, it doesn't matter how many times some developer says that they're gonna support modding. Updates are gonna break them either way, I just think you're perceiving the way they're supporting modding wrong.

Some of us started the game, then closed it, then reopened it again and found everything completely fine.

Can someone explain to me why so many people have been shitting on xcom 2 in here?
Is it just because they prefer the older ones and are assblasted that people are talking about the game they don't like in the general?
Also, I'm about to start TFTD on open xcom and after that try to play apoc. Anyone have some fanpatches or anything for apoc that makes it more approachable? Openxcom has spoiled me.

Really? I think the weapons in XCOM 2 fit really well with the soldiers. The tier 2 mag weapons can be pretty bulky looking, but I think that's by design. They are supposed to be clunky, barely functioning, scrapped together weapons with exposed wiring and no finish. Then for some reason the tier 3 weapons look like beautifully machined full production weapons suitable for a showroom.
Also the captcha is fucking up and it's really annoying.

Why do some arm configurations have shoulder armor on only one side? What use does that serve? Wouldn't you either have shoulder armor or not have it, no half/half?
>>
>>147102632
The kevlar tier of armor is whatever XCOM could scrounge from junk and old war relics, so it's supposed to be more ragtag.
>>
>>147102632
I have no idea. There's a mod for that though.
>>
The character pool freezing seems to be caused by the longer names mod oddly enough. At least that's what it is for me.
If you don't have that installed then I'm sorry I can't help you.
Also the random buttons for customization don't seem to be working either, I'd disable those as they might have an impact on the freezing
>>
>>147102632
I've always found shoulder pads silly looking on modern and sci-fi armor. Are they expecting to football tackle their plasma-slinging enemies?
>>
>>147103009
What about a door?
>>
>>147103096
You don't usually want to tackle doors open in a combat situation, because if it folds easily enough, you follow through into an unknown situation on the other side.
>>
>>147103298
I can think of alot of situations where you'd want to tackle a door. Like if you were being chased by a plasma-sling enemy for example.
Besides, why wouldn't you football tackle a sectoid? And you still need to fight people.
>>
>>147103009
>>147103096
>>147103298
Maybe not a door, but it'd certainly help with the impact of slamming into a wall or a pile of rubble at high speed. When you're moving from cover to cover under fire you really don't have time to mince about.
>>
>>147103439
>>147103829
Yes, I suppose that's true. You'd be hard-pressed to find an actual soldier wearing shoulder pads, though.

>>147106068
I'm sure it's deliberate, probably some piracy panic thing.
You know how sometimes people will upload Bethesda's dlc to the nexus because they're just plug and play? Well Firaxis doesn't want that, because unlike Todd they aren't swimming in cash and they still need to give a fuck.
>>
>>147106267
I wonder if it might be possible to let us create mods with DLC assets as long as those mods are automatically flagged as DLC dependent.
>>

I'm pretty sure that system is already in place, where you can flag a mod as requiring X dlc. Still can't use the assets.

Flip a coin, but your should probably be all right. Just make to launch, and then relaunch your game. It probably changed all your settings and un-selected your mods.

You need radar coverage to see UFOs. You can try patrolling around with aircraft, which have a short ranged radar, or you can build a base with a radar station there. Getting radar coverage expanded should be a priority, especially to Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
Some months you'll just not see many UFOS, since the aliens launch missions in random countries.

>>147126760
I'm convinced most people don't. I'm willing to bet only a portion of the 1.2% of the people who have the Immortal Commander achievement have done so legitimately. Most people likely use mods to 'lighten it up', or 'fix' things.
I'm not saying it's impossible of course, that nobody has done it, or can do it. I'd go as far to say maybe half of that did so legitimately.
>>
>>147127034
This definitely doesn't feel easier than EW. At least you could just turtle hard as shit. The turn timers force you into shit positions and you can't afford to lose any advantages to them on Legend. Like fuck man. It's sucking all of my enjoyment in this game

It's to provide protection from the front when holding a Rifle. The shoulder that has the pad would be facing forward when you're holding a rifle, while your other shoulder is tucked back and relatively safe. It's a compromise between safety and weight.

You can't hit someone else on a miss, only objects (which could then explode and kill someone). Targetting likes to reset a lot, especially when moving. Since VIPs are almost always the highest chance to hit shot, if it resets and you fire, you'll end up killing the VIP.

Anyone not able to complete shen's gift mission.
If I load a save mid way through this level for instance to go back a move or because I fail it, my troops won't move at all and dead robot bodies fly all over the fucking place.
Can someone tell me how to fix this. This mission is already a marathon and I've got to the sectopod at the end but when I load the save my troops don't move or do anything.
Left it for an hour. Came back and still they hadn't moved.

Shotgun rangers matey. They wipe the floor with aliens after they get shard guns and dont stop performing. I think after earlygame I took 3 rangers on every single mission. In fact my groups consisted of 2 psionics, 1 gunner grenadier and 3 shotgun rangers.
That's another point. Rush psionics. Its broken. After getting 1st mag weapons I go psionics before getting anything else. Shard gun is enough to deal with every enemy, no need to waste resources and time on getting the sniper/lmg.
>>147127034
The only difficult part of Legend/Ironman is the very earlygame, and I admit it took a couple of times but after that its smooth sailing just like in EW.
Cant comment how it is at the moment though, havent played with Alien Hunters/MECs. Could be more difficult or easier for all I know.

As >>147145038 put it pretty well.
Alternatively if you're in a hurry:
>shred+holotarget and then rapid fire with talon rounds
woow so hard.
Gunslingers are complete garbage damage wise which is ironically their only trick. The only time you see one outdamaging a ranger is when you trigger like 3 pods at once and blow them all out of cover for your worthless pistol to ping them all for like 5 damage.
>>
>>147144921
>How do you take down a sectopod or gatekeeper without a bluescreen rounds gunslinger
Grenadier with acid bomb and rupture, followed by a Ranger rapid-firing a shotgun at point blank range. Talon rounds and a laser sight means almost guaranteed crits.
>>
>>147144921
>>147145567
Also by replacing a bluescreen Gunslinger with a Ranger, you are now getting damage bonuses that apply universally rather than typed damage.
Same with psi-ops desu, they're the swiss army knives of X2, with so many tools for different situations that it almost feels crazy not to bring at least one outside of a challenge run.

Well fair enough, I suppose if you like the sleek Tron aesthetic that the vanilla powered armor has as well, its fine.
I'm personally a fan of the more rugged and tougher look that EW MECs had, those tier 3 paladins were absolutely gorgeous.
Worst offender is the head options though. Something is wrong when that gremlin head is the most bearable of them all.

You bring at least one ranger with phantom to scout ahead. If you see him, everyone else moves into position and sets up overwatch, then you have the ranger shoot to get his attention. Since Rulers don't act in the enemy turn, you get a whole turn of overwatch to chip him down, then can start laying into him normally. Done right you can hammer him with enough damage that he'll bail through his rift without getting off more than one or two attacks.
If you stumble on him unprepared, though, he's an absolute nightmare. You just have to suck up the guaranteed damage from devastate and hope for the best.

well, the balancing and design of the weapons were questionable.
The weapons and suits you get are pretty powerful (some are straight upgrades) but they are one-offs.
>>147164629
They repair just like soldiers heal, costs nothing, there is a slot in the engineering bay that you put them into and it repairs them.
Except unlike Soldiers, You can take them onto missions before they are fully repaired so they'll start damaged.

I don't think so.
Kinect Strike is now an ability and the BIT holds all the heavy weapons.
On the prep screen there was an empty inventory space but when I go to put something in there the loadout screen doesn't show the slot so it might have been just a mod error.
>>147165517
Well Sparks use heavy weapons so you need the proving grounds for those. Plus I believe that is also where you build more of them

Probably because you have to pay for each tier of upgrades along side your other costs if I had to guess.

The biggest issue: 4-turn cooldown
Some other things:
- It's also not a guaranteed hit, but to be fair it seems to always be >90%)
- There's basically no environmental destruction from flying corpses (no more punching meatbags into cars to have them explode)
- Can't punch cover/walls into oblivion anymore (somewhat mitigated by the wrecking ball ability, but no reason you couldn't have both)
Basically it's a pretty hard nerf from EW KSM. I can accept the small possibility of missing with it, but the other things are really lame and there will be hopefully be a mod to fix it.

My friend who's sitting right next to me playing this game too just got a terror mission with mercenaries that have 40 armor all over and health of 110, or their melee units which have armor of 100 and similar health. His best weapon at this point is the slugthrower at 70 damage but he only has two. No lasers have been dropping for him. It's January 2602. Any advice on how to deal with them? I haven't gotten them in my game, but I'm in the same month and getting nervous.

>Mercenaries
If you don't have laser weapons or a good supply of ballistics that deal 70+ (preferably Gauss weapons) damage then it is definitely time to skip town.
The low tiers of mercenaries have 30 armor, but also 60% piercing resistance (applies to ballistic weapons). Plasma is also good.
Cutting weapons with high damage do a good job. Explosives are 80% effective, so still inferior to lasers or cutting.
Simply a case of having the right tools for the job. If your relying on piercing damage then your just screwed.
There are some high tier axes that have very good cutting damage. Laser Tommies can hurt them and other standard laser rifles. You can get superconductive plasma cannonballs for your Assault Cannon, those are pretty good and you can make them youself. The Reaper rifle on a crew with really high aim can hurt them. Slug Throwers can hurt them, but you have to get close and its going to take multiple shots to maybe kill them. Chemical weapons deal full damage if you have any.
As for the melee unit (Shock Troopers) they have 100 front armor, but their back armor is only 60, so that's you best bet. Kinda rambling here but hope that helps. Like I said in the beginning, nothing wrong with just bugging out.

Ah, no wonder he wasn't having any luck with these guys short of using explosives.
>You can get superconductive plasma cannonballs for your Assault Cannon, those are pretty good and you can make them youself.

>Like I said in the beginning, nothing wrong with just bugging out.
Yeah, that's what he ended up doing. I think he grabbed one or two captives he stunned with explosives and gtfo.
Thanks for the advice on weapons, we appreciate it.
Wonder why this game has been more merciful toward me with the enemy distribution (we're playing on the same difficulty).
Another random question, is there a way to turn off/customize pausing on the battlescape every time a soldier sees an enemy (especially if it's an enemy that soldier or another soldier has seen before)? I thought there was in openxcom vanilla but it's been a long time since I've played it.
If not, that is a mod that is just crying out to happen.
>>
Ya know, it's all well and good getting a powerful MEC, but it would help if the DLC added something that would require such a powerful unit rather than just add to the power creep.
I would like to see roaming groups of feral MECs occasionally on maps or something.

They are, just watch out though. They explode and the description doesn't tell you that. The first live weapon test didn't go so well for the operator.
Oh yeah, and build some of these if you can. I'm pretty sure you get them by researching Raider stuff.
They really tear it up, you know what I mean?
As for the pausing, I don't know anything about that , though personally I wouldn't turn it off.
>>
>>147175316
>>147175516
If you activate the DLC in the middle of an existing game, then the story content doesn't appear, which means the rulers won't pop up. You'll get get the special weapons and the Proving Ground products to build the armour.

So is there any way to have recruits start at above squaddie level? Seems like you're going to be fucked over a lot more than in Xcom EU if you get a squad wiped out.

It's like a fucking long war landed large, everything is more or less manageable until you hit the commander pod. It's criminal how that mission pops up so early and how it leads you to believe everything will be manageable.

>>147180989
The main issue with the last fight is that he has a ton of armour.
and since you need to kill him to beat the mission, it's basically a damage race.
The sectopod itself isn't that dangerous.
I just suppressed it each turn and it rarely hit anything.
The danger is the MEC spam but Shen can one shot them with her abilities and if you hack the sectopod you can take control of ALL MECs on a ~75% chance.

>>147181180

How'd you get 75% for the control? I had 75% for the disable, and the control was a slightly shitter coinflip

Hmm, why both the outpost, the barracks, the hyperwave, and the workshop? Does an outpost do something different in your version or is it just the remnant of the initial base buildout?

>>147181389
The outpost hold 10 hands, and has storage space (and small radar). I honestly just don't have anything better to put there, its remnant of when I wanted to get the base up quick.
I have the barracks and workshops so that they can make counterfeit money and alcohol on the side for some extra funds. I haven't really looked to closely at it in a while, so it might be time to do some math again to see if the runts pay for themselves. Usually I just run their costs against there salary, but I'm forgetting I have to pay maintenance on the building as well.
>>

>>
>>147181913

If they are making counterfeit money they get close to covering maintenance fees for my two spy zeppelins as well.

Abuse Shen to no ends
She's basically the only reason you can actually beat that mission if you choose to attempt it the moment you get it in the campaign(aka: super early). She can 1 hit KO the minimecs, and as for the boss, you can haywire him to disable him or even take control of everything else around him. That should give you the advantage that's needed. Oh and, keep Shen out of LOS of the boss. For whatever reason, the boss for me had a hardon for Shen and would target her all the time, even if SPARK was in his face

I was missing the charm of magnificent design in XCOM 2, to the point of where I was considering going back and experiencing Long Dong again.
Shit, it's not that I really miss the magnificent design. I miss actual engagements. Long dong had me carrying smokes, flashbangs, pretty much all sorts of defensive items, because engagements wouldn't last either one turn or two turns where the enemy was literally frozen or doing jack shit during their move.

That one helps to make sure the ayys actually hang back and riddle you with shots (even ones that only have slight chances of hitting). I then ladled more and larger pods on top of that, and significanlty increased the defensive value of both half and full cover.
Engagements last across several turns, especially after I run out of grenades.

You know, the XCOM 2 UFOpedia has never really been properly updated, certainly to to the leves XCOM1, x-com, or Long War were.
I wonder if some anons could help them out, I thought I read somewhere that the person who maintains those also has been working on an x-com overhaul mod for awhile.
There is definitely not comprehensive X2 wiki like there is for the other xcom games.

There's a lot of potential variety that could be added to MECs, especially since the entire head can be altered. The only addition that I want right now is to put the punching back to EW tier, of where shit just goes flying and destroys everything in the environment in the meantime

It's a 'shame' (not really, Point Phoenix looks fucking amazing) that Point Phoenix came up with the perfect plot solution to have terror from the deep but not -in- the deep, and it would be wonky and unlikely Firaxis would just copy that wholesale. Then again it's already hinted at in Xcom2's ending - just instead of PP's "permafrost/ice melting unleashes ayy virus that the-things everything organic in sight and relies on a shroud of mist like king's book about monster mist" it's some spooky psi energy radiating out from the ocean floor.
>>147150246
With bad robots unaffiliated with Advent already depicted in this DLC I kind of like the idea of them going down the "evil AI" sci fi schtick route for Xcom2. If the Expansion is an addition to the base game (Like Civ's expansions or EW) and not a whole blown 'sequel' then I don't see it being TFTD. The spooky spoopy Psi energy comes out of the ocean floor at the end of the game, not before. You can have a hostile faction to advent and Xcom of robos - MECs, Sparks, Sectopods, Gremlin types, some kind of humanoid synthetic for gruntwork, the tentacle guys from XcomEW, maybe some mother fuckin C Y B E R D I S C S. Would need means to mitigate the OPness of emp or specialists against them though. But every single one of them having hardened vs critical hits would be a good counterweight. Suddenly your shotgun rangers aren't as appealing.

Resources mainly
If you're playing Long Dong the amount you'll get will be nerfed, but resources are still resources. The real meat, Fusion Cores, you'll still be getting. Not enabling slingshot will force you to wait until you can shoot down battleships(if Long War, good fucking luck with that)

My friend tells me nothing happens, except your x-grog production stops because you need money to continue producing. So that sounds like a death spiral unless you have some stuff in stores to sell off.
I'm banking everything on trying to get the still and the second workshop up and producing x-grog before the next month end (it's 4 Feb right now).
I also have 60 runts producing fine-ass toilet wine back at my home base, so that's a plus.

Definitely sounds like a death spiral. I do appreciate that the game doesn't just though. In a tight situation you could feasibly run some big ops and sell enough loot to get back on your feet.

On the plus side there's at least 2 other people with the same problem, for some reason whenever i launch the Xcom2 Editor it just gets to a point where it tries to load foliage or some crap and it just kills itself, and i already tried everything under the sun so i guess all anyone can do is wait for 2k or Firaxis to respond to tickets.

Landed UFOs were always a giant mess in Long Dong. Raiders are probably the worst offenders. In larger UFOs, you could just play lane sweeper for 50 turns until it was time to breach the commander pod. Not with Raiders, those fucks were clown cars and with UFO LOS, it was a nightmare trying to engage inside. I still get ptsd from seeing destroyers due to one mission where I managed to trigger THE ENTIRE MAP upon approaching the ufo.

It's a challenge DLC
It gives you a bit of shit to play around with at the start, after which you get introduced to them in a story mission. Some people complain about how it's really imbalanced, and if you are caught off guard without the proper equipment you might as well evac who you can. If you do have the proper equipment(provided at the start of the whole game), then they're more than manageable.

Ok, we have 1 grenade, 2 rookies and 5 advent blocking the objective.
Here's the plan, run away like a pussy, hunker down, hope they all stand around a car and blow it the fuck up.

Remind me, raider is medium sized UFO?
I do remember bullrushing on the medium ones too but at least I would have more room to set up a firing line and try to bait them into it. For the large ones you usually had a shitty starting situation with a lil full cover and half cover spread out in a U shape around a killing field.
Great to bait the enemy into that killing field. Not so much fun when you have to advance over it.

I think the dosing was because i removed the depth of field and didn't restart my game, in any case it's gone now.
We got the high ground now, although it's in a very awkward position, i think this time i'll save my grenades for when things start getting out of hand, or for the officer pod.

I didn't know what else to do, i figured given that this is XCOMBABY that my poor rookie would miss if i just fired at him, and i figured if i just hunkered down it would get out of the cars and i'd lose my chance to make sure he died, or he would continue to shoot or overwatch from over there and nothing would change.
Meanwhile my other rookie got hit so she only had 1 health left, which meant if one of the 2 advent overwatched she wouldn't be able to do anything.
But, i lucked out and he blew himself up, so my other rookie could grab the loot and hide where the other guy couldn't reach her unless he walked through fire, and since he only had 1 health left i figured he either wouldn't do it, or he would and even if he killed one of my rookies he would just kill himself.
In the end everything turned A-OK.

I guess i'll start by researching modular weapons, we have a lot of guns here, they're all 0 supplies so i assume they're not outright better than their vanilla counterparts.
I also have a heal grenade i can build for the same price of a medkit, it apparently heals 2hp per turn over 3 turns in an aoe, seems pretty good so it should probably cost more.
And i suppose i should build the GTS first.

Bruisers are god tier and fucking amazing if you treat them right.
>>
>>147229878
They're mostly sidegrades. Some give more damage or other things in exchange for less ammo or mod capacity, for example.
Heal grenades can also work on anyone in the heal radius. Even Advent. Be careful.

I think, that mission would've been doable if i had just sneaked to the vip and knocked him out. That's what i thought i should at first but like a retard i went
>That's no fun!
So i started killing ayys, and then it spiraled out of control when i triggered another pod and then another one walked in, i thought "maybe i can kill the vip and run away" but what i didn't know, is that in this mission if you kill the vip the timer extends itself and reinforcements drop in every turn. So at that point it was all over.
The campaign is probably still salvageable since i only lost 3 rookies and a squadie.
