A huge part of why I still play this game are various characters I've made for the pool. Some of which are based off of characters from other games and others from previous campaigns (both EW/LW and 2).

Still missing a level and it's at 75, 85 with metal over flesh.

Yes, but that doesn't mean -30 aim.
>15% defense
Most of vanilla have 10 or none, barring archons and keepers.
>33% chance
Is that a 33 against each enemy, against one, or the pod as a whole? If it's calculated for each enemy, it's still a free attack on most pods, statistically.
Also, the alt skill only works if you get hit.
Sure, SPARKS are meaty and all, but trying not to get hit at all still applies.

did you miss the fucking DLC options on the title screen after you hit the difficulty?

>>152045063
If you didn't want it then why did you do the mission specifically for getting the sparks you stupid piece of shit.

>>152045287
DUDE perhaps you should have KNOWN that the GAME CAME with TWO dlcs and that DLCS are usually HARDER than vanilla content!
You should also stop writing like that.
You should also realize that everyone here plays heavily modded commander or legend, your difficulty is babby, for /xcg/, everyone will just laugh at you either due to that, or due to stupid mistakes you did.
On a non-dick note, try reading about the games you buy. About what is acceptable and what is not, for example.
Like using a four man squad with three rookies.

>>152045723

>>152045837

As in alien pack, ABA, bigger pods. Not exactly the same as vanilla commander.

What are the chances that the armor/weapon models from that FtP Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex game could be ripped and rigged for XCOM 2? Alot of those armors have that sleek, sexy futuristic vibe to em, while still being pretty tactical in design. And the weapon models aint half bad either. I think they'd be perfect for XCOM operators

I just saw Julian shoot twice from what seemed to be a single activation. So, probably each enemy. Still gotta test it a bit more.
Odds of Hunter Protocol actually hitting something aren't all that fantastic, but it's FREE damage, if you're lucky. I say it's pretty decent.

>FREE damage
Indeed. Main problem is the low chance of actually proccing.
I guess it might be somewhat more useful against the first pod if it counts as a concealed overwatch, since you can eliminate the penalty and get some range bonus.
Perhaps running him into an inactive pod and hope they also scatter in an easier position to flank?
Also kinda wanted to test that strat with a ccs LW assault with a meme in case of additional pods activating.

Muton melee has a chance to stun, it just translates as shutdown when it procs on mechanical units.

In my first game I did the blacksite on ballistics and did the skulljack in it too so had to fight the surprise codex. Early blacksite is perfectly doable.

this applies too every xcom game, even lw
late game is extremely tedious and boring

>>152061458
I never had that issue with Long War, at least. That somehow managed to keep my interest all the way through.

>>152061118
I mean, I could've sworn there was a mechanic for missing soldiers. It's just a little confusing.

>>152061458
ESPECIALLY with LW, since some shit takes literal thousands of weapon fragments.

>>152055546
there is no meld on abductions missions for the doorn map

>>152061552
you dont get sick of the grinding that happens in late game lw? make it to feb/march 2017 and getting ~20 missions a month, shit is tedious as fuck, and you have to go because you are starved for alloys

>>152061592
XCOM and x-com games all have the same pacing issues to varying degrees. Fact is, if you play the game right you should be stomping the ayys faces in and barring any major mistakes, victory is a forgone conclusion.

Long War is a bit different since ayys scale, but instead your whacked with the resource and psi grind when you know you could probably just take on the final mission as you are.

>>152061559
If she was still bleeding out, then yes she should have shown up later for a VIP escort mission. I've heard of this bug before, not sure why it happens.

>>152061812
Well that's nice to know. No penalty for dicking around for 50 turns then. Still had to solve my problems with rockets, but I'll take it.

>>152041508
It hits surprisingly often for me. 33% means at least 1 free overwatch shot on each pack, usually.

>>152054620
I haven't used it this campaign. don't think i've melee'd at all actually, outside of the snake pit mission and a couple buttstrokes for fun.
First time with the LW ayys and nothing is worth potentially revealing a pod of najas, not even the glorious experience of chopping that last poor ayy in half.
I wish there was a sort of hybrid between the shinobi/rogue and assault, a soldier that could move more freely and serve as a scout without being totally useless in combat.

>>152062221
>I wish there was
Try spec op.
It's kinda broken if you use the knives, though. Brigadiers are even more silly, re-entering concealment if they don't get seen for a turn.

>>152062221
Covert ops gear and spec ops knife are good. the first gives a silencer attachment that lets your scout pick off a few wounded enemies and stay in concealment. They take a hit in damage and aim though, so less useful once conceal breaks. The knife is more situational, but good for picking off enemies hanging in the back.

Impossible, can't use DLC assets and even if you could it wouldn't work out. You'd have to make the animation yourself.

>and why hasnt anyone made a punch class for humans?

There's a grand total of 1 animator in this community and all he did was make sassy sneks and then disappeared from the face of the earth.

I'm pretty sure it's time, so if you try to drag things out you'll start getting sectopods eventually. The only ones you can stop from showing up by dragging things out are codices and avatars.

I think.

Why would you say that?

>>152082981
English clearly isn't the first language of whoever made the mod if you read some of the tooltips. Some of them don't make a lot of sense.
>>152082956
I dunno, I've tried using it before on a playthrough months ago and the Officer has to be nearly right on top of the kill radius to set it off. That and it takes a turn to actually come down and can't be used from concealment, so ayys usually end up moving out of the way of it during their turn anyway

>>152082359
It almost killed my heart though.

>>152088601
Don't do it. You're placed into rooms with infinitely spawning MECs and turrets with armor until you move to the next area and you have to fight a Sectopod at the climax of the mission to actually escape. Wait for Magnetic weps.

Once you have them, mission is a goldmine for abuse and getting free kills for your squad because you can set up overwatch cheese and the spawn points once you know where they are and grind. See >>152050285

I don't know about you, but to me one of the most fun things in Xcom is seeing the ayys, so i didn't know anything about the ayys in xcom2 until i played it.

Generals are probably the one place you should stay away from if you don't want to be spoiled.

>>152090416

Well, that IS true. I only came here after i finished the game.

>>152090416
There's a difference between questions like "should I do thing" and "please spoil literally every part of thing for me", anon.

>>152090954
And there's a difference between doing a run of a game you've never played before completely blind on your own and going to a general about a game you're playing through for the first time where spoilers are everywhere and asking about specific missions.

Pro-tip: only one of those scenarios involves common sense. I'm not here to wipe anyone's ass. He asked a question and I answered

>>152091430
Plenty of people have answered that question without spoilers. It goes like this:
>Wait for Magnetic weps.
It isn't that hard, in fact you did it after spoiling the mission. Just own up to it, none of this "its his fault for wanting to talk to people about xcom" bs.

>>152091814
What the fuck are you talking about 'owning up' to it? I don't deny there were any spoilers in my answer, I just don't give a fuck if I spoiled it for him or anyone else browsing this thread because anyone who browses a general their first playthrough of a game, expects not to get spoiled and then starts getting this fucking uppity about it is an idiot.
