That's really cool! I wish they would do that with more games. Halo Legends was pretty good in my opinion and this seems very well produced as well.

I remember before XCOM 2 came out and I thought I'd get a B.R.P.D. War on Frogs mod....

Re-installing x-com 2 now that I finished all the games I wanted to that came out after it. I beat it three times before I "finished" but never played any of the DLC. Is ANY of it worth getting? It seems shen's mite b cool. Is alien hutners fixed at all or will it that way forever (basing it off steam reviews).

>>156808140
America's national security has been controlled by the same cabal of defense analysts for the past six decades. They're the ones who actually decide what to do, by virtue of every apparatus (Congress, the President) thinking that they truly know what there is to do, because it's their job.

Everything is decided by their internal politics. We'd have roughly the same geopolitical sphere if McCain had won the presidency, because he'd have listened to their advice, and I'm entirely certain that whatever classified information they had, curated by whatever biases they had, have convinced them that every step of the way, they made the right decision. The personality type that goes into strategic defense is a type that has a masturbatory love of fast cars and also will never admit... no, not bring up the possibility that they could have been wrong. They made America safe... after all, nothing bad has obviously happened to America because of their choices, right? As the world as it is today was crafted by their policies, they're the only relevant people. Let the media crow, after all, they've never actually changed anything more relevant than their shoes; they don't know what the analysts know, and they don't need to know either.

Does Vanilla XCOM 2 on PC have modifiers for 2nd playthrough, like Damage Roulette, the way XCOM Enemy Unknown / Within did?

>>156883835
There's not much to say. You should be focused on getting engineers, because engineers let you build more uplinks and launch more stas. You aggressively build and launch satellites and sell your loot if you have to to cover costs.

But I feel like you may already know this, not sure how helpful this advice is. Also you can save the base assault for when you need to save more countries. It reduces panic worldwide.
Exalt can also help with panic if you get lucky and they have covert ops in the right countries.

>>156885109
Is it really worth selling loot? I tended to horde mostly everything because council requests. If it's better to just sell stuff to be able to afford satellites or workshops, I'll start selling things.

Also is the DLC even worth it? It seems like I'd be better off disabling it

>>156885670
If your goal is to beat impossible, I would probably turn off the dlc. The missions are meant to be challenges and aren't worth the risk.

Definitely do not be afraid to sell loot. You can always get more later, and getting the money to get more satellites up early in the game is more important than anything else, but you can' get your cash from mission since you need to be snatching up engineers.

Aliens give me the shits.

I appreciate the help for starters. Ok first I'm having trouble figuring out what research i need to prioritize and how to keep from running out of fucking supplies.

>Black Company

who?

>>156900995

Research is fairly free-form, but the story-important ones should be marked on the list. You might want to rush magnetic weapons, which is behind Modular Weapons. Supplies come from supply raid missions, monthly drops from the resistance, and from selling corpses and stuff to the Black Market. You'll also get some from the occasional guerilla op reward or random scan location, as well as removing junk from rooms on the Avenger. Don't splurge your spending but pace yourself. The GTS and AWC facilities are worthwhile early investments, as are items like flashbangs and smoke grenades.

Your first Specialist should always be offensive, but I do personally swear by the usefulness of medics as well.

>>156901782

dude PLS

>>156900995
What difficulty are you on, that changes a lot of my answers.

>research
Basically, early on, you need to prioritize getting to Magnetic Weapons as fast as possible, difficulty be damned. Go for Modular Weapons then Mags. Once you have that, you should unlock the Resistance Radio, as well as the Advent Officer Autopsy (opens up a lot of tech choices) and Hybrid Materials->Plated Armor for tier 2 armor. At that point, you're set for awhile, so faff around a bit and explore. If you're on PC, download this mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=630693520&searchtext=tech+tree

>specialists
Generally, i think they're shit. However, you can get away with just one specialist mostly using the combat tree and taking the revival perk. X2 is about murdering enemies quickly, not extended firefights, so aggressive "kill they ass" perks are better, in a general sense.

>>156900995
you will never get enough supplies for everything
plan ahead where you want them in case you wan to build a facility or saving up for new weapons or armor
getting low on supplies isnt a big deal as long as you get what you wanted out of them
for research i would say that modular weapons, the chip and resistance coms are very important and need to be done asap, after that there is a lot of leeway on what to get first that usually you will learn by experience until you get a 2nd or 3rd scientist to shave off a good chunk of magnetic weapons

>>156901782
I could just google it, but I would like to hear /xcg/ tell me.

>>156900995
>research
Magnetic weapons. Mags are always a priority, barring perhaps on veteran-.
Same goes for communications, since you want to start contacting regions leading you to facilities.
Tier 2 armor does bring advantages, but getting mags first is a must.
If you're swimming in intel and the closest facility is at only a couple of jumps from you, buy rushes from the black market for weapons/mags.
Generally, avoid autopsies since they become instant if you have enough corpses.
Faceless are obviously exempt since beacons are still life savers.
Might want to wait until the second retaliation, since usually you won't have enough corpses.

>supplies
You get quite a bit of them simply by clearing out the Avenger. Sell things you don't need. Relays also increase revenue but they cost more the more you have, so don't go overboard.

>specialist
I'm personally more for offensive specialists. You'll usually want to avoid getting hit altogether, and the 2 hp unavoidable damage from the gremlin can save your ass.
Remember that if you don't move the specialist, you can use aid protocol amd zap an enemy in the same turn.

>>156901960
Whatever the normal difficulty is called in this game and i'm on PS4 since i'm a poorfag if that helps.

>>156902039
Fine.

It's a rather dark fantasy book series written by Glen Cook. It's about a mercenary company that I think you can guess the name of, who early on get hired by some crazy cunt called Soulcatcher to deal with a massive rebellion in a big empire up north. Hilarity ensues and things kinda escalates from there.

Really good series, well worth reading. Black metal album based on it when?

Flashbangs completely nullify all biological abilities, always take at least one, preferably not on your scout.
Sectoids, snek, stunlancers sprint-stab, if it can get banged, it's ability gets fucked.

Prioritise modular > mag weapons, ignore all other research until you get mag weapons, gauss can wait a little bit depending on your preference, that unlocks the cannon / sniper / shotgun variants and those classes dont have to rely on straight damage as much due to utility.

If you're lucky with the black market you can have them before the first retaliation mission, but chances are you'll have three days on its research when the mission hits.

Get a Gorilla planning college up as soon as you can, followed by squad size.

In case you got bitched at by vahlen in Xcom1 too much, USE YOUR FUCKING GRENADES, a dead ayy cant shoot you, fuck its loot you'll get more chances when your guy's get more than peashooters.


Use your first ranger for it's phantom perk, that extra scouting potential is OP as fuck.

First specialist is your hacker, second is your medic, try to train them up equally but the medic shines better in mid to late game.

Sniper can go either way in it's tree depending on your play style, gunslinger's pistol benefits from equipped ammo but the pistol cant be modded without...mods.

Gunner can also go either way, although most people agree that explosives expert is the way to go.

Try to always work towards the next blacksite mission, the doom timer can get out of control if you faff about too much.

Equip at least one guy with the exalt bandanna.

Game balance, the Hunter Weapons would be overpowered if they could be reproduced, a mod to balance them and make them build able would be nice

Here's one you could make today.

But by that logic it should come with a switch or sensor to turn of the lights when you enter combat. I can't remember what it was from but there was a SciFi helmet I saw in something where the plating on the face was translucent and had internal lights but when the person entered combat the plates polarized to obscure the wearers face like those smart lens sunglasses

>>156916912
It was probably Halo ODST, thats the one that springs to mind when i think of something like that.

I dont think >>156907743 should count, it looks unfinished, or at least like the inside of an actual helmet.

Headlamps are slightly more acceptable in urban areas where there's lots of light pollution.

>>156917301
Actually I think it might have been tron legacy where I saw that. I'm sorry I've derailed this thread into a discussion about brain buckets

>>156916912

Man of Steel, the kryptonian helmets did that. They were pretty cool, they even looked like skulls when they weren't translucent.

>>156916381
We know, anon.
I assumed we were talking about in-universe reason.
Sure, the armors can't be reproduced because they use the actual corpses of the rulers, fine.
Cryo nades use alien technology more advanced than anything we've ever seen or something like that, fine.
The other two uniques are respectively an harpoon gun with a stun pack attached, and a pair of blades on sticks.
The axes have absolutely no special attribute whatsoever.
It's metal. On a piece of wood.
I can find the necessary materials if I take a hike.
They have people capable of retroengineering plasma weapons.

That was what it was. That was driving me nuts. Yeah those helmets were pretty badass but they actually seemed pretty functional

Yeah! Plus the woman they got to play Faora Ul was hot as hell.

>>156918176
Any clue if they've made a mod for these armors sans the capes

This helmet as seen in daylight. One of my personal favorites, probably because it reminds me of the Ethereal helmets.

>>156919727
Congratz nigger, they rebuilt the relay after you left.

>>156919727
You ran.
You're here to save the earth and murder everything that isn't human.
What kind of self-respecting follower of Commander are you, if you run away at the first sign of danger?
Sectopods are easy as fuck too, what the hell anon?

>>156920130
>>156920197
Nigga we're a bunch of gorilla operatives completing the main objective and getting the fuck out with no causalities is part of the job

>>156920349
No the job is killing every non-human on earth and eventually going out to cleanse the universe of all aliens

>>156920349
>gorilla operatives
No, we're terrorists and the saviors of mankind.
The job isn't done until every square inch of the AO is turned to ash and cinders.
You left hostile alien beings still breathing.
You left them with the chance to rebuild that relay and invalidate the entire operation.
You are a disgrace in the eyes of Bradford.

>>156920905
Terrorists aren't good guys

>>156920905
How the fuck is a sectopod going to build a relay

>>156921015
Your terrorist are our freedom fighters etc etc.

>>156921058
A sectopod is never alone. The only exception is the one in the foundry.

Secures the AO so loyalist engineer's can rebuild / replace it.
Regular resistance members can handle other civilians, not a fucking sectopod.

>>156921627
But if they're just going to rebuild/replace it whats stopping them from doing the same thing as soon as XCOM leaves the area

Are there any gunslinger perks worth getting on a sharpshooter?

>>156921762
The fact that they actually have to bring in people to check whether XCOM is still blowing shit up or not, then sweep the area for traps, then bring in people to rebuild the relay.
Meanwhile, whatever you left alive can simply report that XCOM just ran away on the Bradmobile and the area is safe.

>>156906345
But anon, that's the joke.
