pistols are useful

anyone got the expansion pack?
>>162717902
Which one?
>>162717964
>>162717509
Gets It.
>>162718101
it hasn't released yet
i just checked the fantasyflightgames store
>>162718765
oh, my bad, i must have thought it was out when they had only announced it
How the fuck am I supposed to get flawless 1st missions on Long War? It's like I keep getting the shittiest pod spawns or I'm too far away from any good height advantage
>>162720348
You aren't
>>162720462
but muh boi beags.
>>162720482
you will never have beagleluck
Long War is better than XCOM2. By a lot.
How would one increase how much and easily fire spreads?
I really like the destructible terrain and buildings but I want even more
>>162720348
Git gud. I don't think it's that hard to do if you do basic shit like:
- pay attention to which guy has what gear
- don't place your guys in anywhere but hard cover or out of los
- move out of alien los and overwatch -- this one always gets the sectoids
Your aim will suck so really the only advantages you can get at that point are nades, terrain, flanking and moving out of los and overwatching.
>>162681159
What's wrong with comissioning art of your furry OC?

Nice webms friend! Here's my Breivik!
>>162730075
is this an actual pistol in the game
>>162730119
thanks mr skeltal
>>162730204
Yes
>>162730075
I wonder if the real Kolibri actually could kill someone IRL... I've yet to see a video where they test shoot with one.
>>162730434
Might actually be dangerous if it hits really soft tissue like an eyeball but otherwise even clothing can noticeably protect against it
>>162730512
Yeah that's pretty much what I thought, but the gun itself is impressive nontheless!
>>162730731
Yeah, I think it was more to show off the gunsmith's skill instead of having an intended use.
Unless it was a children's toy. People seemed to give 0 fucks back in the day

>>162731326
>implying skyrim porn isn't gr8 and immersive
>>162731570
For RPGs like TES it's fine because you're actually interacting with characters.
When you're just slapping a bad nude texture on Shen, that's just fucking sad.
>>162731639
yeah i agree
Neptunia ports WHEN?
>>162732062
Never everWhy do people like Neptunia anyways
>>162732274
Mostly because of the characters.
>>162730965
I don't understand what people get out of this.

Riddle me this:
How doesGarrussurvive having his shit pushed in by an angry mob at the end of the game? It's quite clear he gets mobbed and yet he shows up to give you shit on the last mission. What the heck?
>>162740289
More than one speaker obviously. What point would there be in turning ALL the thin men back into Vipers? Keep a few thousand around for manipulating humans, going to events and being the "face" of the elders.
I hope speakers get introduced in an expansion as another Advent unit above captains, so you can personally wreck their shit.
>>162740289
Does the game show him getting actually beat by the mob? Not really. He probably just jumped right out of there.

>>XCom is more like space marines, Xenonauts could be more like Imperial guard.
Agreed. XCOM has moved more to the super-soldier side with special units like Psy (Librarians), MEC/SPARK (Dreadnoughts) and Gene mods making every operative into practically Space Marines. Adding vehicles/air strikes to this, while potentially awesome, could detract a bit too much for the core of the type of game XCOM is going for: A Unit of Elite -Operatives- fighting against the all odds.
It's Xenonauts the one who could really benefit from getting much more vehicles into the mix as it will help the series to differentiate itself from XCOM. If they really want to claim that "Global Defense" in their title they really need to go the route of Rapid-Response Elite -Army- fighting against an invading alien army.
Who is Julian Shen's voice actor? Still Garrus?
>>162740289
He is a viper, and he had Advent guards, i don't think a mob of normal people would be able to take him down.
>>162736062
never
>>162742606
I'd swear it's the guy who voices Magnus the Red in If The Emperor Had A Text-to-Speech Device. Sounds way too much like him.
>>162740289
He had his rifle hidden behind the screen
>>162732274
The characters. The pretense that the series is a parody of the game industry is long gone.
>tfw no Half-Life ports

Aren't the textures pretty low quality?
>>162748158
I love aliens
>>162748471
we are at an impasse i see
>>162748420
To my knowledge Black Mesa is still in development senpai, and looks pretty good. If you want HL2 stuff there're tons of HD versions of them on the internet. I would try to make them myself but downloading that 45 gb modding tool would take me more than a week
>>162748698
jeez where do you live
>>162748830
In a not well developed middle eastern country. On top of that, I live in like a village that's even worse than the country's urban areas
>>162749504
But where? Now I really want to know.
>>162748634
Easy solution; you get to kill aliens except for the vipers.
>>162741353
>>162743345
The cutscene ends with a first-person view from him of the mob wrestling him to the ground, and ends with somebody about to curbstomp his face.
>>162747608
>>162748698
Just making sure, you know there's ports of all the combine armor on the workshop, right?
Ninja Nub is awesome for porting some cool shit, but he abandoned xcom modding months ago to port ARMA models to the stalker mod CoC. He even had some hl1 marines, zombies, and alyx ported, but never released.
A shame, really.
>>162750151
That snek's tail looks like a crumpled up sock instead of a powerful crushing tool. I blame her diet of Advent burgers and XCOM rookies.

Ninja Nub
Awesome guy who did the initial odst ports and combine armors, but he has moved onto greener pastures with porting things to stalker.
>>162760754
He should just release what he has
>>162748634
Why don't we keep some as slaves to society after some genetic tinkering and kill the rest.
>>162760828
He's awol for a while.
>>162761057
slavery is inhumane
>>162761190
Good thing they're not human then!
>>162761265
that's not what inhumane means
>>162760754
i'm not the only one who hangs out in both /xgc/ and /kysg/?
>>162761420
We are showing compassion though, we're not killing them all, just most.
>>162761737
genocide is more compassionate than slavery
>>162761840
Pretty debatalbe
>>162761840
They's a very skewed opinion.
>>162761840
so give them a choice, serve or die

>/kysg/
Don't know what that is, so you probably are. He posts updates on his stalker model porting on the FP forums, it's where I got >>162761072
from.
>>162761958
>>162762039
not really
>>162762081
to give them that choice would be taking advantage of them in their difficult position, inhumane
to kill them would be like relieving them of having to make such a difficult decision, mercy
>>162762178
>>162762291
Is pwning a Dog slavery? That is what owning an ayy is like.
>>162762291
There's not a one sized fits all definition of slavery, or what that entails. You have to be enforcing some pretty harsh levels of slavery before it becomes more inhumane than slavery.
>>162761840
That's a non-issue if we genetically change them to enjoy serving us.
What better life for them to have than to love serving their masters?
>>162762262
kill yourself general, what stalker general has turned into
>>162762291
robbing them of the choice is more heinous than slavery because you don't even consider them worthy of choosing for themselves
>>162762354
dogs are not sapient creatures, they cannot reason, it's not slavery
>>162762405
if it deprives a sapient creature from their free will it's already a most inhumane act
at least they can say they were free until death
>>162762551
>genetically change
you'd be forcing them to undergo such things against their will
slavery
inhumane
>>162762591
it's better to never offer the chance
they can choose to fight back against certain death or die
>>162762625
while I perfectly understand you can argue a point without being on the side of those in the argument I just want to ask you something.
You do remove Ayys with extreme prejudiced right?
>>162762868
yes
if they wish to live they have to fight harder than i do
there is no hatred behind my acts
there is only therules of nature
>>162762625
>you'd be forcing them to undergo such things against their will
>slavery
>inhumane
The aliens themselves went through genetic changes to turn them into what they are, living war machines. We are changing them to be subservient.
And even that point is a non-issue if they are made to be subservient from first conception.
>>162763190
changing them against their will is not morally correct
they went through genetic changes against their will at the hands of wretched aliens
this is a war of liberation
we are liberating these aliens, the sneks, the mutons, sectoids
we are benevolent, we are not inhumane, we are the saviors of aliens
>>162763389

that's fucked up
>>162762739

>changing them against their will is not morally correct
Perhaps for the first generation, but for the second generation newborns it won't hold water. They're be born with the innate need to love being slaves.
>they went through genetic changes against their will at the hands of wretched aliens
They're all wretched aliens on our planet, to them we're wretched anyway.
>this is a war of liberation
>we are liberating these aliens, the sneks, the mutons, sectoids
We're liberating the human race, not the galaxy
>we are benevolent, we are not inhumane, we are the saviors of aliens
We are benevolent to our fellow man only. Ever since they came to our planet it's been war against them. And then it's either been our obedience or death. And even with our obedience they've taken us to be turned into solient green. We owe them nothing.

one morally incorrect action and it's over
we're no better than the alien elders we are fighting
they are not wretched, the rank and file ones, and it doesn't matter if we're wretched to them, we are humans and must be humane to our rivals
we are liberating ourselves, and we are liberating them
we are benevolent to everyone, but the benevolence changes
to ourselves, a benevolent act is to liberate ourselves from alien slavery
to the aliens, the only benevolent act we can provide is death
>>162767170

>>162768206
No the mere act of a living Alien is torture for themselves and a danger to humanity. The Ayys must be purged.
Anyway with our new gene modding technology and new tech we can just make a robot one with skin over it or something. Also sympathizers will not be treated lightly and stop injecting your shitty fetish into everything.

Letting an Alien race that has invaded twice and once won and was practically genociding the human population while keeping Humanity under a heavy boot of oppression and fear. Even thinking about letting these "creatures" live
All's fair in war and the Ayys are just reaping what they've sown.

Oh yeah?

You take your advent poison somewhere else.

If you treat them nicely.
>>162773093
>altering their mind into subservience
>not treated cruelly
Hmmm, XCOM 3 could have potential as now the remaining aliens are now without leaders and factions.
Advent being out of commission, the remaining aliens that are no longer under the influence of the Elder could now gain individuality.
I hope we could recruit aliens to fight off the invading horrors of the deep, giving them a chance to redeem their debt to humanity by either dying or succeeding.
Will they go X-com apocalypse route for this one with different factions on the play ?
>>162729490

There, is it cruel now?
>>162773478
She only faked her death to throw the cops off her trail.

If the non-elder ayys can prove their allegiance to and pay off their debt to humanity I'm fine with them. The Ethereals are nothing but trouble though.

>>162773359
I can see hybrids legitimately integrating into society and helping xcom. Troopers are basically human without being brainwashed.
Honestly not much else though. I can see mutons forming a tribal society in ruined outskirts and just generally being an annoyance and destroying shit. Things like berserkers and faceless need to be fucking exterminated.
Vipers maybe just because they're supposed to be intelligent, but them and sectoids just seem generally chaotic evil for the sake of it.
The only other thing I can see integrating would be archons. Only then because they're basically just war machines that can be repurposed, and are probably smart enough to understand the necessity of killing interdimensional cthulhu.
>>162775119
Aw fuck.

Close enough to people who post actual furries my point still stands about posting snakes with tits covered in scales, then dressing them in some lewd bikini or something.

Skill builds? Or is vanilla EW casual enougth that I should be able figure it out?
>>162777570
Honestly I think you should be able to figure it out. More importantly make sure you are rushing engineers and satellites for the strategic game. Cover the world, airgame is easy as pie, even more so considering you went through LW. There really isn't a consequence for just saturating the world with sats and a minimal air-force.

No their mindcontrolled and genetically edited. I doubt they can even feel fear
>>162779259
>>162779425
alright was just thinking they get shit on so much that they may feel something
After victory over the alien menace xcom takes over as the defacto global government and military. They use mass media to perpetuate the lie that the alien menace is still out there so they need to maintain strict control over the world. Xcom 3 involves you shutting down pockets of resistance and killing protestors.
>>162779840
collaborators are as bad as the ayy themselves
>>162779840
Nah, XCOM3 is Civil War. The war between exterminating Ayylmaos or enslave them.

I think it would've been better if ADVENT soldiers were actual humans that thought they were doing the right thing
i know the whole plot would collapse and XCOM is not really the game for debating about the moral consequences of one's actions as they progressively eliminate ADVENT with more brutal methods, and is the game for killing alien shits, but it'd been cool tbqh

How do you deal with gatecrasher ?
It's all going well until the ayy get to play their turn, and one shot all my rookies
I'm considering console cheating at this point
>>162794040
break los
use grenades
flank them
full cover only
Its kinda...lonely in here.
>>162780460
I'm thinking they'd want to enslave ayys, in order to assist in their plans for world domination.
>>162794040
High ground full cover, and break los. Break los a lot.
>>162794996
GO GET A DRINK MY MAN
I'm a filthy casual and I have only played on veteran.
Does the difficulty ramp up a lot on other difficulties? Do ayyliums think better, are there simply more of them, or do they get better %s?
I already saw like 3 people complaining about gatecrasher.

There is gonna be more ayys, it's more likely for more than one (or more) pods to engage you at the same time and they will have more hp an armor.
It's a big difference.
>>162796787
Good luck with that since the extra health means you won't be one shotting them consistently anymore. A big reason people complain about gatecrasher on higher difficulties is because grenades don't one shot consistently, so you don't get to alpha strike anymore when they flee behind cover.
>>162792074
Done with my essay. Not too bad, and it's an easy A class, so not too concerned with quality.
My favorite thing that I learned was that Odin gained knowledge of the Germanic runes/alphabet after he sacrifices himself (to himself).

i am 90% sure they do still appear but not as often
still thats an interesting point, i never realized they would require viper corpses to make more after the upgrade
>>162799764
the last 3 months or so before i conceded defeat there were no snakes at all , mabey it was a bug, i was only seeing officers/big daddys/shields/advanced robots

now that i think of it, i never saw any sectoids either, think it could of been a bug

[REINFORCEMENTS INCOMING]
>>162804326
They really should've added more animations for reinforcements, like having one of their vans roll up and the Officer kicks the door open or something.
>>162804326
oh nice my XP is here :^)
>>162796504
the HP of ayys goes up
their armor goes up
you get no miss compensation (your chance to hit increases with each missed shot, losing soldiers increase you hit, none of those are there in legend)
this means, the avarage tactic you are using now will let ayys live that would be dead otherwise, and they will shoot you
and kill you
>>162796530
this is another change i notice
if you are flanked getting out of stealth, they open fire almost every time, while previously they ran for cover (if they were exposed themselfs too)
>>162804484
that and maybe add maps with rail ways and when they call for reinforcements the lights on the rails start blinking to warn you to move out of the rails and a train pulls over with a couple pods inside the wagons
also would be nice to have random events that transform the battlefield like cars pulling over, maybe a dropship actually lands in the field
I love fire

try the alternate mod launcher, dunno if that'll work on pirtaed copies but it's the better way to run the game anyway
>>162828189
I also pirated the game and I do have the launcher, are you sure that you don't have it?
Pirates a shit, support the devs.
>>162829146
Well I do, but it doesn't show any mods even tho I put them in xcom mods folders.

>pls support the devs for this game
X2 is like a home builder that only builds the foundation and expects you to build the rest of the house yourself somehow, and also wants you to pay full price for the entire thing
>>162832762
No the actual problem is that there are holes in the house. The game is complete, but the bugs really hinder the experience.
>>162833091
Sure, if you like a house where the bed, the shitter and the kitchen are in the same room.
>>162833213
Nah, It's a complete game. It only feels small if you were expecting a long war or forgot what XCOM1 was like pre-expansion.

Wew lad, if you want us to have nice things like XCOM you have to spend your shekels sometimes.
How about a "K9" class?
Like, the unit is a human with a trained dog. They both go on the same turn. A support unit rather than damage.
The dog can hold aliens in place and run twice the amount of tiles a human can.
The main human action is telling the dog what to do, only using pistols and maybe shotguns.
>>162836015
ALIENS
>>162836015
can I strap bomb to doggo?
Do you laddos actually use EMP grenades? The fact they're only useful against robotics and don't do any damage to anything else just seems useless to me. I mean, I never came across a pod full of robotic units and they probably have one use like any other grenades, so you bring one grenade for only one enemy?
Bluescreen rounds tho, that shit is useful
>>162837115
Sure, but it should have some drawback, maybe time to train another or something like the Compy from Dino d-day that needs it to kill/help kill one o two aliens beforehand so the bomb is powerful.
>>162837428
>Sure, but it should have some drawback
How about the massive will lost making your K-9 specialist a jibbering wreck after he strapped a bomb to his best friend and had to relay the commanders orders to kill his own dog because the commander is shit at tactics.
>>162832762
Vanilla XCOM 2 has more content than vanilla EU did, cease this reckless memery.
>>162837350
I have one EMP nade that I bring when the Shadow Chamber reveals Sectopods. 4 turn shutdown is sex.
>>162775330
what mods are you guys using to control the camera inside the avenger? Any mods to specifically take better screenshots out there as well?
>>162837769
A last ditch tactic that leaves the human with a massive morale penalty, likley to even put him out of commission for the rest of the mission, I'd be fine with that.
>>162838147
look up debug camera on the workshop if you hit end and toggle your ui you can get sweet screen shots
Why do Spark guns feel so god damn weak? I understand that at least part of it comes from the added damage skill from LW skill pack, but even without that it seems like its just an oversized plasma rifle.
>>162839718
Probably because you can't mod it
>>162836015
There's a mod for them in openxcom. I use the fuckers all time as glorious scouts & shockingly useful melee troopers. A smile always crosses my face when a dog tears apart a sectoid limb from limb. I couldn't help but laugh for a solid 20 seconds the first time a fucking dog tore apart an Etheral.
ayy lmeow
Sometimes it's the little things that help flesh a soldier out. Whenever I get a British Ranger, I always name their shotgun "Sod-Off". Yes, I know the proper British term is Sawn-Off, but my British Ranger likes the American name better because it lets him/her use an obscenity.
And since some people won't get the joke, they use the obscenity spelling.

>>162840431
Mixed opinions on them. Good scouts. Can't take a fly landing on them but if they get the drop on low TU aliens they can clear a whole small ship on their own. First mission of my new game i watned to try them & flooded 5 of them into a small scout. No ayys left by the end of the turn. Loose their usefulness once your soldiers start getting better armor. But 1 is still a good spotter

I'm over a year into this piratez game and Im just now getting a new ship. This is actually really slow and tedious
>>162858286
It picks up in midgame, but yeah, the early game is an annoying grind. Midgame to lategame is probably my favorite - I remember planning all my bases, having more stuff to manage, more choices... I do like the feel of being a ragtag group of pirates in the beginning but it drags on WAY too long when you can't even shoot anything down.

So there's a retcon in Xcom 2?
I remember in EW in the final mission that the ethereal was saying how this was all a test to see if humans were ready to join them or something .
In Xcom 2 they just took over instead

Ethereals always spout bunch of bullshit. They're just sore losers and can't admit they lost to 6 fucking guys with aim and coordination of 2 yo old. Just never trust ayys and you will be good.
>>162862557
Yeah. According to the devs, XCOM 2 is what happens if you lost in the first few months.
>>162862557
More alternate timeline than retcon
>>162862557
There is no retcon, if you win in XCOM 1, you "passed" the test.
XCOM 2 is if you were a shit tactician and failed to cockblock the aliens. You "failed" the test so you're only good as genetic fodder.

How?
Currently playing vanilla XCOM 2, had an idle thought: What's the maximum amount of damage its possible to deal with one soldier in a single turn?
Lightning Hands -> Ruler reaction damages Sharpshooter -> Return Fire -> Pistol Shot -> Fan Fire, with every shot being a crit?
What about to multiple targets?
>>162865741
It's kinda cool that this game would have had top-tier graphics for an FPS only a few years ago.
>>162862557
Yeah which is kinda dumb. I don't really think the end of XCOM1 is necessarily incompatible with 2. You took out their main ship, but you still don't have much insight into the entire invasion beyond Ethereals.
What if the events of XCOM1 were what allowed the resistance to even be a thing, instead of the world just getting fucked in a few days.
But oh well. Retcons.

Is it really worth churning out Grenadiers? My first run through I basically just used Rangers and Specialists. I've been fairly underwhelmed by the Grenadiers.
>>162863336

>>162866220
Grenadiers are the shit. [Remove Cover Intensifies], acid grenades/bombs and Shredder to chew up armor, Chain Shot on high aim Grenadiers, etc. Incredibly useful class.
>>162867165
Yeah, I tried going with them mostly this time around so I'd heard.
But compared to what I could do with Assaults in my first run through...I dunno. I could spread 1-2 out to keep an eye on patrols whilst the others charged around slamming shit with 100% aim shotguns. Once Armour came into play Specialists could usually either hack it or I could use WAR Suit rockets etc.
Can someone tell me why apparently all my rangers have bullet attracting magnets in their asses? My memorial has become crowded with the portraits of rangers who's epitaphs all happen do be "hey you guys notice we don't have a lot of rangers here? That's weird huh?"
It's not even me putting them up too far or being risky and moving them to half cover or some shit. I can have a fucking medic standing next to a berserker, two half dead rookies standing flanked in half cover, and the fucker will walk past them, punch down two walls, just to passionately ram my ranger specifically. I don't fucking get it. Without fail my rangers always take all the attention regardless of positioning or health and shit.

>>162921635
It's got it's issues, but it is still a good game, just try to hold your nose to the artstyle. It is probably worth playing just to understand how ambitious it was. Open Apocalypse would be a dream come true if it ever finishes.
>>162921725
>I'll just be over here, being old.
More like you will just be over there being right. I really like both, it doesn't require nostalgia to see how amazing x-com is. Playing both games and really digging into how the mechanics work has actually made me enjoy and respect both of them more.
>>162921635
Apoc is one of the most notoriously flaky programs ever, that sufferes from being written during the transition from DOS to Windows.
At the time it didn't matter, but now it's 'legacy' it -can- be a complete pain to run.
The game itself is fairly entertaining, and the realtime combat (a big deal at the time) is pretty ace, if basic by todays standards.
Nothing spectacular, but deffo worth a look if only for the novelty value.
>>162921473
But what if she suddenly COLLABORATE with the AYYS. Bradford won't like that.

Single Target
>Ranger Flank bonus + Rapid Fire + Talon/bluescreen Rounds
The highest potential damage would probably be faceoff + dragon/venom rounds as it takes a shot on every visible target, so its potential is only limited by how many targets you can exist in LOS
>>162921635
Yes. In a way it's the anti-XCOM, also trying to fix the original's flaws, but through additional complexity and features rather than streamlining. It's worth checking out for its airgame and real-time battlescape alone. Also, 10/10 soundtrack.
Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong during its development went wrong. The fact that end result is playable from start to finish with comparatively few issues is nothing short of a miracle.
>>162929489
>>162921635
The coolest part to me is the geo-scape (or city-scape in this case).
The Apocalypse geocape is something that really sets it apart. Imagine that you are playing a simcity (the older ones) but instead of managing the entire city, you are running the police department. Now replace the police department with x-com. The city is alive. There are government forces, police forces, corporations, a cult, political and activist groups, and gangs all interacting with each other completely independently of your actions. There is a transportation system, private civilians, space transports moving in and out. You and the aliens are players in a city that doesn't actually revolve around you. I would love to see an Apoc remake that brings that city-scape back, while presenting a cohesive art-style and a cleaning up some of the rougher edges.
does being flanked count as "not being in cover" for ap grenades
>>162934279
You have to throw it behind their cover if that is what you mean. The grenade indicator will tell you if it's going to do damage or not by highlighting the enemy red.
>>162934972
ah the highlight shows whether or not it deals damage
good to know
i thought it only dealt damage if they were standing around in the open
>>162935297
Nope, the description is a bit odd, but you just need to be a bit closer to hit aliens in cover. Also note that sometime you can hit flying units by throwing the grenade to hit or bounce onto geometry in the game.

How on Earth did the Author choose situationally inappropriate dialogue for every single line. I'm Kind of impressed by that on its own.
Like, don't get me wrong its better than nothing but this isn't the Alex Jones we need right now.

Does anyone here use moddable DLC weapons mod? If so, do you know if does Armed to teeth bonus affect it?
Do you even wonder what do the buyers of your corpses from Black Market do with them? You could say that they examine them/do scientific tests on them in EW because you sold them to governments, but this is not the case in XCOM 2
>>162941509
limbs, parts, organs, and so on are disassembled and utilized by various means, akin to how a tiger's blood or fur or teeth and whatever else have many different uses

Couldn't resist eh
does anyone know if the extra chryssalids placed by the dark event will be burrowed or just part of a normal pod?
have to decide between the extra lid or faceless dark event and if these fuckers are burrowed i will prevent that
I turned off alien hunters because I had some bugs and I thought the dlcs were causing it and I had viper king appearing on my 2nd or maybe 3rd mission. What is happening? Could better advent or long war mods turn it on?
>>162944643
I think they're just a normal pod.
>>162944926
Maybe you should've read what it said when you disabled it, disabling them just disables the mission, so they just show up. It's better to leave them enabled and just not doing the mission if you don't want to fight them.

Oh, in that case dunnolol.
>>162938057
Ah, it all makes sense now.
>>162945864
nah iam not the same anon... just sayin i turned it off in steam to get rid of those fuckers but this way iam missing out on the customisation
>>162941509
I just figure the market passes them on to various resistance groups. Perhaps they can repurpose the ADVENT armor plating, milk venom out of Vipers for poisoning/medkits, etc.
>>162945170
oh fuck didnt know that, thank god I managed to overwatch ambush that fucker so he escaped without dealing any damage to my units.

They're supposedly super duper delicious. Tygan misses them from his time living in the city centres. Lily is curious about them. And after you've sent soldiers on a mission with a burger place or meat packing plant, Bradford sometimes complains about finding the wrappers everywhere.

Beagle said in the modding Discord that he won't be doing X2 streaming for a while and instead turning his XCOM attention to a LnL S2.
As he explains it, 'It's easier to get things in regards to mods troubleshooted when not playing live'
>>162957074
He did plan "streaming something XCOM" by mid-late December but it really looks like he is going to give a good look at his options before deciding what to stream again.
>>162948345
Beagle's Civ streams are insanely underrated though, fun times.

Did anyone ever pinpoint the cause of Berserker queen bugging out? I've just had her climb a crate and then take no action at all while my squad tore her a new one. I seem to recall people talking about this happening fairly often.

i tossed a flashbang at them, despite missing a 95% i managed to kill one
they scuttered away and then a thin man appeared out of nowhere, flanked someone, and missed what i can only presume to be a 95% shot, so we're even

>alien ai can do the same
>>162970035
there was a turn of nothing after both the pods got triggered as i fell back, i figured if i moved more i'd get overwatched to death
the thin man had repositioned quite significantly and flanked me from lowground, while the floater just barged straight in and was very avoidable
i'm not very good at the game, though i'm also beset on all sides by various untriggered and triggered pods so i'm at a loss when it comes to repositioning without making things even harder

>>162972209
four thin men, three floaters, four chryssalids, two seekers, one thin man, four sectoids
i don't know which sounds signify which alien so i can't guess at what's left, but i hear two different ones right now
>>162972209
>>162970783
*If yes it's a supply barge, and that only makes 10 confirmed ayy kills, the mission's FUBAR.
Supply barges have ~30 ayys.

i think i completely fucked over my squad
i triggered a pack of floaters in the worst possible area ever, and they all went overwatch
if i reposition all my guys will die, if i overwatch all my guys will die, it's over and out, command signing out
>>162970783
i find it that going balls in in such a situation is the only good chocice. whenever i try to fall back, not only do i still get shot at, but i also waste a turn, so when shit hits the fan i just acknowledge that ppl will die and make sure they take as many with them as possible. Usualy niggas survive by deflecting ayy shots with their GIGANTIC balls of steel.
>>162972727
the floaters were the last pack of aliens on the map
but i never had a chance, not really, the outsiders would have churned my squad into paste and put it on their filthy xeno pastry
>>162972910
i adopted the opposite strategy by legging it in the most retarded way possible, triggering more map vision in this one turn than in the entire expedition so far, but it wasn't enough
>>162972910
not pictured in previous post:
fucking everything
there were 54 ayyys from which at least 50 rushed at me without respit
thus ends the scrub expedition to the supply ship, a mission doomed to fail no matter what, there were six or maybe even eight outsiders, so many i didn't even count them before legging it
>>162973250
getting rekt on the first landeed is a right of passage, you at least got survivors.

XCOM 2 EXPANSION WHEN JAKE
In canon aliens sent everything they had after XCOM right? Well, EXALT was fighting aliens over Annette IIRC. So perhaps Aliens didn't use as much resources on that issue and EXALT won, they might have used her at some point. She can still be alive
>upgrade to 2nd tier armor
>aesthetics all over the place

What is the dumbest weapon upgrade setup for a Grenadier? Assuming you already have an Aim PCS + Scope aside for autocannon sniper bullshittery. Autoloader and Hair Trigger seems like the best combination to me.
>>162986704
Didn't xcom 2 imply advent killed all the psychics? Not sure if it mentioned Annette specifically but there's definitely a dark reference to operation progeny in there somewhere.

there is one mod that adds the torsos, legs and arms for bradford and shen but i cant find which one does it

>>163000656

If you mean torsos legs and arms OF Bradford and Shen, I have them too. I think More Customization Options adds them, which also adds Jane Kelly's clothes from the tutorial mission

>>163001626
You can capture drones with the arc thrower, and then drones use to ave infinite repair for mechanized units once captures (infinite repair for your mecs).
Also the drones in the Temple Ship are pretty scary.

Also I just realized this not Long War, but oh well, maybe he still wanted a drone.

>>163002825
The blackmarket bonuses are better.
They give you the resources to build shit.
Instant-production is only good if you're already overflowing with resources.
For the former you're constantly bringing in enough cash to start new the projects, and then you wait for them to complete. The latter you're waiting the same amount of time or longer just to get enough resources to insta-build them.

>>163010159
Well, the good thing about EU/EW is that the campaign objectives can actually be done more or less at your leisure, as the REAL objective is to get satellite coverage around the globe ASAP. That said, I'd suggest doing what the other guys said and
>>163010641
Either you're on a difficulty where it has 3HP or less and so softening it was unnecessary or you're using a Plasma pistol and you're just that late to the party for capturing it. Once it's 3HP the stun chance is already 70%, which is good enough for the purposes of just running up and being done with it rather than fiddling about with trying to soften the target further with pistols.
>>163005408
I've barely used reshades, but i believe you can basically download all of them and then select them through the reshade assistant thingy to try them out, so you just switch them in the tool. And then if you want you can manually modify individual effects and stuff.
