Anyone know why the Alien Hunters weapons can't be edited in the config?

Yeah, that was an oversight mb

Only Codex is pure and innocent

Also nth for pure and innocent codex.

excellent OP

>t. Ampelle

Will canonically fuck up the sniper king and reclaim my waifu, not to worry user
Come on coydex, if you jumped on that snek king double dick i wouldn't need to kill him now. It YOUR fault

>holographic could look any way they wanted it to
>chose to give it tits and ass

Codex canonically sexually please advent soldiers, they're all literal sluts.

Coydex would never do that, she's pure and innocent and not into lewd things at all!!! Just remember to film it on camera for later.

Do smoke bombs increase the radius or is there no upgrade?

alright last one, i did the 3 rulers

Can you imagine if aliens are actually a bunch of earthboos and won't exterminate us just so we can keep making anime and music videos?

Doctor Vahlen?

>those dark bags under the eyes

You don't have time for the perfect amount of sleep when an alien invasion is on user

n-no thats completely real!!!!

I'm running out of coydex reaction pics too

How many new outfits are there in the new DLC? I've only got the snek and berserker ones.
Same with weapons, just the 4 ones you get at start?

Post The speaker memes

There's still the Archon suit which is pretty cool. I think its just the 4 weapons you get right away.

They have no waifus

The rulers and their gear look like toys

Savages

Has anyone started a new campaign or very early game one to try the Rulers? Are they really as hard as people are making them out to be? I fought them on my very late game Vet campaign, stayed prepared every mission and not a single one managed to survive their respective first encounters; So I feel like I don't have a good grasp of how difficult they actually are.

>taxidermised advent heads
The brutality

Late Game xcom is extremely strong, I've seen plenty of people struggling in early fights, especially since they can show up on timed missions like VIP extract.

CONFIRMED

barely even human

This is your daily reminder to queue up for multiplayer, commanders. The chrysallids are lonely.

Snake king murdered my sniper, escaped
I meet him again on a Beacon mission, he actually start to hit the fucking beacon with the speargun, forcing me to dash into him
Result is he kill my grenadier and die shortly after from a axe crit in the face

Honestly, decently challenging, I like it

Is it possible to turn off the Alien Hunter gameplay stuff and just use the costume pieces? This doesn't seem like the Slingshot stuff where you can choose not to activate it at the start of the campaign

I don't think you can right now, unless you mean the advent helmets they added, then I'm not sure.

Just don't do the vahlen mission and the rulers will never appear

Ignore the crashed skyranger and you'll never get the unique weapons

you can turn off the 'story' elements of the DLC. So I guess that's all the missions and actual bosses.

>trying to capture a sectoid commander
Stop fucking running away you little shits, I need to torture you

I've heard other people have had the rulers show up in lategame saves without doing the mission though, was I misinformed?

SKREEEEEEEE

Yeah, late game they'll come in if you load a save with the dlc enabled

Starting a new campaign though you have the option to disable it, elsewise just ignore the missions, though you really won't have much of an isdue against the rulers with plasma and a squad of majors

SECTOIDS OUT

I've been in a coma since launch. What came out of that spooky portal at the bottom of the sea?

We don't know

That's either expansion material, or XCOM3 material.

Has any moder made exalt gear other than the bandanna?

Back into the coma I guess.

Terror from the deep

>raise number of enemies in pods, number of pods as well
>up the scale of maps, litter more civvies into city zones, spread full cover a bit more generously to things that aren't the sides of buildings
>up number of soldiers to 12 at both GTS upgrades
>split Specialist to two new classes: Medic and Engineer
>Medic has two paths between spreading support skills and grenades or the other being bonuses to survival and healing to stop instadeaths
>Engineer has bonuses to using his GREMLIN directly on enemies versus using it to support
>slightly rework the alien damage output by either nerfing it directly or buffing XCOM's soldiers, something to make trading blows with the aliens slightly less instakill as soon as their turn begins, exceptions being made for lategame enemies
>remove or increase timers(possibly add some way to delay it a bit longer) to compensate for slower pace, keep them on council missions like EU's methods of doing things

Thoughts?

I like.

>up number of soldiers to 12
Increasing soldiers just makes the game really as player abilities scale incredibly well

There's one, and the first thing he did upon existing is go out and start fucking ALL you're snek waifus you even have to fight your way through his horde of children and some of his bitches just to first encounter him.

Get fucked sectonerds quite literally while Vahlen is doing her thing

>although we've yet to establish a motive behind this activity
>BOMB DISPOSAL

It's a mutant made in a lab. Made from actual sneks.

Which is why it's blue and spits ice. Think like X-23 from X-men being a female wolverine, but in reverse.

I'm a huge xcom fanboy, but I can't get over how shit this armour looks. Feels like I'm fielding some second rate cosplayers on each mission or something, really breaks the immersion of the game desu

Remove the headpiece and desaturate it and it could work.

>he doesn't play on legend

It looks much better once you remove the helm and fuck around with the colors/patterns.

didn't realise you could do that

I also don't play on ironman, triggered my friend?

>triggered my friend
>>>/reddit/

pls send ufo power sources

Easily the worst part of the suit in my opinion. The rest can look cool depending on what you're going for, I'm really fond of the left shoulder sash and the suit in a black and red with Tundra, but the helm is just too silly for me.

Is there anyone on youtube or something who's uploaded a playthrough of the new dlc story mission?

I know christopher odd has the dlc misssion up.

What determines if a piece of equipment from a dead soldier is lost? It's only lost if the mission requires me to evacuate and I don't bring their body right? Missions like retaliation are fine?

Yup

You can override armor cosmetics with the uniform manager.

thanks senpai

this is a work of art

I just edited one of Anthonius's great posts

...

He's a pinnacle of humanity and Greek nationalism, while simultaneously liking Turkey for some reason

you by any chance got any of the guy from taleworlds who's obsessed with vikings

i know that's /mbg/'s deal but there's an overlap

>Greek nationalism, while simultaneously liking Turkey for some reason
What a strange person

No, sorry

bagels when

So this is the way the King ends: Not with a bang, but a *ZZZZZZZZT*

>Viper King died like a bitch
Yes! YES!

Thats a very low resolution
