XCOM General - /xcg/

Titanfall body armor
Helmet is Capnbub's kevlar helmet
face mask and the little light and laser pointer are steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=636400624&searchtext=modular

His helmets are pretty good and you can use the laser pointer, light and in some cases the visor or UV eye-piece type things on any number of helmets. The Laser and light will fit almost every helmet, the visor/UV/Heads up displays work on some, not on others.

Should I buy the DLC for Xcom 2? Will it add more story content or will it just give me cool stuff like new classes and customization?

Should I buy it after I beat Xcom 2 or just install it whenever during the story?

I'll go list by list then

>Anarchy's Children
Purely cosmetic DLC. Usefulness debated on, but it does add a lot more stuff.

>Alien Hunters
Challenge DLC. New weapons, new story mission, as well as three new aliens whose sole goal is to make your life as miserable as possible(and they usually succeed).

>Shen's Last Gift
New story mission, as well as an entirely new robot class, with it's own unique weapons, abilities, etc.

I'd just get the reinforcement pack for all three. If you change your mind mid campaign, and buy one of the DLCs which have a story mission, you won't get the chance to run through them(but still get the content)

Was held up last night. But. Ill try to write up the new modlist tonight.

Also beep boop

I'm actually in the middle of the campaign. It was after you find the Advent from the Codex. Is it too late to add the DLC for story? I want to play the missions chronologically if I can, or at least during the whole story.

>Is it too late to add the DLC for story?
Absolutely, it is. You have to start a fresh campaign with the DLC enabled in order to get their unique missions.

You'll get a prompt for the content, but the missions won't appear iirc

>tfw one of the Rookies that helped you defend the shanty town died a turn before the end

So, I just upgraded from a 5-year old toaster laptop to a fullscale i7 gaming desktop, /xcg/. Installing X2 now, super looking forward to a new campaign with brilliant and bright visuals.

Here's the question though, /xcg/: do I start a new campaign or do I finish the one I was playing on my toaster? and does anyone want mission recaps?

That really sucks. I guess I won't be buying the DLC then.

To be honest what prompted me to look for DLC was because I was looking for cosmetics

Workshop nigga

JOSH BIRK A SHIT

I forgot they were a thing. Mind showing us your EXALT-boss?

>tfw no STAG equipment mod
>tfw no SR4 ports

KINZIE A SHIT

>great war theme'd xcom

I'd fucking buy it. Wouldn't even need to change any of the classes.

The weapons would be nice a least

>MP18
>Martini Henry
>Springfield M1903
>Lee Enfield MK III SMLE
>Winchester M1895
>Browning Automatic Rifle Madsen MG

Im thinking about how swag as shit it would be

>Using mustard gas on the ayylmaos
>Trench coats and gas masks
>Xcom asthetic perfectly with trenches on the western front, deserts in africa, eastern europe hellholes

I'm sure some modders would ride on the BF1 trend when it releases and port the stuff over into XCOM 2.

There's already a few people working on porting BF3 and BF4 guns

Also,
>that British scout cape

Melee weapons would be ubiquitous.

>Bayonets
>Sharpened shovels
>Spiked clubs
>Trench knives

bagels when

Never. Long War sucked the soul out of him.

:^(

Welcome back

I like how this entire thing sounds:

Reverse-engineering Ayy tech with magic really can go anywhere: You start out slow with your reaction times to respond to the alien threat and limited to one or two castles in your kingdom but, as you recover more Elerium/Alloys/MELD you get to the point were time and space are on your side as you can get (and aid) to the other kingdoms with more and more quicker means. And you will need to help them and eventually arm them as well because the aliens will eventually escalate the invasion and you will be hard pressed to contain it all from your kingdom alone.

Pistols are Useful.

>All these casuals using Grimy's Loot
Absolutely disconcerting

Cyclops mod.

Never change

I've been working on some concept art for it, actually. What do you think?

>Field medic to treat chemical weapon wounnds
>Stormtrooper to draw fire and nade targets
>Sapper/heavy that carries a mortar kit and can blow open walls/fortifications
>Rifleman, can be a pointman or a sniper
>Radio engineer, calls in support
>Gunner lugs around a machine gun that can be set up prone or on low cover

all the possibilities.

...

i always want mission recaps, user

seconded.

Im with this guy you better fill me in on the sweet gossip going on in your squad

...

Now this is some magnificent stuff

It brings back some memories.

...

I don't know which one is worse

...

LW is still 'worse' by a long shot.

did you died?

Both are LW though you meme.

Having 20 ayys activated in furies, where you have no cover is breddy bad

You win For now!

...

Hey friend

Don't the destroyed house has some nice cover? You can make a nice fire base from there.

Not enough for the whole squad I think.. I don't know, it's been a year, I forgot the map

The snipers don't need that much cover so there is usually more than enough to handle the first few patrols.

did they change/fix/buff guardian overwatch?
im getting more and more empty magazine overwatches

also after 300 hours of xcom2 i discovered how great is it to pop concealment with specialists

>aid protocol x2 on 2 specs
>start with a nade or whathaveyou

the threat assesment lasts your turn and aylums turn too, so in the case of another pod walking in, you will get shots at them

another thing about guardian, it doesnt trigger from enemies throwing nades

>did they change/fix/buff guardian overwatch?
unchanged since release

>another thing about guardian, it doesnt trigger from enemies throwing nades
That's because it doesn't have covering fire.

>old Hidden Potential mod is dead
>LW Toolbox is apparently broken
Mods were totally not a mistake, you guys.

What are some good SPARK customization mods /xcg/?

the CABAL voice pack

Aid Protocol now grants the target a Covering Fire Overwatch shot, but the Aid Protocol cooldown is increased by 1 turn

it doesn trigger that one either

Guys, seriously, is there not a way to change the "Shibobi" class name in the LW perk mod? Would this be possible by editing an .ini file?

Guys

>LW Toolbox is apparently broken
Explain

Commander, we're reaching critical levels of smug anime girls here. We're going to have to move faster next time if we want to counter them!

>no one has updated Ufopaedia in a month

Is it dead

>smug

Where is the mod that removes Gatecrasher from the game.

Quick Start doesn't work

Play with the tutorial on

Comments are flooded with people saying that their soldiers lose stats (as in, go from 75 to 70 aim on promotion, as far as I understand). No idea if it's legit though, guess I'll find out soon enough.

>Shibobi
PROFESSIONAL
MODDING
TEAM

>re-watching bagel's I/I series
>completely forgot about the intro
So is there a webm of that with sound anywhere? Either the S1/S2 or S3 version is ok.

>these EU T1 leggings

So slick.
Truly best legs option.

Do aim penalties still apply to overwatch when ambushing with only a phantom being concealed? Not sure how that works.

Came back after months to play some XCOM2 and it's still buggy but not only that, patches have ruined essential mods that should be a part of the base game! Number one on the list is stop wasting my time which is so much better than firaxis shitty attempt with zip mode.

Frames are better but the pauses are still there and so immersion breaking. With zip mode on it still has ayys getting shot> thinking about it for who knows how long > then finally dying from said shot. Whoever thinks the game needs that shit in firaxis is a full blown scumbag,

Does anyone else have their dropship debreifing act as if you press CAPSLOCK almost immediately?

I'm not pressing it so I wonder if there's a mod doing it.

Can I ini edit zip mode? Fuckers keep lagging after kills or when they kill me.

Stop wasting my time works perfectly fine with zip mode you autist.

The latest patch broke it though,

Oh wait nevermind, it doesn't kek.

XCOM2 is dead, modding is dead. Cheers firaxis for breaking essential mods with your "patch".

Where you getting that shit from?

Is XCOM2 ever going to be properly patched?

>implying
magnificent design my friend, both game and engine related

BlueRaja [developer] 8 Jul @ 1:44am
It seems to be broken by the latest patch. I plan to look into it soon.

The only thing that's been "broken" are MECs doing very fast 180° turns while shooting, it's only an animation and nothing regarding the soldiers or skyranger felt off

The mod doesn't work though there is still lags when enemies are killed. It's bullshit that this is acceptable and firaxis should be fired..

Do you guys like the new DLC? Does it help against the Alien Rulers?

Yes, yes.

Yes
Kinda.

Is this your first game with a modding community or something? Patches and updates always break mods on every game with mods.

Yes.

I don't really like the SPARK class because it's not very customizable, but one ability tree does work against the Rulers.
