2nd for snek

Third for
Reminder that snek and filthy ayys should be offered in sacrifice to Commander and His most Holy Prophet.

no

What happens if ayys bump into a concealed Spark? Do they Beaglerush you?

Never seen it happen myself, but I wouldn't put it past the m a g n i f i c e n t design of the game if it did.

The spark goes ballistic and murders them all. You did take hunter protocol right?

Stay salty XSCUM.

>I'll just my first playthrough on commander! It can't be that hard, right?

What happened user?

N-no.
Isn't it shit?

oh you know just accidentally triggering two enemy packs because i wanted a rooftop position
and reinforcements dropping right behind me

Fix your mission screens, Jake.

>civilians can't do fucking shit not even run
>suddenly become walking death machines after getting a grenade to the face and some ayy magic
YEAH THAT MAKES SENSE

cyclops mod when?

when you make it you lazy fuck

Those aren't civilians, they're faceless shapeshifters.

I am talking about the resurrect magic here

You gotta fight magnificence with magnificence, commander.

Take a guess at what enemy type is missing from this mission.
Also no sacrifice SPARK yet, if that even works.
At least there's no timer, the poor guys might be able to OW trap it.

>this fucking shen mission
Did they hire a ten years old to write it?
and voice it, too

I thought it was fun. Seeing Shen was nice too.

Anyone else suffering from the same? Lategame just feels like a boring slog, the hobophase is much more fun

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).

Maybe he dodged them.

33% chance
to fire a 65% aim shot
(with 30% penalty)
at a 15% defense ayyy

I'd say he memes on you.

To be honest, the alternative is comparably shit. I took it anyway, just to see how useless is it in practice.

>Some of which are based off of characters from other games and others from previous campaigns (both EW/LW and 2)
Glad I'm not the only one doing that.

Nth for chill ayys

[waning hope]

>mfw the Shen's Last Gift mission

So there's pretty much no downside to me just sitting in the assembly room with the infinitely respawning MECs and getting all my soldiers EZ XP?

>65 aim
Still missing a level and it's at 75, 85 with metal over flesh.
>30% penalty
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.

Julian makes fun of you for being slow. You don't want a robot to make fun of you, do you?

>/xcg/ will defend this brutality

>posting Mirror's Edge Catalyst screenshots

Wrong general famalam

Sic semper tyrannis

Her arm is too skinny, whens muscle girl body replacer?

They're ADVENT, they deserve that type of shit.

I'm very pleased with how she turned out.

but they're innocent civvies melted into goop

Then consider it a very brutal form of mercy killing.

Do advent soldiers have penises ?

Dunno, do Vipers have penises?

Only the king

I presume not. A sex drive would only distract them from their duty.

No, but they do have cloaca

Jesus.
Mod to have all three spawn in the same mission when?

Who the FUCK thought giving this mission on the FIRST fucking DAY was a good idea?!
Jesus Christ i lost two fucking men to suicide bots already
at least put a fucking warning that this a mid game mission
i can't even heal the fucking mech

oh NO i lost a shitty mech with a GAY voice i didnt even WANT to begin with
let's put a fucking GAME OVER screen right there

>Who the FUCK thought this mission on the FIRST fucking DAY was a good idea
You did.

>ballistics
>rookies
Why did you think this was a good idea, again?
Alien Hunter mission is easier, by the way.

>being this much of a scrub

DUDE this is my first playthrough
i didn't even KNOW it was a motherfucking DLC
YEAH you do that FUCKING mission with three fucking rookies and no saves in the last TWO hours on third goddamn difficulty

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

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

...

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.

3rd difficulty is commander tho

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

Hey that's pretty cool

.DLC missions are 100% optional and never expire. You can do them whenever you want.

Guess i'll go reload the save and wait for my squad to heal, the mech just keeps dying no matter what my poor rookies do
Will there be customization options for the robot later?

>customization
Two versions of torso, legs, armor. Ten or so heads.
>wait for my squad to heal
No. You have no idea what you're doing. Wait at the very least until you have a six man squad and magnetics.

okay dad, i'll do that then

Why is he so angry anyway?

Vahlen took his nipples away.

he has a cock ring but no cock

You'd be too if you were nicknamed subject Alpha but all the attention was devoted to subject Gamma

.>start to type something stupid like "he has no dick tehee"
>/xcg/ already beat me to it

we love our dicks here

some of these modded ayys look really cool

HE'S ANGRY
ANGRY ABOUT XCOM

You're like a little baby

I didn't know /xcg/ was actually /d/

everything on Veeky Forums is secretly /d/

That picture really rustles my jimmies

>does DLC mission immediately
>complains that he's not prepared

>is this late to the party

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

>Is that a 33 against each enemy, against one, or the pod as a whole?
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.

>thought for sure I was fucked
>get Grenadier with repeater attached to take a last ditch shot at the Sectopod
>EXECUTED

Remeber kids, always say: No way to ayy

>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.

>webm
Please tell me he said STOMP STOMP STOMP while doing that.

Veeky Forums is all wrong.

>8/9
how does that happen

Turrets.

>train
Turret. It was probably on top of the last train car on the other side of the map.
That or a ruler.

oh no i missed free exp
Do soldiers even gain exp after getting a promotion? I've never seen anyone get 2 promotions in a single mission

LURE JULAYY NEXT TO THE REACTORS AND BLOW EM UP

YOU MONGOLOID

SURE LEMME JUST TOSS MY ALLURING SKULL OVER THERE

Alluring skull is a pretty underrated item

You can also just keep him on high ground. For once, those see-through roofs might actually help somebody.

>STOMP STOMP STOMP
Nah, just asked if he should double-check it. The smarmy prick knew what was going to happen, no doubt.

Is there a universal option in long dong for item production time or do I have to edit every single item individually?

wtf do i do with unconscious soldiers?

Revival protocol

Pretty sure you are gonna have to edit each item individually. Cheating isn't all fun and games it would seem.

you can:
-pick em up and take them to evac
-wake them up with a medic ability
-let them lay there while you finish the non-extract mission
-draw dicks on them

>draw dicks on them

mod pls

Future Covert Ops all-star in training here.

>2 unconcious soldiers
Are lancers this fucking op or am i just unlucky
