story user is useful

2nd for kill all sneks.

sneks are useful

XCOM overstates how many Vipers are employed directly by ADVENT. Take this lovely lady here just trying to earn a living for her sneklets by being a maid, for example.

Don't listen to XCOM, kids.

Nice thread also fuck sneks they smell bad

Zap for murdercom!

...

Damn xenos need to be taught a lesson!

I really want to find out what happens to Vahlen during the DLC. The Serpent King was pretty cool, but it showed me how useful the Frost Grenades can be.

Pistols are Useful.

xth for the Great TENGUMAN

Shouldn't it be the anime chick on the target paper though?

I agree

Ow the Edge.

Like this?

You know it's true.
There we go, that's better my man.

>hurr im gonna be le edgey about le animu on le animu imageboard

fucking Mbeke

stop T-posing

Ironic funposting is still funposting, user.

this is so fucking hot

In a 6 shot revolver!

Hence why gunslingers are eternally more useful than 'snipers'.

I fucking disagree

What's new on the mod front? been away for a while.

Are there any mods that allows me to have snakes in my squad?

yes

Cyclops mod when

there is a port of the N7 armor from mass effect
some one started porting characters from overwatch, so far there is tracer and 76
the dragonpunk dev team released a video showing their advances in creating an xcom2 co-op mod
some one dig on the files of "the bureau" and something about the bureau's files being more compatible with X2's engine than expected, but so far no one has ported anything yet

thats all the most recent stuff that comes to mind

Thanks guys

Sure are sicko, steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=644076161

Well, in general the weapon modders have brought their A-game so there's a metric fuckton of shit like the XM8, PKM, RPKn, SCAR-H, Mercenary Plasma etc etc etc. The latter is by far the best one imo because it actually manages to tackle the much harder T3 aesthetic in a good looking way rather than make tacticool weapon port #52952. For a rundown of everything that's happened you could always check the modlist.

If you're talking in less broad terms, E3245 released a M1911 that looks amazing tonight and another mod which adds PCPs was also released a few hours ago.

...

We arent prepared for this

It;s been too long since I played this game.

Which mod for the rifle?

Good to have you back commander

look up FAL

Cvw weapons or something. It's an updated version of one in the /xcg/ collection.

Do we have a /xcg/ homebrew character pool somewhere lying around to download?

I kinda want to take Chase Adams out for a spin

I'm not sure if he's thinking of removing ayys or Iraqis.

You feeling Punished? I'll see what I can do about the character pool

Why not both

I'm feeling that Mbeke Dindu and the great Tenguman need some good to complete the trifecta of ayy rape

>/xcg/ runs for 15 months with little to no new content after last XCOM
>a mere 7 months after XCOM 2 it's kill

What went wrong?

you

I would agree post their details and I can add them

>ayyraqis

Ah shit, Im on the phone

I did pos them earlier. Mbeke is the black guy with the snake tatoo, berret and pipe

Tenguman is the all read samurai with the samurai helmet, tnegu mask and samurai mask B

Also Mbeke uses Tank dempseys voice pack

Just post their details when you get back I check pretty frequently

Shouldnt be long

I should be back in a couple of hours

Weird, this is the first of hundreds of mono animu chicks you've posted which actually looks alright.

wait, is this Mbeke?

Alright cool

Oh yeah. Thats him

His rookie days

Im still getting MEGA set up so here is adams if it doesn't work

i knew i had seen a soldier with a pipe before
also it helped that the tangu mask in the corner made me chuckle

pt.2

PCPs?

COLD
DEAD
AYYLIENS

>SVD rifle
>Removing Iraquis
The reds fought on the same side as the Iraquis though

You really should make a /xcg/ homebrew character pool man, maybe even make one of those google docs which lets you submit people. It'd be a clusterfuck, but I'd like it a lot.

Plot-cover parcel. In XCOM's procedural map generation, parcels are the prebuilt jigsaw pieces that make up the map, like a gas station or an apartment complex. PCPs are what fills up the blank space in between those parcels, so wilderness, roads, or desert. They're notable because there really aren't that many of them - nine or so per biome/map type - so modders making new ones is great. You really notice that it's a bit less samey.

Seconding this motion

>wanting to kill aliens
ayy is not for slay
ayy is for bae

Hell im not doing anything today may as well stry to get a doc up for characters

>slaying ayy with /xcg/ donut steels new and old
this sounds like fun, make sure to yell about it when finished

Well I have doc setup easy ezpz but how im going to keep this organized im not sure yet

Do it user! Maybe just a pastebin where you list all their main customizations, or make applicants submit two screenshots. One of their character in the face/hair/etc menu and another in the props section?

Hello yes where are the aliens?

We want only to talk.

Please do not be running.

they are out protecting us from eggs cum of course, here is a firendly snek lady protecting me right now

do you think shed swallow me whole if i asked her nicely?

Alright the mega is set up so we have a place for the files now. Onto either pastebin or google docs right do we know a good way of doing this a dump pile doesnt seem like something we want to deal with

>tfw you take a huge stupid risk to rescue one hapless French idiot from an open rooftop by bumrushing a cyberdisk with shotgunners, only to have the dumb fucktard take a move afterwards which comprises leaping off the now-clear roof to the street two stories below, into the middle of another short-range firefight between the rest of my squad and two pods of ayys, and then huddling up against a nearby truck.
>which is right next to a mechtoid
>and on fire and about to explode

Is there an additional penalty if I shoot civs myself? Because for fuck's sake.

I like how the target is just some dude standing there minding his own business.

TESTING /XCG/ GOOGLE DOC CHARACTER ADDITIONS
docs.google.com/document/d/12XvY-C-RoQZUexxauBXcCsw1jElq-g8TaCNpLgG2atM/edit?usp=sharing

There is not, go ahead and Allah Akbar them Commander.

So I take it we can start adding people right ?

yeah I want to see if this formats any good

So

how does it look ?

looks good but include the samurai helmet mod if you can

done

alright il add these to the pool in a bit i need some sleep

in case you hadn't seen it the mega will be up soon in the mean time feel free to add a charaacter

>tfw

Belatedly I see my error.

>get rapid-fire
>already have Light 'em Up

oh shid lads

It is pretty solid
I've got myself a soldier on roulette with Light'em Up, Rapid Fire, Chain Shot, Hit&Run combined with a superior repeater, shit's so cash.

Does RNGesus take sacrifices ?

>get the following
Literally the worst: Viper
>forgot to take screenshot

Cyka blyat

It takes sacrifices of the aliens.
It's a self sustaining process at this point really.

>its a codex disabling half the squads weaponry episode

Man, fuck codexes, they're so bullshit with that bomb of theirs.

Neato, now we just have to market it a lil' bit so more people put donutsteels in

Put a guy from my Red Crown shitshow of a modded run in

*I put in a guy, spelling is hard

To follow up on letting people know it exists, do enough people think it's a good idea for it to be in the OP for next thread? Or do only a few people like it and the rest think it's retarded? Honest question

I think its a good idea

It sure as shit looks fun

>it's an autoloader episode!

Are there really that many mediocre possibilities? I had a 5-man squad when I played xcom2 and I only really got 1 duff random skill in the form of a swordyranger with Aim. Everything else was awesome.

I got +4 healing on medkits on a shotgun assault, so yeah

>tfw you bump

>tfw I have no face

>wake up ready for another peaceful day in your cozy small town on the outskirts of the Greater ADVENT Precinct of Irkutsk
>walk out and see this on your driveway
what do /xgc/?

>you will never suck on sectoid's stinky feet

Take a picture, send it to the ADVENT peacekeepers, call my boss at work and tell him I can't make it in because of terrorism, go back to sleep.

Help him up of course, looks like he slipped and twisted his ankle
