XCOM General - /xcg/

Sectoids are a threat

In Xcom EU
For the first month or so

Jingle bells
ADVENT smells
A Viper laid an egg
The UFO
Failed to go
So XCOM got away

Nice!

What is the best Domination target?

Shieldbearer seems pretty great.

Yeah, shieldbearers are excellent. Also Gatekeepers, if you can swing that.

Sneks are always 100% chance of success with strong psi, decently tanky due to a medium health pool and dodge, and bring some nice utility with free aim poison and the ability to disable any a target completely. Plus once you are done with the mission you can take the snek back to base and remove it

>Dominating Gatekeepers
That sounds difficult and a ballsy use of action points, I'll have to try it.

Do I have to wait until a gatekeeper opens up to flashbang and set them on fire? I feel like I'd need all the will penalties I can get.

Bangs work on a closed Gatekeeper, not sure about incendiaries.

and remove its virginity*

odd that your keyboard didn't register the last few characters in your post, don't worry though I have you covered friend

Andromedon

Fuckloads of HP, bigass cannon, poison and all that, and you save yourself the hassle of havign to kill it twice.

>Implying Sneks aren't huge sluts who spread their reptile stds at any chance they get

Huh. Next time I hear an Andromedon in the fog of war, I'll be sure to save my Domination.

>dominate andromedon
>it wrecks the alien lines and takes concentrated damage to take it down

good times where had

How do i know advent doesnt have sleeper agents on the avenger?

Don't worry about it there's no way to know, so why worry over something that can't be helped

Commander performs full cavity search of all on board the avenger when

What about Bradrord?

he can help too i suppose

i just had two floaters randomly explode
they both flew in the same place
what happened to them?
map is van dorn map but starting on the opposite side

shoddy workmanship by the sounds of it

They probably flew over a no go zone where there isn't actually any terrain. This will kill any unit instantly. Works on your troops to. One of those also exist on the L-Shaped highway map.

In XPiratez, why do I sometimes get negative points for capturing people alive, and positive for killing them?

Depends on the faction. Government forces and civilians always give a negative score (less for capturing than killing). Who are you fighting?

How do I recognize them?

with a name like that i feel like im in for some shit

Anyone who moves is an Ayy.
Anyone who stands still is a well disciplined Ayy.

>trigger 12 sectoids and a thin man in one fight, exit with no casualties, also two seekers
>trigger 9 exalt in the first turn and suffer no casualties, only one injury
>trigger 4 mutons, 4 sectoids, 4 floaters, and a couple outsiders in two turns with half movement expended on reveals, no casualties
play normal in lw they said
it'll be hard they said

I don't know how up to date is, but this wiki has also been useful for factions. Just because someone has a pistol doesn't mean they aren't considered a civilian. You can get civilians mixed in with enemy combatants on the same mission.

this tbqh

Okay, so what's the best domination target to deal with Alien Rulers?

I still think shieldbearer is pretty solid.
>Guaranteed success on the domination and they're almost always available
>Shield will protect from almost everything Viper and Archon rulers throw at you, Berserker not so much but 5hp is 5hp.
>3 armor and decent health makes him a pretty okay tank to stand out in a field.

I hate xcom!

In another brazen attack by xcom multiple peacekeepers are confirmed KIA by snipers in a major metropolitan area please stay indoors they are targeting civilians.

Well I hate you too, Patty!

That's a mans face

This is an excellent screenshot, well done.

thanks I try

add another one to the list

Is Robojumper literally ///////////////////our guy////////////////?

Fuck "our guy." I see him everywhere he is really starting to piss me off.

...

It's always the smallest things...

saved

I wonder what the world will look like, when the ayys are all removed.

>on four separate occasions i've forgotten to set a new research and then carried on for a week or two in game without realizing it
what the fuck is wrong with me

...

Too much multi-tasking if I had to take a guess.

why you gotta go and make me sad

Like the intro of Xcom2 but with Xcom soldiers and Sparks instead of Advent and Mecs.

...

Half a century later, they use the technology boom to enslave the galaxy.

Kek.

kek nice

YES.

...

>Bradford
>ever having peace

Once the war is over and both land and sea are purged of filthy ayy scum, he will take the Avenger and wreck their planet.

"are we still the good guys"-random trooper

"The aces of XCOM never flew in battle again. Above the clouds there was only a clear blue sky, no longer in need of heroes. And perhaps that's what they were hoping for, all this time."

what an interesting pod

very interdasting

Its "that guy" at the gym

He only ever takes off the mask for FIVE SCOOPS C'MON!

lift while balancing on a medicine ball

>this is how Bradford trains rookies

Sounds about right

First time Long War?

That moment where shits about to pop off

Why does the thin man you interrogate look so smug? It makes me nervous that it isn't freaking out when vahlen is about to stick a drill in it's brain

because he is not afraid to die

They have a lot of loyalty for hired mints.

He feels nothing but contempt. Sneks aren't any different btw.

Why am I no longer allowed to take bradford's gun from him?

it would be extremely painful

He is not that big of a guy.

For you

R-Really?

hes huge!

didnt meant to put an image

I'm thinking of doing an all pods active playthrough. Should I do it?

yes its fun and hell

I have a feeling you would regret it if Alien Hunters appeared in the mission

I would have them disabled cuz I'm a scrub and LW Alien Pack was already too hard for me sometimes

Been working through UFO defense taking babby steps and I think this is the first time I've gone not fullretard to see someone promote to Commander.

Good job. Stick him in the back, if he dies everyone freaks out.

Reinstalling XCom 2, haven't played since release month and only Vanilla.
Whats the current suggested play? Should I just download all the Long War releases? Anything else?

There's a modlist in the OP.

>Install everything!
No thanks

Or you could you know, look through the mods and pick what you want.

Is there any point to continuing a guerilla op after you fail the mission objective? (Protect the device, etc) or can I just evac right then?
