/xcg/ - XCOM General

God damn. My ranger got serial as a bonus from the AWC. She's able to clear out 4-5 enemies a turn and move after each kill. This is fucking wild.

I don't think so I think is just High ground

Try Uniform Manager?

All vipers must fucking hang

>Uniform Manager?
You should be careful with that and changing tiers, sometimes it bugs out and locks you out off tier 2 and 3 customization

If this isn't your XCOM soundtrack you're playing the game wrong.

I have 6 peoples on recruit in my haven, 2 months past and they still haven't recruited any1 to their haven

Sssssssay that to my face, motherfucker, not online and sssssse what happensssssss.

Good taste though

Didn't know that I am pretty new to Xcom 2in a way I bought it during the sale and onl played my pirated version some to try it out when it was new well before LongDong was fully developed.

Sorry if I gave bad advice.

No, it's good advice. You just have to be careful when applying a uniform on a previous tier to a new one. It's better to just make a global version on all 3 tiers if you have a certain outfit you like

Sparks and the bolt caster are the only 2 shitty DLC weapons.

>All the armor is great.
>Icarus is borderline OP
>Freeze grenades are useful like meme beacons
>The Axe is a free move and a free move is a free move
>pistol has a 100% chance to hit shot, even though I literally never use that skill and don't see the benefit of putting my one squad sight guy into concealment, plus unlike the other 2 I won't use the pistol unless it is leveled up to the same level as the normal pistol would be

Where as the bolt caster
>1 shot
>never stuns anyone anyway
>can't use it with the ranger cause no rapid fire
>can't use it with the specialist because no multiple overwatch shots, and because my specialist rolled rupture

And the sparks
>shit aim
>comes too late in the game
>have to fucking pay extra to upgrade his shit
>takes too long to level

Autoloader or expanded mag on Bolt Caster. Flesh over Metal for SPARKs with a modded rank up tree

Well the Spark is getting a big buff come WOTC so he's viable plus you can do Lost tower with Tier 1 gear user.

>did lost tower as soon as it was available once
>only Shen, Jane Kelly, and Spark survived

This, SPARKS are amazing when they are first available. Sadly they suck after that.

Is it worth carrying the skullmine on every mission? Or am I better off using that utility slot on the specialist for something better?

>Not naming them constrictors.

I mean they are fucking vipers they really should be biting.

You can upgrade the skullmine again to give it a bonus to hacking on whoever carries it

You upgrade it and then glue it to your specialist's arm.

Do you ever bother with the t2 and t3 swords or the t2 shotgun? I tend to skip over them and just have my rangers use mag rifled and plasma rifles until I get the storm guns, which are the last plasma weapons I get

What MAGNIFICENT method are you supposed to use to actually be able to fight these shits?

>controller

uninstalling long dong

Bluescreen/EMP/Flashbang

How hard it is?
Currently on month 2 and i still have ballistics

Yeah, advent strengh in this region is 2

not being a capitulation fag

shredder gunners with grazing fire to take the armor off, then aim stacked rangers to shoot them 5 times with a command

it's doable, but you should probably wait for lasers unless you have a good team

i'm ~1 month away from lasers, and even then i'll be able to buy 1 or 2, looks like i'll have to go now
assault, specialist, grenadier, technician and ranger is a good team for this type of missions?

Expansion delay announcement coming soon.

you might want to bring a shinobi and try to stealth to the console, but if you can blow through the first few pods you can run and gun to it to basically kill the command pod for free

Shinobi is a good idea, but i don't think i want to kill other pods with 4 man.

if you go with a shinobi then you try to avoid activating til you're ready to hit the hack, so you activate on everything while it's stunned

I mean the only hard part in lost towers anyway was the Sectopod but that becomes easy if you have all your grenades,rockets, a grenadier with shredder and Lily's skills.

>Overwatching with a Hunter Rifle renames Overwatch to Hunterwatch
Nice touch

when

>Advent Drone stuns trooper
>Chosen grabs them immediately

I mean there is supposed to be a Tanky lost unit, we've only seen the normal and the dasher so far.

doesn't work that way, they need to be dazed iirc not unconscious, stunned, etc

E A S Y
50% supply raid was harder than this mission

>finally got a facility lead after some 20+ missions
Fucking beautiful.

Bringing assault to this mission was a good idea

This is last one, i'm right?
10 man squad size and no timer
How many enemies should i expect?

Holowizards.

Honestly find them more dangerous than Sectopods. An A-squad can take down two Sectopods per turn.

I don't think it's possible to do that with two Gatekeepers. Their defense is too high to make shots certain.

>bolt caster is shit

that aim bonus is great early game and the 6-8 damage is nice

Just how often does advent need to repair the forge facility given how often their own sectopod walks though it?

This is a trap mission you guys was talking about?

Only shows up if Advent Strength is above 10.

So, anyone know how hard it is to create mods for xcom 2?

I have some concepts I wanted to test out using stuff from the long war pack.

Hmm, ok, i'll do this then.

Post sexy fanfics

The Bolt Caster's great. The high damage rating and built-in aim bonus means it can carry you through the earlier stages of the game, even if it starts to drop off in usefulness later on. And it just looks fucking cool.

Write your own.

penis into vagina

Still no VOD, I thought Firaxis was the type that wouldn't care about crashes.
Too much stimulation on that one bud.

One day while Vahlen was masturbating king snek got wood.

Snakes get fucking beheaded by xcom, and the Human race repopulates in a giant orgy with all the ayys locked up in c u c k cages before being blasted into the sun

penis gently into vagina

xcom member went to shoot ayys but ended up fucking snek

% chance to penetrate

>90% to penetrate
>Miss
>Fucks your squad mate instead
Magnificent

>90% to penetrate
>Miss
>Penetrate her asshole instead

>Send Shiv to scout
>All clear
>Get a Heavy behind it using it as cover.
>Spot a pod directly infront

What the shit, this game is bonkers as fuck sometimes.

I miss Shivs. They were adorable.

>Send a ranger up to scout
>Nothing
>Send next squaddie to take cover one tile to the left of the ranger
>Activate pod off to the left

The pod was probably in a straight line, but one or two squares to left or right. The step out let the heavy see it.

>finally finished a lw2 campaign
waterworld is a tad anticlimactic desu, 12 soldiers and the commander's avatar just blow through everything

>they're cobras with arms
>spit venom like the spitting cobra
>coil and constrict enemies like Boidae family
>call the Vipers, a completely separate family from both cobras and boidae
>let's give them a chameleon's tongue while we're at it

I know, ayy lmao, but they must be a very confused race.

Well, the names we have are just what xcom calls them, not what they or the elders call them. It was probably some rookie who called it a viper and it stuck. I doubt the elders call the faceless faceless.

Except no.

We are the ones naming it that. So it's our fuck up.

Of course we could call them snakemen, but IP and SJW problems I guess.

The Aliens probably have a name like Bleeblebrops or some shit like that for them.

what about snekchicks?

>Of course we could call them snakemen, but IP and SJW problems I guess.

They're all female. They have boobs. Of course calling them snakeMEN would be dumb.

snaketits(male)

Underrated

Fucking Kek.

>Is that Valkyria Chronicles hidden potential mod?

>AVATAR project bar slowly filling up
>No facilities to attack to slow down said bar
>Just scanning at HQ to pass the time

What did I do wrong and how do I go about correcting it?

Yeah there is a mod like that

Using the male pronoun for a race of beings like had been used for centuries (and hat has at least 1 male we know of) makes me dumb. However tits on a reptile is the epitome of reason.

Okay.

>calling females males is the only logical choice!
No need to over-complicate things user.

Do the story objectives

I did

Yes it's hidden potentials

>tfw this was my first campaign I beat on rookie when the game came out

Is there a place i can find these records my last campaign didn't tell me how good i did?

I took screenshots of the final tally screen when you beat the game.
>2016-02-11

well if anyone recently did a veteran ironman and saved the world data it would be nice to see

What was the last objective you completed?
