>Creating custom Skirmishers is fun

Is my first "real" encounter with the Assassin during this supply raid supposed to be this hard?

She just rolls in and slaps my shit while some Stun Lancers and Lost have their way with me.

Am I supposed to come out of every engagement with these things with maximum dead/wounds?

Send help.

Do I do it? How important is it to get the VIP dude alive?

Ypu have a problem with black soldiers, pal? We're all humans here. That's the important part.

(Skirmishers get a pass too, you guys are cool.)

>tfw one of your anons is a gotposter or other undesirable and you have to fix it with the report

>-1 days
What did she mean by this

I promise

>Broke my Ironman save with mods

beagle in like 5 minutes? will he have fun again?

>sitrep limits me to three
>Get a random defector
>Dominate a Muton
Fuck the system

Battle scanner, or flank her immediately. But realistically your probably going to take a hit.
They are great senpai, all the new classes are.

>Tired Reaper Colonel: I am growing stronger

...

Is WoTC like a lot harder than the base game? It keeps feeling like there is no fucking time to do any of the missions and that the timers are like 2 turns shorter. That and when I did the mission to save Mox I lost 2 soldiers

>It takes all colors to make a rainbow
>Except black, there's no black in a rainbow

>Lost two people saving Mox
Fucking how? They didn't even hit me

You miss out on the intel reward if killed

Sharpshooter+between the eyes = easy lost missions

How the fuck did you lose anybody on that mission?

How do I make my equipment screen look like this

>Wounded, 6 Days
>Gravely Wounded, 5 Days

but memes aside, I'm sick of seeing all those mulattos faces in my recruit list even though it'll soon be the face of the human race after a few more thousand years of reproduction, rage rage against the dying of the light

It's harder because you have more stuff to juggle, even with how crazy good the new classes are. Before it was basically just doing the skulljack and blacksite and then you cruise on alien facilities until the end of the game

people are like bananas, no one likes the black ones

>open the door
>there are now 21 billion fucking advent and I got 2 guys to shoot and gotta run back to the sky ranger

I'm pretty sure you can plop the evac point anywhere

Cause there were like 50 fucking guys and more guys dropped every turn

I beat the base game and the base game with the 2 DLC on commander. I've also beat EW on classic like a billion times and can beat EW on classic change to impossible mid game and win as long as I do it after lasers.

When I grabbed Mox the Skyranger deployed like on the other side of the map.

>wounded 4 days
>gravely wounded 49 days
>took 1 hp difference in damage

>opening doors
No m8, you MAKE doors, and you call skyranger before you do
I literally called skyranger near the cell, lobbed three grenades at the back of the prison, it went down next turn, packed up and left
The entire point of that mission is that you NEED to call evac near, since blowing your covert WILL force it to spawn somewhere else

>"Drama Queen" trait

No it was static, still though it was a really easy mission. I had two guys hanging out near the EVAC while Dragunova grabbed Mox and booked it for the EVAC

I killed one Advent and EVACed without getting hit

Have you hugged your Psy Operative today?

is there a way to disable the Immune to Explosives Chosen strength because holy shit is it bullshit

What is the challenge mode?

nope, my waifus are elves only

Jesus fucking Christ rangers are elder god-tier.

>using a psy operative when templars are available

>5 min after stream time
>still hasn't even started
Bore of the Chosen

He has no arms but he'll fight for humanity

you laugh now but just you wait until you roll an Assassin with Immune to Explosives and your Claymore is USELESS

They get better in WotC since they can get chosen weapons, both sides of their ability tree, and 4 other abilities.

Templars are shit compared to psy ops though. They're only good as melee monsters, but only if you get bladestorm. They are mostly utility otherwise.

>see the invisible
But it's XCOM so you still can't hit it.

Joke's on you my assassin is vulnerable to explosives.
The Warlock is immune though but you can just shoot him in the face anyway.

>finish alien cache soon after killing ass
>this happens
VIGILO CONFIDO

Does blade storm trigger if you use momentum to stand near an opponent?

That one hp was on the nads. Have mercy.

>go to sleep

So its good eh?

It's aight.

Someone make a meme from this shit

>sniper crits purifier next to objective
>mission failed
t-thanks

its good when it doesnt crash, which is often

>2psi

Are psi even that good? I always felt like one is okay at best. Rather grind another grenadier. Hell in my current wotc run I dont even have psi ops going.

>get between the eyes and sniper to mission with lost
>every turn the sniper misses a 92%+ shot with her pistol on her first shot

Works on my machine ;)

>15 minutes after start time
>stream still hasn't started

>tfw no Grimy's Loot Mod for wotc

Nah. It feels harder but once you get 2 squads up rolling youre fine. Covert ops reducing the avatar project is literally op. You have basically all the time in the world due to this.

Beagles soon?

Holy shit this sitrep is broken. if your Reaper doesn't break concealment, then the timer never starts.

Psi are pretty OP.

Two nice blasts, CC, a debuff that also do damage and heal you, emergency stasis, immunity to environmental effects and granting immunity to mental effects to nearby squad members.

And you can explode the grenades that aliens carry.

Post your main bad motherfucker

>stealth

It's 20 minutes past TNX time and he hasn't said a word, he probably got "sick" again

Psi are great.
And with the new system that makes it take a long time to train up your soldiers, having them training independently in the background is great to fill in your roster with strong high level troops.

templars are the true eversors because I can just rush them into pods and bladestorm everything at max focus

Just jumping in to XCOM 2 from 1, I can start a WotC campaign and it will just be a regular campaign with new stuff inserted, right?

They're not two separate campaigns? I also have Shen's Last Gift if it matters.

>stealth
>flashlight on
Dumb Reaper.

yes

>Just jumping in to XCOM 2 from 1, I can start a WotC campaign and it will just be a regular campaign with new stuff inserted, right?

Yes. Think EW compared to Enemy Unknown. Though the difference in features between Xcom 2 and wotc is even greater

Thanks my dude

>Full Skill Tree Unlocked

With Chosen weapons and full skill trees and hero units how can the elders even hope to compete

Rate the factions
Skirmishers>Reapers>Templars
Fucking Templars are chumps who are so situational it's insane. Skirmishers are gods of chaining attacks and soloing entire pods, and Reapers are best scouts.

Its hard work streaming once a week.

Yes. But only if they (enemies) move.

Anyone know if the titanfall armor mod work on the new classes/units?

How do I use the Hypervital Module? I've got a Reaper that's wounded for like 28 days.

You need an elirium core and I think you do it through the squad selection screen when going on a mission. You can also only do it once per soldier and he gets back to being wounded after the mission ends.

I don't get it. I dropped the evac, but as soon as I picked up Mox, the evac moved to the other side of the building.

templars are awesome, you just need to build their focus somehow

...

>Are psi even that good?
Yes? Have you played the game?
>permanent mind control (works on everything except robots)
>two great nukes
>one great aoe
>immune to everything except direct damage
>aura of calm
>can explode grenades on enemies
>stasis for insane utility
They are like one of the two best classes in the game (ranger/psi).

I just killed the assasin in a mission, but the dialogue implied she isnt dead.

a supply raid, bitch didnt see the gas nade and the lost coming

You're forgetting the most important thing that is Mind Control on the Gatekeepers.

she's not

>hero units
Why would you need them when you can ripandtear as ranger? Seriously, hero classes get kinda shit in the lategame, being good only for great utility and a templar melee build.

All right, stupid question. How does one make a mod to put on Steam? Right now I've got some simple ideas I want to implement, they're all ini edits, but I'd like to have them as an easily-toggled mod.
