I've been playing XCom since Enemy Unknown came out and have yet to get close to beating either Enemy Unknown or XCom 2
Sebastian Watson
question: if I give a grenadier a battle scanner, does the scanner get increased throwing (launching) arc as compared to a regular hand throw?

How do you spend the XCOM AP that the faction heroes collect? I've purchased Sustain and Reaper on my Templar but it just used the normal soldier AP.
Juan Robinson
>unlock the final mission with all chosen still alive >all i got was the warlock says one line about the gates that might not even be unique to the ending
I'm feeling a bit cheated here

Logan Brooks
WotC is disappointing desu
Jose Edwards
There appears that there was going to be a lot more strengths and weaknesses for the chosen
Can WotC be pirated to work with a legit copy of XCom2?
Joseph Hughes
Friendly reminder that combat intelligence affects the personal bonus ability points the soldiers get on promotions. Friendly reminder that all ability points earned in the field go into the XCOM pool. Friendly reminder that combat intelligence doesn't affect ability points earned in the field.

You wouldn't be so happy when your waifu gets low IQ
Sebastian Anderson
You could change the names of the ranks and the bonuses in the .ini files pretty easily, Hell I'm editing facility and covert action times for legendary difficulty now
Brody Morgan
I don't think so
Isaiah Bailey
What would the "ChosenAchilles" weakness be? The faction hero class they're weak against? All the others are obvious except this one
Ayden Fisher
id just edit a smart one into my waifu like everyone does anyway
Anthony Gutierrez
Quick /xcg/, a retaliation mission has just appeared, there will be one of The Chosen and possibly an Alien King and all you have is your current C-team.
How fucked are you?
Lincoln Robinson
The XCOM AP is a shared pool between all soldiers. If you spend more AP then a soldier has than it takes from the XCOM pool.
Gabriel Hernandez
How hard would it be to mod the Assassin's Harbor Wave attack onto the Katana, so rangers get to use it if they're wielding it.
Colton Richardson
Weakness to overwatch shots?
Michael Sullivan
C for Colonels? I'm fine.
Luke Lewis
>Alian King
You're fucked. Then after the squad wipe you rage and uninstall said dlc.
Mason Morales
>a retaliation mission has just appeared, there will be one of The Chosen and possibly an Alien King Considering the fact that there can't be a Chosen and a Ruler on the same map, pretty good.

Fuck, you actually beat it that way? How did you do it? Do all 3 spawn in the final Avatar room with the Avatars?
Gavin Cruz

Dominic James
I once had a tunnel map with ADVENT Loot Chests Sitrep, except they never spawned anywhere on that damn map.
Grayson Parker
The assassin and hunter spawn in the area before and the Warlock spawns with one of the waves, I had him spawn with a Avatar on my run
So does the training centre allow me to give a grenadier blast padding and shredder along with the bonus x-com ability or can you just swap which standard abilities you want, along with the bonus abilities.
Angel Wright
You can use the Training Center to obtain ALL of your class abilities, and 0-5 extra RNG abilities.
James Bennett
you can take whatever you want as long as you have enough points for it
I'm really jewish with points though
Brody Russell
That covert action that gets you extra ability points is a must. So much stuff.
Ryder Ross
You should be, to be fair.
Adrian Ramirez
>Chosen weapon for Ranger/Specialist and Sharpshoter >No Chosen weapon for Grenadier
No love for them Firaxis?
Jack Moore
in my run the assassin spawned with the berserkers, the hunter spawned with the sectopods, and the warlock spawned in the final room with the avatars.
by the end of the game the chosen become a joke, even with 5 strengths, i dont think any of them lasted more than a turn.

Who's the most annoying Chosen and why is it the assassin?
Angel Bennett
>annoying Warlock. Assassin is the most dangerous one.
Jayden Williams
>Warlock >Not giving everyone mind shields
Granted I faced him last, but he was a cakewalk.
Chase Kelly
What am I in for?
Logan King
All signs point towards the fact that there was going to be a 4th chosen at some point, there is code that references a 4th and unused voice lines for a "zealot" chosen, so it's likely that he would've been a tanky gunner.
Grayson Nelson
there's one unused voice line that sounds utterly ridiculous and no assets that I know of
video games have had a rule of threes for a long time, it's probably nothing
Adrian Long
>mind controls soldier on haven assault >resistance soldiers proceed to light him up and he survives with 1 HP left

If the Assassin didn't have shadowstep she would be easier
Jonathan Ross

i hope you grenaded them
Isaac Nelson
>If a Chosen captures or extracts information from Jane Kelly, they will refer to her by name when they taunt you. neat
John Reed
Loving the update so far, but damn even with all the qol mods, im still struggling with the UI. The fucking around with attachments and swapping the guns for the kitted out one for the squad, trying to find out who likes who pre-bonded and trying to stick to it, the entire covert op screen without a way to preview or modify soldiers and making sure those guys arent taking vital equipment for a joyride, all the shit you can only see from the battlescape like orders, the radio-grid, the chosen infos, the fact that batlescape idling ticks away at a non-trivial pace and so much more....
Jaxson Kelly
No way.
Aiden Roberts
Fun.
Carter Nelson
I think you can modify solder loadouts in the covert ops screen with a little edit button
Brandon Wilson
>there's one unused voice line that sounds utterly ridiculous
Technically there's two, there is also code for a "psychotic" chosen or something along those lines. I've seen people also mention that there was going to be a 4th faction, some form of android class, and there are also android voice lines in the SDK, so they probably just ran out of budget.
Worth noting that the android voice lines are named Julian(sounds nothing like the Julian we know though, they also sound like placeholder lines like with the Zealot), so it could be nothing, or maybe they were going to integrate Shen's last gift as a 4th faction with Julian as the leader, we'll never know.
Nathan Ward
do Elite Priests have fucking Solace or something
I had a Dominated Archon and a Priest landed next to him with some reinforcements and the mind control just randomly broke
Cameron Carter
yea but only the loadout, you cant check or modify their skills and stuff. Also, the hypervital shit only work pre mission, but not pre-covert ops which is bullshit
Christian Walker
wiki says no
Brandon Wright
There really is no need to waste elerium cores for covert ops.
Gavin Sanders
I love Lost-only missions, because they're the perfect opportunity to spam these.
Colton Clark
Just like Vanilla, I expect to see a large amount of UI mods for WotC and updated UI mods. Cause I agree, something things can be done much better or improved. Cause the bonding UI's are awful.
James Morris
only issue I have with bond UI is that stupid giant handshake on the geoscape. no i don't want to bond Van Doorn and JC, I'm going for someone else
Jack Howard
>Supply raid >A team is healing >Send in a ranger only squaddie team >Get sit rep for extra charge of stealth and stealth not breaking for other troops when someone get spotted

Post the first photo that you actually took yourself
Andrew Young
me too...but I still have fun playing it...
Brandon Ramirez
The most annoying thing is that they changed it so you can't see the device's health in the Protect the Device mission unless you have visibility on it. How am I supposed to tell how much time I have left?
Connor Roberts
Just pirated the game and WOTC
The launcher has me choose between the main game and WOTC. Is WOTC a different campaign, or just an expansion on the vanilla campaign?
Owen Watson
>or just an expansion on the vanilla campaign? expansion
Justin Wilson
Buy the game user.
Parker Russell
Bye friend
Evan Fisher
>adversary: reapers >shell-shocked They were asking for it

Ok. So if I am probably only going to play once, might as well do WOTC

Rescue the Resistance Operative is such a fucking deathtrap god damn
Nolan Campbell
Fireteam - squad size limited to two. Mission is adjusted accordingly.
Juggernaut - only one soldier may be sent. Mission is adjusted accordingly, and soldier is given the Juggernaut ability, allowing them to react to every enemy action on the turn when activated.
They are also granted immunity to mental effects, along with being able to parry viper grabs.
Ambush - ADVENT will launch multiple reinforcements once XCOM completes the mission objective.
Chemical Leak - high concentrations of acid pools will appear in the mission area. Due to potential of acid pools appearing on spawn, XCOM will have temporary acid immunity at mission start for two turns.
Low Visibility - adverse conditions in the area has reduced the visibility of both XCOM and the enemy
Black Ops - if XCOM kills every visible enemy before their turn is over, XCOM will regain concealment
Advanced - the enemy fields units more advanced than normal, but in reduced number.
Waves - ADVENT will keep launching reinforcements until XCOM completes the objective
Phalanx - Enemy units are somewhat reduced in number, but will be gathered around the objective: prepare for heavy duty combat.
Hudson Barnes
>Kinect Shielding Warlock on Legend with the shitty old retaliation mission AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Evan Fisher
Is that the sewer one where it sandwiches you between two reinforcement flares every turn?
Angel Johnson
Jaggernaut and Black Ops don't work properly and Fireteam is basically impossible. Advent's AI can't deal with Chemical Leak either
Jace Hall
>Juggernaut >You elevate a soldier to the commander's chosen ruler I'm curious as to how that parrying works with soldiers without a melee weapon.
That sucks.
Ryan Bailey
Juggernaut would be cool but it needs somebody to actually do some work on it for it to be viable
Carter Jenkins
Sometimes it feels like it's better to just let the Chosen steal a soldier rather than fight them and potentially lose everything, but it's so hard to tell
Henry Baker
Am I the only one that's disappointed that for killing the warlock we only get an assault rifle? I very good assault rifle, but still just an assault rifle.
I was hoping to get some sort of crazy psionic amp that I could equip on my psi operative so he could ascend to Elder God-tier level of power.
