XCOM General - /xcg/

Supply raids are still TRASH

>tfw using company of heroes voice packs

THIS

WHERE DO I GET ALLOYS AND CORES?!

Kill Faceless.
Violate their wholes with Tygan
Acquire Ruse Cruise grenades

What are safe things to sell on the Black Market? Last game I sold a bunch of solider corpses and couldn't build any exo suits until later in the game cause soldiers became so rare.

>alloys
Fucked if I know.

>cores
Alien loot covert op.

Pure Kino, I need more COH2 Russian voice packs for my slavs.

Any good accented (not language) voice packs?

I fucking hate those missions

The Dirty Bomb voice packs are pretty good.

>Mimic beacons are good? How get?
Super good. Collect Faceless corpses
>What buildings and in what order and what location?
Location isn't super important. GTS or resistance ring first. Then it's probably foundry or infirmary.
>What is a good squad to use? One of each?
As a rule, you can't go wrong with this, but I'll give some tips.
For missions where you need to move fast to get to the objective, or the objective is hackable from a distance, consider taking a reaper or specialists.
Some missions all you need is damage. Stack up on 2 grenadiers, maybe three. Any mission without lost, multiple grenadiers is never a bad idea.
For lost missions, make sure you have someone who can reliably handle them. High aim marksman, reaper, skirmisher, specialist, they will all do the trick. Rangers can handle up close.
For any mission, try to bring someone with concealment perks. Ranger with concealment specs or a reaper.

Next expansion when

3 years, assuming XCOM 3 is coming out in 2.

Supply raids, intel in the black market.
>cores
Any mission ever.

So the extra resistance soldier from the resistance order just spawned next to the VIP.
I am tempted to just pull the trigger and rush to evac.

Like said, the Dirty Bomb voice packs are generally pretty good. The Company of Heroes ones are also really solid.

If we get hair mods for them they'll be qt

> Dirty Bomb
Shit I thought this was some dumb eceleb meme voice packs, but these seem pretty decent.

Helmet on or off?

dew it

>not squishing her thicc butt

I nicknamed my Reaper's rifle Oyster, because don't fear the reaper once played on my playlist when i sent her on a mission

I remember having mecs in Enemy Unknown, why are mecs locked behind dlc in xcom2?

Why is Tygan and Mox so cool?

MECs were locked behind Enemy Within you doofus.

They were in a DLC Enemy Within. Unless you mean shivs

ILL LET YOU LIVE IF YOU UPLOAD THE WEAPON MEGAPACK

I accidentally did the same to a Sectopod who was standing below my Ranger. I had completely forgotten that they blew up.

MECs were only in Enemy Within tho

You should kill yourself dilbert

...

The GTS Skirmisher skill is pretty terrible but the one I picked up off the workshop feels too overpowered.

Ranch?

Is there a mod that lets Fusion blades keep the Stun chance?

>cheating

I'm trying to make Grandpa Fisher but I can't decide if I make him Reaper or another class. Think I'll put it off for a while and remake someone else, like Kane and Lynch maybe.

If you mean ripjacks,

>the one I picked up off the workshop

What's it do?

you stupid bitch, you stupid fucking bitch

No, Swords

I love you /xcg/

Gives the Skirmisher a free blue move every turn.

...

Which difficulty is the game most balanced for?

>grab or lose all the crates on the map
>still another pod lurking around somewhere
>bradford tells me we're finished, and not to take unneccessary risks
>good idea, lets evac
>get absolutely nothing from mission even though we grabbed the crates that were sitting around
fuck you bradford

GTS - RESISTANCE RING - (depending on whether RNG hates you or your a shitter) INFIRMARY OR PROVING GROUNDS - POWER - THE PROVING GROUNDS OR INFIRMARY - TRAINING CENTER - RESISTANCE COMMS

Veteran if you skip must have hacks and just want to have fun roleplay and Commander for tactical slaughter using whatever means necessary.

Commander I'd say. Even when you get all the good shit you can still fuck up and get punished for it. Veteran is too easy and you can just blunder through it without encountering many issues. Legend is a meme.

I wonder if there's a mod to change that pistol to a Bryar (Kyle Katarn's pistol)

Commander

Can you get max contacts with just one comms center fully upgraded and staffed and through covert missions? Got one space left in my facility, but 13 contact slots atm.

Commander.

Is there a mod which decreases the damage done to the environment by small arms?

Lel, that's ridiculously OP.

>want to actually play the game with the rookies I get
>Too nostalgic resist making them into my team from my first playthrough

Obviously you have to do some initial customization to make them look not retarded but I wish I could resist at least keeping their names, faces, and countries.

I love my Shen's gift mech, but is it really worth to make another spark?

Also, why do people say that grenades are OP if they always do less damage than my rifles?

Yeah, I've done it on several campaigns.

Guaranteed damage + destroy cover + splash damage.

veteran is a good starting place if you're new to xcom 2, but commander is the most balanced difficulty I'd say (most fun overall, too). legend is just bullshit

Grenades are guaranteed damage and destroy cover.

According to my luck if a shot isn't 100% against an enemy with even the slightest amount of dodge the attack is getting dodged everytime.

Is that overpowered though?

I see the point, I thought I was missing out some kind of upgrades.

I did time to time use them when I simply could not hit shit.

I did a L/I when the XCOM 2 was released, but I sure as hell wouldn't do it again after knowing that Legend is supposed to be a marathon.

Muton autopsy unlocks plasma grenades in the proving ground, giving +1 damage and +1 amor shred.

>you're the commander
>there's a difficulty called "commander"

Has the mod that lets you wear any tier armor as cosmetics been updated for wotc?

Its bullshit alright. There should be a separate 'marathon' option to tick. Otherwise im waiting for Commander+

And after that you should be able to do Proving Grounds for the Bombs.

>hack chance on Sectopod, 23%
>damage it and then throw it an EMP grenade
>24%

Holy shit why does it seem that hacking work only if you savescum on certain enemies.

Wrong because you forgot about the psilab. You get that shit as soon as possible for that dominate goodness.

>You get that shit as soon as possible
After T2 weapons, T2 armor and the Shadow Chamber tech.

Who's ironman legend in here?

I'm going to play XCOM 2 for the first time.
Should i install the long war 2 mod?

post ur battle waifus

How do I adjust the frequency of men and women recruits?

>mod gets updated
>can't put bikini's on hero units anymore

WHY DID HE DO THAT?

Wouldn't recommend it, better to try a few runs on vanilla and then switch than start right away.

How severe are the 'tired' penalties? I want to assault a big facility, but my best guys still need a few days of sleep, apparently.

IN A VIOLENT WORLD
WHERE DECEPTION'S FREE

If you take damage, the tired will panic and may develop a fear of something. They could also go berserk and shoot anything in sight.

...

Tits and ass not big enough to be 2B

>playing with the ironman setting

There's too many bugs for that.

Who's Ironman Legend in here? Thoughts on it?

BIG TEMPLAR COCK

That's pretty significant. Can't say I'm fond of the fatigue system. The infirmary doesn't reduce the time on that, right?

I work with what I got. There is a bigger tits torso option but it's just naked so can't post that. Loverslab guys need to get in to gear on updating and making new lewd shit.

No, that annoying faggot E3245 is waiting for Beagle to finish his playthrough, as far as I've been told.
