/xcg/ - XCOM General

There has to be a valid target, I'm pretty sure. I've had that trait before, overwatched while no-one's around, and never seen it trigger.

Pros
>big booms
>never get tired, shaken, or negative traits
>big booms
>free shredder and plenty of armor
>big booms
>can shoot 3 times in a turn sometimes
>big booms
>can leap tall buildings in a single bound
>big booms
Cons
>can't form bonds and because you have an even number of slots on a squad, you lose a full bond on any mission you bring a Spark on
>can't grow from Covert Ops
>can't unlock more abilities from AP
>no XCOM skills
>can't use specialized armors or special weapons
>2 weapon mod slots instead of 3
>no PCS
>low accuracy
>low health
>slow as balls
>take forever to heal
>half their abilities rely on drawing fire, but you can only heal one at a time meaning most of their build is trash if you want to use more than one spark
>even if you aren't intentionally using them as shields, can only heal one at a time
>can't use secondary items
>Chosen will directly try to kill them instead of statusing them for info so they are dicks against Chosen
>can't use cover
Sparks can put out a lot of guaranteed damage and shredding, but they are genuinely not that flexible in combat so if you fuck up you WILL be punished for it. That said, fuck me is Rainmaker SO FUCKING GOOD. Basically Sparks are blunt instruments, good enough a lot of the time, but hardly safe to rely on.

Did you call them the Skittles Boys?

Nah, Julian Shen and the Berry Bunch

>start new campaign, expand into Assassin territory
>get city mission, decide to hang out on a rooftop
>Assassin shows up, no Shadowstep
>wait for her on overwatch
>she jumps up the building
>slashes my Specialist
>summons troopers without even having that skill yet
>all the overwatches trigger on the troopers scattering
>she runs away

All Chosen can summon troopers before they get the skill, the skill changes the units they summon, or in the case of General, just doubles the number

>"Berry Bunch"
>"Mango"

Did... Am I missing something?

I've finished 2 campaigns so far and I don't remember that at all.

I enjoy making rad guys.

One thing I've learned about sparks the hard way is don't deploy them until you get their second tier armor.

Every time I've seen a spark in tier 1 armor take a single hit from anything at all, it takes off AT LEAST two thirds of their health, if not destroys them outright.

If you want to tell the 12 foot tall sentient war machine armed with the anti-building shotgun a mango is a drupe, not a berry, feel free.

Do skirmishers have reproductive organs? I wonder what sex with them feels like?

>I shall be entering you now, Commander!
>Should I increase the speed of each thrust?
>I a-am about to ejaculate, Commander! Be ready!
>Thank you for that experience, Commander! I hope to engage in sexual intercourse with you again!

>Do skirmishers have reproductive organs?
Probably. They were intended to look as human as possible and Advent had to go out of their way to design the helmets around the eye bug.

>bluescreen protocols behind you

>cums too early
>"My failure is my own!"

They probably are sterile and lack the urge to reproduce, but it's possible they have functional genitalia

>They probably are sterile and lack the urge to reproduce
Dragunova would probably object to that characterization

>rough riders
Oh Elena, you naughty girl...

They have to have a target I'm sure. Overly Aggressive is the worst thing ever when you're in concealment.

Is he learning how to read? Did a simple, yet relatable girl hold his hand and teach him his letters?

>download e3245s weapons mod
>some soldiers keep the weapon I equip them with
>others constantly unequip and just use basic rifle

Anyone know what causes this? Having to reequip 2-3 weapons every loadout is getting tiresome.

They only summon backup when they're alone and only once for whatever reason. If you focused on the Chosen and ignored all other enemies it'd make sense that you wouldn't see it.

Thanks Jake. I really appreciate this spawn. I love how all my units are in the same square really gets my almonds flowing . But it would not be the same if it wasn't for the fact that I'm already in detection range of every pod in the map. I wouldn't be fair otherwise. I really needed this on my perfect run attempt that was going pretty well or else it wouldn't be fun. Thank you Jake. Even though I managed to survive the mission with all my soldiers wounded I really like how I got a supply raid where I was only allowed to take out 3 soldiers 5 days later. I appreciate it Jake. Thank you.

Any way to prevent soldiers from unequipping utility items after they sit out a mission?

Commander Akbar, Bradford Akbar.

Just started my first Commander "second wave" campaign. That's kinda fun! I wasn't expecting that

Are you running any map mods?
This can be one of the side effects.

>tfw SPARK will never offer you a lap seat

What mod are those head accessories from?
I had them for vanilla and now I can't seem to remember the mod.

Stenchfury Modular Helmets :)

Oh yeah, thanks.

Looks like it's massaging her.

p1st0ls ar3 us3fu1

That only makes it better

No mods at all.

Why are the mod screenshots in the workshop looks like the game is rendered in 4K UHD?

any good graphics mods on the workshop? or do I have to go to lovers lab or nexus?

can I take some mods from the nexus while mainly using workshop? or is it an either/or thing?

You can use mods from anywhere simultaneously.

Does Stop Wasting My Time work with Zip Mode or does it override Zip Mode?

I think they work fine together, they have some overlap, but they actually change other things as well.

>Having to reequip 2-3 weapons every loadout is getting tiresome
> in the original you had to manually unequip 26 soldiers and then reequip them properly every mission with no ability to create presets
O tempora o mores!

Very good taste, might copy this look

Muh Pistol. It Useful.

Hey /xcg/ is there a mod that gives shield points for higher level armors instead of more HP?

>you mean like platings in LW2?

yes.

Are there any good torso armors available?

What's your favorite class mods? I need to spice up my campaign

best class

Is it a Reaper? or is it a Ranger?

Are there any mods that add lewder poses for the photobooth? Or more options in general?

Any mods that add better booties to female armor? Since thats the view I get most of the time

when you upgrade your armor, does that completely remove your original character's clothes or do they keep the same clothes.

If I like the look of my characters rn, do I have to go in somewhere and upgrade the model to be tier 2 and 3

>when you upgrade your armor, does that completely remove your original character's clothes or do they keep the same clothes.
I pretty much randomizes their clothes, so I think some mods like unrestricted customization are supposed to prevent this.

now with a full body

WE

is there a 50 Cent voicepack to go with that

That kind of thing makes me want to join Advent

i wish. i really hope someone makes one, but i don't know his music well enough myself to be able to put together a good script.

Why not his video games?

Is there a mod that sends customized weapons to the top of the weapon selection menu or something?

>Could've got Big Boss /w sneaking suit/camo fatigues
>We got 50 fucking Cent

I wish I understood modder autism

...

Meh, I already got MC Ride for the squad rapper.

Buy a computer.

And for the love of god, don't play ironman.

i intend to do a lot more ports in the future, i'll get to it

Koreans are on it, along with polish most famous historical hero and DOA girls.

Didn't know it was possible to one hit chosens.
Sorry for shit quality, I don't normally make webms.

Any shell-shocked Chosen is completely BTFO forever.

>Warlock talks hot shit and then runs between my Ranger and Templar who both have bladestorm

Excellent

>vigilance doesn't affect reapers

Thank god.

>Social media departments of large corporations are starting to use memes
Twitter was a mistake.

>still not seeing it

Twitter isn't all bad

It's solid snake

No it's pretty bad. I've been thinking lately that even the internet itself was a mistake.

>when mom interrupts brother and sister

I'd be a bitter, ignorant and lonely person if not for the internet

Are you sure you are not drowning yourself in mind numbing distractions and pleasure with the internet to cover up the bitterness and loneliness? I know I was for the longest time.

Absolutely, I am a very happy person. I love learning new things and talking to people.

So I've modded the advent squad sizes to be a lot bigger, and thus want my squad size to be bigger as well

But I can't fuggin see more than six soldiers to equip shit to, it brings me seven but I can't find the bastard on the squad screen before an op. \

Any help?

Just use robojumps squad select

Gotta love how he changed MOF to prevent sparks from equipping grenades

that IS what I'm using

The only time Bradford can have a nap.

I love when modders update mods and you have to spend a couple of hours trying to find out how to undo changes you don't want

Anyone try to use shard gloves as a secondary? Spark bits on normal xcom? Wanna try hero perks and abilities on a normal class

use the scroll wheel.

Arby's has been front and center with memevertising for a few years.

you talking about the little bar that lets you scroll along the bottom? Because yeah I move that along and it just slides over to the side where it says "GTS buy squad upgrades" or whatever. Still just six dudes.

And if that isn't what you're talking about my mousewheel doesn't do anything either.

What's especially infuriating is I KNOW the mod is working because I can change suqd sizes to be too small and it shows it in the mission screen, just not too big
