pistols are useful

Grim Horizon is the only way to play.

Remember to be nice to vipers!

No, it's *a* way to play. A fun one, but hardly the only.

NOPE

It's the only way to make the lategame even slightly challenging.

So long as you reload if you get Lost World.

I'm actually dealing with Lost World on a Grim Horizon playthrough right now and, while I'm getting REALLY sick of random zombies running past my Reapers and revealing them, it's the most fun I've had with XCOM2 for a while. Having to juggle containing the Lost while pushing for objectives and wiping out aliens makes the missions feel like real battles at times.

Post the most ANIKI operator you have

>the reaction shot camera won't let go of the game

Stop making propaganda and fight those ayys.

...

is this true?

t. masochist

What is XCOM for, if not masochism?

To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their elders.

Top kek, is this ugandan humor?

nothin personnel kid

Well as long as it wasn't personal

Okay

What's okay?

Pretty much everything. Why, what's up with you?

I dunno kinda depressed, drinking, and my legend campaign is not going very well

Bradford posts on /xcg?/

Commander just keeps making dumb decisions, beginning to wonder why the fuck we rescued this useless failure neet. How many of our troops died because he just was like "lol fuck it yolo" fuck him

Well that sucks

why am I so fucking ugly

...

So uh what the fuck does this mean precisely?

Exactly what is says. Check the stat bonuses from attachments after you use the card.

post pic

no

I see

Laser sight was 10 percent instead of 5 hmm

Don't feel bad. That's just what humans look like.

Basically it improves all weapon mods by one stage, including T3 mods. So a +15% aim scope will become +20%.

even XCOM 2 doesn't know what the rules of XCOM 2 are

Yeah I figured but for some reason it doesn't affect auto loaders.

It does. The text just doesn't update correctly.

Hope you brought some nice grenades.

I did but they fall through the gaping hole in the roof they refuse to fall through

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Truly best waifu

You mean the most GACHIMUCHI

Help.

What's up with the mask? Never seen that on the Assassin before. I've also never let her power up that much, so there's that.

>shellshocked
>reapers
>late game

Don't even pretend you can't take her.

> Shell-shocked
> Hard

teleport when attacked is not too hard to abuse, it is always away from the soldier doing the attacking, so you can push her into the rest of the squad. Killed the last avatar in my fist wotc campaign that way, forced him to tp right into a turkey shoot.
and you should have killed that purple bitch sooner

WHAT THE FUCK

>there are people who just immediately kill the chosen by june

Disgusting.

They get it after training. the guy is probably very late into the game so he shouldnt have too much trouble

Nah, someone usually gets that late in my games, it's just never the Assassin. I murder that bitch as hard as possible as soon as possible. Hunter I generally leave for awhile, I like the added area denial element he adds to missions. Warlock is a target of opportunity, sometimes he goes early, sometimes he goes late, just depends on how the campaign runs.

The problem is I spent waaay to much time trying to keep the Avatar Project from spilling over in my current run.

Ah, I sympathize. I've tended to get lucky with the covert actions, with at least one a month to fight the Avatar Project. Makes life easy, if I'm honest.

Sometimes I wonder if WotC is too hard. It really feels like its Firaxis's own take on the Long War

JAKE RELEASE THE DLC NOW

It's not that hard though?

>WotC
>too hard

It's in many ways easier than vanilla.

Anyone here used XCOM 2 dev tools?

I want to port in some helmets into XCOM 2 but am wondering whether I should connect the maps in Maya or if the tool can do it?

Someone should mod holiday seasons into the game

You can do it, Somebody!

She believes in you!

Really how?

But Todd, you're from Bethesda!!

just like use grenades bro

>Really how?

The faction heroes, one of which can stay in concealment forever and solo missions.

>>Vahlen

WHERE WHEN

I think it's easier than vanilla.

Faction heroes are strongest early game, traditionally when xcom is at it's weakest. Covert options also give you another method of dealing with the Avatar project.

Faction related stuff was a really big buff to XCOM in general really, that one that removes an action from the ayys when they're revealed on your turn just breaks the game.

Each one of you commanders is a winner to me!

That pic is hilarious.

Hmmm.

What is the best settings for WotC?

Disable tutorials, double avatar and mission length timer for a comfy time while playing legendary

How can we Make Ayys Cute Again?

...

BY KILLING THEM

Also Nagato WORST GIRL

FUCK AYYS

don't do this, this is how advent is formed

how is babby form
how ayy get pregnat

They need to do way instan mother

Ayy

Lmao

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I would scream too, if aliens stole my penis

Once the Chosen get that powerful, the average XCOM squad can crush them in a single turn even with their weaknesses disabled. Stop complaining.

Now, dealing with a regenerating Warlock who's only 'weakness' is being easier to target from height on your first Retaliation mission? Pure cancer.

Would it be fair to say the female xcom operatives are about a B cup?

Gadsden is for freedom, not lewd
