Grappled a flamethrower advent with Mox in the first mission you get to use him, and shot the guy from close range to finish him off. Instant gameover, ha.

Oh sweet new maps. I'm in a sewer. LOS is bugged in here and I got spotted on tiles that the game said are cool.

Internet Kraken posted:So don't be like me and assume the crappy broken down cars in the abandoned cities don't explode, because they still do. RIP rookie, died to his own grenade. I had that happen in my "extract VIP and KOed escort" mission from random gunfire setting off a car. Luckily no one was near it, but it was on a turn a horde spawned, so I basically had two spawns on one turn. Suddenly the mission was "gently caress gently caress RUN!" Edit: Also, oh god, got Location Scout. gently caress YES!

Ersatz posted:How does one turn on double timers? I beat the game over a year ago on ironman commander, and I'm not feeling particularly masochistic right now, so I'm thinking a less bullshitty experience might be what I'm after. But, having uninstalled and now reinstalled since then, I don't see any second wave options. When you go to start a new game, there should be an option something along the lines of "advanced options" somewhere in the "start new game" setup, and it'll have stuff like choosing which resistance HQ you start at, extending mission and Avatar timers, Beta Strike to dramatically increase everybody's HP (god, that'd make the Lost SUCK, I think), and more.

funkymonks posted:I'm sure this has been asked a dozen times. I haven't played either Xcom or Xcom 2. Which should I jump into and should I do a first run of either with the xpacs installed? A couple guys already gave you good answers, but gently caress it: play Xcom with the Enemy Within xpack, because it's good and fun and the story ties directly in to Xcom 2. In fact, if you want the full grognard experience, I'd play Enemy Within on Ironman (meaning you only have one save) and when you lose, count that the end of the game. Because Xcom 2 starts off assuming you lost. But more than that: EW is a really fun game on its own merits, so long as you like the vibe where some days you eat a lot of poo poo. But xcom 2 has a bunch of quality of life improvements, and going backwards will probably really aggravate you.

Those resistance soldiers sure do make that first retaliation mission a breeze. I want them on my team, they never miss! Funny as hell, 6 of them were huddled in a bus and a faceless spawned in there. Every single soldier noped it out immediately, it was hilarious. Oh I also killed a chosen today. It was difficult.

I'm reading that the tutorial was supposed to be expanded and pretty different, but up to when it crashed forever on me the only difference was the opening cutscene. Was it referring to Lost and Abandoned? I'm the guy who cares about the narrative.

How do you deal with the assassin? She has massive move range and I feel the only way I can kill her without taking tons of damage is when she does something dumb like using her grenade. Maybe I should just clump up my troops so she'll do it more often? If she keep using her standard melee attack I am toast. I was also surprised that stun grenade doesn't work on her (or the lost).

What are the xcom points then on the skills screen if you don't buy skills with them? or DO you buy skills with them and they're just a separate pool for the same thing?

Xcom points are points you can use on any soldiers. Generally i'll use them when a soldier has 10 soldier points but needs 11. If i have an additional xcom point, i can spend it there.

dogstile posted:Those resistance soldiers sure do make that first retaliation mission a breeze. I want them on my team, they never miss! Unfortunately, the first mission is only sometimes a resistance soldiers one. I've been running a few Legendary games and it seems like handling that first retaliation with the Chosen on the non-resistance soldiers version requires you to have the faction soldier and probably one other Corporal healthy and in the mission. Drag 'em out even if they're tired!

Holy poo poo lost towers went from super hard mission to super easy if you take a reaper with you. If you use remote start on the explosive generators on the boss battle, the damage somehow goes from 6-8 to 16-32 damage. You can basically kill the boss in 2 rounds. Also, you get 15 xcom points for killing Julian, pretty good incentive to do the mission if you have it enabled.

Maybe I should just clump up my troops so she'll do it more often? I've never beaten her without someone getting at least dazed once. But I've beaten her every time she's shown up, albeit on normal difficulty. I think I stumbled on a semi-consistent way to deal with her, but we'll see how it holds up in her house. Every time she's gone down it's been in the space of a turn, or even just a couple of attacks. She'll dive in, swing, then run for sight-blocking cover. She's got a huge move range, so keep big open areas with little full cover between your team and her, so she has to spend it all to get up to you and get away. Use your back line to keep eyes behind you and around nearby walls, so there's not enough fog close to her targets that she can get away cleanly. So she charges up, attacks, and bounces back to the cover she came from. If I'm positioned right, I can chase her down at this point, because she only had enough move to break line of sight by a couple of tiles. Maybe use a battle scanner to confirm, though I've not had the chance. Then a combination of grenades, snipers, run-and-guns and whatever else is handy to burn her hp down. (thanks for the stun grenade tip, that would've been embarrassing)
