If I can't get the new stuff in this game, I suppose I can live with that, as I am really enjoying this campaign. Just got a flawless on a protect the device mission where things seemed to be going tits up, I accidentally deployed my hacker with just a shotgun and no gremlin (seems to sometimes happen with that RPG overhaul that equipment will reset and you have to make sure everyone's equipped correctly) and I activated three pods at the same time. Somehow I got through it without being shot at a single time, made judicious use of teamwork for extra actions for my assault and gunner (who also gets one bonus action per turn for close quarters kills) and dominated an advent prisest with my psi operative I've been training up. Templar also came in handy, especially against an Andromedon shell, just hitting him with rend and using parry to absorb the punches allowed me to pretty much negate that fucker. Templars kind of rule actually.

If you clear the campaign the armor/guns will be added to your inventory and the others are all settings in the expected locations

FoolyCharged posted:If you clear the campaign the armor/guns will be added to your inventory and the others are all settings in the expected locations Thanks. I just finished the first one on Nightmare/Commander difficulty. I liked some of the missions and they felt pretty well balanced, except the first two which were just tedious overwatch spamming on my part, which is something I've stopped doing, now playing much more quickly and aggressive. I really liked the police station mission though, something like 25 ADVENT, including a sectopod, in that one building crammed with civilians and you just have to make the absolute best use of your abilities in order to pull through. Pretty pleased with the unlock actually I had just upgraded to plasma weapons but had been pretty apprehensive about it for the simple reason that I really prefer the look and feel of the magnetic weapons. Thankfully the legacy plasma weapons actually look pretty drat good, though sadly I one got one of each type. Thinking I'm going to blast through the other three as well, though not on Nightmare, those attitudes look pretty neat.

So, I know I'm a bit late in the game, but is this normal? Just got a resistance faction mission that rewarded me an engie + 104 intel + 2 captain rangers. Was admittedly fairly challenging (berzerker queen + lost + tightly packed pods) but still feels rather high...

Playing TLP and ran into a Specter for the first time (also my first WotC game). It popped up and did a Shadowbind on my Marksman. I killed the Specter, which was the last Alien on the map. The Shadow vanished, but then when the mission was ending, my Marksman died. My understanding from reading around is that the soldier should have been released. Is that not accurate? Perhaps it is because of one of the mods I'm using, including 'A Better...' series? I checked Better Advent but didn't see this explained.

I thought the spoiler people were alluding for the final legacy op was going to be Peter Van Doorn. Came out disappointed, but not unsatisfied. I liked this way of playing XCOM, do generated ops use Alien Hunters and Shen's Legacy Content? Does it add enemies from mods if you have those installed? It got a bit predictable there by the end, other than some map design tricks.

So I feel like a massive idiot for asking this, but where is the button that lets you recruit additional reapers/templars/skirmishers? I am getting pretty far into the game and I think I have gotten one extra reaper from a covert mission, but that's it.

I'm not sure.

I saw one mission to recruit a reaper early in the game and haven't seen a single one for any of the factions since. Its kinda annoying. A squad of Templars would be dope.

By default you can only recruit one extra faction soldier from the faction you start the game with. It pops up as a covert op. If you have them die it'll also pop up randomly but only to the max of 2/1/1. Reality Machina has a mod that let's you get up to 2 for all of them.

Its not Templars, but if you have the MOCX and Fulton Extraction mods from RealityMachina, you can forcibly recruit all the Skirmishers you want.

I had a mission where the only remaining enemies were a single lost, a viper, and a stun lancer. So naturally the viper bound the lost and the lancer missed the lost and they stood there looking real stupid as I killed them.

Does WOTC make all “protect the device” levels be sewer levels? I’ve done 4 of them in WOTC and all were sewer levels, with 1 crew of aliens running around the area and the others all clustered around the objective from the start.

The Fulton mod is really fun. Mostly for having Menace 1-5 all pick up an enemy corpse before they scamper onto the skyranger, but also so you don't screw yourself with a weirdly rare enemy spawn on a forced extraction mission. And of course, ballooning a MOCX squad and brainwashing them into your buddies. I have a whole Skirmisher squad from taking them out. I kinda wish the Spec Op class had a perk for Peace Walker style KOs into Fultons.

I forgot which class pack had it (Its either Richards Class/Shadow OPs) that has a class that focuses on using the Stun Arch gun instead of a pistol. Really class to be able to shutdown a single enemy for a turn or two and it would work great for the Fulton.

So if you rend, combat presence, parry, rend, and parry again, you can parry 2 attacks on the same turn. Super Cheats! Or maybe intended.

Hey, anyone know if there's a mod that slows down research speed a bit? As we know, WotC is a bit hectic especially with DLCs not integrated and the Lost and the Damned enabled, and with covert ops rewards of scientists and engineers and the new mechanics for inspired research and breakthroughs I'm finding I have been blasting through the tech tree a bit too fast for my own liking, rolling with magnetics within a month of starting and stuff like that. Though I'm enjoying the campaign I was playing, I've found some more mods I want to play with (mostly perks and classes and such), so I'm thinking of starting a new one. And doing something to slow down the pace of the game just a little bit would be good I think. I tried googling for a research speed mod but couldn't really find it, perhaps it's simple to just mod that yourself? Though I don't know how that would effect enemy levelling and such (are they based on your tech level, soldier levels?) e: huh, seems to be quite simple. Gonna make my own implassic difficulty I figure. Also I think I'll change the Chosen to not appear until a month into the game maybe.

So I rushed the Assassin's Stronghold after her introduction, and was waiting on the right time to hit her, killing some time to let my A team come off of tired status, and got a council mission. Fine, I can handle that with the B team. Then I took the A team into the stronghold and it was so exhausting literally everyone came out of it shaken for three weeks. Immediately afterwards, I got hit with the Avenger Defense, which I was able to get through with some of the B team guys who weren't too tired or busted up, but now two of those characters are shaken as well. And now a supply raid just popped.

I like imagining the reason behind supply raids being so sudden and time sensitive is because the preceding events were a couple of resistance yokels getting drunk off bathtub whiskey and getting so mad about aliens that they hosed up a train track and derailed a train because gently caress Advent. Then after a minute realizing "oh poo poo we should call XCOM with their flyin' ship". Mainly because I'd 100% be that kind of yokel if I were in the resistance.
