Xcom 2 Gotcha Again Wotc Not Working

one.) A Better Advent: War of the Chosen

Part of a drove of mods that overhaul major aspects of the game, A Better ADVENT (ABA) is a mod primarily concerned with adding an extra challenge to the game by introducing increased enemy variety as well as improved AI and improved enemy types. The other two mods related are A Ameliorate Barracks and A Improve Campaign. For the sake of brevity, I will only speak on A Amend Advent and then that you can get a grasp of what the mods by creator DerBK take to offer and make up one's mind if you would like to cheque those out also.

The enemy variety here introduces improved Lost with different abilities, suped-upward Mutons, and Vipers, renegade Skirmishers, too as units known as Primes that role somewhat similarly to Rulers. Overall this is aimed at creating a much more difficult belatedly-game for the player where XCOM2 tends to snowball if you accept managed to non suffer significant loss upward until that point. New units volition often take support abilities for their allies which tend to create more tactical gameplay.

Highlights:

• New and Unique Enemies
• Improved AI and Enemy Strategies/Abilities
• Greater Enemy Variety
• Improved Tardily Game Experience

2.) Augmentations

Similar to Mutations that existed in Firaxis' first XCOM game, Augmentations allows you to take your soldiers and supe them upwards with mechanical parts to give them an actress edge against their enemies. This also provided new wound mechanics across the entirety of the game with a chance for soldiers that are Gravely Wounded to require an augmentation replacement before they tin can return to the field. Like Mutations, augmentations provide the soldier with various bonuses such equally the power to spring onto levels in terrain without the utilise of a ladder or provide the soldier with a stunning punch power amongst other Deux Ex Machina-esque improvements.

Highlights:

• Introduced Special Soldier Modding Abilities
• Introduces New Cistron Into The Wound System
• Ill Cybernetic Warriors!

3.) [WotC] Ballistic Shields

Ballistic Shields adds a new secondary item that provides soldiers with a significant defense heave against oncoming harm and allows that soldier to serve equally a tank option, something that can prove invaluable where tank options are limited otherwise. There are three tiers to the shield which you will be able to upgrade similarly to the other options available to the Commander on the Avenger. Players will besides notice that they have new abilities to dissever these new shield-wielding soldiers and assistance them be a nuisance to enemy forces on the battleground.

Highlights:

• Tank-similar Functionality For Any With The Equipment
• New Abilities
• Early on Options For Dealing With Particularly Painful Enemies

4.) [WotC] Civilians Revamped

This is a elementary quality of life (QoL) mod that I recall is well worth the mention. If you're like me, you lot are frustrated with how civilians seem to be brain dead while under attack from ADVENT and conflicting forces, this mod makes it so that all civilians (friendly, hostile, and even hidden Faceless) reply to combat happening effectually them. Instead of standing in one spot gawking similar morons, the civilians will attempt to motility to embrace and flee. This profoundly increased their survivability instead of slapping the responsibility entirely on XCOM. The modernistic increases some of the stats of civilians to requite them a better chance at not being nuked by Advent on sight.

I notice Civilians Revamped well-nigh helpful during Retaliation Missions, where yous might exist coaxed into recklessly pushing your soldiers forward to accept a hazard at rescuing any civilians in the area. Something that comes in handy later in the game as enemies become much much more devastating.

Highlights:

• No More "Deer In The Headlights" Civilians
• Civilian Stats Slightly Increased
• Bearded Faceless Can Potentially Be Attacked By Advent

five.) [WotC] Gene Mods

Another mod for those familiar with the mechanics and upgrades from the first XCOM game, Cistron Mods reimagines and implements that concept and brings information technology to XCOM two. In the 2d game, gene mods were replaced by Personal Combat Sims (PCSs) which tin exist applied to soldiers for bonuses but pales in comparison to loading upwards your soldier with superhuman abilities such every bit Viper Reflex to greatly increase a soldier's dodge charge per unit or Beserker Genes causing a soldier to automatically attack enemies in a rage when taking impairment. These mods can be applied in the Infirmary and any soldier is available to undergo them.

Highlights:

• Some mods from the original game, some new ones created from scratch
• Open Source Allowing For Others To Add Custom Mods

6.) [WotC] Gotcha Again

Based on the original modernistic, Gotcha (Flank Preview Evolved), Gotcha Once more focuses on adding a multifariousness of tactical icons to the gameplay while controlling your troops. This every bit a whole allows for greater tactical awareness where information technology could exist sometimes lacking or disruptive in the base of operations game. No more will you take to guess whether or not an enemy'southward overwatch has enough line of sight to be activated by your sniper. No longer volition y'all have to estimate whether your soldier has LOS on a hacking indicate to hack from afar. All types of new icons take been added for convenience including but not limited to team sight indicators, flanking indicators, and destruction indicators.

Highlights:

• Tactical Icons For All Manner of Strategizing

7.) [WotC] Grimy'southward Loot Mod

Grimy's Loot Modernistic is an interesting one that introduces a random loot mechanic to the game that rewards the player with boodle boxes after completed missions. These boxes are hulled away to the Laboratory where they must be researched to unlock them. The unlocking process is relatively brusk but if y'all are familiar with the game you know that this time in the early on-game can be precious. In one case researched, the box will be opened and provide you with any multifariousness of weapons or armor sporting randomized upgrades that provide all manner of bonuses much like how you would meet item drops in Diablo or Borderlands.

This tin can practise a lot to skew the game's difficulty either by providing the player with insanely powerful equipment early on, or at any point really, or by causing the player to waste matter fourth dimension but receive very niggling in return.

Highlights:

• Random Lootboxes With Randomized Gear
• Hundreds Of Potential Upgrades
• Focuses On Weapons

8.) [WotC] I'm the Commander here

XCOM ii introduced being able to railroad train your soldiers with tertiary abilities equally they progress, but the headache comes in that those abilities are randomly rolled for the soldier as soon as the Training Center becomes bachelor. What happens then is that you will often have selections for abilities that are virtually useless for the class that rolled them. I'm the Commander hither eliminates that randomness and frustration by allowing players to choose what Training Center ability that their soldier will get when that soldier is eligible.

Highlight:

• Take Full Command Of Your Soldiers Training
• Min-max To Your Heart's Content

9.) Iridar's Autopistol Overhaul

In the base game, Autopistols were the Templars version of the pistol which worked just the same every bit the Sharpshooters pistol with petty difference in stats. Autopistols Overhaul alters the autopistol stats and allows them to exist equipped by other classes to accept advantage of these altered stats. This weapon now does a bit more damage and has increased range bonuses from closer rangers. These weapons now have a high crit chance and seem more reasonable as secondaries available to almost classes (depending on your mod choices). Most chiefly, the mod adds weapon upgrade support to the autopistols further increasing their viability where they have simply continued to the Templar and frankly not a great weapon for them in the beginning place.

Highlights:

• Improved Autopistols
• Contradistinct Stats
• Weapon Upgrade Back up Added For Weapon
• Weapon Available To Any Able To Wield Pistols

10.) Long War 2

Easily the largest and near intricate mod that existed for XCOM 2, Long War 2 completely overhauls the XCOM experience by greatly extending the campaign of the game to comprise more than conflicts, greater management opportunities, improved tactical depth, and much more than. There is so much to talk about here that I can hardly practice it justice but among calculation new enemies, missions, and functions for several XCOM facilities, this mod adds new classes, weapons, items, abilities, upgrades, and more than.

One of the major changes in the gameplay is that whereas in the base of operations game the player is only ever technically overseeing one operation/mission at a time, in Long State of war 2 the actor is allowed to send several squads on various missions. Teams are deployed from the Avenger and are tasked with infiltrating a hostile site which takes some fourth dimension earlier the player is taken into the familiar XCOM gameplay to control their team. This mod also places more control in the player'southward easily regarding Resistance forces allowing them to exist managed and advised on tactical situations.

Notoriously, fans of Long War two take been dying for it to go an update that allows information technology to work with the State of war of The Chosen DLC. Due to the number of changes the DLC brings to the game, a concerted endeavour has been fabricated to bring this dream to reality. You lot can check out their progress here.

Highlights:

• Completely Game-Changing Overhaul
• Brand New Enemies/Items/Missions/Abilities and More
• Increased Campaign Length With New Challenges

11.) Long State of war Alien Pack

In correlation with Long War two'due south goal of ramping up the difficulty and multifariousness of XCOM 2, Long War Alien Pack introduces a large assortment of new alien enemies for the player to meet and pit their skills against. Variations of enemy types and classes that yous may be familiar with, this game expands upon those often daunting enemies and pushes their devastating abilities fifty-fifty further. From ADVENT to the aliens themselves, players will be faced with greater opposition such as the immensely destructive Appearance Rocketeer or the extremely nimble skirmisher known as the Sidewinder.

Highlights:

• Increased Enemy Puddle
• New Variations To Familiar Enemy Types
• New Abilities for Enemies

12.) Long State of war Leader Pack

If you have ever thought of whatever of your XCOM soldiers as squad leaders rather than the entire team comprised of variable solitary wolves and so this modern is for you. Long War Leader Packs adds to the game a evolution path available to any soldier of advisable rank which allows them to be trained every bit squad leaders and attain perks that benefit the unabridged squad. These bonuses range from a 20% bonus to crit for soldiers about the leader, to +ane damage bonuses to all allies inside range of the leader. Leader skills are trained at the Guerilla Training School and a leader can go through training multiple times to gain more perks upward to v bonuses.

Something to be enlightened of is that only one leader can go along a mission at a fourth dimension meaning you should be mindful of who you lot promote with this skill or else chance splitting soldiers yous would rather have teamed together.

This mod also comes with a WoTC variation and then look out for that.

Highlights:

• New Perks
• Actress feature for Guerilla Preparation School

thirteen.) [WotC] LW2 Classes and Perks

Some other ane that comes to us while we await the completion of the Long War of the Chosen modern, LW2 Classes and Perks works to implement what shall exist and alters the classes and perks of the DLC to reflect that which would have been in Long War two. I prefer the classes and their depth added past Long War 2 so this is a must for me. The basics are that the mod replaces the base classes and provides 8 new classes that are a combination of the base of operations classes and a handful of unique mechanics and gear that make them much more specialized units. The overall feel is that your team relies on each other more often to fill up critical roles. That said, this is non a perfect conversion of what you would have establish in Long War 2 as some things such as Officer abilities and changes to the faction classes accept been left out.

As a side annotation: the mod allows you to configure and tweak many of the abilities to your liking to get whatever upshot y'all want out of it.

Highlights:

• Introducing Long War 2 Classes to WotC
• Customizable Abilities through ini file.
• Adds Some New Abilities Entirely

14.) [WotC] LW2 Secondary Weapons two

In keeping with bringing Long War's features to War of the Chosen, Secondary Weapons 2 introduces increased accessibility to classes regarding secondary weapons such as the sawed-off shotgun and the combat knife. Whereas the base game just provides five secondary weapons including swords, GREMLINs, pistols, grenade launchers, and PSI amps, this modernistic reintroduces some weapons like the Arc Thrower and provides every class with a specific secondary weapon unique to their abilities. An added attribute is that many weapons have been given contradistinct stats and in some cases accept had their tech tier increased making them more than viable at all levels of play.

Highlights:

• Expanded Weapons For Classes
• Contradistinct Weapon Stat Tables
• New Weapons And Some Returning

fifteen.) [WotC] Modernistic Everything Reloaded

Traditionally in the game, the only item that can be upgraded with mods would be primary weapons, Mod Everything Reloaded says pshaw to that and allows everything from secondary weapons to utility items to have weapons mods added to them which vastly alters the amount of customizability bachelor to soldiers. While information technology does not add any new mods to the game itself, information technology serves as a base for other mods to add unique mods and it even comes with the added do good of beingness able to increase or decrease the number of mod slots available to a weapon.

Highlights:

• Complete Customization of Mod Slots
• Change Number of Mods Slots Available

xvi.) LW2 Utility Plating

Considering the hard-hitting nature that can often be present within XCOM 2, information technology becomes invaluable to mitigate damage as much equally possible and information technology does wonders for keeping your soldiers not only alive simply to give them a much greater take a chance of taking harm without being significantly wounded. Utility Plating adds items available to XCOM 2 to add to soldier'southward loadout to add ablative (shield) HP which is essentially a one-time impairment buffer for the soldier in question. As you progress through the game the player will be able to pump research into upgrading this armor to give greater bonuses. Players can also go in and alter the setting of the mod to increase or subtract this bonus.

Highlights:

• More Durable Troops
• Armor Slots Available To All Troops
• Ablative HP Does Not Lead To Wounds Allowing Easier Excellent and Flawless Mission Completion

17.) Musashis RPG Overhaul

Another expansive overhaul of the game's classes and features. The base game'due south grade system has been removed in favor of a single class that can be developed into diverse specializations by choosing abilities from whatsoever available specialization. This essentially allows players to multi-class their soldiers to attain combinations such equally snipers equipped with stealth abilities and a sword or specialists with grenade launchers. Furthermore, weapons and attachments have been altered as well for unique and more focused roles. Truthful to its proper name, the mod also adds RPG elements such equally randomly generated stats and the power to train stats.

Musashis RPG Overhaul has spawned a slew of additional mods that can be added to bring in new specializations and abilities making this modernistic extremely customizable.

Highlights:

• Massive Customization
• Complete Overhaul of Classes and Abilities
• Removes and Replaces Base Game Class System

18.) No Rank Up Throttling

A rather annoying attribute of the original game was that soldiers could just rank up once per mission no matter how effective they were. One soldier could take out 15 enemy units and exist restricted to only achieving one rank up in that mission in spite of their stellar performance. No Rank Up Throttling removes this entirely and then that your budding soldiers tin rapidly reach greatness (a real lifesaver if you happen to lose a loftier-ranked soldier and need a replacement quicker than waiting upwards of seven missions.)

A stellar mod to be certain, but apparently, it has some issues when attempting to use it with other mods such every bit Long War ii or RPG Overhaul. Reportedly, the mod works fine with the WotC DLC.

Highlights:

• Unshackled Rank Potential

19.) Psionics Overhaul V3

In XCOM ii at that place were major changes made to the Psionics course, wherein in XCOM 1 any soldier with psionic potential could be trained in social club to harness their abilities; in XCOM two this was inverse and then that soldiers must exist trained to be Psionic Operatives as rookies. Psionics Overhaul aims to return the original XCOM 1 mechanics every bit authentically every bit possible so that any soldier could potentially have psionic abilities available to them after the Psi lab is unlocked on the Avenger. Furthermore, this allows for psions to level upwardly regularly aslope existence able to be trained with their psionic powers. This is a corking boon because it makes it so that psionics are a supplementary tree along with your soldier's general class abilities and strengths.

Highlights:

• Return to XCOM 1 Psions Mechanics
• Making Psions Out of Previously Ranked Soldiers Grants Much Improved Survivability
• No Long Waiting A Month For A Psionic Operative To Be Viable On The Field

20.) [WotC] robojumper'south Team Select

Squad Selection allows the player access to larger team sizes much quicker in the game. The high customizability of this modernistic allows players to modify team sizes to crazy limits just as ix and higher up with some other modern support added in. Traditionally, XCOM will only have admission to squads of four until unlocking the GTS and allowing them to send squads of 5 so six. Robojumper's Squad Select adds support for these increased squad limits with changes to the UI and allowing players to drag and drib soldiers quickly from one menu to the next. Furthermore, the team pick card will provide more information well-nigh the soldiers including specifics about their equipment.

Information technology should exist noted when increasing the team size information technology is mutual for the mod to botch the spawn points of the squad and this requires another mod to fix this small upshot.

Highlights:

• Greater Squad Size Ranging From Vanilla To 9
• Improved UI

21.) Simple Truthful Concealment

Mission timers can bear witness to be a great hurting as they oftentimes force you to make poor choices or just cause you to rush alee on the field to endeavor and beat out expiration timers on items/objectives. Simple True Concealment takes previous functionality available through the Infiltrate Resistance Club and provides the benefit from the beginning of gameplay. Now you soldiers will always enter a mission in concealment and mission timers volition not begin to tick away until yous accept broken darkening. Moreover, this mod alters mission timers to provide more length on many of them which were irritatingly quick generally.

Highlights:

• Tactical Choices Reflected By A Stealth Arroyo
• Improved/Altered Mission Timers

22.) [WotC] Soldier Development

If yous have ever idea that soldiers' skills should increment along with their gainsay feel then this mod is for you. Soldier Development adds the take a chance for soldiers to increment their stats such as hack, or aim, through the actions they take on a mission. Along with Hack, Aim, and Mobility, information technology is also possible to increase soldiers Ability Points, Will, and Combat Intelligence when missions are successfully completed at a rate of First-class and Flawless. These increases tin can be tweaked to the player'due south preferences and so that harder shots tin provide greater or smaller bonuses depending on the difficulty of the shot. Overall, this adds to the progression and farther increases a soldier'southward continued excellence and relevance as the game progresses.

Highlights:

• Improved Progression
• Semi-random Stat Increases Based on Functioning

23.) [WotC] Stealth Overhaul

Stealth Overhaul adds mechanics to the game to provide the entire squad a similar darkening function as shown by the Reapers. At the start of every mission, each soldier has a darkening percentage and their actions accept a chance to break concealments just like the Reapers. Notable changes would exist that other soldiers do not share in the Reaper's extremely reduced memory range linked to their shadow concealment power. As well, information technology is worth noting that all merely the Reaper withal go concealed simultaneously when one of them fails and actions or does something similar that would regularly reveal the team.

Highlights:

• Full Support For Squad Reaper-like Stealth
• Works Well With Other Stealth Abilities

24.) [WotC] Use My Course

Such a unproblematic modernistic seems like it should accept been something included in the game in the first place. Use My Class fixes the outcome with players spending a load of time customizing their Character Puddle just to accept the game completely ignore the class selections one may take had. In the base game, when characters load from the puddle they have their class randomized simply like randomly generated soldiers. If you are a big customizer like myself and feel that my created soldiers are linked to a sure course past design, so this modern is a must. This mod even works on Psi Operatives though the class will be officially locked until the Psi Lab becomes available meaning these operatives will remain Rookies until they are assigned to train.

Highlights:

• Choose Classes For Character Pool
• Soldiers Ever Spawn Equally Their Chosen Class
• Works On Classes Added By Mods

25.) World Expansion Project: Advent

Something that volition stand out to long time players of XCOM ii, the Globe Expansion Project adds several parcels (like houses and large map pieces/structures) and PCPs (connects between parcels like dirt roads, rivers, and so on) to the random map generator to create more varied maps. Subsequently putting in hundreds of hours, it becomes quite obvious about the repeat nature of the maps and this mod helps a lot with bringing diversity. There are planned expansions for the modern to cover more than than but ADVENT areas and items. Though the projection has not been worked on in some fourth dimension, it appears to function correctly with WotC and its base of operations works well for other mods that aim to do something similar for maps.

Highlights:

• Works With Other Mods That Add together To Map Generation
• Adds Map Multifariousness To Map Gen In-Game
