Xcom 2 Wotc Gotcha Again Ui Not Visible

ane.) A Better ADVENT: War of the Chosen

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

The enemy multifariousness hither introduces improved Lost with different abilities, suped-up Mutons, and Vipers, renegade Skirmishers, as well as units known every bit Primes that function somewhat similarly to Rulers. Overall this is aimed at creating a much more than difficult late-game for the player where XCOM2 tends to snowball if you have managed to not suffer pregnant loss upwardly until that point. New units will oft have 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 Belatedly Game Experience

2.) Augmentations

Similar to Mutations that existed in Firaxis' offset XCOM game, Augmentations allows you to accept your soldiers and supe them up with mechanical parts to give them an extra border 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 return to the field. Similar Mutations, augmentations provide the soldier with various bonuses such every bit the ability to leap onto levels in terrain without the apply of a ladder or provide the soldier with a stunning dial ability among other Deux Ex Machina-esque improvements.

Highlights:

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

three.) [WotC] Ballistic Shields

Ballistic Shields adds a new secondary item that provides soldiers with a significant defense boost confronting oncoming damage and allows that soldier to serve as a tank option, something that can testify invaluable where tank options are limited otherwise. There are three tiers to the shield which you will exist able to upgrade similarly to the other options available to the Commander on the Avenger. Players volition too notice that they have new abilities to separate these new shield-wielding soldiers and help them be a nuisance to enemy forces on the battlefield.

Highlights:

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

4.) [WotC] Civilians Revamped

This is a simple quality of life (QoL) mod that I think is well worth the mention. If you're like me, yous are frustrated with how civilians seem to be brain expressionless while under set on from ADVENT and alien forces, this mod makes it so that all civilians (friendly, hostile, and even hidden Faceless) respond to combat happening around them. Instead of standing in one spot gawking like morons, the civilians will effort to move to cover and flee. This greatly increased their survivability instead of slapping the responsibility entirely on XCOM. The mod increases some of the stats of civilians to give them a better adventure at not being nuked by ADVENT on sight.

I find Civilians Revamped nigh helpful during Retaliation Missions, where y'all might be coaxed into recklessly pushing your soldiers forward to take a chance at rescuing any civilians in the area. Something that comes in handy after in the game as enemies become much much more devastating.

Highlights:

• No More than "Deer In The Headlights" Civilians
• Civilian Stats Slightly Increased
• Disguised Faceless Can Potentially Exist Attacked By ADVENT

v.) [WotC] Cistron Mods

Another modernistic for those familiar with the mechanics and upgrades from the showtime XCOM game, Gene Mods reimagines and implements that concept and brings it to XCOM 2. In the 2nd game, gene mods were replaced by Personal Gainsay Sims (PCSs) which tin can be applied to soldiers for bonuses simply pales in comparison to loading up your soldier with superhuman abilities such as Viper Reflex to greatly increase a soldier's dodge rate or Beserker Genes causing a soldier to automatically set on enemies in a rage when taking impairment. These mods can be practical in the Infirmary and whatsoever soldier is available to undergo them.

Highlights:

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

6.) [WotC] Gotcha Once more

Based on the original modern, Gotcha (Flank Preview Evolved), Gotcha Again focuses on adding a variety of tactical icons to the gameplay while controlling your troops. This equally a whole allows for greater tactical awareness where it could be sometimes lacking or disruptive in the base game. No more than will you have to gauge whether or not an enemy's overwatch has enough line of sight to be activated by your sniper. No longer will you have to guess whether your soldier has LOS on a hacking point to hack from afar. All types of new icons have been added for convenience including but not express to squad sight indicators, flanking indicators, and destruction indicators.

Highlights:

• Tactical Icons For All Manner of Strategizing

7.) [WotC] Grimy'south Loot Mod

Grimy'due south Loot Mod is an interesting i that introduces a random loot mechanic to the game that rewards the player with loot boxes later completed missions. These boxes are hulled away to the Laboratory where they must be researched to unlock them. The unlocking process is relatively brusk just if you are familiar with the game you know that this time in the early-game can exist precious. One time researched, the box will be opened and provide y'all with any variety of weapons or armor sporting randomized upgrades that provide all fashion of bonuses much like how you lot would see item drops in Diablo or Borderlands.

This can do a lot to skew the game's difficulty either by providing the player with insanely powerful equipment early on, or at any point actually, or by causing the histrion to waste material time but receive very footling in render.

Highlights:

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

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

XCOM 2 introduced being able to train your soldiers with tertiary abilities every bit they progress, but the headache comes in that those abilities are randomly rolled for the soldier as soon every bit the Grooming Centre 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 here eliminates that randomness and frustration by allowing players to choose what Training Center power that their soldier will go when that soldier is eligible.

Highlight:

• Take Full Control Of Your Soldiers Training
• Min-max To Your Heart'due south Content

9.) Iridar'due south Autopistol Overhaul

In the base game, Autopistols were the Templars version of the pistol which worked simply the same as the Sharpshooters pistol with trivial deviation in stats. Autopistols Overhaul alters the autopistol stats and allows them to exist equipped by other classes to take reward of these altered stats. This weapon now does a chip more impairment and has increased range bonuses from closer rangers. These weapons now have a high crit risk and seem more reasonable as secondaries available to virtually classes (depending on your mod choices). Near importantly, the modern adds weapon upgrade support to the autopistols further increasing their viability where they have simply connected to the Templar and bluntly not a bully weapon for them in the first place.

Highlights:

• Improved Autopistols
• Altered Stats
• Weapon Upgrade Support Added For Weapon
• Weapon Available To Any Able To Wield Pistols

10.) Long War 2

Easily the largest and most intricate mod that existed for XCOM 2, Long War 2 completely overhauls the XCOM experience by greatly extending the campaign of the game to incorporate more conflicts, greater direction opportunities, improved tactical depth, and much more. There is and so much to talk near hither that I tin hardly do it justice but amid calculation new enemies, missions, and functions for several XCOM facilities, this mod adds new classes, weapons, items, abilities, upgrades, and more.

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

Notoriously, fans of Long State of war ii accept been dying for it to get 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 effort has been fabricated to bring this dream to reality. You tin cheque 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 War Conflicting Pack

In correlation with Long War two'south goal of ramping up the difficulty and variety of XCOM 2, Long War Conflicting Pack introduces a big assortment of new alien enemies for the player to encounter and pit their skills against. Variations of enemy types and classes that you may be familiar with, this game expands upon those frequently daunting enemies and pushes their devastating abilities even further. From ADVENT to the aliens themselves, players will be faced with greater opposition such every bit the immensely destructive ADVENT Rocketeer or the extremely nimble skirmisher known as the Sidewinder.

Highlights:

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

12.) Long War Leader Pack

If you lot have ever thought of whatsoever of your XCOM soldiers as team leaders rather than the entire team comprised of variable lone wolves then this modernistic is for you. Long War Leader Packs adds to the game a development path available to any soldier of advisable rank which allows them to be trained as squad leaders and attain perks that benefit the unabridged squad. These bonuses range from a 20% bonus to crit for soldiers near the leader, to +1 impairment bonuses to all allies inside range of the leader. Leader skills are trained at the Guerilla Grooming School and a leader can become through training multiple times to gain more perks upwardly to v bonuses.

Something to be aware of is that simply i leader tin continue a mission at a time meaning you should exist mindful of who you lot promote with this skill or else risk splitting soldiers you would rather have teamed together.

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

Highlights:

• New Perks
• Extra feature for Guerilla Training Schoolhouse

13.) [WotC] LW2 Classes and Perks

Some other one that comes to u.s.a. while we look the completion of the Long War of the Chosen mod, 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 2. I prefer the classes and their depth added by Long War 2 and so this is a must for me. The basics are that the modern replaces the base classes and provides eight new classes that are a combination of the base classes and a handful of unique mechanics and gear that brand them much more specialized units. The overall feel is that your squad relies on each other more than often to fill disquisitional roles. That said, this is not a perfect conversion of what you would have found in Long War 2 as some things such every bit Officer abilities and changes to the faction classes take been left out.

As a side note: the mod allows yous to configure and tweak many of the abilities to your liking to get any consequence you lot desire out of information technology.

Highlights:

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

14.) [WotC] LW2 Secondary Weapons 2

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 pocketknife. Whereas the base game but provides five secondary weapons including swords, GREMLINs, pistols, grenade launchers, and PSI amps, this mod reintroduces some weapons like the Arc Thrower and provides every form with a specific secondary weapon unique to their abilities. An added aspect is that many weapons have been given altered stats and in some cases have had their tech tier increased making them more feasible at all levels of play.

Highlights:

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

15.) [WotC] Mod Everything Reloaded

Traditionally in the game, the only item that tin 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 take weapons mods added to them which vastly alters the corporeality of customizability bachelor to soldiers. While information technology does not add any new mods to the game itself, it serves as a base of operations for other mods to add unique mods and it even comes with the added benefit of existence able to increment or decrease the number of mod slots available to a weapon.

Highlights:

• Complete Customization of Modern Slots
• Alter Number of Mods Slots Available

16.) LW2 Utility Plating

Considering the difficult-hit nature that can ofttimes be present inside XCOM ii, it becomes invaluable to mitigate damage as much as possible and it does wonders for keeping your soldiers not only alive just to give them a much greater chance of taking impairment without being significantly wounded. Utility Plating adds items available to XCOM 2 to add to soldier's loadout to add ablative (shield) HP which is essentially a one-time damage buffer for the soldier in question. Equally you progress through the game the thespian volition be able to pump research into upgrading this armor to requite greater bonuses. Players can also go in and alter the setting of the modernistic to increase or decrease this bonus.

Highlights:

• More Durable Troops
• Armor Slots Bachelor To All Troops
• Ablative HP Does Not Pb 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'southward class system has been removed in favor of a single class that can be developed into various specializations by choosing abilities from whatever available specialization. This essentially allows players to multi-grade their soldiers to achieve combinations such as snipers equipped with stealth abilities and a sword or specialists with grenade launchers. Furthermore, weapons and attachments accept been contradistinct as well for unique and more focused roles. Truthful to its proper name, the modernistic also adds RPG elements such as randomly generated stats and the ability 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 mod extremely customizable.

Highlights:

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

eighteen.) No Rank Up Throttling

A rather annoying attribute of the original game was that soldiers could only rank upwards once per mission no matter how effective they were. One soldier could have out 15 enemy units and exist restricted to only achieving one rank up in that mission in spite of their stellar operation. No Rank Up Throttling removes this entirely so that your budding soldiers can rapidly achieve greatness (a real lifesaver if you happen to lose a high-ranked soldier and need a replacement quicker than waiting upward of 7 missions.)

A stellar mod to be sure, but plain, it has some issues when attempting to use information technology with other mods such every bit Long War 2 or RPG Overhaul. Reportedly, the mod works fine with the WotC DLC.

Highlights:

• Unshackled Rank Potential

xix.) Psionics Overhaul V3

In XCOM two there were major changes fabricated to the Psionics class, wherein in XCOM i any soldier with psionic potential could exist trained in order to harness their abilities; in XCOM 2 this was inverse so that soldiers must be trained to be Psionic Operatives as rookies. Psionics Overhaul aims to return the original XCOM i mechanics every bit authentically as possible then 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 upwards regularly alongside being able to be trained with their psionic powers. This is a great benefaction because information technology makes information technology so that psionics are a supplementary tree along with your soldier's full general grade abilities and strengths.

Highlights:

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

twenty.) [WotC] robojumper's Squad Select

Team Selection allows the player access to larger squad sizes much quicker in the game. The high customizability of this mod allows players to change team sizes to crazy limits simply every bit nine and higher up with another mod back up added in. Traditionally, XCOM will only accept admission to squads of four until unlocking the GTS and allowing them to ship squads of five so six. Robojumper'south Squad Select adds support for these increased squad limits with changes to the UI and allowing players to drag and drop soldiers quickly from i menu to the side by side. Furthermore, the team selection carte du jour will provide more information about the soldiers including specifics about their equipment.

It should be noted when increasing the squad size it is common for the modernistic to botch the spawn points of the squad and this requires another mod to fix this minor issue.

Highlights:

• Greater Team Size Ranging From Vanilla To Nine
• Improved UI

21.) Unproblematic True Concealment

Mission timers can bear witness to be a great pain equally they oft strength you to make poor choices or simply cause you to rush ahead on the field to endeavor and crush expiration timers on items/objectives. Elementary True Concealment takes previous functionality bachelor through the Infiltrate Resistance Guild and provides the benefit from the first of gameplay. Now you soldiers will always enter a mission in darkening and mission timers volition not begin to tick away until you have cleaved concealment. Moreover, this modernistic alters mission timers to provide more than length on many of them which were irritatingly quick by and large.

Highlights:

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

22.) [WotC] Soldier Development

If you have ever thought that soldiers' skills should increase along with their combat feel then this mod is for you lot. Soldier Evolution adds the hazard for soldiers to increase their stats such as hack, or aim, through the deportment they have on a mission. Along with Hack, Aim, and Mobility, it is also possible to increase soldiers Ability Points, Will, and Gainsay Intelligence when missions are successfully completed at a rate of Splendid and Flawless. These increases can be tweaked to the histrion's preferences so that harder shots can provide greater or smaller bonuses depending on the difficulty of the shot. Overall, this adds to the progression and farther increases a soldier's connected excellence and relevance equally the game progresses.

Highlights:

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

23.) [WotC] Stealth Overhaul

Stealth Overhaul adds mechanics to the game to provide the entire team a similar concealment function every bit shown by the Reapers. At the starting time of every mission, each soldier has a darkening percent and their deportment have a gamble to break concealments just like the Reapers. Notable changes would exist that other soldiers do not share in the Reaper'south extremely reduced retention range linked to their shadow concealment power. Also, it is worth noting that all just the Reaper still become curtained simultaneously when one of them fails and actions or does something similar that would regularly reveal the squad.

Highlights:

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

24.) [WotC] Use My Form

Such a elementary mod seems similar it should have been something included in the game in the first identify. Use My Form fixes the event with players spending a load of time customizing their Graphic symbol Puddle just to accept the game completely ignore the class selections ane may have had. In the base game, when characters load from the puddle they have their grade randomized just like randomly generated soldiers. If you are a big customizer similar myself and feel that my created soldiers are linked to a certain form past design, so this mod is a must. This modernistic even works on Psi Operatives though the class will be officially locked until the Psi Lab becomes available pregnant these operatives will remain Rookies until they are assigned to railroad train.

Highlights:

• Choose Classes For Graphic symbol Pool
• Soldiers Always Spawn As Their Chosen Course
• Works On Classes Added By Mods

25.) World Expansion Project: Advent

Something that volition stand up out to long time players of XCOM 2, 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. After putting in hundreds of hours, it becomes quite obvious about the repeat nature of the maps and this mod helps a lot with bringing diverseness. There are planned expansions for the mod to cover more simply ADVENT areas and items. Though the projection has not been worked on in some time, it appears to function correctly with WotC and its base works well for other mods that aim to practice something similar for maps.

Highlights:

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