Are critical wounds bugged? Cause I haven't seen a single one. Sidenote: The defense bonus on Gatekeepers is horseshit.

Will Resistance Warrior Kevlar upgrade as the game goes on? I only just found out it's purpose in my second playthrough (Lookin stylish) and would really like to keep wearing it.

I feel like there was someone else, too, but I can't remember.
Finally finished XCOM 2. It was great but that final fight was a bit bullshit. I think XCOM 2 would greatly benefit from expansion packs rather than outright sequels. Kinda hard to think of anything that would surpass this. Plus with the SDK provided, pretty this game is gonna last a long time. [sp]Looking at the ending, TFTD expansion pack plz fireaxis[/sp]

Stun lancers are awesome. I mind controlled one and the dude managed to dodge an andromedon shot, 2 grabs from vipers plus their two shots afterward, and two turrets shooting at him, all while standing out in the open.
For anyone who's been having performance issues, do these settings help at all? [t]http://community.pcgamingwiki.com/uploads/gallery/album_84/gallery_371_84_1117814.png[/t] The game shouldn't look too different, most changes are really small.
That's pretty similar to what I have it set at, but it'll still drop below 20 at some points and averages around 40fps.

Some don't do much at all, and they'll kill your framerate for no reason. The settings above have been optimized in order to eliminate settings which do jack shit. Actually could you still try those settings in the screenshot? It would help a lot :v:

The first guy I mindjacked was somehow permanently (or just for a very long time IDK) disabled by one I "hacked" into controlling, thanks to based RNG. I killed everyone in that officer's pod and then proceeded to mindjack him. The resulting "surprise" wasn't all that scary as a result, it ate overwatch.

Just had one of the unluckiest and somehow luckiest mission of all time I attack a disabled UFO, run one of my guys into cover by a high cover point close to the UFO and he's spotted by 2 sectoids and a viper that were hiding just over the edge, so I had to move into position to try to kill them, and in the process of doing that, I hit a pod with a MEC , stun lancer, and shield bearer. I take a few shots at the ADVENT guys, flashbang the aliens and send my ranger and a grenadier to make a run for the inside to turn off the distress beacon. I won't bore you with the details, but the only reason I managed to survive was clever use of hunker down, flashbangs, lucky rolls, and the ADVENT shieldbearer managing to miss 3 close range flanking shots in a row. Finished the mission with no dead and 1 wounded.
You think the final fight is bullshit, you should see it on higher difficulties. The final room alone took me something like 30 minutes, the whole final mission took me 3 hours to complete. I was being super super methodical and it was still really hard. [sp] The 3 Avatars i have no problem with, it's that the enemies constantly stream towards you and it's more of an endurance test than anything else. [/sp] If i'm even going to commit to a sprint turn one, i always throw a scanner so i don't bump into an entire squad of mutons and proceed to hate my life.

So I mind controlled a Codex in the middle of capturing a UFO. There was quite a ton of bullshit happening but nobody died thankfully. In the last engagement, everyone got shields because fuck me and I wanted to keep the Sectopod from really fucking my squad up, so I figured I'd give them a taste of their own medicine and cheese with the Codex. However I did not know if the weapon disable would proc on them all since they all had shields, plus I wanted to make sure I killed as many as possible when using Serial, and active shields make that difficult. I spent like 5 minutes trying to figure out the best course of action and then realized I could null lance the shield bearer at the very least, then use Serial to wipe out as much of everything as possible. Then hope the Sectopod doesn't come charging in and shooting. Thankfully, it didn't.

Mind over matter my ass.

[QUOTE=DeEz;49702418]Oh wow that's a lot of documentation. Gonna have to dig into this proper when I am finished with the game.[/QUOTE] They're actually 90% useless.
[QUOTE=PotatoArmada;49703409]Performance is shit for everyone. Hopefully they'll be working on it or a driver will come out that magically fixes everything.[/QUOTE] The performance is alright for me as along I keep the AA fully disabled. The only performance issue I couldn't solve so far is every first time you enter the game menu. Aside that, I encounter redscreen errors all of the time - obscuring the view. It is annoying.
Speaking of modding, how hard are sound mods? Maybe one day I will make a Combine Soldier voice pack for Advent Soldiers. But that depends entirely on if they even have specific calls for everything, or if all their vocalizations are just sounds played randomly for any event.
