I was somehow perfect throughout the entire mission until the second to last turn. I ran back one of my last remaining troops behind a tree in full cover. A stun lancer who reinforced on the opposite side of the map got a lucky shot through full cover and gravely wounded her. At least it wasn't a crit... | ||

Earlygame, swords are intended to be run and gun before you hit lieutenant. Sometimes you have an especially annoying enemy in high cover. That's when slash starts to look a lot more attractive. It still carries a fair amount of risk because of potential activations, but it definitely has its niche. In the midgame, shotguns are better general use weapons. If run and gun comes into play, it seems like there's no real incentive to use the sword. Damage-wise, the sword really suffers because of lack of mods. In the endgame, the sword needs to be built around reaper and possibly untouchable to be relevant. It plays the same role as a sniper with serial - cleanup.

I got my specialist to captain before my gunslinger, who had like 10 more kills, because my spec kills normally 2 and sometimes 3 per mission with combat protocol. Would like to know how it works out, but checking the ini everything gives 10xp. Makes sense. It wouldn't be good for balance if you could endlessly farm advent reinforcement drops, after all. | ||

The game doesn't let you mess around and not do main missions like Xcom EU did. I thought the same happened to me, but then I got a site with -4 reduction on the countdown. Can't imagine losing now, despite doing whatever I wanted until the 20 days started to count down. | ||

The game doesn't let you mess around and not do main missions like Xcom EU did. I think that the Blacksite mission can only happen once. However the aliens can construct multiple facilities that you can raid. Destroying facilities pushes back the Avatar progress Also I read some article by Beaglerush where he mentioned that once you fill up your Avatar meter progress and are now into the timer, doing anything that would reduce the progress of the meter resets the timer instead. | ||

 oh reddit tells me holding control while moving your troops lets you setup waypoints so you don't path through dumb areas! TIL. | ||

You don't have to do them asap, a base contributes progress but when it is destroyed the entire progress from that facility is removed (you can see little red squares under the base) The biggest thing imo is to make sure you can access the base when you need it (region unlocked) and then you can leave it around for a while, once your bar starts getting a little high you clean up the base and repeat the process. Several story missions also reduce progress so do some of those to further reduce the bar when needed. Letting the bar actually fill puts you on a way way shorter timer to get things done then just controlling it. | ||

The campaign of Xcom enemy unknown is worth it story wise and does it have fun and challenging gameplay? | ||
