Gods help me, XCOM: Enemy Unknown was on sale so I sprang for it. There goes my weekend.
This is my first XCOM game ever. Any basic tips, nerds?
@hystericempress thank yooooooou sis! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 you're one of the best tactical advisors i could ask for
@zebratron2084 Despite any and all desires to, you're not supposed to root for the aliens.
The shiv does not learn does not feel and will sacrifice itself to save you.
The support class is the best all arounder.
Have more people than you think you will need
Try to avoid having only rookies on missions.
They system buffs enemies if you research weapons and armor so be ready to build it as soon as you've researched
Heavies cannot hit the broad side of the barn for large parts of the game.
Build the gotlieb device. Gain psychic powers. Destroy enemies with the mind war.
Beware of crysalids, if they kill they multiply
Also snipers get broke as hell once you have squad sight.
Forgot to ask do you have the base game or the dlc with playable mutants and cyborgs?
Because if you have the dlc my advice is cyborgs. Lots and lots of cyborgs.
Always be cyborging.
@xinjinmeng @001zlnv I was supposed to hear that as a line from Glengarrry Glen Ross 2060, correct? ^__^
Clearly! But also they can just cast fist on aliens.
@zebratron2084 @xinjinmeng @001zlnv PUT THAT NUTRIENT SLURRY DOWN!
... Nutrient slurry's for deckers.
@Phorm @zebratron2084 @xinjinmeng
MEAT LIMBS ARE FOR CLOSERS!
@001zlnv whole shebang, was on sale n.n
In that case. Cyborg! Trust Shen! But keep some normals around to farm for psychers.
Oh also beware exalt!
@zebratron2084 poke me on Telegram. I have been playing this game for 5 years and I know it well and I have so many tips for you
@kelseyhusky i think I am REAL likely to do that over the weekend, thank you huskybot!
@zebratron2084 OH MY YES. Let me hit you up in DMs, I was and still am OBSESSED with this game to the degree I've been trying Iron Man runs.
