Getting the missions spotted early is the key and that is directly down to how many rebels in the territory you have on “Intel”.įor every tick of time that passes, you get a chance to find each mission that is in a region for each rebel on the Intel task. Conversely, if you infiltrate for longer you’ll get weaker aliens and an easier mission. The quoted strength of Advent for that mission assumes you get infiltration to 100% if you don’t, the strength will go up sharply.
This represents the team getting into position covertly before the strike. When you discover a mission you need to send a team to infiltrate it. You need manage the rebels working in each region to best advance your strategy, expand to new regions, destroy key facilities, liberate areas and eventually deal the aliens a knock-out punch. This is one of the coolest things about LW2 you really feel like the aliens have their own agenda which you can (try to) disrupt during the course of the game. So remember, you can’t win every mission. If you sat there and passed time, all these things would happily go on under the hood until you eventually lost the game and got carted away to be turned into Advent burger. The important thing to remember is that Advent are running their campaign irrespective of what the player does missions are being generated throughout the world, troops are being moved around and the Avatar project is being researched.
This where the meat of the changes occur, with the infiltration mechanics especially being a key to getting winnable missions. So here’s a dump of all my hard-won experience it might help you survive a few months longer…. There were loads of things I’d wish I’d known before I started that would either have made it easier or made some of the choices I was making clearer. Lots of failure and knuckle-biting near misses meant it’s taken me a while to win a campaign.
All that experience didn’t make winning at Long War 2 (a semi-official full-conversion mod for the game) any easier though.
I love XCOM 2 and have got pretty good at it over the years.
