Holy shit, I was able to put Reaper on my Templar, and gave her +2 movement from covert missions. She's a fucking beaaaaast.

Just beat the Assassin with mag weapons, and boy, did some of my mods really come in handy. First, my 2x Ability Points mod allowed me to get some ideal abilities on some of my soldiers (Tactical Rigging for Dragunova, Ever Vigilant on my Specialist, Sharpshooter, and Grenadier), and Loot Pinatas let me outfit Mox's gun with a Superior Expanded Mag and Dragunova with an Advanced Stock. Second, putting Suppression on all sorts of guns helped mitigate a few of the adds in the Sarcophagus room proper, since there were more than a few times when enemies would be in that shitty "stupid low chance to kill, but overwatch isn't reliable" zone.
Probably my favorite moment of the mission was Dragunova remote starting some fuel tank in a hangar and killing a pair of Vipers and a pair of Chrysallids, plus damaging an Andromedon. The most frustrating things about the mission were not being able to use Banish on the Sarcophagus and the absurd amount of time it took to get a soldier close enough to the Sarcophagus to trigger Squad Sight.
That said, thank God I was running the No Fatigue mod for the mission, because there's a Council mission right after beating the Assassin.

OK, 20% chance to execute is crazy. I put my guardian specialist on overwatch everytime the Chosen respawn, and she procced execute 3 out of 4 times.

I personally prefer the Better Repeater mod, which changes that to extra crit damage. It's less absurd.

Hoo boy, just finished my Beta Strike (2x HP) campaign and the last mission was appropriately epic and ridiculous. Made it out by the very skin of my teeth, nearly all my squad dead, and no one above 10 hp. One more turn and it would have been a complete wipe, hell just 2 more damage and I would have lost given how the last turns went. I also chose not to play with repeaters, mindshields, or lvl 2 melee weapons because they all felt gameplay breaking in different ways, so that accounts for a good portion of the difficulty. If I was going to do it over again I might use mindshields on the last mission if I didn't have bonded soldiers but otherwise I felt those restrictions were absolutely necessary for the regular campaign missions to have the intended difficulty.
Spoiler tags in case people don't want to know about any last mission mechanics:
Victory was ours, but at the cost of every soldier save one. ;_;7
Spoiler tags in case people don't want to know about any last mission mechanics:
I had forgotten how quickly the waves of enemies kept spawning so I was not at all anticipating how difficult it would be with beta strike on. I realized pretty fast that trying to keep any sort of pace was hopeless and changed tactics to bursting the avatars down. Unfortunately some spawns of Advent Priests and Spectres completely threw that plan for a loop as they basically ensured half my squad started turns in mind control, stasis, or shadow bound. It was basically a complete cluster-fuck for the whole mission but somehow I managed to keep everyone alive way longer than I expected and slowly chipping the avatars down.
In the second to last turn I only had my psi-ops soldier and the commander avatar available for actions. I had two Avatar's left to kill, one with a little under 20hp and the other with I think 28 hp. The psi-operative had just come out of his 1-HP prevent-death stasis and was surrounded by chrysallids. Thankfully he was in range to soulfire and kill a Spectre which freed my shadowbound specialist, who was then within range to skull-jack the Advent Priest mind controlling my pistol-whipping sharpshooter who was in range of both avatars.
I used the sharpshooter's free pistol abilities to hit each avatar once and luckily the low hp one teleported within range for my gunslinger to use triple-tap for the kill. To try to kill the last one I had the commander avatar mind control a viper which had bound my second specialist with only 2HP left. Thankfully I had a revival protocol left which got my previously incapacitated ranger back in the fight. Unfortunately they were too far to attack the avatar so I had them try to hole up close to the middle of the map in hopes I could run and gun the next turn to burst them down with deadshot.
On the aliens turn they quickly slaughtered everyone, leaving only my ranger and the commander avatar alive with 8 and 10 health respectively. Amazingly, the aliens also left my mind-controlled viper untouched which proved to be their undoing. Because while the remaining avatar would have been too far away and tucked behind cover to kill, they were just close enough for my viper to have a 65% shot at yanking them in. With RNG in my favor, my viper pulled the last avatar into range and bound them up, giving my ranger the perfect opportunity to score a run-and-gun deadshot flanking critical strike.

When you guys use the Reaper skill Banish, does it only show the first two shots and then skip over the rest, or is it only doing that on my game because I'm using the stop wasting my time mods?
Its a common bug for everyone I thought
I've seen all of them fire once or twice, but I have also seen it bug out like crazy. When I fought the Warlock he had the ability that makes him move when he takes damage and his character model turned into some terrifying noodle man after the first hit. I've also seen the damage number/miss message appear before the shot animation fires off.
Weapon upgrade card/continent bonus, plus repeater, plus increased mag=Reaper has a kill button with banish for any enemy you want to see go bye bye. I'll take any cheese the game gives me.
Rentahamster
Rodent Whores
Thanks, yeah, it turns out the game just bugs out when too much shit is going on.
I just cheesed two of the alien leaders with that tactic. The first time, I setup an overwatch trap with 4 specialists with threat assesment/guardian, and repeater rifles. lol.
The second time, I put superior mags, and a superior repeater on the reaper rifle, and used banish. looooooool

For some reason, one of my snipers can move and shoot his rifle on the same turn. Is that a property of the snake armor? I'm not sure how he does that.
I believe it's because you use the Sniper Chosen's weapon.
By the way I said earlier I was trying to ironman in commander difficulty and I meant legend. I had a good walkthrough last night, but made some bad decisions and stupid mistakes only to lose many good units... I believe I'll use this experience for another run. This is pretty addictive once you want to take on the challenge.

Are you using mods? The Halo Weapons Medley and Titanfall Weapons packs have sniper variants that only take 1 action to fire.
Rentahamster
Rodent Whores
Not those mods. I only use ones that speed up the game (stop wasting my time, faster avenger, etc, )
See my above post
I noticed that on my snipers too, the only common factor was the Chosen weapon they had equipped.

Is there a particular reason that Reapers/Skirmishers/Templars can't go on the combat intelligence improvement missions? That seems dumb.

One thing that I haven't mentioned is that I'm very very thankful for the improved load times. That shit in vanilla XCOM 2 was ridiculous, including the "press capslock" fix.

I waited a month for this stupid patch and they still didn't fix the bug where controller dpad input occasionally skips over menu options. I can replicate it 100% of the time and it sounded like many others were familiar with the issue. How do you even report this to Firaxis? I couldn't find an official bug report feature.

I thought about asking whether a patch was coming just a few days ago, nice to see it was worth the wait.
Kinda weird how they title it as a fall update, though. Necessary patches shouldn't be considered quarterly updates, as though this was some sort of GaaS game.

I'm not sure if I like the Ionic Ripjack nerf. Skirmishers seem on the weak side to begin with, especially with Battlelord not working properly. Or am I just not using them correctly?
Just as I was about to start XCOM 2 proper, too .
Would anyone recommend most have mods for WotC that aren't changing too much? I figure I'd likely not go deep on the "expand the game in h u g e ways" until Long War 2 is brought over.
I was considering to just go with the "Start Here" selection from WotC from this Google Doc. Anybody know if they have conflicts with the game? Prior to this patch, I mean.

I think the Challenge Mode is why it's got the weird name. They'll probably update it periodically over the next year or so, since it's the closest they've got to GaaS.

Grimy's Loot mod actually adds Loot Boxes. They're actually pretty cool, usually gives you a weapon with built in attachments and even a special name, colour and even design if you have some weapon mods installed.
I prefer it to just installing weapon mods actually.
