Re: Advent officer autopsy bug.

One question.... i haven't rendered the Officer, but is getting an officer always a outcome, or do I not have one because I blew his red ass up with grenade or fire or a missle, etc etc... i don't wanna cheat unless it's due to a bug.

Re: overhaul.ini went back to default

1. Back up the original uneditted XComLW_Overhaul.ini 2. Edit XComLW_Overhaul.ini 3. Back up the the editted XComLW_Overhaul.ini elsewhere so you can recreate the changes. 4. Use the Alternate Mod Launcher which will tell you a mod has updated. 5. When LW2 updates, use a diff program (like WinMerge...

Re: boosting infiltration

Actually there's no reason to do it at the beginning either. It's 100% retroactive, so there's no difference between boosting at the beginning and boosting at the end. The final result is exactly the same no matter when you hit the boost button. So it actually makes the most sense to NEVER boost un...

boosting infiltration

sheeeeesh, am i the only guy who thought you had to "boost" whatever your current infiltration was to get the most out of it? like it multiplied however much you'd infiltrated by .75 and added that to it... so I would wait and try and figure out just the right amount instead of just boosti...

Re: Advice

Well, they are activated on game basis, so you could probably install the DLC afterwards and then research/ build the items and Sparks. I would still advice to just make your decision at the start and just go with it. Yeah, i've had such good luck with this start that I'll just have to do without S...

Re: Advice

You only get the choice at the beginning of a campaign - do you want the story missions or not. There might be a way to trigger the missions using the Dev Console during a campaign, but I will personally not risk it. LOL.. no, i don't want the missions, but i would like to be able to build a spark ...

Re: Advice

So, if you have the DLC installed (Steam boxes checked) but the in-game boxes unchecked, you will still have the Sparks available after you do the specific Proving Ground project. I hope that that made sense. It did.. now the big question: can i just check that box later on down line, or do you hav...

Re: New Start -- Bolt Caster Available

To clarify: the way XCOM 2 is set up, you will always see DLC content if you have the DLC installed on your computer. The little DLC checkboxes on your Steam Library page for the game are what tell you if you have the DLC installed. The checkboxes IN the game only control whether you see the DLC co...

Re: New Start -- Bolt Caster Available

The button only controls the mission content. If you want to disable it altogether, you need to uninstall. I should probably warn you that the rulers are gonna just randomly show up later on. Yikes!

Hey folks, I am pretty sure I didn't click on the Hunters add on at the beginning of my new game start (nor did i click on Shen's Last Gift) but the Bolt Caster , Frost Bomb, Hunter's Axe and Shadowkeeper were available to build the first time I went to my Build Items list. This may be due to one of...

My suggested core mods. I always use these mods, and often add another 50 or so Maps, Voice Packs, Enemies, or Customizations.

Additional Icons

1. what mods do y'all use


I want to re-add

peek from conceal
remove all items
gotcha again


any others?



also, thanks for the advice on the base build Jacke, but that does involve a mod to put the power coils in a certain place, right?
