XCOM 2 Tips and Tricks

How To Customize Your Soldiers?

Join XCOM veteran Fred ‘Damage Dealer’ Dinenage aboard The Avenger, as he imparts his battle-hardened knowledge upon future XCOM recruits in training.

How To Strike From The Shadows?

In this XCOM 2 broadcast, Fred ‘Damage Dealer’ Dinenage trains recruits on ‘How To’ strike from the shadows, use concealment to advantage and implement the Overwatch tactic for maximum impact!

Tip: Obviously shooting breaks your concealment entirely and means you can no longer sneak past enemies. – So stick to the concealing blue moves, and be aware that if you start dashing that will make more noise, enough noise that nearby enemies can detect and find you with.

How To Lead the Avenger?

Next, Fred trains recruits on ‘How To’ use The Avenger to gain a significant tactical advantage over the enemy and offers insight on how to make the most of your time aboard the XCOM vessel!

How To Command The New Breed Of Soldier?

Mr. Dinenage walks you through ‘HOW’ to command the new breed of soldier within XCOM 2 and what new technology and tactics your squad has gained!

Tip: All Soldiers get a small amount of XP for going on a mission, but the majority of XP still comes from kills. This will ensure Rookies can become Squaddies and get a class. – To level up your Soldiers faster, be aware that you only get enough XP to get a promotion for a Soldier to go up one rank, so it’s recommended after the game says a Solider has “promotion earned”, try to get other Soldiers to make kill shots to get the subsequent XP.
