Xcom 2 Gotcha Again Options Not Showing

1.) A Better ADVENT: War of the Chosen

Part of a collection of mods that overhaul major aspects of the game, A Better Appearance (ABA) is a mod primarily concerned with calculation an actress claiming to the game past introducing increased enemy variety as well as improved AI and improved enemy types. The other 2 mods related are A Meliorate Billet and A Ameliorate Entrada. For the sake of brevity, I will only speak on A Amend ADVENT then that you lot can become a grasp of what the mods by creator DerBK accept to offer and decide if you would like to check those out too.

The enemy diverseness here introduces improved Lost with dissimilar abilities, suped-upwards Mutons, and Vipers, renegade Skirmishers, likewise every bit units known equally Primes that function somewhat similarly to Rulers. Overall this is aimed at creating a much more hard late-game for the player where XCOM2 tends to snowball if you lot have managed to not suffer significant loss upwards until that bespeak. New units volition oft have back up abilities for their allies which tend to create more tactical gameplay.

Highlights:

• New and Unique Enemies
• Improved AI and Enemy Strategies/Abilities
• Greater Enemy Diversity
• Improved Late Game Experience

2.) Augmentations

Similar to Mutations that existed in Firaxis' first XCOM game, Augmentations allows you to have your soldiers and supe them up with mechanical parts to give them an extra edge against their enemies. This besides provided new wound mechanics across the entirety of the game with a adventure for soldiers that are Gravely Wounded to require an augmentation replacement before they tin can return to the field. Like Mutations, augmentations provide the soldier with diverse bonuses such as the power to bound onto levels in terrain without the use of a ladder or provide the soldier with a stunning dial ability amid other Deux Ex Machina-esque improvements.

Highlights:

• Introduced Special Soldier Modding Abilities
• Introduces New Factor Into The Wound System
• Sick Cybernetic Warriors!

3.) [WotC] Ballistic Shields

Ballistic Shields adds a new secondary particular that provides soldiers with a significant defence force boost against oncoming harm and allows that soldier to serve every bit a tank option, something that can show invaluable where tank options are limited otherwise. There are three tiers to the shield which you will be able to upgrade similarly to the other options available to the Commander on the Avenger. Players will also find that they accept new abilities to separate these new shield-wielding soldiers and help them be a nuisance to enemy forces on the battleground.

Highlights:

• Tank-like Functionality For Any With The Equipment
• New Abilities
• Early Options For Dealing With Peculiarly Painful Enemies

4.) [WotC] Civilians Revamped

This is a simple quality of life (QoL) mod that I think is well worth the mention. If you lot're like me, you are frustrated with how civilians seem to be encephalon dead while nether assail from ADVENT and alien forces, this modernistic makes it so that all civilians (friendly, hostile, and even subconscious Faceless) respond to combat happening around them. Instead of continuing in one spot gawking similar morons, the civilians volition attempt to move to cover and flee. This greatly increased their survivability instead of slapping the responsibility entirely on XCOM. The mod increases some of the stats of civilians to give them a better hazard at not being nuked past Appearance on sight.

I find Civilians Revamped most helpful during Retaliation Missions, where you might exist coaxed into recklessly pushing your soldiers frontward to accept a adventure at rescuing any civilians in the area. Something that comes in handy later in the game as enemies get much much more than devastating.

Highlights:

• No More "Deer In The Headlights" Civilians
• Civilian Stats Slightly Increased
• Disguised Faceless Tin Potentially Be Attacked By Advent

5.) [WotC] Cistron Mods

Another mod for those familiar with the mechanics and upgrades from the first XCOM game, Gene Mods reimagines and implements that concept and brings it to XCOM 2. In the second game, gene mods were replaced by Personal Combat Sims (PCSs) which tin can be applied to soldiers for bonuses only pales in comparing to loading up your soldier with superhuman abilities such every bit Viper Reflex to greatly increment a soldier's dodge rate or Beserker Genes causing a soldier to automatically attack enemies in a rage when taking damage. These mods tin can be applied in the Hospital and whatsoever soldier is available to undergo them.

Highlights:

• Some mods from the original game, some new ones created from scratch
• Open up Source Allowing For Others To Add Custom Mods

half-dozen.) [WotC] Gotcha Again

Based on the original mod, Gotcha (Flank Preview Evolved), Gotcha Over again focuses on adding a variety of tactical icons to the gameplay while controlling your troops. This equally a whole allows for greater tactical awareness where it could exist sometimes lacking or confusing in the base game. No more will yous have to guess whether or non an enemy's overwatch has plenty line of sight to be activated by your sniper. No longer volition you have to gauge whether your soldier has LOS on a hacking point to hack from afar. All types of new icons have been added for convenience including simply non limited to squad sight indicators, flanking indicators, and devastation indicators.

Highlights:

• Tactical Icons For All Manner of Strategizing

7.) [WotC] Grimy's Boodle Modernistic

Grimy's Loot Mod is an interesting one that introduces a random loot mechanic to the game that rewards the role player with loot boxes after completed missions. These boxes are hulled away to the Laboratory where they must be researched to unlock them. The unlocking process is relatively short simply if you are familiar with the game y'all know that this fourth dimension in the early-game can be precious. In one case researched, the box will be opened and provide you with whatever variety of weapons or armor sporting randomized upgrades that provide all manner of bonuses much like how you would run into item drops in Diablo or Borderlands.

This can do a lot to skew the game's difficulty either by providing the player with insanely powerful equipment early on, or at any point actually, or past causing the histrion to waste time but receive very little in return.

Highlights:

• Random Lootboxes With Randomized Gear
• Hundreds Of Potential Upgrades
• Focuses On Weapons

8.) [WotC] I'thousand the Commander here

XCOM two introduced being able to train your soldiers with third abilities as they progress, but the headache comes in that those abilities are randomly rolled for the soldier as shortly equally the Training Center becomes available. What happens then is that you will often take selections for abilities that are virtually useless for the course that rolled them. I'm the Commander here eliminates that randomness and frustration by assuasive players to cull what Training Center ability that their soldier will get when that soldier is eligible.

Highlight:

• Take Full Control Of Your Soldiers Training
• Min-max To Your Heart'due south Content

9.) Iridar'south Autopistol Overhaul

In the base of operations game, Autopistols were the Templars version of the pistol which worked just the same every bit the Sharpshooters pistol with petty difference in stats. Autopistols Overhaul alters the autopistol stats and allows them to be equipped by other classes to take advantage of these altered stats. This weapon now does a bit more damage and has increased range bonuses from closer rangers. These weapons now have a high crit chance and seem more than reasonable as secondaries available to most classes (depending on your mod choices). Virtually importantly, the mod adds weapon upgrade support to the autopistols further increasing their viability where they have simply connected to the Templar and frankly not a great weapon for them in the first place.

Highlights:

• Improved Autopistols
• Altered Stats
• Weapon Upgrade Support Added For Weapon
• Weapon Available To Whatsoever Able To Wield Pistols

10.) Long War 2

Easily the largest and most intricate mod that existed for XCOM two, Long War 2 completely overhauls the XCOM feel by profoundly extending the campaign of the game to incorporate more conflicts, greater management opportunities, improved tactical depth, and much more. There is and so much to talk about hither that I can hardly do it justice but among calculation new enemies, missions, and functions for several XCOM facilities, this mod adds new classes, weapons, items, abilities, upgrades, and more.

I of the major changes in the gameplay is that whereas in the base game the actor is only ever technically overseeing ane functioning/mission at a time, in Long State of war 2 the histrion is allowed to transport several squads on various missions. Teams are deployed from the Avenger and are tasked with infiltrating a hostile site which takes some fourth dimension before the actor is taken into the familiar XCOM gameplay to control their team. This mod as well places more than command in the player'south easily regarding Resistance forces allowing them to exist managed and brash on tactical situations.

Notoriously, fans of Long War 2 have been dying for it to get an update that allows it to work with the War of The Chosen DLC. Due to the number of changes the DLC brings to the game, a concerted effort has been made to bring this dream to reality. Y'all can bank check out their progress here.

Highlights:

• Completely Game-Changing Overhaul
• Brand New Enemies/Items/Missions/Abilities and More
• Increased Entrada Length With New Challenges

11.) Long War Conflicting Pack

In correlation with Long War 2's goal of ramping upwardly the difficulty and diversity of XCOM two, Long War Conflicting Pack introduces a large assortment of new alien enemies for the player to encounter and pit their skills confronting. Variations of enemy types and classes that yous may be familiar with, this game expands upon those ofttimes daunting enemies and pushes their devastating abilities even further. From Appearance to the aliens themselves, players volition exist faced with greater opposition such as the immensely destructive ADVENT Rocketeer or the extremely nimble skirmisher known as the Sidewinder.

Highlights:

• Increased Enemy Puddle
• New Variations To Familiar Enemy Types
• New Abilities for Enemies

12.) Long War Leader Pack

If you have ever thought of any of your XCOM soldiers as squad leaders rather than the unabridged squad comprised of variable lone wolves then this mod is for you. Long War Leader Packs adds to the game a development path available to any soldier of appropriate rank which allows them to be trained as squad leaders and attain perks that benefit the entire team. These bonuses range from a 20% bonus to crit for soldiers near the leader, to +ane damage bonuses to all allies within range of the leader. Leader skills are trained at the Guerilla Training School and a leader tin can go through training multiple times to gain more perks up to five bonuses.

Something to exist aware of is that but one leader tin can continue a mission at a time significant you should be mindful of who you promote with this skill or else risk splitting soldiers you would rather accept teamed together.

This mod also comes with a WoTC variation and then look out for that.

Highlights:

• New Perks
• Extra feature for Guerilla Preparation School

thirteen.) [WotC] LW2 Classes and Perks

Another one that comes to u.s. while we await the completion of the Long War of the Chosen modernistic, LW2 Classes and Perks works to implement what shall exist and alters the classes and perks of the DLC to reflect that which would take been in Long State of war two. I prefer the classes and their depth added past Long War 2 and then this is a must for me. The basics are that the mod replaces the base classes and provides eight new classes that are a combination of the base classes and a handful of unique mechanics and gear that make them much more specialized units. The overall feel is that your squad relies on each other more than oftentimes to fill critical roles. That said, this is not a perfect conversion of what you would have institute in Long War 2 equally some things such as Officer abilities and changes to the faction classes take been left out.

As a side notation: the mod allows you lot to configure and tweak many of the abilities to your liking to get whatever upshot yous want out of it.

Highlights:

• Introducing Long War 2 Classes to WotC
• Customizable Abilities through ini file.
• Adds Some New Abilities Entirely

xiv.) [WotC] LW2 Secondary Weapons 2

In keeping with bringing Long State of war's features to War of the Chosen, Secondary Weapons two introduces increased accessibility to classes regarding secondary weapons such every bit the sawed-off shotgun and the combat knife. Whereas the base of operations game just provides five secondary weapons including swords, GREMLINs, pistols, grenade launchers, and PSI amps, this mod reintroduces some weapons like the Arc Thrower and provides every class with a specific secondary weapon unique to their abilities. An added aspect is that many weapons take been given altered stats and in some cases have had their tech tier increased making them more viable at all levels of play.

Highlights:

• Expanded Weapons For Classes
• Altered Weapon Stat Tables
• New Weapons And Some Returning

xv.) [WotC] Mod Everything Reloaded

Traditionally in the game, the merely item that tin be upgraded with mods would be principal weapons, Modernistic Everything Reloaded says pshaw to that and allows everything from secondary weapons to utility items to accept weapons mods added to them which vastly alters the corporeality of customizability available to soldiers. While it does non add whatsoever new mods to the game itself, it serves as a base for other mods to add unique mods and it even comes with the added benefit of existence able to increase or decrease the number of mod slots available to a weapon.

Highlights:

• Complete Customization of Mod Slots
• Change Number of Mods Slots Bachelor

16.) LW2 Utility Plating

Because the difficult-hitting nature that tin ofttimes be nowadays within XCOM 2, it becomes invaluable to mitigate damage as much as possible and it does wonders for keeping your soldiers not only live but to give them a much greater hazard of taking damage without being significantly wounded. Utility Plating adds items available to XCOM 2 to add together to soldier'south loadout to add ablative (shield) HP which is substantially a one-time damage buffer for the soldier in question. Every bit y'all progress through the game the role player volition be able to pump research into upgrading this armor to give greater bonuses. Players can also become in and change the setting of the mod to increment or decrease this bonus.

Highlights:

• More than Durable Troops
• Armor Slots Available To All Troops
• Ablative HP Does Not Lead To Wounds Allowing Easier Splendid and Flawless Mission Completion

17.) Musashis RPG Overhaul

Another expansive overhaul of the game'due south classes and features. The base of operations game's course system has been removed in favor of a single class that can be developed into various specializations past choosing abilities from whatsoever bachelor specialization. This essentially allows players to multi-form their soldiers to reach combinations such as snipers equipped with stealth abilities and a sword or specialists with grenade launchers. Furthermore, weapons and attachments have been altered as well for unique and more focused roles. Truthful to its name, the mod besides adds RPG elements such every bit randomly generated stats and the power to railroad train stats.

Musashis RPG Overhaul has spawned a slew of boosted mods that can be added to bring in new specializations and abilities making this modern extremely customizable.

Highlights:

• Massive Customization
• Complete Overhaul of Classes and Abilities
• Removes and Replaces Base Game Class System

xviii.) No Rank Up Throttling

A rather abrasive aspect of the original game was that soldiers could just rank upward once per mission no matter how effective they were. One soldier could take out fifteen enemy units and exist restricted to merely achieving one rank upwards in that mission in spite of their stellar performance. No Rank Upwards Throttling removes this entirely so that your budding soldiers tin rapidly achieve greatness (a real lifesaver if you happen to lose a high-ranked soldier and need a replacement quicker than waiting upward of seven missions.)

A stellar mod to be sure, but apparently, it has some bug when attempting to apply it with other mods such as Long War two or RPG Overhaul. Reportedly, the mod works fine with the WotC DLC.

Highlights:

• Unshackled Rank Potential

19.) Psionics Overhaul V3

In XCOM two at that place were major changes made to the Psionics course, wherein in XCOM i whatsoever soldier with psionic potential could be trained in guild to harness their abilities; in XCOM 2 this was changed and then that soldiers must exist trained to be Psionic Operatives as rookies. Psionics Overhaul aims to return the original XCOM one mechanics as authentically as possible so that any soldier could potentially take psionic abilities bachelor to them after the Psi lab is unlocked on the Avenger. Furthermore, this allows for psions to level up regularly alongside existence able to exist trained with their psionic powers. This is a great boon because it makes information technology so that psionics are a supplementary tree along with your soldier's general class abilities and strengths.

Highlights:

• Return to XCOM 1 Psions Mechanics
• Making Psions Out of Previously Ranked Soldiers Grants Much Improved Survivability
• No Long Waiting A Month For A Psionic Operative To Be Viable On The Field

twenty.) [WotC] robojumper'due south Squad Select

Squad Selection allows the player access to larger squad sizes much quicker in the game. The high customizability of this modern allows players to alter team sizes to crazy limits only equally nine and above with some other mod support added in. Traditionally, XCOM volition only take access to squads of four until unlocking the GTS and allowing them to ship squads of v and and then half-dozen. Robojumper's Squad Select adds support for these increased squad limits with changes to the UI and assuasive players to drag and drop soldiers quickly from one menu to the adjacent. Furthermore, the squad selection menu will provide more information virtually the soldiers including specifics almost their equipment.

It should be noted when increasing the squad size information technology is common for the modernistic to botch the spawn points of the squad and this requires another modern to ready this minor issue.

Highlights:

• Greater Team Size Ranging From Vanilla To Nine
• Improved UI

21.) Unproblematic True Darkening

Mission timers can show to be a great pain every bit they oftentimes forcefulness you to make poor choices or merely crusade you to blitz alee on the field to try and vanquish out expiration timers on items/objectives. Simple True Darkening takes previous functionality available through the Infiltrate Resistance Order and provides the benefit from the showtime of gameplay. Now you soldiers will ever enter a mission in concealment and mission timers will non brainstorm to tick away until you take cleaved concealment. Moreover, this mod alters mission timers to provide more length on many of them which were irritatingly quick more often than not.

Highlights:

• Tactical Choices Reflected Past A Stealth Approach
• Improved/Altered Mission Timers

22.) [WotC] Soldier Development

If you have always idea that soldiers' skills should increase along with their combat experience then this mod is for you. Soldier Development adds the chance for soldiers to increase their stats such as hack, or aim, through the deportment they have on a mission. Forth with Hack, Aim, and Mobility, it is likewise possible to increment soldiers Ability Points, Will, and Gainsay Intelligence when missions are successfully completed at a rate of Excellent and Flawless. These increases can be tweaked to the player's preferences and so that harder shots can provide greater or smaller bonuses depending on the difficulty of the shot. Overall, this adds to the progression and further increases a soldier'southward continued excellence and relevance every bit the game progresses.

Highlights:

• Improved Progression
• Semi-random Stat Increases Based on Performance

23.) [WotC] Stealth Overhaul

Stealth Overhaul adds mechanics to the game to provide the entire squad a like concealment function equally shown by the Reapers. At the start of every mission, each soldier has a darkening percentage and their actions accept a chance to pause concealments but similar the Reapers. Notable changes would be that other soldiers do non share in the Reaper's extremely reduced retention range linked to their shadow concealment ability. Likewise, it is worth noting that all but the Reaper still become concealed simultaneously when one of them fails and actions or does something similar that would regularly reveal the squad.

Highlights:

• Total Support For Squad Reaper-like Stealth
• Works Well With Other Stealth Abilities

24.) [WotC] Utilise My Form

Such a simple modern seems like it should have been something included in the game in the start place. Utilise My Class fixes the issue with players spending a load of time customizing their Character Pool only to have the game completely ignore the course selections one may have had. In the base of operations game, when characters load from the pool they have their course randomized just like randomly generated soldiers. If you are a large customizer similar myself and feel that my created soldiers are linked to a certain class past pattern, then this mod is a must. This modernistic fifty-fifty works on Psi Operatives though the class will exist officially locked until the Psi Lab becomes available meaning these operatives volition remain Rookies until they are assigned to train.

Highlights:

• Cull Classes For Character Pool
• Soldiers Always Spawn Equally Their Chosen Course
• Works On Classes Added By Mods

25.) Earth Expansion Project: ADVENT

Something that will stand out to long time players of XCOM 2, the World Expansion Project adds several parcels (similar houses and large map pieces/structures) and PCPs (connects between parcels like dirt roads, rivers, and then on) to the random map generator to create more varied maps. Afterward putting in hundreds of hours, it becomes quite obvious about the echo nature of the maps and this mod helps a lot with bringing diversity. There are planned expansions for the mod to cover more than only Advent areas and items. Though the project has non been worked on in some time, it appears to office correctly with WotC and its base works well for other mods that aim to practise something similar for maps.

Highlights:

• Works With Other Mods That Add together To Map Generation
• Adds Map Multifariousness To Map Gen In-Game
