@@k0opler153 Obviously he is cheating. You are fool if you believe this video is legit. Almost every enemy attack is missing 😂 And didn't miss a single shot.
@@indiankid8601 To provide a little fun fact: the only way to avoid cheating is to play on Legend difficulty because the game itself cheats in your favor on every other difficulty. Among the things the game does is increase your hit chance when you have less than four soldiers on the field, and decrease the enemy's hit chance under that same condition with all of that being invisible, and the enemies get more debuffed and you get more buffed the less soldiers you have, so if you have one soldier the game believes you're in an extremely terrible position and needs to take it easy on you and thus it helps you. The game actively deceives you on everything except Legendary, but does so by favoring you. As seen at the beginning, the run is played on Veteran difficulty, in which those buffs and debuffs are applied, as well as the enemy's accuracy getting worse when you're hit, your accuracy getting multiplied by 1.1, your accuracy getting improved if you miss a shot above 50%, etc. Essentially, yes, there is cheating, but by the game because it sees there's one soldier on the field and so tips the scales to be more in favor of the player.
@@indiankid8601 He repeatedly stated he could retry all missions from the start (and admitted the assassin fortress took him 7 tries). Obviously, he didnt include the failed attempts.
I didn't expect to enjoy an hour long challenge video about XCOM 2, but watching this has made me literally turn on my computer and purchase XCOM 2 because of how much I enjoyed your video. Keep making quality content
8:50 pretty sure the reason the mind control was resisted was because you only have that 1 unit. If it got mind controlled you'd auto-lose the mission. Nothing ever resists Warlock's mind control from my own experience.
In war of the chosen, the warlock has 40 psi strength and +75% base chance So for a soldier with 30 will remaining, it would be a 85% chance to mind control Same thing for advent priests but sectoids have 80 psi (unless playing on rookie) so they're a 100% hit
I lost a mission once because all my units died and the final one got mind controlled by a sectoid, instantly ending the mission. I don’t know if you get an extra hidden resistance to mind control if you only have one troop, though.
as someone with few rare achievements for Xcom2 WOTC and more then few hundreds hours of game play under my belt, I'm astonished and jealous of your skill, sure have to try this one on my own. Well played mate!
He is cheating. All enemy attacks are missing him and he didn't miss single attack. Hunter never misses track shot. You are a fool if you cannot see through.
@@indiankid8601 It's called editing, otherwise the video would be 91 hours long. He is allowing himself to repeat missions from the mission selection screen, as stated at 1:00. He gets hit plenty of times and misses a few times. You can improve aim by using scopes, getting a personal mod with +aim and doing covert ops to increase aim. And a very experienced player knows how and where to pull mobs to sail through the game. Finally, if he's playing on Rookie, it'll be easier too. It looks like he's playing on Veteran difficulty which still has a 10% bonus to aim and improved chance to hit after a miss.
@@donkeysunited see you say it's editing but anyone who doesn't cheat will put at least some points on where they died and had to restart the mission or anything that would cause that. Through the whole hour long video he doesn't restart a mission once even tho he says he does
I'm 15 minutes in and I already can't believe how many lucky misses you got lol. Not to deminish your achievement or anything, you absolutely need luck to pull off a run like this!
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla It wouldn't MEAN 99% if you didn't still miss those shots some of the time. I think one of the things about Xcom which really messes with people's heads is that it actually gave HIDDEN buffs to your aim after a miss on, I believe, the first two difficulty settings, and this actually re-enforces the gambler's fallacy, the idea that your odds of success go up after a failure... like the belief that a coin flip will be more likely to turn up heads if the last three flips came as tails. So, when people first start playing on the higher difficulty settings where there are no hidden buffs to your odds of success after you fail, they are prone to start thinking that the game is rigged against them.
This video is absolutely incredible. From start to finish, and the amount of work that's clearly went into it too is crazy! Thumbs up, subscribed and in awe =]
I played Chimera Squad first and had no idea the previous version of the game was so much more complex. Now I see your video I'm absolutely amazed that it's possible to win with 1 guy. I'm definitely struggling and I think it's because I'm trying to use too many different people at once, with too many different abilities, and I don't know how to use any of them very well. It's overwhelming but I love it. Your video has opened my eyes to a whole new world! Thank you!
Just keep trying, you got this! It definitely takes quite a bit of time to get used to all of the skills, but I would still recommend you try to keep a variety in your squads.
@@endersblade I can understand why they'd make a simpler version at least. The full XCOM I could see overwhelming most people. It's probably the one thing preventing it from being more popular. I don't think it should change necessarily but I think it would be worth their time to make components that helped teach a few effective strategies. It's super frustrating to play a game for a while and realize there is no way for you to win after not playing optimally.
Honestly, I find the XCOM content here to be among my favourite and I could watch anything made for the game, especially with you music choices, as they are what I use for my own projects
if there's anything good about xcom2, xcom1, fallout 3, and fallout new vegas runs its that we dont have to worry about that dastardly kellogg cornflakes stealing our precious potato
I was on the development team for XCOM 2, and I swear I never beat XCOM 2 before... and still trying. Yes, I know... I suck at games... Still glad that you like our game.
Well bloody done, Commander! That was insanely intense and a brilliant watch. Would love to see you do something like this in XCOM: Chimera Squad, if possible! Can't think of any specific challenge since I haven't played it in an age, but any excuse to see more XCOM goodness from you.
these videos are entertaining. the number of enemy misses sure is sus though.. I get them missing my guys every now and then, but damn, this run would have ended many times over if he didnt get 3+ low to no cover misses in a single mission multiple times lol.
Its actually due to a mechanic which if you take less soldiers the enemy get -10 aim penalty (on veteran difficulty) on commander difficulty though it doesn't carry over
If you colorcode your soldier you can just eyeball your class soldier without checking names. Yellow: sniper Blue: specialists Purple: genadiers Red: rangers This is my setup. Quality of life imo. Easy to have an eye of who is where.
@@InsaneFrame having a birdseye view of the battlefield without checking soldiers is easier. Also you can position your soldiers much easier with this. Purple middle for aggro or flanks for fire support. Yellow with 100+ aim with sniper support who never moves etc. Saves a lot of time.
You might remember my criticism from your last video. And, honestly? Night and day improvement. Already your commentary has vastly improved and I'm really excited to see what you can do in the years to come.
I wanna think of an intense fallout challenge. I know I haven't commented lately. I go to school today, its 1:30 AM. Maybe when I'm back! Glad to see more uploads, even if I don't know the game
When I watched your Xcom-2 run, the first thing I thought was he won't be able to do this in Wotc because you get locked in the end room so no running away which is how I beat the original game too, as I felt that last room was death, if you stayed in it. Really well done man. Just an incredible run. I always found the assassin the hardest chosen to deal with too. Congratulations on this fantastic achievement 😀 (You and The backlogs inspired me to go back and do a one soldier run of 'Enemy Within' and I achieved it yesterday. The base defense was by far the hardest thing. I'll have to jump back into Wotc now and try this) 😀
I had some ideas for fallout 4 (if u haven’t already done them) Can you beat fallout 4 with a mini gun Can you beat fallout 4 as the minutemen general ( laser musket and minutemen generals uniform only. I’d allow the captains hat from far harbor as it has the same design) And finally, can you beat fallout 4 as a railroad agent? (Deliverer, railroad coat once u can get it. Anything with ballistic weave until then, tinker Tom special, and a gauss rifle)
@@InsaneFrame i left comments showing concerns about the assassin chosen in the prequel video, which turned out to be true, but you pulled it off anyways. it actually inspired me to start my own one man run
I never really liked the sniper class in Xcom 2. I got to the point where I was able to beat the game at ironman/impossible, and I was still avoiding using snipers as much as possible, and I would tend to treat them as the most expendable members of the squad when I did have to use them. They could be really useful for destroying turrets with squad-sight, but that was the only major use I found for them until they could get enough useful pistol skills to get their damage output up to a decent level. The support class I find to be pretty much the most valuable, with rangers and grenadiers both being generally better than snipers at dishing out damage. One of the things I love about rangers is how easy it is to get 100% chance hits with them, but another great thing about them is that the shard gun doesn't need to be researched separately, meaning that you can always get the shard gun before getting the upgraded guns for snipers or grenadiers. The shard gun upgrade also doesn't cost that much, so I like to rush toward getting the shard gun pretty early on. Snipers in Xcom 1 could get extremely powerful, but I found Snipers in Xcom 2 to be really weak. The way their accuracy tails off at longer ranges just really hurts the utility of squad-sight. However, the pistol is more useful from the get-go, and I really do like the pistol specific skills, which are fun.
The answer to ur question...Yes i can. Its hardwork but Yes i did, in legend too....but not in vanilla [wid 304 mods]. And its Marksman there instead of Sharpshooter. Anyway congratz to u too as well.
Oh yeah one thing I didn't put in the video is getting I kid you not 37 kills in one turn due serial being so broken with gunslinger perks and dark talon pistol is OP
How did the enemies miss so often? Also how was your guys accuracy so good? My guys could have a 96% chance to hit and still miss. I could be across the map, miles away from an enemy and behind a bunch of cover and they would some how crit me 😑
sometimes its pretty bad but still it is the nature of xcom sometimes the rng gods are nice sometimes not so much all part of the fun and... shizz hitting the fan in xcom
You know, I assumed it was impossible, but if you actually managed to take down the chosen Strongholds with a single soldier... Do you think you can manage an unmodded Legendary Beta Strike Grim Horizon WOTC run? Using a full team, obviously, because the doubled health on everything makes the Sarcophagi backed up by reinforcements genuinely impossible for a single soldier. Since you could handle the base version with batman here, the full Justice League in your hands may well be able to keep up with the double health reinforcements and Chosen to wear down the coffin's 160 HP.
In the first 10 minutes of your video the Lancer has missed you 3 times. In my last playthrough, on Longwar, on Veteran, idt a Lancer EVER missed me lol
for each mission? well a fair few but anytime a reload was used it was back to the mission selection screen for new map and not know where the enemies are
My friend attempted (twice) solo ranger run. (Without watching anyone do solo runs too). Sad thing. In both runs game freezes after he tries to destroy avatar project facility. Anyone knows how to fix it? There must be some pattern if it happened to times in a row.
Did you die even once and had to reload? Im planning to do some challenge runs myself but i would like to do them on Ironman so you can see why that would be my main question. GG On the run i had no idea a Gunslinger path is that OP.
I did die an awful lot but I reload from the map selection to keep things fair but be prepared for alot of trail and error in a solo run and no shame in refusing missions if you are not equip for them!
I feel like starting with the templars would have worked better, that way you get the faster healing scan, along with a chance for the resistance order that gives more will recovery
The craziest thing about this run is that you did this despite the odds of errant sectoids mind controlling you and instantly ending your game until you got mindshield. I guess that's where the 'load from map' comes in. Still though.
the problem is when the big hitters come in like sectorpods and andremedons with a single soldier it can be extremely difficult as action economy and firepower are crucial
He is definitely cheating. He didn't miss a single shot and enemy missed 90%. You are a fool if you believe this shit. Hunter missing track shot? Really?
@@indiankid8601 or he only shows the reloads that passes the mission. So 10 times the hunter hits that track shot but the one he shows us is where he didn’t
congratulations on beating this challenge man. sharpshooters are the best class but I do still love the reapers and grenadiers lol. I couldn't imagine trying to beat this challenge myself
Me: What kind of question is that? I barely ever use more than one Sniper. Rangers are so good. *watches first 30 seconds* Me: Oh! That's what he meant.
I don't know what is more OP in the late game, Sharpshooters or rangers. Sharpshooters get a stupid number of shots a turn, and can knock out a number of dangerous things in a single ability. Rangers get a sword that can't miss and serial, and a shockingly long range shotgun. Either one is dumb with WoTC. I actually finished a mission with one unit, in under one turn, with 20 or so kills. It only took having that one ability to kill lost with any hit, the chosen's sword, a handful of upgrades, some form of jetpack, and well over 100 mobility and accuracy. Same save I also had a sniper with the inability to miss. You had to be at the max range the game allows before the accuracy would drop below 100%. Fun fact though, just because it reads 137% chance to hit, does not mean it will hit.
did you ever consider running a compensator? I know it's not exactly the greatest attachment out there but it's how I defeated the avatar that turn after it spawned, in one hit, with a mag sniper.

WOTC is amazing. Nice video mate.
oh shit you actually did it
it took alot of effort but we got that victory :)
@@InsaneFrame i left comments showing concerns about the assassin chosen in the prequel video, which turned out to be true, but you pulled it off anyways. it actually inspired me to start my own one man run
I never really liked the sniper class in Xcom 2. I got to the point where I was able to beat the game at ironman/impossible, and I was still avoiding using snipers as much as possible, and I would tend to treat them as the most expendable members of the squad when I did have to use them. They could be really useful for destroying turrets with squad-sight, but that was the only major use I found for them until they could get enough useful pistol skills to get their damage output up to a decent level. The support class I find to be pretty much the most valuable, with rangers and grenadiers both being generally better than snipers at dishing out damage. One of the things I love about rangers is how easy it is to get 100% chance hits with them, but another great thing about them is that the shard gun doesn't need to be researched separately, meaning that you can always get the shard gun before getting the upgraded guns for snipers or grenadiers. The shard gun upgrade also doesn't cost that much, so I like to rush toward getting the shard gun pretty early on.
Snipers in Xcom 1 could get extremely powerful, but I found Snipers in Xcom 2 to be really weak. The way their accuracy tails off at longer ranges just really hurts the utility of squad-sight. However, the pistol is more useful from the get-go, and I really do like the pistol specific skills, which are fun.
Sniper are all about damage and action economy they are seriously good :)
it is astonishing how the class I always found the most useless can become such a dominating one man army!
@@Seeyan86 sharpshooters are kings of damage
Mainly late game I use sharpshooters mainly end game and when I get the hunters sniper
56:15 please, what music are play from this time? I heard it so much but cant recognize where are it from!
The answer to ur question...Yes i can. Its hardwork but Yes i did, in legend too....but not in vanilla [wid 304 mods]. And its Marksman there instead of Sharpshooter. Anyway congratz to u too as well.
blooming heck thats impressive fair play you have my respect nervous to try commander let alone legendary!
sharpshooters with the gunslinger tree are so powerful it's absurd
give em bluescreen rounds and they'll kill a sectopod in one turn
Oh yeah one thing I didn't put in the video is getting I kid you not 37 kills in one turn due serial being so broken with gunslinger perks and dark talon pistol is OP
How did the enemies miss so often? Also how was your guys accuracy so good? My guys could have a 96% chance to hit and still miss. I could be across the map, miles away from an enemy and behind a bunch of cover and they would some how crit me 😑
sometimes its pretty bad but still it is the nature of xcom sometimes the rng gods are nice sometimes not so much all part of the fun and... shizz hitting the fan in xcom
Bradford's early morning workout cracked me up
You know, I assumed it was impossible, but if you actually managed to take down the chosen Strongholds with a single soldier...
Do you think you can manage an unmodded Legendary Beta Strike Grim Horizon WOTC run? Using a full team, obviously, because the doubled health on everything makes the Sarcophagi backed up by reinforcements genuinely impossible for a single soldier. Since you could handle the base version with batman here, the full Justice League in your hands may well be able to keep up with the double health reinforcements and Chosen to wear down the coffin's 160 HP.
On legendary it would be possible but it'd be a war of attrition so would require a very different strategy what i did here wouldn't work on legendary
In the first 10 minutes of your video the Lancer has missed you 3 times.
In my last playthrough, on Longwar, on Veteran, idt a Lancer EVER missed me lol
Sus
How many reloads this took, approximately?
for each mission? well a fair few but anytime a reload was used it was back to the mission selection screen for new map and not know where the enemies are
My friend attempted (twice) solo ranger run. (Without watching anyone do solo runs too). Sad thing. In both runs game freezes after he tries to destroy avatar project facility. Anyone knows how to fix it? There must be some pattern if it happened to times in a row.
Idk how to play but this is gonna be legendary some day. Ill try it if i beat the game once
Good luck remember each soldier is precious and action economy wins xcom
@@InsaneFrame thank you
@@katama4843 no worries man glad your trying out xcom :)
@@InsaneFrame you are the very first youtuber i saw to answer to any comment TWICE
Could you try XCOM 2 with only a ranger. ( Only sword if possible )
Don't worry were doing all the classes so a melee ranger might be a thing
"Gun and Run"
That would actually be implacable xD
In my 500+ hours in xcom i dont think ive seen the amount of misses ive seen in half of this video alone
Oh, look, return fire actually doing something!
is he super lucky or is it normal that the aliens miss that much and Im just bad?
Its actually a mechanic in game that buffs your squad the smaller it is on veteran difficulty and below
@@InsaneFrame good to know, thx
@@InsaneFrame I play higher difficulty so I never noticed
Did you die even once and had to reload? Im planning to do some challenge runs myself but i would like to do them on Ironman so you can see why that would be my main question. GG On the run i had no idea a Gunslinger path is that OP.
Oh OK i see you reloaded in the Assasin mission.
I did die an awful lot but I reload from the map selection to keep things fair but be prepared for alot of trail and error in a solo run and no shame in refusing missions if you are not equip for them!
@@InsaneFrameThe Avatar project putting the pressure is the scariest thing
Seeing you ignore mag pistol was so painful.
But chosen pistol! 😌
What a job! Excellent work. I would not have dreamed it could be done.
Loved watching this.
I know this is a year old, but what was the music used around 7:30?
I feel like starting with the templars would have worked better, that way you get the faster healing scan, along with a chance for the resistance order that gives more will recovery
that's why sharpshooter is the GOAT... THE GOAT!!!
I would love to see this in legend :)
Going to do something in legendary difficulty :)
@@InsaneFrame thats going to be fun
The craziest thing about this run is that you did this despite the odds of errant sectoids mind controlling you and instantly ending your game until you got mindshield. I guess that's where the 'load from map' comes in. Still though.
the problem is when the big hitters come in like sectorpods and andremedons with a single soldier it can be extremely difficult as action economy and firepower are crucial
Really cool challenge video, the amount of misses were insane even if they had a aim buffer. I need some of that rng😂
He is definitely cheating. He didn't miss a single shot and enemy missed 90%. You are a fool if you believe this shit.
Hunter missing track shot? Really?
@@indiankid8601 or he only shows the reloads that passes the mission. So 10 times the hunter hits that track shot but the one he shows us is where he didn’t
This is such a stupid idea.
"watches the entire video"
Amazing. Absolutely. Amazing.
You are extremely kind sir thankyou (currently working on solo ranger)
@@InsaneFrameyou are very welcome. Never tried a sniper with this build. Need to give it a whirl now.
congratulations on beating this challenge man. sharpshooters are the best class but I do still love the reapers and grenadiers lol. I couldn't imagine trying to beat this challenge myself
I would say sharpshooters are ridiculous for their sky high damage they can deal alot of damage :)
This is what happens when you can play COD against Aliens still on turnbased mode.
Me: What kind of question is that? I barely ever use more than one Sniper. Rangers are so good.
*watches first 30 seconds*
Me: Oh! That's what he meant.
@@AraigumaTV indeed a solo run means a single soldier its challenging
I don't know what is more OP in the late game, Sharpshooters or rangers.
Sharpshooters get a stupid number of shots a turn, and can knock out a number of dangerous things in a single ability.
Rangers get a sword that can't miss and serial, and a shockingly long range shotgun.
Either one is dumb with WoTC. I actually finished a mission with one unit, in under one turn, with 20 or so kills.
It only took having that one ability to kill lost with any hit, the chosen's sword, a handful of upgrades, some form of jetpack, and well over 100 mobility and accuracy.
Same save I also had a sniper with the inability to miss. You had to be at the max range the game allows before the accuracy would drop below 100%. Fun fact though, just because it reads 137% chance to hit, does not mean it will hit.
Challange idea: beat Warhammer Chaosgate Deamonhunters with only apothecary
did you ever consider running a compensator? I know it's not exactly the greatest attachment out there but it's how I defeated the avatar that turn after it spawned, in one hit, with a mag sniper.
Eve online music in the brackround?
Have you ever heard of the game called domina I think you will like it is a management game but in Rome and with gladiators
I actually have that game its pretty good :)
