XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen, is the expansion to the 2016 award-winning strategy game of the year.
XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen adds extensive new content in the fight against ADVENT when additional resistance factions form in order to eliminate the alien threat on Earth. In response, a new enemy, known as the “Chosen,” emerges with one goal: recapture the Commander. This expansion includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay.
NEW FACTIONS & HERO CLASSES
Three additional factions have emerged to strengthen Earth's resistance - the Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars - each with its own unique abilities and contrasting philosophies. These factions provide powerful hero class soldiers to aid in missions and new opportunities for the strategy layer.
THE CHOSEN
The Chosen are the most cunning enemies XCOM has ever faced, each with unique strengths and weaknesses that will be introduced with each new campaign. The Chosen are on the hunt for the Commander and will kidnap, interrogate, and kill XCOM’s soldiers to complete their objective. The Chosen can also invade the strategy layer and ravage XCOM’s global operations. Find and raid the Chosen’s strongholds to defeat the enemy for good.
NEW ALIEN & ADVENT THREATS
A deadly new alien known as the Spectre, capable of creating dark copies of XCOM soldiers, has snuck onto the battlefield. Adopt new tactics to counter it as well as the explosive attacks of the ADVENT Purifier and the psionically charged ADVENT Priest.
NEW ENVIRONMENTS AND MISSION OBJECTIVES
Engage in tactical missions across new environments from abandoned cities devastated by alien bioweapons during the original invasion, to underground tunnels and xenoformed wilderness regions.
ENHANCED STRATEGY LAYER
Manage XCOM’s relations with factions and counter The Chosen’s operations from the Avenger. Employ new Resistance Orders to prioritize your personal strategy. Soldiers, scientists, and engineers can now be deployed for Covert Actions that award supplies and boost faction favor if successfully completed.
GREATER CUSTOMIZATION & REPLAYABILITY
Soldiers can develop bonds with compatible teammates for new abilities and perks. The SITREP system dynamically adds new modifiers to the tactical layer to make sure every mission provides a unique challenge. Advanced campaign options allow for finer adjustments to game length and difficulty.
CHALLENGE MODE
Utilize the perfect strategy in new regular one-shot community challenges to claim the top spot on the global leaderboard.
SHARE THE RESISTANCE
Customize and pose your soldiers, then add filters, text and backgrounds to generate your own unique resistance posters that appear in-game and can be shared with friends.
XCOM 2: The Story So far - Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet's last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.
Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.

Guess what? I installed XCOM2 again... Put it on Expert, Ironman, with all the mods (thanks for the list on steam by the way) and... I was beaten until I cryed!
Another great video by the way! Thanks for share!
Lol, it's a lot to take in all at once. But think how easy the game will feel if you go back to vanilla XCOM!
I gotta say, it really hurt my soul at 45:38 when you hovered over the emergency aid ability that would've made using a medkit a free action, and then DIDN'T use it when you healed Ji Lee. This has been a great campaign so far, but taking some time to get acquainted with all the new abilities would've saved you a ton of action economy and headaches throughout the missions.
I have watched a ton of your xcom videos. I think that was the biggest pull you have ever had. Big fun to watch.
It's up there for sure, and the fact that they were all around us made it a lot worse.
Confucius say: " When being sandwiched, eat one slice of bread."
Wow what a turn TapCat against the whole map, who wins? Obviously our endearing commander always comes on top
That was extract right away territory for sure
It’s like the Lost… but Advent!
XD
Lol, that's a pretty good summary.
Impressive result considering how many enemies you had active at the same time at multiple points in the mission!
That was a tough one, no doubt about that!
The pod activation from hell. Good lord.
wow... just wow!
For real!
Ok, yeah, you really got surrounded by way too many enemies but you did well that round.
I was really pleased with how we did that turn. It took a while to mop of the rest but we would have been looking at some real trouble if all those guys had been teeing us up on their turn.
Honestly, after you fight Gatekeeper Primes in other missions it feels cute sseing the game reveal the Gatekeeper as if it's a big new threat...
Yeah, that scripted intro really falls flat unless you do this mission early on and the idea of fighting a gatekeeper is genuinely new and scary... at least in that campaign.
I'd say this was the most intense map of my run. Loads of pods close together, each pod rather strong on their own. The layout is quite odd too (I think I had the same one as you). I was lucky to go in with my reaper though and got a fair bit of scouting.
Love reaper scouting, it's just so darned helpful
I have this mission coming up in my own campaign. Not looking forward to this one at all.
I have faith in you! For me in vanilla XCOM2 the first retaliation mission is always the hardest.
You'll be fine, if you move up slowly and carefully it's fairly rare to get that many enemies converging on your all at once.
"86% is not 100".
Truer words have never been spoken.
We've all learned that lesson the hard way
You usually love the Reaper intel, but it's good to remember that you can also scan at the Templar HQ to get double the healing rate if you have some wounded soldiers! :)
We've done that a few times, but we're okay on health at the moment. We're almost always a little tight, this is actually better than usual becuse we have more higher ranked guys available and it's the lower ranks where we're really tight.
RAY!!!
It’s not really weird that the sectoid was on his own. Everybody in advent hAtes sectoids they are the biggest jerks
This mission was a big movie moment. Good on you.
Honeslty, taking the shot on the Codex with the Bluescreen rounds, even with a lower chance to hit was a good play. It's hard for any other character to hit that guy plus teleport is a serious problem. You missed, but it was worth the try...
Even when I watched the replay, I had no regrets on that one. I see other things that make me wince a bit, but I agree that it was a risk worth taking.
I don't think I've ever seen you fighting so many enemies at once. Nice recovery. Shame about the advent recruit but he gave up his life nobly in atonement for past actions etc. (Note; say that with small grin). In any case, good vid
Thanks, I've had a few missions with a similar number of enemies active at one time but it's certainly not common and I'm grateful for that!
Elite Striker: "Were surrounded, theres multiple pods"
Heather: "They really don't want us here"
Andersen: "At least it can't get any worse"
*Andromadon pod and 2 more codex pods trigger*
Elite Striker: "You were saying?"
Andersen: 😮
Heather: "So what's th plan?"
Andersen: "So were definitely using a mimic beacon...and"
Elite Striker: "Will that be enough?"
Andersen: "Well no but we also have.....you"
Elite Striker: "Me?"
Andersen: "Yes, you can take on an Andromadon can't you? I mean tought guy like you-"
Heather: "-Not to mention, that Andromadons can't aim "That" well so he probably won't even come close"
Elite Striker: "You're right, I GOT THIS! FOR XCOM!"
*Elite Striker runs ahead and gets shot immediately by the Andromadon*
Heather: "He's dead isn't he" 😑
*Elite Striker's corpse twitches*
Andersen: "Yup" 😮💨
Ray knew how nasty that one was gonna be, great job keeping our soilders alive
Even with everything on this mission, I'd still play it instead of the "normal" version. I just hate burrow lids that much lol.
That pod casually strolling into the already awful activation was *chef's kiss*
Indeed!
Adrenaline rush is Run and Gun with a damage reduction. Works the same AFAIK
The weird thing is that I tried using it before a shot a few missions ago and it actually gave me another shot. Maybe it was just the hair trigger and I didn't see the message.
