Take a shot every time Chris says "That's dirty"
ZionSype or “problematic”
Take a shot every time Odd presses esc and says "Whoops"
Or types eh!
@@starjadiancloneinvestigato1772 ☠
Take "coulda, shoulda, woulda" - THAT is what a real night of regret looks like.
chris the disruptor rifle does guaranteed crits on psionic enemies. use it to your advantage. i reccomend using it with bluescreens so you deal massive damage to gatekeepers and codexes.
HIT THEIR WEAK SPOT FOR MASSIVE DAMAGE!
Would dragon rounds DoT crit, too if fires by this thing?
pretty sure DoT doesn't crit on it's own.
Just picture the nightmares if there was a Chrysallid that Dr Vahlen had modified along wth the Muton, Viper etc.
Auron Grande. Chris had a mod installed on previous campaign. It added a giant Crysalid with about 60 health, and it showed up all the time.
Scary as hell
Playthrough name/season?
Rick Bergolla 2 Seasons Ago
I missed that Season. I got the chance to watch his first Playthrough, and watching this one. So many games to watch.
Yes. Which season/playlist is it?
Elena: no one will mourn you.
damn that's brutal. Elena is one cold bitch I'll give her that.
Just one more reason to love her
**Gets killed by ADVENT Soldier**
Hey, Chris! Remove the negative trait from Langley, maybe you'd forgot.

Log: Klaus Werner "Scorch"
Entry 52
Things were different when we touched down. There were some kind of mutated fireflies floating around, giving off a soft blue glow. Prophet finally got to give his Rift ability a try. He’s developing incredibly fast given that he’s only had his eye opened for a year. I get the feeling none of the enemies machines understand my gauntlets, especially the codecs. They seem insistent on disabling my gauntlets with little to no effect. Outrider took a serious hit when she got jumped by a Chryssalid. I rushed in to strike down a Codex. With the entire team bearing down fire, we finally managed to take down a spectre while it was on the move. Hajda and I were sent on point to scout out the further areas. I could feel the void become more pliable, like we were nearing something of immense pionic activity. Another Chryssalid tried to get a jump on us, but we were able to gun it down easily. Hajda got rushed by two while on point, but was kill one and injure the other before getting hit. I took out the last one. A couple of Codecs caught sight of us, but Prophet was able to dominate one while I exchanged myself with the other. Another Chryssalid popped out of the ground, but Hajda was able to cut it’s head off on approach. An entire pack crawled out from behind what I could only call a gate. Psionic force pulled like a vortex into a single point, a weak breaching point in the void. I could tell, all it would take was the tiniest bit of focused energy and a breach would open. I felt it give, before a gatekeeper emerged. It’s almost sad how little of a threat it was. After that was just mopping up chryssalids.
We were able to extract the gateway, and dragged it aboard the Avenger, but 4-20 greeted me at the gangplank, congratulating me. Apparently I finally earned my colonel badge, along with a new meditation place to test a few ideas I have in my head.
They finally reached a conclusion on the Disruptor rifle of the Warlock’s. Another kind of strange-matter, this one also psionically charged, but in a much different way. I guess that would explain why I didn’t like touching it. Whenever a ferroslug is propelled through the barrel, it’s sheathed in a currently unknown form of psionic energy. This psionic energy is normally inert, aside from causing the round to travel faster and further for longer. However, this field will violently collapse when it comes into contact with another active psionic field, causing severe damage to the mind producing it. Basically, it’s a weapon designed to kill psionics. Just makes me want to break it over the nearest rock even more, but it will no doubt be useful in the coming battles.
Our friends have told me that the Kendos are done, but they’re still working on my arc blades. Apparently the shadow chamber has been drinking up resources recently. I’m excited to truly spar with 4-20. Ever since I graduated into a full templar, I’ve only ever been beaten in the ring by one person, and that’s only because she kept better focus.
A haven just sent up a red flag, so I better log off.
End of Entry 52
(I am interested in polling the public opinion, as the season draws to a close. Throughout my logs, I have kind of "made up" sections of lore, like the strange matter and how the different factions are organized. I'm not going to act like they're perfect, but I feel like they make sense. I get the feeling that future seasons are going to have even more RP'rs, so I wanted to ask: do we want to accept these as a sort of baseline? Or each season do we want to re-create these? I'm honestly curious.)

Someone please tell Klaus the plural of 'codex' is 'codices'.
Sarcasm Detector
He’s still learning english.
(i am a native English speaker, actually. That, and an official plural has never been given. I use the word Codecs as the origin of the name Codex is Codec, a type of program or device used to compress data for faster transmission, whose plural is codecs.)
Christian Coler
I meant Klaus’s first language.
I say reboot the lore every time to have even more random XCOM fun
Oh my god. I just figured out why that thing is called a Gatekeeper...
I feel stupid now.
Drecon84 I have no other comment other than you are right...
it keeps the gate
Can't blame you, you encounter those things before you even meet the scripted encounter design for it. I also didn't know why it was call that until this mission
All that second tier armor. As cool as that yellow chord on the arm of the spider suit looks you really need to wraith suit that up. Your killer sniper is one shotable in that thing.
When will we see a soldier armed with the Warlock's rifle?
"Countless Gatekeepers before this," Chris, you'd killed exactly 8. Still, I know the feeling, the big reveal unit is revealed long before you reach the gate it's keeping typically.
I find it weird that you go and check for autoloaders by hovering on the weapon, when you could just look if the Reload button is name Free Reload.
Dear Chris,
My name is John. And i live in Brazil. Now it's 22:29, fifth of october A.K.A. My birthday! I dont even know if you are ever going to see this, but still. I have been watching your channel since you were still doing Xcom: Enemy Unknown videos. I'm going through some rough times here.I watch your videos everyday and i love your series. Which is "Odd" (*wink* *wink*) because i usually dont like strategy games. Xcom was what got me interested in this genre and watching you play makes me both amazed and frustrated beyond belief! I love your work and i hope you keep being this awesome.
With Love (no homo), JP
P.S: Please stop mistaking Zhao with Dragunova. Its kind of a bummer since Zhao had to replace Dragunova and take the charge as Xcom's infiltrator for a while and even becoming more powerful than her yet still being mistaken for her. (Chris is Classist, he thinks all reapers are the same)
Now that you've acquired Ghost on Klaus, you have to use it on a specter sometime. It would be so fitting.
Also, that dramatic irony at 35:35.
Last time I played this mission I tossed a Mimic Beacon at the Gatekeeper and it pulled in every underground Chrysalid on the map, making it super easy to rain explosives on the whole lot of them. I haven't had a chance to test it since, so I might have just got lucky, but it seems like maybe the Mimic Beacon makes a handy bug lure.
I also find it useful, when dealing with Chrysalids, to overwatch the rest of the squad BEFORE moving my scouts forward, and, if I've dominated an enemy, sending HIM out front.
33:19 Belive or not but I think Warlock body dissapeared. Dun Dun Duuun!
13:06 codex photobombing
I want to see Homers stats. He has to have a couple crazy ones
Does anyone else want a Chryssalid plush? 🎶Crunchy Crunchy Chryssalids🎶
Drinking game:
Take a shot every time Chris says "That's dirty." or anytime he says "That concerns me." or a variation thereof.
Also take a shot every time Chris mistakes a gun for a melee weapon that requires him to be one square away from the target.
Take an extra shot whenever Chris states a course of action as unwise, then does it anyway.
Oh, and take a shot whenever Chris mis-genders an enemy and TWO shots if he does it to a member of his own squad.
THAT should get you into a stupor in no time!
Oh boi , i was like "let's see whether odd has a new vid up" and lookie here ! Lucky me
Wondering if anyone saw (12:46) the codex used her bubble on Hajda, and his weapon shows "Unaffected".
Are those chosen weapons all immune to that?
鄭文景 he has untouchable
It's one of the effects of "Untouchable". It worked that way from the beginning, way before WotC.
The 8 dislikes are from these dead chryssalids 😂
Fain has that killer look.. almost like Locksley had..
Thank you as usual
15:09 Yes it is. It's why you're there in the first place.
hmm! isn't it fine a plasma granade for Mox? i mean for the perk of throwing a granade doesn't count as an action. Or perhaps pick up "tactical rigging" with him so you can carry both a ganade and another object with Mox.
Raisen-kun I've used this before on mox and it actually isn't a free action but rather costs one action point. It reads "won't end the turn" but that just means it won't end the turn if you do it first thing so it's not that powerful but wraith on him is insane because I literally am able to take out an archon from full health with him if wraith hits because he's got a 100% chance to hit with his plasma bull pup and it just demolishes them
You've already unequipped a ton of weapons to deal with having Chosen weps, you might as well just go whole hog and do 'Make Weapons Available' to make it easier on yourself (and less likely to forget them that way).
hey chris i think you should really get arc wave on klaus it will in theory help you build focus faster
This is one of the problems with XCOM2 IMO. Your end squad is so powerful that the end game becomes rather trivial. I would give WOTC 10/10 for the early and mid game. But it has almost nothing to say at the end game. You just mindlessly grind out missions. And its worse now than in vanilla as you have super soldiers with multiple line promotions, so the end is even more trivial than before.
flobbingdonkey I agree with this up to the point of the final mission which is then just preposterously difficult and you find yourself outnumbered by enemies 3 or 4:1
Music builds up while klaus gets focus music stops then silent pause
Then odd says "Klaus is pumped" good timing there odd hehe.
I'm ready for season 2 if I dont get recruited, I guess
Name: Mikael 'Fort' Franss
Gender: Male
Nationality: Finland
Defining characteristic: Aviators, always.
Color scheme: Anything blue-ish and white. Doesn't matter in the end.
Biography: Once the part of the Private Military Corporation (The name is top-secret for an unkown reason) in Costa Rica that was destroyed by an unknown military organization, right before the invasion Franss moved back to his homeland Finland as a mercenary looking for a job. As the first reports of invasion came to the country he currently made his living in, Franss joined the Finish Defense Forces to give his support to them.
His medical skills and noted marksmanship back in Costa Rica went long way for Franss. Not to mention he wasn't afraid of forcing enemies into close quarters or vice versa, boxing in his teenage years really paid of when he had to take down a rampaging Berserker to safe his brothers in arms. Sure, Franss didn't come out unscratched - having most of his bones broken in right side of his body - resulting in long stay in infirmary. The company gave him the Nickname 'Fort' for "his reckless and unyielding defense towards the slap of steroided alien meat". A man who only wanted to do his job only as a medic in the Anti-Armor forces, ended up as a trainer to teach close quarters tactics against aliens to convicts.
After the fall XCOM, Franss was forced into hiding in the deep forests of Finland, living a life of a guerrilla soldier, hunting wildlife and avoiding contact with Advent. Once the word about XCOM reforming reached Franss, he only knew one thing to do - dig up the old equipment of his and travel the globe and it's battlefields to find the XCOM forces.
What, the Templar managed to hit a shot with his pistol?
Did they introduce a stock for the Templar's pistol that I am not aware of?
Great episode,
Cheers.
No Reaper on your Templar. What a shame. Still, having Bladestorm makes one of the better Ghosts.
Anyone else see Zhao's face.It's a lot different than I imagined.
It does make you do the missions but you have that faction card that removes an Avatar project block each month.
aww i hope it was my comment about the ranger weapon that he saw.
Should get a mind shield for your Templar.
Did you not put the assassin’s katana on your ranger? Because with blademaster, hunter’s instinct, and that never miss katana, that should always 100% one-shot chrysalids on this mission. But maybe the difficulty level you have set affects that.
odd on the description for the rend ability it says that the attack can't miss and I think that might also count for blade-storm so it maybe the ultimate counter for spectre
I think that the spectres "first reaction attack always misses" overrides that. So if the spectre was shot at once when moving, then the bladestorm rend will hit. If not the lightning reflexes of the spectre will make it fail I think.
maybe it will be something for someone to look into
When you want to play life is strange before the storm
@28:19 Chris, thought, What would happen if you ended the mission while still being in control of the codex? This ran through my mind when you were hunting the bugs.
Nothing, the mission ends, and the mind-controlled entity isn't acknowledged.
While the stun might be better than the burn, an upgraded ripjack would deal more base damage, wouldn't it?
Silas Brown yes, but if you saw one of the earlier episodes where Mox chain stunned a berserker queen with it, it proves it worthiness.
How frequent is Odd's schedule? I just recently subbed and don't know about his upload schedule.
once a day normally
I don't think I'll ever understand why you won't send Homer to the covert ops with his bondmate. At higher bond levels this would also speed up the ops.
Scorch need mobility... with some cover ops mobility point and PCS he can move almost whole map
You should get the channel ability for Klaus. It makes him way more viable because you can get focus from enemies that you allies kill, in turn letting you use mor of his abilities. You don't have to rely on Klaus getting the kill if you have this ability
Hey Christopher, will you do Evil within 2? Would love to have you do it!
covert action reward gives intel
Ignores it
i mean it wasnt much but it might have gotten you what you needed odd
hey mr.odd why don't you make, a wraith suit, it's not bad is it? plus you get to slot for item and has the same advantages as the spider suit?or even better make another serpent suit and you all set.
Are the Chosen weapons immune to codex bubbles?
Council?! what council?! I HEAR NOTHING ABOUT A COUNCIL IN THIS GAME TODD!!!
Improve Homer's intelligence! He deserves it!
Why are you so against making the wraith suit? It's better than the spider suit in every way.
Wait... where's the Warlock trophy?
He equipped it on his specialist in the end of the video.
Oh I didn't notice that equiping the chosen weapon it also remove the chosen trophy on the wall too
It just dissapeared , how weird , his corpse is no longer there . . . that is quite creepy
Anyone know what happens when u get guardian and bladestorm on one guy?
Good question, wouldn't try it though, XCOM likes to crash.
he/she will shoot when/if guardian triggers and if the enemy reachs within range he/she will bladestorm it.
Esteban Castellino more than once bladestorm?
Bladestorm will trigger everytime an enemy comes within 1 tile radius from the ranger. Doesn't matter how many enemies, there is no limit on bladestorm triggering.
Anton Kirilenko I will repeat again IF I get bladestorm and guardian how many times would I hit ONE enemy?
How about some Nier Automata ? :D
Odd I'm pretty sure the rip jack only stuns even it's on the 3rd tier ,upgrade it odd
Jay Ice nope....ripjack doesnt stun on third tier....
The Fusion Ripjack burns
Nope. Fusion ripjack doesn't stun at all. Only Ionic(Tier 2) ripjack stuns.
Ooh my bad crap
I've been following since I seen your walk-through for We Happy Few, I have to say please use Sofia. You have the "Tired but can use players card" and I think she's worth it. Shes the baddest bitch in the line-up. So please use her, finally, its been too long.
He doesn't want to use tired solgiers as they will become Shaken after that, which is like Lightly Wounded. He knows that he has a "Lightly wounded solgiers can participate in battle" card but if they get shot, their off timer will increase drastically.
Bluescreens and shredstorm for what, you dingo?!
Bluescreen for one-shotting codices and Shredstorm to unleash a storm of shred.
You dingo.
batman overhaul mod
xcom 2 is jagged alliance 3
nice codex pet
8th minute in, 114th view, 9th like, hell yeah
WHERE IS DARKEST DUNGEON???????
That chrissalid reveal was total bullshit
you dont need to wear that stupid snake head, change it in customization for the head.
NEW DIVINITY EPISODE WHEN???!!!
You should do a let's play of Cuphead
Aaron De Leon Its a bit overrated that and personally I don't find it fun to watch, but that's only my opinion!
That Guy I can agree that it MAY be overhyped. But when you look at the content and the stuff you are getting for only 20 dollars. It's a fair assumption to make that the game is good. And if you don't enjoy watching people play it, ehh to each their own. I respect your opinion friend.
Aaron De Leon Thank you, I just wanted to make a point with my opinion. :)
MORE DIVINITY T_T!
B HB It's gonna be coming tomorrow ;)
so long ~ "gay keeper" !!!
STOP SAYING PROBLAMATIC!!
Adrian Brent stfu
Adrian Brent No cuz im taking shots on how many times he says that haha
