Be careful with those seekers Commander! I had one in the first pod during blacksite, it disappeared. On a high ground I destroyed the assassin then kept sniping enemies with two snipers for like 20 turns. Once everything was clear I dashed forward with 5 soldiers, one sniper I left on the high ground. Guess what? The seeker was behind my squad completely flanking all of them all the time but was waiting for my sniper to be left alone... immediately grabbed him. I was impressed with the ai.
Petrol being like "Nah, don't need fire when I can just shoot things in the face with a cool pistol!", simply loving it. I'm also loving each and every step in this series, so mega thanks for every single one of them!!! 😁
I like the part of the campaign where you take a covert op /because/ it is an ambush. The "experimental items" op is always a good one to take because you might get AP rounds long before you get the proving ground.
I would love ammo resupply for my flamer guy, many times they can't move in to be useful or robotic enemies, then reloading someone else can be powerful

Am gonna work with Rapunzel to get rid of that awful helm. Poor thing though she'd rid of it after her last covert mission. Tourist, Mr. Rain, and Nova fill out the rest of the group. Good to see Mr. Rain again after our last bout with snakes and poison. This should be a good one for all of us. A've got my armor on now. It feels amazing.

The amount of unused items lying around in Odd's inventory : PCS, weapon parts, gems etc... Xcom should be the black market dealer, they have more stock
The commander is speaking about expanding crew size and then poor Vickers sits in the corner thinking that he is gonna be benched forever. I bet he prays for a couple of soldier deaths just to be able to replace them and see some action. Hold strong brother!
Yeah, "Ever Vigilant" is one of the best abilities imo. When you want to move up aggressively, it's basically a run and gun that you can use every turn. Paired with sentinel that will be a beast. Now if you only get the ability that allows you to overwatch on actions (not sure if sentinel already does that).
i think that combat protocol in 1st mission against seeker had 5-6 damage and seeker had 6 hp so it rolled low i think modular vektor rifle should work on all of its tiers wich propably gonna bite chriss ass some point lol hopefully chris takes that pistol breakthrough mission since its gonna help a lot pistol users now and later...
Loving this series, binged season 8 and this in 1 or 2 weeks, I have a small complaint though and that would be the music is a little bit too loud (Especially Squad Selection screen, combat music and mission end music).
Berserker roars at Petrol Petrol, nonchalantly, - Someone needs a mint Edit - PETROL'S GOT THAT DOG IN HIM!!! THAT'S WHY HE'S THE MVP!!! THAT'S WHY HE'S THE GOAT!!!!!! THE GOAT!!!!!!
I doubt Bloodlet will work with the immolator - the description said "Standard Shots" will cause bleeding, and the immolator attack is probably not considered a standard shot. Also I could feel thge frustration with the tooltip when looking at that crit damage perk that provided no information at all.
You have been passing over turret breakdown so far, but at this stage of the game you are not usually hunting the chosen. That's why you lost last season when the warlock attacked the Avenger. A defense matrix could have made a difference in that attack.
28:12 Pet peeve time: No, you did NOT "lie". Conflating lies with errors is a mistake. From Websters dictionary: Lied; Lying: 1. To make an untrue statement with INTENT to DECEIVE. 2. To create a false or misleading IMPRESSION. (Ie, twisting the truth, lying by omission, etc.) Lying requires INTENT by a liar (though lies can be passed on to an unwitting patsy by an original liar). An UNINTENTIONAL falsehood can be called a mistake, an error, misspeaking, or false. Villains too often get away with bold face lies by claiming that they merely 'misspoke', then turn around and persecute anyone with honest disagreements by calling them 'liars'. The inability to understand the difference between lies and errors, and the ease with which the two concepts are confused, underpins some of the most dangerous propaganda that divides modern society. This confusion isn't just restricted to villains, it has become extremely fashionable and infectious across all of society.
The Odd Paradox: Before the video starts, 1 hour and 23 minutes seems like a long time. After it's over, it didn't seem nearly long enough. How many hours until tomorrow afternoon?
@WayneOliver-The yeah. I don't ever want enemies sticking around longer than taking 1 shot. If they do I've done something wrong. I agree that it isn't worth keeping when you could get 90 bucks out of it.
I am certain that there is ~100 supplies for about 45 intel just sitting there waiting at the black market while the commander just keeps shoveling the entire inventory into the sell pile. Also "man i need rookies" (passes on every single rookies scan site) "Man we need more power" (passes on every single avenger power scan site) "Man we're poor" (We've just been bolted into the floor at the skirmisher HQ, no supplies scan sites no sir)
I've been thinking the same thing. Some of that rushed building could have been delayed in exchange for picking up ... well, anything! And the argument that rushing the build for supplies instead of scanning for supplies kinda makes sense ... but if you scan for the supplies, you will eventually get both!
@@jessepope7726 That depends right? If you need to get the crew size up and increase power and its really holding you back, trading intel for some cash could help, especially if you have that much. Its just another resource to utilize like any other. You can make the intel back with those datapads too.
To be honest, I have watched many of your XCOM series and never ceased to love it. But this season is way less climax and intriguing because the XCOM force is too overpowered with abundant loots and abilities while the enemies are too thin. In fact, I will prefer the previous failed season because of its challenging missions. Love to see you to be engaged in difficult situations and drain your grey material to improvise. I think the setting of XCOM side is great enough, just make our enemies more challenging. Love your works anyways.
He is ahead of the curve with armour and weapons but didn't contacted enough regions, resulting constant supply shortage, and have at least 10 less soldier then he needs. There is always a price his soldiers are strong but tired, exhausted. And enemies will be significantly get stronger. Also the Chosen with 60 hp didn't appeared.
51:30 I'm really struggling to see why the Temnotics would make the squad under equipped, hell there is one of the troops who can dish out 12 damage or so easily with one
Anyone has an idea about Facility Leads (that stuff you need to attack facilites). I had 3, attacked one facility and they are all gone now. I dont remember the tooltip about them, did it say that all get useless after I attack one facility? Or why are they all gone now? I got two as a mission reward which would make no sense if you lose them when you attack an facility. Any ideas?
@@commi235 You can also find them or buy them in the black market. Like I said, I had 3. They were all gone after 1 mission and I think it is bugged by now
@Falorik you can only buy 1 actionable lead from the black market throughout the whole campaign, if you have more than 1 thru other means check your research options, if you can research an actionable lead then it is working fine
Facility leads and actionable leads are different. Facility leads are the ones you need to research. If you have leads to do more facilities then you have already researched them to make them actionable leads.
At 45:15, right after finishing an autopsy on an advent soldier, Tygan coming up to the Commander and complaining about how much he misses JUICY ADVENT burgers is peak comedic timing.

A speed loader on Oscuridad with the new dashing overwatch ability has good synergy. Would really help with the mobility issues.
God it's a damn good day to be a channel member! Keep this awesome series coming commander!
Man I was getting stressed with this one. Modular affects the whole weapon class and is only offered once, it really is a must take ❤

Commander says, I'll see your reinforcements and raise you a complete wipeout.
All weapon module slots are for all weapons of that class. Such as rifles for rifles up to plasma. Vicktor upgrades for all that type. Etc.
I like the part of the campaign where you take a covert op /because/ it is an ambush. The "experimental items" op is always a good one to take because you might get AP rounds long before you get the proving ground.
AP rounds are 3rd on the list of rounds I'd want from that. Talon and fire are both better, especially with as many taipans you see with requiem.
Speed Loader with Ever Vigilant is an amazing combo for those low mobility cannons.
I would love ammo resupply for my flamer guy, many times they can't move in to be useful or robotic enemies, then reloading someone else can be powerful

YES! LETS GO. PREDATOR AORMOR BABY.
I've always loved the look of that utility parcel, with the whirlpool tank. I'm pretty sure that comes from a tactical map mod?
Pray you have a smooth recovery commander!
Welp if there was ever a need for “more corpses” to collect, this do be the mission for it
i think that combat protocol in 1st mission against seeker had 5-6 damage and seeker had 6 hp so it rolled low i think

MVP is determined by the number of accolades they get.
Question, how would the Oddsman perk that gives bonus damage to lower percentage shots work with stocks?
Good question...I doubt it would do anything. Stocks are usually treated separately. But I like the theory crafting!
Great work Commander. The team was in the zone today
….. a Medic and a Priest walked into a bar….
Trading Intel for supplies sometimes is a good idea...
X-Com, let's GOOOOO!!!❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Odd you need to do MEC research for Bluescreen Protocol and Elerium research. It is really crucial.
Won't matter until he has the proving ground.
@@joshp8535 oh yeah you're right, forgot that he didn't even finish officer research, cuz I usually build the proving ground for my second facility.

Defensive Matrix with upgrade & staffed engineer saved my a$$, i would have failed Avenger Defense without them. 😢

I doubt Bloodlet will work with the immolator - the description said "Standard Shots" will cause bleeding, and the immolator attack is probably not considered a standard shot.

What counts as a shot? What doesn't count as a shot?

At this point whenever I hear you say something like "this should be easy from here on out.." I think you're just tempting fate for lols 😅
You have been passing over turret breakdown so far, but at this stage of the game you are not usually hunting the chosen. That's why you lost last season when the warlock attacked the Avenger. A defense matrix could have made a difference in that attack.
Dear ChristopherOdd, please, play Syberia 4: The world before. I really want this game to be commented by your wonderful voice.
Dismantle drones gives small amount of Intel.
Do you guy's think Odd will move the Res & Dev slot and switch it with the infirmary in this season. Might be in part 29 for me.

Havnt played in a long time and I want to dive in with your mods. Is it as simple as subscribing to your mod collection on steam?
Does anyone know what button he presses to bring up the enemg reference sheet in combat?
F1 on pc when targeted or selected on an enemy. Works for your team, too.
@@joshp8535 thank you! This is quite genuinely game changing haha
I would have sold that body shield. Mistake on my part?
@ 90 buck I mean
Having a Soldier like Rapunzel, gains HP when missed by enemy shot, yeah, otherwise, nah
But from only one enemy and at 90
@WayneOliver-The yeah. I don't ever want enemies sticking around longer than taking 1 shot. If they do I've done something wrong. I agree that it isn't worth keeping when you could get 90 bucks out of it.
Im kinda wondering where is the hunt assasin part 2 as it hasnt showed up not second month in a row
You need to do the blacksite story mission for those to pop up. Progressing thru defeating chosen is locked behind story progression In this modlist
I am certain that there is ~100 supplies for about 45 intel just sitting there waiting at the black market while the commander just keeps shoveling the entire inventory into the sell pile.

If anything, Odd doesn’t sell enough crap at the Black Market. Trading precious intel for supplies is usually not a good idea.

Give it time, we haven't seen the 25 reinforcements at once and 3 actions points 50 hit points Requiem units yet this time...
I think this season Is gonna get nasty very soon. Now's the time to get some advantage 'til we can
Had an enemy late game that 1 shot my 16 health, 3 armor mec purely on revealing it, on MY turn 😆. Give it time, it def gets spicey later on

No SPARKS this season, only MEC troopers.
Is there a way that people who play on consoles get mods?...I have been looking for these mods with no luck...😢😢😢
Nope
Yeah that sucks
You fail to realize how good a speed loader is Odd. Think of how useful a speed loader would be on a unit with Sentinel and Ever Vigilant. 🤔
nah disagree. Speed loaders arent good, you want a big ammo pool and scopes when over watching. No point getting sentinel when you have 0 ammo
Doing an AP mission with x2 AP rewards would be worth it right?
I'm curious if those would double. Worth a try!
@ChristopherOdd i think the card says "earned in combat" so I don't think it will count.
@@joshp8535 agreed, pretty sure those don’t get the 2x modifier off the card
