Take the fight to the Aliens in this new Total Conversion for XCOM 2, featuring New Classes, New Weapons, an Improved Campaign and much more!
You may not have heard about Pavonis Interactive who released one of the most popular mods for the original XCOM back in 2012, but their name is held in high esteem among the XCOM community. 5 years on and they have just released their Long War 2 mod for XCOM 2, which not only features a redesigned campaign but brand new weapons, classes, skills and much more. This is a dream mod for any fan of last year's fantastic turn based action game, so blow off the dust and dive into this new mod.
Say Hello to my little friend!
Features include:
- A much longer campaign, running for 100 to 120 missions on average
- Infiltration mechanics that require you to send out multiple squads at once
- Manage resistance Havens and have resistance members scrounge for supplies, gather intelligence or recruit more people to your cause
- Nine soldier classes: Sharpshooter, Shinobi, Ranger, Assault, Gunner, Grenadier, Specialist, Technical and Psionic (plus Sparks for DLC owners), each with unique secondary weapons
- Two new weapon tiers, lasers and coilguns
- Dozens of new enemies and smarter battlefield AI
- ADVENT strategic AI that tries to counter your moves
Not only does the game bring with it new missions, but it also adds new types so you're constantly going to find something new that you've not experienced before. AI is much more responsive and you'll feel like you're fighting real aliens at times, you'll want to make sure your squad is equipped with the latest kit available - luckily that's also been improved as the mod brings new types of weapons and more variety to your arsenal.
Want a look at the mod before diving in? The Official XCOM 2 team have created a first look for some of the game's features, so far they've shown off the New Class and New Missions available - but this is just the tip of the ice berg.
You can download the mod here, all you need is a copy of XCOM 2 and then you'll be able to Subscribe to the mod which will then begin downloading. Be warned though as the mod requires 2.2GB's of HDD space!
