So, according to the santa clause, that andromedon, which did not die, is now santa.
So next year it'll be an andromedons only run, which is possible with the allies unknown mod

UNBELIEVABLE, THE KING TOOK AN ADVANCE ON HIS UPLOAD AND TOOK 6 WEEKS LESS TIME THAN HIS LAST XCOM2 CHALLENGE RUN UPLOAD. HOOOONEY WAKE UP, HE'S BAAAAAAAAAAACK

To answer your early question: yes, you can suppress with a shotgun. It's a little weird since your guy shoots and re-cocks over and over again, but it works just fine (and could be better than taking a low chance shot).

XCOM is no longer a window company for this run, they're a demolition company

19:16 Disorientation does only last 1 turn. When the stun lancer hit again, it re-applied disorient, resetting the timer. The exact same effect as 2 consecutive flashbangs.

"This man is handing out one-shot crits like he's a shield bearer." The soldiers may not be hitting alot of shots, but Drifter's commentary never misses.

The scatter mechanic was basically someone thinking that explosives were not XCOM enough.

I was waiting for this one. Technical is such a weird class compared to the others, there are bound to be some interesting moments

Everyday we get closer to long war 2, I can almost taste it.
Have a lovely Christmas Drifter, it's coming up quick.

@1:45:06. Love to see the whole platoon lined up with their Santa hats saluting as the camera passes 😊

Gotta love the hit and crit roll being the same, so a disoriented enemy will basically either miss or crit because of low hit chance.

@OtakuReborn 1 year ago

17:30 - I heard somewhere that the XCOM 2 accuracy routine is a bit weird and doesn't do what you might expect it to. Supposedly, crit is independent of hit, instead of being a percentage of hit. For example, if you have a 60% hit and a 50% crit, you might expect that the way this would break down is 30% crit, 30% normal hit, 40% miss, and this is what most other games do, including XCOM 1. But in XCOM 2, crit being independent of hit means that the actual outcomes are 50% crit, 10% hit, 40% miss. Presumably if the unit has a higher critical chance than hit, then if they do land the hit, it will be a 100% crit. This makes flashbangs pretty risky, because it just means that if they do hit you, they're almost certainly going to crit you.
