Don't think so, one class got a drone already which they can send to hack things, aid soldiers or harass enemies with.

Maybe in the Shen DLC that will be out in the summer, most likely mech and maybe shivs then.

Pre-order DLC Is a rebel-themed cosmetic pack.

No. You can take your character pool from XCom 2 and save it in a file. You can then put that file on the internet or do whatever the fuck you want with it and someone else or you on another XCom 2 installation can just use that file to get the characters from your character pool file.

I like shivs because i run 2 heavies and 1 support so i have 4 suppression abilities, there's always a weird gap between high cover when you're advancing and the shiv fits in there nicely so you can take cover behind it one turn without sprinting, somehow the defense bonus on shiv works really nicely that it doesn't get totally wrecked standing out in the open.
2 heavies
1 support assault sniper shiv usually my goto squad make up in successful games.

Dude fucking rookies. A full squad of them can't even take a small UFO that crash landed. You gotta put light plasma rifles and scopes on them to maybe hit.
I just lost my fuckin lieutenant assault best character that does the bulk of my killing and a support had 2 supports with suppression, none of my heavies are getting promoted past squaddie. I'm on the third month my vet is one of those supports and he's injured for most of the month, a sniper with squadsight and gunslinger, a squaddie heavy that just got promoted, and some rookies with no OCS built. I been winning strategically but I'm losing way too badly on the battles and might not make it through the rest of this month. Nexus and 5 satellites being constructed but no vets, mutons just showed up. Every fight I trigger up to a dozen aliens on the first or second turn a lot of the time it's damn floaters and the fuckers just keep doing that warp to flank I got no armor built another day for skel suits, 3 laser rifles. I'm about ready to start another classic iron man game because I'm so fucked right now with these rookies.

xcom heist and abduction missions are an actual thing in OG xcom: if you don't have a good squad to destroy an alien base you can send a single rookie called "big boss" and a dog to kidnap the first alien you see and then run away, there is no penalty for aborting the mission
>>
>>323042280

Well, the optimal strategy for bases is to not destroy them at all, and simply farm them for resources. Come in, wreck shop on some ayys, take their bodies and blaster launchers and peace out. Wait until they replenish the base and do it again. Repeat until you need a rating boost.

Nah, your fine. Just too bad about the continent bonus.

No, it's not a bad thing, it's going to happen.
On higher difficulty rush towards laser weapons and skellington armor.

>>323043006

Not really. You can lose a lot of countries and win in EW.

Just try to rush satellites as quickly as you can. That's the only real strategy here. That's how you control panic.

Satellites and Lasers. That's pretty much all you need to know.
