@@InsaneFrame wise choice !! As always...
@@k0opler153 Obviously he is cheating. You are fool if you believe this video is legit.
Almost every enemy attack is missing 😂
And didn't miss a single shot.
@@indiankid8601 To provide a little fun fact: the only way to avoid cheating is to play on Legend difficulty because the game itself cheats in your favor on every other difficulty. Among the things the game does is increase your hit chance when you have less than four soldiers on the field, and decrease the enemy's hit chance under that same condition with all of that being invisible, and the enemies get more debuffed and you get more buffed the less soldiers you have, so if you have one soldier the game believes you're in an extremely terrible position and needs to take it easy on you and thus it helps you. The game actively deceives you on everything except Legendary, but does so by favoring you. As seen at the beginning, the run is played on Veteran difficulty, in which those buffs and debuffs are applied, as well as the enemy's accuracy getting worse when you're hit, your accuracy getting multiplied by 1.1, your accuracy getting improved if you miss a shot above 50%, etc. Essentially, yes, there is cheating, but by the game because it sees there's one soldier on the field and so tips the scales to be more in favor of the player.
@@indiankid8601 He repeatedly stated he could retry all missions from the start (and admitted the assassin fortress took him 7 tries). Obviously, he didnt include the failed attempts.
So little known fact about xcom. Your crew gets an unseen buff when you have less than 3 members on the team. hence the storm trooper training
fewer *
What is the buff?
@@demonmonsterdave ?
@@danielm.595 It's English language. Don't worry about it.
@@demonmonsterdave Was that correction really necessary? Both are valid ways of articulating the same information…
48 minutes in before you start researching the skulljack, quite the intense start
I know first time for everything!
@@InsaneFrame such as one of the best youtubers actually replying to me, you're awesome please keep up the great work
@@ruthlesace your more than welcome the least I could do for your kindness :)
This is basically humanity pulling a war of the chosen and just making one chosen
Yes... Xcom hero vs Alien chosen (legion of doom)
I didn't expect to enjoy an hour long challenge video about XCOM 2, but watching this has made me literally turn on my computer and purchase XCOM 2 because of how much I enjoyed your video. Keep making quality content
Dude thats the highest level compliment thankyou so much I hope you enjoy xcom 2 as much as you enjoyed the video :)
Also , play it with war of the chosen it makes it a lot better.
It's a great game, good choice. I've put hundreds of hours into the long war mod.
Welcome to the Resistance, bud! We'll see you again when you resurface sometime after New Years.
Check The Drifter's Broadcast; Hour+ X-Com Challenges is his bread and butter.
Man, budget cuts be hittin' everywhere don't they?
Yeah think xcom need a proper base!
Truly the only COVID safe mission strat
@@koseorhun The Avatar Commander even has a mask
8:50 pretty sure the reason the mind control was resisted was because you only have that 1 unit. If it got mind controlled you'd auto-lose the mission. Nothing ever resists Warlock's mind control from my own experience.
There is a small chance but its in the single digits I know that much in other words the xcom gods favoured our sniper boy!
In war of the chosen, the warlock has 40 psi strength and +75% base chance
So for a soldier with 30 will remaining, it would be a 85% chance to mind control
Same thing for advent priests but sectoids have 80 psi (unless playing on rookie) so they're a 100% hit
I lost a mission once because all my units died and the final one got mind controlled by a sectoid, instantly ending the mission. I don’t know if you get an extra hidden resistance to mind control if you only have one troop, though.
That gatekeeper just loosing it's mind after the avatar just fail that mind control and teaching him a lesson
honestly getting that final hit from a gatekeeper!?! my mind went insane when i played it
Imagine the gatekeeper denying the last kill
And this is the story of John Wick in XCOM 2.
Renau Keeves cannot be contained in one game he must also kill aliens!!!
@@InsaneFrame A Tier Spiffing Brit reference lmao, I instinctively read this in his voice "It's renu Keeves Ladies and Gebtlemen!
as someone with few rare achievements for Xcom2 WOTC and more then few hundreds hours of game play under my belt, I'm astonished and jealous of your skill, sure have to try this one on my own. Well played mate!
Its a tough old slog but thankyou very much :D
He is cheating. All enemy attacks are missing him and he didn't miss single attack. Hunter never misses track shot.
You are a fool if you cannot see through.
@@indiankid8601 It's called editing, otherwise the video would be 91 hours long. He is allowing himself to repeat missions from the mission selection screen, as stated at 1:00.
He gets hit plenty of times and misses a few times. You can improve aim by using scopes, getting a personal mod with +aim and doing covert ops to increase aim. And a very experienced player knows how and where to pull mobs to sail through the game. Finally, if he's playing on Rookie, it'll be easier too. It looks like he's playing on Veteran difficulty which still has a 10% bonus to aim and improved chance to hit after a miss.
@@donkeysunited see you say it's editing but anyone who doesn't cheat will put at least some points on where they died and had to restart the mission or anything that would cause that. Through the whole hour long video he doesn't restart a mission once even tho he says he does
@@dvader2004 You're seeing the missions that succeeded. It took him 91 hours to play that campaign.
The Assassin drops in on that Blacksite mission and just hits us with that, "He is here, I can sense it."
I'm 15 minutes in and I already can't believe how many lucky misses you got lol.
Not to deminish your achievement or anything, you absolutely need luck to pull off a run like this!
Its a buff you get for taking a smaller squad for lower difficulties although commander difficulty and above it doesn't apply
@@InsaneFrame I see, I didn't know that!
@@InsaneFrame I actually didn't know that because I never played the game below Commander.
You need luck to win XCOM even normally. XCOM became notorious as the game where you can still miss 99% shots.
@@brothersandsistersofvalhalla It wouldn't MEAN 99% if you didn't still miss those shots some of the time. I think one of the things about Xcom which really messes with people's heads is that it actually gave HIDDEN buffs to your aim after a miss on, I believe, the first two difficulty settings, and this actually re-enforces the gambler's fallacy, the idea that your odds of success go up after a failure... like the belief that a coin flip will be more likely to turn up heads if the last three flips came as tails. So, when people first start playing on the higher difficulty settings where there are no hidden buffs to your odds of success after you fail, they are prone to start thinking that the game is rigged against them.
This video is absolutely incredible. From start to finish, and the amount of work that's clearly went into it too is crazy! Thumbs up, subscribed and in awe =]
Thankyou so much it was extremely tough to do but it was well worth it :)
I always knew the xcom team was just a Sharpshooter delivery system, but this is something else.
Spartans and Vikings would cower in fear at this dude. You basically created Masterchief here.
Honestly, I find the XCOM content here to be among my favourite and I could watch anything made for the game, especially with you music choices, as they are what I use for my own projects
You make it looks so fun, maybe I gotta try the XCOMs.
Thanks very kind of you to say
How did you find this video if you don’t mind me asking? If you’ve never played xcom?
That sniper is basically a western protagonist in a sci-fi setting, hot damn
you know it man clint eastwood would be proud :)
I played Chimera Squad first and had no idea the previous version of the game was so much more complex. Now I see your video I'm absolutely amazed that it's possible to win with 1 guy. I'm definitely struggling and I think it's because I'm trying to use too many different people at once, with too many different abilities, and I don't know how to use any of them very well. It's overwhelming but I love it. Your video has opened my eyes to a whole new world! Thank you!
Just keep trying, you got this! It definitely takes quite a bit of time to get used to all of the skills, but I would still recommend you try to keep a variety in your squads.
I can not fathom the amount of tries this must have taken. Amazing video as always!
5 campaign attempts, total of 91 hours total, successful campaign 51 hours :)
@@InsaneFrame My man needs his mediciation
@@InsaneFrame good god man. 91 hours total? Holy shit man. God fucking speed man
if there's anything good about xcom2, xcom1, fallout 3, and fallout new vegas runs its that we dont have to worry about that dastardly kellogg cornflakes stealing our precious potato
Yes alien invasion or kellog kornflakes... ill go with the alien invasion :)
Well bloody done, Commander! That was insanely intense and a brilliant watch.
Would love to see you do something like this in XCOM: Chimera Squad, if possible! Can't think of any specific challenge since I haven't played it in an age, but any excuse to see more XCOM goodness from you.
Incredible run, I've tried with willpower/tiredness disabled, but you did it totally vanilla.
Yeah it does make the run harder as when the soldier breaks you got to make a call of recovering or dealing with it very intresting mechanic
Love these challenges, and this one in particular seemed like a real challange. Cheers mate
This was excellent, thanks for sharing this man! I admire the dedication. Keep up the good work and God bless :)
Got another 2 runs coming :)
Definitely a marathon of a challenge but sipping that tea right about now!
what was it that fish once said.
Just keep running, just keep running, running running ming
Yeah that's the quote right?
Still a great video!
Xcom 2: Sniper Elite Edition
You know it :)
Love the tempo in your editing and commentary, the speed of it especially
I did not even realize that I had watched an hour long video. Incredibly entertaining well done!
Wow thankyou so much thats a huge compliment and can only say thankyou for watching and being an amazing person :3
Enjoyed the video. Can't believe you do a run-through of a version of the game you haven't played...
Love your H's btw :)
This just seems like a Drifter's Broadcast challenge from hell
Yeah the early game is not ideal especially with a sharpshooter...
i love the Getekeeper betrayal.
Wow! Awesome job! Thanks for the video.
When I watched your Xcom-2 run, the first thing I thought was he won't be able to do this in Wotc because you get locked in the end room so no running away which is how I beat the original game too, as I felt that last room was death, if you stayed in it.
Really well done man. Just an incredible run. I always found the assassin the hardest chosen to deal with too.
Congratulations on this fantastic achievement 😀
(You and The backlogs inspired me to go back and do a one soldier run of 'Enemy Within' and I achieved it yesterday. The base defense was by far the hardest thing. I'll have to jump back into Wotc now and try this) 😀
Sharpshooters are amazing ngl. And this challenge just shows why you should not neglect the Sharpshooter Class in this game.
Havent played this gamein years. Thank to this video i got hyped to play again.
Oh damn I'm late this time... However I'm allredy excited for the video!
Thanks Mr. Frame.
Your very welcome Sean K :)
I do not believe the enemies missed that many times during early game. That's just unnatural.
You are incredibly lucky, my dear fellow.
I will admit the early game is luck based and the amount of retries from the map selection oh boy it was difficult!
@@InsaneFrame ah I see. I appreciate the response.
I was on the development team for XCOM 2, and I swear I never beat XCOM 2 before... and still trying.
Yes, I know... I suck at games...
Still glad that you like our game.
Thankyou for such an amazing game it's such a gem :)
Well done Commander. That was impressive.
these videos are entertaining. the number of enemy misses sure is sus though.. I get them missing my guys every now and then, but damn, this run would have ended many times over if he didnt get 3+ low to no cover misses in a single mission multiple times lol.
Its actually due to a mechanic which if you take less soldiers the enemy get -10 aim penalty (on veteran difficulty) on commander difficulty though it doesn't carry over
Having perfect information would be really interesting to see what the hitchances were. Definitely veteran difficulty helping out massively here
@@InsaneFrame thats interesting I didnt know, thanks for the info
Im really enjoying this guy. As a kid who grew up playing XCOM, its really cool that I found someone that challenges themselves with it.
Got alot of challenges to go :)
Well done mate. Hell of a video as well.
Thankyou was definitely a marathon
Great video! I love to watch.
Thankyou for watching buddy hugely appreciate it :)
Loved watching this.
WOTC is amazing. Nice video mate.
It'd be interesting to see this kind of challenge with the 3 resistance factions (the templars, the skirmishers and the other one).
The 3 factions are included in class our roster so they'll have their moment to shine :)
I must say, I love xcom, but I could never do this. Bravo to you mate
Thankyou :)
Heey Amazing vid❤
Keep it rollin
Thankyou unsure about the length but wanted to make up for last vid
I like the xcom vids they’re a nice change.
Cheers man :)
This and the fact I got the xcom 2 collection for 5$ is why I got this game
Thats a absoulte bargin :)
I love game pass I mean 95% of on a 100$ game? Yes please
I just got into this game and am slowly becoming addicted.
This is just insane. GG
Well done!
oh shit you actually did it
it took alot of effort but we got that victory :)
@@InsaneFrame i left comments showing concerns about the assassin chosen in the prequel video, which turned out to be true, but you pulled it off anyways. it actually inspired me to start my own one man run
This video was pretty sharp
I can't imagine doing this with any other class than the reaper 😂
Have done this with a reaper its... intresting
What a job! Excellent work. I would not have dreamed it could be done.
This is madness !
i'm back as promised. you're a beast at this game lol
No worries and thankyou!
I wanna think of an intense fallout challenge. I know I haven't commented lately. I go to school today, its 1:30 AM. Maybe when I'm back! Glad to see more uploads, even if I don't know the game
appreciate you coming in and study hard buddy :)
@@InsaneFrame woop woop, getting my grind on
Bradford's early morning workout cracked me up
You might remember my criticism from your last video. And, honestly? Night and day improvement. Already your commentary has vastly improved and I'm really excited to see what you can do in the years to come.
Nice 2 subscribers you’ve got there
@@TheDangerZone86 I'm surprised I have that many considering I've never posted a video.
@@TheDangerZone86 and boy you're sitting at 35 what's your excuse
Brilliant.
what a hero
If you colorcode your soldier you can just eyeball your class soldier without checking names.
Yellow: sniper
Blue: specialists
Purple: genadiers
Red: rangers
This is my setup. Quality of life imo. Easy to have an eye of who is where.
Think xcom does a good job but I do like your system its pretty cool 😎
@@InsaneFrame having a birdseye view of the battlefield without checking soldiers is easier. Also you can position your soldiers much easier with this. Purple middle for aggro or flanks for fire support. Yellow with 100+ aim with sniper support who never moves etc. Saves a lot of time.
Even watching this, I cannot fathom how this is possible….
Oh, look, return fire actually doing something!
did you ever consider running a compensator? I know it's not exactly the greatest attachment out there but it's how I defeated the avatar that turn after it spawned, in one hit, with a mag sniper.
Hmmmm 3 in the morning and an hour long xcom challenge sleep can wait haha
Damn hardcore man fair play!
anyone else notice how one of his reapers was named Alfred Pennyworth aka Batman's butler/assistant
"Gun and Run"
That would actually be implacable xD
56:15 please, what music are play from this time? I heard it so much but cant recognize where are it from!
Seeing you ignore mag pistol was so painful.
But chosen pistol! 😌
Massively underrated
Kinda ironic that the solo challenge ends with accidental friendly fire.
that. was. epic.
The answer to ur question...Yes i can. Its hardwork but Yes i did, in legend too....but not in vanilla [wid 304 mods]. And its Marksman there instead of Sharpshooter. Anyway congratz to u too as well.
blooming heck thats impressive fair play you have my respect nervous to try commander let alone legendary!
Hi, I got a question. I've never played xcom game before. Isit worth to buy it on mobile ?
FrassE not Frass! ^^ nice vid! miss this game, might pick it up again :)
I would love to see this in legend :)
Going to do something in legendary difficulty :)
@@InsaneFrame thats going to be fun
My friend attempted (twice) solo ranger run. (Without watching anyone do solo runs too). Sad thing. In both runs game freezes after he tries to destroy avatar project facility. Anyone knows how to fix it? There must be some pattern if it happened to times in a row.
Its ammazing !!!
Idk how to play but this is gonna be legendary some day. Ill try it if i beat the game once
Good luck remember each soldier is precious and action economy wins xcom
@@InsaneFrame thank you
@@katama4843 no worries man glad your trying out xcom :)
@@InsaneFrame you are the very first youtuber i saw to answer to any comment TWICE
Damn I love his voice :D
Nice video mate. Must have took ages to make
indeed it did but got to say it was a heck of alot of fun!
This is such a stupid idea.
"watches the entire video"
Amazing. Absolutely. Amazing.
You are extremely kind sir thankyou (currently working on solo ranger)
@@InsaneFrameyou are very welcome. Never tried a sniper with this build. Need to give it a whirl now.
I never really liked the sniper class in Xcom 2. I got to the point where I was able to beat the game at ironman/impossible, and I was still avoiding using snipers as much as possible, and I would tend to treat them as the most expendable members of the squad when I did have to use them. They could be really useful for destroying turrets with squad-sight, but that was the only major use I found for them until they could get enough useful pistol skills to get their damage output up to a decent level. The support class I find to be pretty much the most valuable, with rangers and grenadiers both being generally better than snipers at dishing out damage. One of the things I love about rangers is how easy it is to get 100% chance hits with them, but another great thing about them is that the shard gun doesn't need to be researched separately, meaning that you can always get the shard gun before getting the upgraded guns for snipers or grenadiers. The shard gun upgrade also doesn't cost that much, so I like to rush toward getting the shard gun pretty early on.
Snipers in Xcom 1 could get extremely powerful, but I found Snipers in Xcom 2 to be really weak. The way their accuracy tails off at longer ranges just really hurts the utility of squad-sight. However, the pistol is more useful from the get-go, and I really do like the pistol specific skills, which are fun.
Sniper are all about damage and action economy they are seriously good :)
sharpshooters with the gunslinger tree are so powerful it's absurd
give em bluescreen rounds and they'll kill a sectopod in one turn
Oh yeah one thing I didn't put in the video is getting I kid you not 37 kills in one turn due serial being so broken with gunslinger perks and dark talon pistol is OP
Very good video
Thankyou :)
@@InsaneFrame Never expected a reply, I love your content. Keep up the amazing work
This was excellently done!
… one remark however, the “e” in the end of Swedish names are not silent. His name is more like “Frass-EH”. /A Swede
I wish I had this good rng in my games
I had some ideas for fallout 4 (if u haven’t already done them)
Can you beat fallout 4 with a mini gun
Can you beat fallout 4 as the minutemen general ( laser musket and minutemen generals uniform only. I’d allow the captains hat from far harbor as it has the same design)
And finally, can you beat fallout 4 as a railroad agent? (Deliverer, railroad coat once u can get it. Anything with ballistic weave until then, tinker Tom special, and a gauss rifle)
Can give the minigun run a go for sure :)
@@InsaneFrame I’d love to see it. The main problem I think the mini gun has is keeping up with its ammo consumption
This video was… *eggcelent*
perfection at its finest!
I refuse to believe this was a legit run because you actually landed your shots, even the point-blank ones (the hardest ones to hit).
Sharpshooters have high aim and pistols are a must early game
Mid to late game the sniper becomes more viable
Lucky!! 👏👏👏
LOL at that ending
Challange idea: beat Warhammer Chaosgate Deamonhunters with only apothecary
You know, I assumed it was impossible, but if you actually managed to take down the chosen Strongholds with a single soldier...
Do you think you can manage an unmodded Legendary Beta Strike Grim Horizon WOTC run? Using a full team, obviously, because the doubled health on everything makes the Sarcophagi backed up by reinforcements genuinely impossible for a single soldier. Since you could handle the base version with batman here, the full Justice League in your hands may well be able to keep up with the double health reinforcements and Chosen to wear down the coffin's 160 HP.
On legendary it would be possible but it'd be a war of attrition so would require a very different strategy what i did here wouldn't work on legendary
