Did youtube just randomly recommend me Spiff's brother? I mean, I like it, XCOM challenge runs are fun as hell. I'm just surprised I was dropped into someone (else) casually saying "I love Yorkshire Tea" out of nowhere. I even did a double take to make sure there was no stockphoto going alongside that line.
100% This guy's content isn't bad but it is borderline identity theft from the Spiffing Britt. That being said, Americans love hearing the accent and cheeky commentary so keep it up. I would recommend establishing your own punch lines and phrases that way you set yourself apart rather than sounding like an echo. Cheers mate and good luck
@justintibbetts9849 "Borderline identify theft" Or ya know, he's just British and likes a certain kind of tea like someone else. Because two people are similar doesn't mean one is stealing the other's identity.
@@Permafrost1 Apparently "ranger" is short for "CLOSE RANGE...R!?". Maybe that's why Bradford is a ranger. Also you just made me realize that name doesn't make much sense now lol. I never thought about it. But it makes sense since they were supposed to be your primary scouting unit, up until the DLC introduced Reapers.
This reminds me of my crazy ranger that went absolutely nuts in one of my playthroughs. They got Serial as a cross trained skill, and that allowed them to manage 22 kills in a single turn by running from pod to pod and deleting them with shotgun shots and blade kills (shotgun had the maxed out quick reload attachment), ending on dropping an Avatar with Rapid Fire. That turn is still the single most satisfying moment I've had in XCom 2 to date.
@InsaneFrame It's probably still the most broken combo I've come across in the game to date, since it lets you move to within point blank range after every single shot, so they're essentially pulling equilibrium gun kata as they dance around. Combine it with the axe to set up takedowns on heavier enemies you'd otherwise struggle to take out in one move and you can just keep ripping through them.
I have 13 hours in a game so far. How can you physically make 20 kills in one turn? Also, how can you mix abilities of the ame tier, for example conceal and run and gun?
@@elion4245 There's a cross training perk at the Major tier that allows for a Ranger that regains all action points on scoring a kill, which allows for use of the Ranger's ability to move and shoot with a shotgun to score multiple kills against relatively soft targets in quick succession. In that playthrough I also had the region bonus for max level weapon upgrades, and the shotgun being used was modded with an autoloader and expanded mags specifically for this interaction. So all combined I had a Ranger that was able to sprint, fire, get a kill and repeat until they ran out of targets to shoot, and that supported by a pair of snipers and Psi Troopers that were able to soften up hard targets for them to finish off. This combined with the way that the final mission spawns in packs during the avatar phase meant that there were a lot of soft targets grouped together, and you had the recipe for a single soldier that just mows through them all given that they had ~20 shots, a sword and an axe to toss around within that single crazy turn. Also, there was no training of abilities in the same tier from what I know. The Ranger had Shadowstep and not Conceal to deny reaction attacks
@@IainDoherty51 thanks for a good answer. I was able to advance in the game by now and I think somewhat approach the finale (judging by the upgrades) So, now I actually got that perk randomly on my best specialist. It all makes more sense now, especially considering how busted ranged single target damage is. To select ability like that ig you need WOTC campaign. I didn't want to do it as a first playthrough, to have a pure experience so later I will be able to tell what is a base game and what's not. Definitely will aim for 2 rangers on the team for a next playthrough, they are way too useful. How do you personally rank the classes, being much more experienced player? (i'm 20 hours in and so far I had experience like that: Ranger > Grenadier > Specialist > Sharpshooter)
I wonder how Ranger vs. Templar is going to compare. At first glance I thought this video would be quite hard, as I usually treat Templars as a straight upgrade to Rangers, but wow have I forgotten how broken many of the Ranger abilities are. No access to shredder and rapid fire is going to make it so much harder for them, even with the Templars ridiculous survivability and ghost. And many of their best abilities being random extras.
tbh I never understood why Templars are so much more popular than Rangers to most people. They say they're OP, but: - Can't solo a map w/ a templar (not easily at least), without dumping ability points into them or great random abilities - Any Ranger meanwhile is always top-tier. They can absolutely solo a map more than once on L/I, and they don't need much investment either
templars take a while to get started both with their resource meter as well as in terms of leveling meanwhile the rangers only downside is one they share with templars (unintentionally uncovering more alien patrols)
@@InsaneFrameI mean it does get countered by another enemy shooting you, but that implies that there is enough enemies in ranger for that to actually happen
Sorry for the late upload had an appointment to upgrade the internet that got mismanaged so had to upload the old fashioned way which took from monday till now so really sorry about that but the video is here! hope you all enjoy!!!
tried this today, good lord early game is super hard. tried a mission nearly 8 times w/ my corporal. wasn’t easy but got it eventually. you sir are a trooper!
I like how you do the same challenges as Drifter except you make them more interesting and challenging, and execute them with more style and less whining
Dude I loved your Sniper episode so I went to your channel and now watched this. These are so cool. I love watching you brag about how good you are at Xcom when I try so hard and just get dunked on constantly. I try so hard but just get trashed constantly. Maybe I can pick up a trick or two from you
number one tip is action economy what you can do in a turn and also focus on offensive upgrades first so when you get magnetic weapons then some predator armour for the extra item slot and you can be flexible form there :)
27:23 perfection. I got a good laugh from that. I've been thinking about getting back to this game as it definitely has been a minute, I might want to try this challenge. Been on a Skyrim binge as of late with a permadeath run, been at it for nearly a month in a half and had too many close calls. Also, beautiful mohawk, very majestic! Got my mercenary character in Skyrim rocking one too. I called him Mordus Kull, based off a fighting game for the N64 and his weapon his a Nordic Mace.
@@InsaneFrame Spiff is pretty hard to imitate. Harder still to emulate. You manage the latter pretty well. You don't quite have the voice for the former, but hey, I don't think the world could handle *two* of him.
Love your style of videos! It's far different to spiff, despite what several comments say. You've made references to the guy, not more. And yorkshire tea is no doubt the most superior of beverages.
@@InsaneFrame definitely, I watched it fully, and I will again, I love xcom and your challenges so I keep coming back to your videos every now and then.
U remind me of someone Who also loves Yorkshire tea Who also loves to be stupidly over powerd Who also refers to us as ladys and gentlemen Uve earnt urself a sub my friend well played sir well played 😂
2 minutes in when I'm typing this so be aware. As someone who just beat X2 with only rangers and rookies, I imagine you'll be stocking up on grenades or Armour-piercing/shred equipment to get through the middle to late game like I did but I'd love to see a different approach
Reactions to these be like.. Only 1 ranger in that game: 😁 Only one ranger in tower battles: 😓 Only one ranger in tdx: 😨 Only one ranger in destiny 2: 💀
I like to imagine this soldier was personally doing all the excavating, research, and engineering. Also you always have the most impressive challenge runs. If this was most people, I feel like they would've picked easy or normal difficulty with 1 soldier, but you went straight for the second hardest lmao. Did you at least allow yourself to restart a mission if the ranger died? The early/mid game sounds nearly impossible without it.
Funnily rarely if ever dies, injured yes but good positioning will prevent alot of damage As for restarting I do restart missions but it's from the map selection screen for 2 reasons 1. So I don't know the locations of the aliens 2. The map is different to keep myself and the aliens on an even footing (although sometimes the chosen spawn)
@@InsaneFrame Makes sense since it's sort of borderline save scumming. How many times did you have to restart? Also I've tried this same challenge on XCOM 1 on Classic, but with 2 soldiers. I consider myself pretty good at XCOM, knowing the ins and outs, even deathless solo'd Normal. Yet the first 4 months on Classic were ridiculously brutal even with 2 soldiers. Had to restart 2 missions.
Ok cool… thank you for responding! Is it worth buying the DLC, it seems to change loads including early stuff!! Or should I stick with vanilla and then dlc at a later date?
Can you do it with only squaddies? You would have to have at least one soldier level up but this soldier cannot be used for anything but covert ops once leveled
I decided that when I got this game, I hated it, couldn't understand the point, to be fair I was 7 and I did the same thing with dark souls 3, which we got because my mom thought it was darksiders 3, I got past Ludex Gundyr then couldn't get past the sword master. Then as a new person stuck in covid with nothing to do I decided to do as I did with dark souls, add a challenge to make it interesting! I was gonna get one person with savant and then go through the entire game with only that person, normal mode, save scumming as much as possible, got one, a red haired Australian ranger, forgot her name, but she was awesome. Bunch of stuff happened during that run, got assassin first and then in a very hard fought sword duel, managed to kill her, then the warlock and finally my nemesis the hunter, who I beat, then somehow revived in response to me rescuing a great spy operative from one of his prisons, all this in the snake king armor (grappling hooks are the best). I like to think that after the game ended she had a nemesis relationship with the hunter and fought him for the rest of her life, but became friends somewhere along the way and now they hunt aliens together. When all is said in done, I still don't get the game, but I have quite the appreciation for it now, this brought back good memories, thanks! PS sorry if this is weirdly worded or hard to read
Great content but I find the "poundland spiffing brit" performance a little grating. It's unflattering and I hope you can develop your own style before too long.
Are you a friend of Spiff's? If you don't have permission from him then you might want to be careful about using his character. If you start getting more views then it may result in problems for you.

But to be fair spiff would be proud 😂 afterall he is incredibly overpowerd
I always love throwing my ranger with Bladestorm into a massive group of enemies and just hacking and slashing
it does destroy lots of aliens very quickly!

it's tough as nails early game is hard and then when armoured enemies show up its pretty tactical
Love to see an xcom challenge run. Good to see you're back in your stride too man.
Thanks man it took a while but I'm back
Always good to watch IF teach aliens some manners!
They must learn manners yet they never do!
I like how you do the same challenges as Drifter except you make them more interesting and challenging, and execute them with more style and less whining
I personally like both creators' videos very much. Different personalities in my opinion make their videos so unique!
It'll be a great Thursday with a fresh Insane Frame video.
Thank you Insane Frame!
No problem it is a pleasure 😊

Yeah we can make that happen certainley
Man, seeing this video in my subscription feed instantly made my day
Excellent Snapwillpop glad to hear hope you enjoy the video you are amazing :)
Same for me
Each of you videos adds like 3 weeks to my lifespan
Hope your doing well buddy!
I have done this with a Ranger too. I am always astounded at how broken Rangers are in this game. Amazing vid as always!
Welcome back goofy goober good to see you yeah they have some amazing perks for sure with the best synergy too!

11:43 that viper just wanted to strech a bit. Also this gives a good view on how long they are, probably about 4.3 meters if i had to guess.

Just tried to get back to Xcom after a year and failing to do so because god rng hates me. This gives me confidence lmao, thanks😂
sometimes xcom just says no... but you do get instances especially with perks and skills were xcom opens the door for you
my man did the thing finally. sweet
of course matt the ranger is pretty darn good!
I once had a Ranger with both Serial and Reaper. Now they were a one man army and then some

Red is the leader hence decided to give it to him its also a hellboy reference 😉
