XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen, is the expansion to the 2016 award-winning strategy game of the year.
XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen adds extensive new content in the fight against ADVENT when additional resistance factions form in order to eliminate the alien threat on Earth. In response, a new enemy, known as the “Chosen,” emerges with one goal: recapture the Commander. This expansion includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay.
NEW FACTIONS & HERO CLASSES
Three additional factions have emerged to strengthen Earth's resistance - the Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars - each with its own unique abilities and contrasting philosophies. These factions provide powerful hero class soldiers to aid in missions and new opportunities for the strategy layer.
THE CHOSEN
The Chosen are the most cunning enemies XCOM has ever faced, each with unique strengths and weaknesses that will be introduced with each new campaign. The Chosen are on the hunt for the Commander and will kidnap, interrogate, and kill XCOM’s soldiers to complete their objective. The Chosen can also invade the strategy layer and ravage XCOM’s global operations. Find and raid the Chosen’s strongholds to defeat the enemy for good.
NEW ALIEN & ADVENT THREATS
A deadly new alien known as the Spectre, capable of creating dark copies of XCOM soldiers, has snuck onto the battlefield. Adopt new tactics to counter it as well as the explosive attacks of the ADVENT Purifier and the psionically charged ADVENT Priest.
NEW ENVIRONMENTS AND MISSION OBJECTIVES
Engage in tactical missions across new environments from abandoned cities devastated by alien bioweapons during the original invasion, to underground tunnels and xenoformed wilderness regions.
ENHANCED STRATEGY LAYER
Manage XCOM’s relations with factions and counter The Chosen’s operations from the Avenger. Employ new Resistance Orders to prioritize your personal strategy. Soldiers, scientists, and engineers can now be deployed for Covert Actions that award supplies and boost faction favor if successfully completed.
GREATER CUSTOMIZATION & REPLAYABILITY
Soldiers can develop bonds with compatible teammates for new abilities and perks. The SITREP system dynamically adds new modifiers to the tactical layer to make sure every mission provides a unique challenge. Advanced campaign options allow for finer adjustments to game length and difficulty.
CHALLENGE MODE
Utilize the perfect strategy in new regular one-shot community challenges to claim the top spot on the global leaderboard.
SHARE THE RESISTANCE
Customize and pose your soldiers, then add filters, text and backgrounds to generate your own unique resistance posters that appear in-game and can be shared with friends.
XCOM 2: The Story So far - Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet's last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.
Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.

Let's be honest TapCat, this series is now XCOM 2: War of the Lost; featuring special guests ADVENT and The Chosen.
Go get 'em Commander!
True
*On the way to the mission in the Skyranger*
Marina: 😮💨
Ross: "Whats wrong Marina?"
Marina: "We keep having to fight The Lost, its hard to get hyped about these missions, how do Reapers deal with it?"
Ross: "Mostly by tricking them into attacking Advent."
Marina: "No I mean the lack of enthusiasm?"
Ross: "Well usually someone with say something inspiring before a mission"
Marina: "Like what?"
*Ross looks around seeing the look of fatigue on everyone's face*
Ross: "Something like this-"
*Ross stands up*
Ross: "Attention gentleman, and Marina-"
Marina: 😁
*The squad sits up and gives Ross their full attention*
Ross: "We’re all very different people. We’re not Watusi. We’re not Spartans. We’re XCOM, with a capital ‘X’, you know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We’re the underdog. We’re mutts! Here’s proof-"
*Rubs XQS6's nose*
XQS6: 😵💫
Ross: "His nose is cold-"
Marina: "-What does that have to do with-"
*Ross continues*
Ross: "-But there’s no animal that’s more faithful, that’s more loyal, more loveable than the mutt."
XQS6: "I don't get it?"
Marina: "He means we are all different, right?"
Ross: "Yes, we're all very different but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to enlist in the XCOM. We’re mutants. There’s something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us - we’re soldiers. But we’re XCOM soldiers!"
XQS6: "Ross is right, we are XCOM, the enemy should fear us!"
Marina: "YAY!" 😄
*The squad stands and cheers while the Skyranger door opens*
Ross: "Now do what I do, and say what I say. And make me proud!"💪
I always find that Advent can find the Reaper a little too easily when you go back into shadow, makes you wonder 🤔
I love this game its so much fun playing, but for some reason I love watching Tapcat playing it even more.
It's always funny going back and forth between episodes, where Tapcat and Syken are both wanting to make contact with regions in opposite directions for separate reasons. The struggle between getting access to a facility or unlocking a continent bonus. Great run so far!
Imagine TapCat playing a mission without the lost lol, the game is really trying to make you suffer
Who would have imagined such a thing could even happen?!?
The seventh season of Lost is quite different than the show I remember.😂
Where are Jack and Kate when we need them?
Maybe its time to make the lost beacon!
Hmm, better late than never I suppose. ;)
Looks like the gods have relented somewhat; that struck me as being the most TapCat friendly mission I've seen on this campaign. Well done and good vid
I agree. It wasn't like it was easy, but it felt like it was more possible to manage the encounter even though all of the enemies were pretty well stacked on top of each other. We also had a bit of luck that they stopped firing at the device after a certain point.
You can make headshot with Run and Gun unless one of the mods have changed it.
I was almost certain that it would work, but appreciate you confirming. As it turned out, moving there would have been disastrous once I decided to use a grenade so it was a non-issue for this mission.
Funny how tapcat and syken prioritise things differently. That way each episode is unpredictable!
RNGesus blessed you today, Tap
My ritual sacrifices are finally paying off!
TapCat is a G
MEC is the one that unlocks bluescreen, but Muton also unlocks advanced grenade launcher, which is not dependent on proving grounds so there is at least a half-step upgrade from it.
Good call, I forgot all about the grenade launcher.
At least the chosen decided to stay home on this one 😀
I'm grateful for that. This mission would have been a whole different experience if the Warlock had showed up.
TapCat has reached the level of Scholar when it comes to The Lost.
And I got my degree from the school of hard knocks!
I’m ready 👌🏼
FINALLY I have some time to go back and catch up. (Had to make corrections on my book.)
A fun mission, but... Man, you really screwed over that sniper. Not the best of placements, was it? :) I am wondering, would it have gone smoother had you drawn him further down towards the centre of the bridge He would have had an ideal vantage point and, with bracing, could have made things easier. (Still, the Lost actually helped you here, the drew a lot of ADVENT fire away from you and the gizmo.)
I remember yesterday I was doing the Black site mission and I had a Reaper scout out a pack of 3 and I had my sniper shoot at the pack from squadsight... And guess what. The first advent "accidentally" walked 3 tiles away from my Reaper and didn't reveal. Then the second advent walked 2 tiles away and didn't reveal. Third guy finally walked right next to and revealed my Reaper. This was in the OPPOSITE direction of where my squad was in a place where there's just no way they would know... But the games know 😂
*37 Lost come into the fray.
Tapcat: "I'm not worried about them".
What a Legend.
