How do I access the DLCs?

[Fetito Fazzito]

How do I access the DLCs? I have the expansion installed.

Does the game tell me that it's a "Alien Hunters" / "ADVENT’s “Lost Towers” facility"-mission? Does the game tell me that it's a DLC mission?

Thats why its called Read first :)

I have read that, but that does not answer my question: Are both special missions marked ingame as DLC missions? How do I know that it's a special mission and not a "standard" facility?

When you not Integrate you have to know its the DLC Missions. I mean they are way different. Theres no "Marker" that says "This is DLC". But you should know cause of the Story.

Ok thanks. So what are the names of the story DLC missions? (I am not at home right now and cannot check ingame).

Uhm dont know if they had specific Mission name before you making it.
Mission names itself are normally random generated.

The Nest and The Tower, if you have the DLC integrated they will not show up. You have to scan the dowed skyranger to get the nest to show up and scan the tower to get that mission.

Thank you! At what time of the game can I scan the dowed skyranger? Is it random?

PS: I still have two Chosen Ones left to kill.

They both show up in the first month or two. If they didn't you chose to Integrate DLC, which is likely since it's the default.

For the missions to show up you need to untick the integrate DLC option, and make sure the two missions are ticked.

If you are already at the point were you killed a chosen you are long past that point, I assume you have the DLC integrated.

Alien Hunters adds 3 boss aliens and some cool unique weapons and armor. Shen's Last Gift adds a new playable class. Depending on whether you are playing WotC or not, and whether you have the missions enabled when you start a new game, you get these things differently.
The Nest is the Alien Hunter's mission, enabling it will introduce you to the AH story. First you'll get a scan site of a crashed skyranger from the first war, scanning it will give you the new weapons. Then you'll get a broadcast from someone we all are familiar with, and that will generate the Nest mission. After that, the rulers can appear randomly on any mission at any time as long as they live. Killing them will get you unique armors. If you disable it, you'll get the weapons but not the mission, and the rulers can appear at any time.
Lost Towers is the mission from SLG which introduces you to the new class, the SPARKS. Once you complete the mission you can make your own SPARKs, and there are no further missions. Disabling this mission will let you build SPARKs as soon as you build the Proving Grounds and have the necessary resources.
In WotC, you get the option to "Integrate the DLCs", meaning the Rulers will guard specific alien facilities and you will be informed about them beforehand. If they escape, they will then appear randomly every few missions until killed. The weapons and the SPARKs will be added as Proving Grounds projects. Disabling DLC integration and enabling the missions will revert to how it was in the base game.
Hope this answers all your queries..

If integrated or not you can easily see if you already have the weapons or can research them).
Same goes for the SPARK. If you can you never will see the Missions in this Playthrough.

The integrated option is activated.

So if I deactivate "integrated", the missions should pop up?

[Silverangel]

You must tick the DLCs then. Thats why i posted you the link. Stands all there...

Ya but that would require a new game. You cannot change that option mid-game.

You uncheck integration and make sure both boxes under it are checked.

[Fetito Fazzito]

Ok thank you! So why are the missions removed by default? Do they cause an imbalanced gameplay?
