Any mods to make the game little easier?

[wowcoh56]

Just curious, I like to take my time and enjoy a game. I played the first game and it was fun but I keep hearing this one is much harder. Is there any mods which allow you to play on a "easy" level? (less penalties etc... for messing up)

Pick easy difficulty. The game actively cheats for you even on Veteran.

If you beat Eu/EW you will do fine in 2.

And lastly yes there are mods to make this even easier but at that point it may as well be point and click. I wouldn't recommend getting them.

Instead just enjoy the challenge and you will get better and eventually win. The game is designed to be that way.

The ones commonly used to decrease difficulty are to slow/remove the avatar project timer or to change mission timers to be longer, wait until after concealment ends, or remove them completely.

However, I urge you to at least try the game without modding the difficulty first. The game's easier in some ways than EU was, it's mostly a matter of enemies being harder when you don't know what they do.

truth is I dont want to die lol. I made myself into a sniper last game and never died, I heard its almost impossible to not die in this one

The tip I can give to help avoid death is this: this game is not EU. If you're getting into a shootout with the enemy you're going to have a bad time. Blow them up.

I found EW far far tougher than 2 and WotC made it even easier. So find out for yourself.

EW had mimetic skin though. Any difficulty after that's unlocked is basically because you choose to make it harder by not abusing it.

Increase your squad size without increasing the enemy pod size. That or download a few custom classes without downloading any enemy classes.

I'm definatly not going to say it was easy, but I've gotten through commander difficulty ironman without losing a soldier. With skill it's doable with minimal deaths, though probably not on your first time through. Once "you" have ranked up a bit "your" survivability will go way up. And I'm not putting you down for making yourself an avatar, I do the same thing myself.

What most people say here to try the game first without mods to make it easier is a good idea.

But if are still thinking of buying the game or not because of difficulty, then fear not... there is options in WotC expansion to make it easier in some aspects and if those are not enught then yes there is mods to make it even easier.

When i first started with xcom2 i did go right for ironman, but as this game is a "learn as you go" type. I would recomend to just play without mods and save scum unless you want to restart 50+ times as you learn the game in ironman.

Best would be to just save before each mission and if it goes bad then just restart.
