Mod Must-haves recommendations

[Ren Stoker]

First off, let me say that before I had a gaming laptop, I bought and played this game on the Switch. It was hellish; but I was addicted to this game. Now that it's on sale, I am buying it again, but I don't know exactly what mods to download or what DLCs are worth trying. I am open to any suggestions. Now, if there is a mod to fix the percentage chance of hitting enemies and visa versa (because you can still miss, even at point-blank or if they are out in the open, but enemies can still hit you all the time), I would love to know that one.

If on sale, just grab all the DLCs, the only bad one is also the one that will be dirt cheap.

Point blank is meaningless, combat is a numbers game and being close is just a +10% to hit if you are face to face. That number falls off the further away you get.
The game already modifies the rolls ->in your favor<- on all but the highest difficulty without telling you.

It's not a question of "will you hit?", it's a question of "what's your backup plan if you miss?".

TL:DR. No such mod exists.

As to the ones that do.

Top of the list are these two. If you plan to go modding then these are mods that exist solely to help your game run better when modded.

Sparks are great, this makes them awesome.

No barracks is complete without at least one or two people with this voice pack.
This looks like a job for ambassador pineapple!

If lost are a pain in the ass, this is the pain killer. Also setting the warlock on fire never gets old.

Concealment is potent, but can get really annoying at times. This helps counter that annoyance.

Double agents are fun, until you realise there's only the two possibilities that can turn up. This makes them fun again.

Hacking can be fun, but only normally when it works. This makes it so even if it fails you still get a little something to help make more likely to work next time. The more they try, the ever better they get.

A good little class that finds its place in with the default four while offering it's own flavor on things.

Sometimes it makes the game easier, sometimes it makes it harder. But either way, it always makes the later game far more interesting.

I think this Collection is a great baseline of mods

I also started on console and then went straight into modded play when I got a PC. I started by going through the Core Collection, that has all the essentials for UI, bug fixes, and quality of life. I don't use anywhere near all of them, but I use a lot.

If you want to switch up the tactical layer a bit, I recommend A Better Advent - more variety to the enemies, makes the late game more challenging, changes up the AI to be a bit less predictable. Top of the line mod, I use it always.

If you want to change up the strategy layer but not ready for full long-war shenanigans, I recommend Covert Infiltration.

Then to add a little variety to your troops, I used Not Created Equal - this makes it so rookies have slightly different starting stats.

Christopherodd has a great Compilation of mods and he does a new playthrough of Xcom2 every year with an updated mod list

I use abut 90% of the mods on that list. Just a heads up, especially if you are not a veteran at Xcom2, many of the new enemy mods are great ( even on his list) but some of the endgame enemy mods can make the game very brutal. I would recommend holding off on adding new enemies to the game until you have a few campaigns under your belt. I have had a several campaigns scrapped due to hitting one overpowered End game enemy to early in the campaign. I would also suggest looking into class and perk mods after becoming familiar with the game. With the right class mods and perks, you can turn your squad into your own custom classes. All that said, it sounds like you might already have enough experience to try some of these mods out.
