How to hire new agents ?

[Ravagorn]

Hello !

ahh, xcom magic is back , thanks Firaxis o)

Well, to sum up my question :
Soon in the game, you need people to craft, and at least 4 people in the truck.
If one is hurted, tha gent is busy several days.

SO, how to hire some new one ?
I got one, at the tuto, but then ?

Thanks o)

Progress the story.

[PlevisVesel]

You can't hire generic recruits like in the previous games.
Now you are offered a recruit while you progress through the story. And they're not generic, they're already specialized.

There is no injury time. Well not a real one but if you get heavily injured to get scars that reduce your stats that take like 2 days of training to remove. Game gives them to you after story missions. It'll tell you when you can recruit more.

Thanks guys o)))

I hope we don't have to wait to the last part of the story, to hire the last 11th recruit... I want to enjoy the full team as long as possible.

it seems you get offered if you dont mess it up?
I just clicked on the agent checking area and it gave me a free agent- so- poggers.

i think they said you can only get 8 in a playthrough or something, im sure someone will mod it though

You get your 5th agent the first time you enter the armory(I think that is what its called). Other comes as you play the game

Oh really? :-( There is a cap of 8 characters in a run?!
Is that sure? I want to have the 11...

[TheRandomGuy]

You get them as you do missions to progress the story.

You can get 8 out of 11. You're limited to 4 in a squad, and most of the time you'll have 2-3 of them benched doing Spec-Ops (basically Covert Ops from XCOM 2), Training, or Assembly Projects (Research).

After 9 hours in-game I've kinda just stuck to the squad that works and not really deviated from it unless anyone gets scarred and needs to fix their wounds in training.

[Athyl]

Oh... :-( That's not a good point.
That means that during the entire campaign, 3 characters will be unusable. Kinda frustrating. I would have liked to try every character without having to play multiple campains.
Bad point...

There is already a mod to bypass the limit.

[Athyl]

I'm not used to installing mod. Always afraid about unofficial stuffs. ^^

[jweller12]

there is a mod for that.

[Blaze]

Being wary of unofficial stuff is always fair. Just keep in mind though, they openly endorsed it by providing the tools used to make those mods in the first place, for both this and XCOM2. So go browse the Workshop, and see if there's anything that appeals!

Just be aware, the game's barely been out for a day, so Chimera Squad mods won't be terribly plentiful or complex yet.
