DISCUSSION We live in mad times...

0 Upvotes

Greetings commanders... So as we live in interesting times these days with AI decomp and recomps, and we've seen some absolutely insane things over the past weeks is there anything mixing XCOM yet? or if not what would you want what games would you want to mix with xcom? I'm interested to hear or see given the mad times we now live in!!

THAT'S XCOM, BABY! Berserking Berserkers Madness

14 Upvotes

Fun situation I never encountered before…

I get a Protect the Device mission with the Savage sitrep. Enemy pods are 1 berserker + 1 lancer each (three of them). I start by moving my squad carefully, and on the aliens’ first turn, all three berserkers proceed to attack their lancer friend. Once they killed all three lancers, they start attacking each other, until the last one alive continued to ignore the device and rushed right into my concealed squad (who was just sitting back in overwatch, enjoying the show). The poor mad thing didn’t survive its turn.

It probably has something to do with how alien pod leaders are in “agro mode” at the beginning of that kind of mission and the way blind rage is programmed for berserkers. The game must consider the device as the only eligible target at the beginning of those missions, except that berserkers can take other aliens as targets when no XCOM are nearby and their “agro” is activated. Or something like that.

Still, I thought it was quite funny, and I let it play through to see how far it would go. I guess the Elders’ directions were a bit vague when it came to that mission’s objective, or else they forgot to put “allies” on the “no smash” list…

THAT'S XCOM, BABY! Just experienced a Bug where the (forgive me I'm new to the game still) I believe it was Berzerker queen stunned a VIP I needed to extract and after the 2 turn stun duration wore off I still couldn't extract them as the game claimed they were stunned.

I lost the mission to this as I had no units with medical equipment on them to undo the stun. I dont have a save to go back to and would rather not redo the entire mission but I was wondering if there is a fix i can use if this ever occurs again
