When it fills up it isn’t an instant game over, it just puts you in a critical state with a 20 day final countdown. Speaking of putting things off, the AVATAR countdown is scary, but not as scary as it looks.Prioritize a strong squad over making Central happy. Early on, your support staff will badger you towards building a bunch of plot essential rooms, but you can actually put these off longer than they imply. A few of these can make an otherwise mundane squaddie into a real powerhouse (my back-up Specialist who unlocked the Grenadier’s shredder perk became one of my favorite picks). Not only does it dramatically reduce the recovery time of wounded soldiers, but it grants a chance of unlocking a random perk each time a soldier levels up. The Advanced Warfare Center is another room you’ll want to build as soon as you can.Research hybrid materials and plated armor as soon as they are available. It grants each squad member four extra health and allows them to carry a second item, dramatically increasing the squads’ tactical flexibility. There are plenty of options to devote your research time and supplies towards, but I don’t think any of them will pay out as much as Predator armor in the early game. Predator armor should be one of the first upgrades you rush toward.You’ll want those ASAP, so having a single MVP who is a rank or two ahead of everyone else can actually be beneficial. At the same time, the second Guerrilla Tactics School squad size perk (and the first on higher difficulties) requires a highly ranked soldier to unlock. You don’t want a bad mission to leave you with nothing but untrained rookies, so make sure to rotate the squad members naturally so you have a good pool of decently ranked soldiers ready for combat.
Even if you don’t lose many troopers, getting wounded is inevitable, and a bad wound can hospitalize a soldier for up to a month. A deep bench of squad members to choose from is essential.
To even the playing field as quickly as possible, build the Guerrilla Tactics School as one of your very first rooms. It’s not unusual to feel a little outgunned early on when you’re stuck fielding four-man squads of bumbling rookies.Here are some tips that will hopefully let your squad hit the ground running. The XCOM team has more tactical options and gear to keep track of than ever, and while it may be overwhelming at first, putting those options to good use can allow you to seriously turn the tables on the alien menace. The aliens are a meaner, sneakier lot this time out, and it’s going to take every dirty trick in the book to keep up with them. Even if you’re a veteran of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2 is likely to catch you off guard.
