XCOM 2 TOP MODS MOD

This is one of the mods created by Long War Studios, and it’s about as close to a must-have as you can get. You’re still fighting against a timer at least, but your fate is more firmly in your hands. Concealment is a new feature added for XCOM 2 which is intended to emphasize the guerilla-like nature of your squad, and you can really turn stealth to your advantage with this mod.

The True Concealment mod prevents timers from ticking down while your team is hidden.

If the prospect of removing all mission timers is a little bit, dare I say it, ‘cheaty’ for you, there is a halfway house. A heck of lot more than the Top Gear crew does anyway. But just a tip of the hat for the Mass Effect one, because it’s a decent effort and these characters actually fit into the theme of XCOM 2 pretty well. Now there’s a lot of crap character packs already for XCOM 2. As the name suggests, this mod removes the mission timers from all non-story missions. Luckily, Disable Timers is one of two nifty solutions already present from swift mod creators. Give me three turns to cross an entire map and I’m toast. I’m the sort to like taking their time, moving slowly and strategically and covering all the possible vantage points. I can’t be the only one enormously frustrated by the repeated use of mission timers in XCOM 2. There’s an ever-growing ocean of mods out there for XCOM 2, and here’s seven of the best you can grab right now. It’s meant XCOM 2 has had built-in mod support from day one, including the so-simple-it-blows-my-mind Steam Workshop integration. Just ask the XCOM: Enemy Unknown and Civilization V players who’ve racked up thousands on house in these games alone.

Developer Firaxis knows a thing or two about hooking players in for the long term you see.

Three officially supported mods arrived on day one, and these are just the tip of the iceberg. XCOM 2 is but a few days old, and already the mods are flowing faster than you can say ‘humanity’s lost’.
