Bring out your Doof Warriors
One of my favorite things aboutXCOM 2is the level of customization that’s been added to soldiers. The ability to mix-and-match armor pieces, colors, and accessories really helps me individualize my troops, and alongside the many mods that have emerged, the number of options available is increasing exponentially.
Firaxis has opted to push that number up even further with the game’s first DLC pack,Anarchy’s Children. Slated for release on March 17, the pack will add “over 100 new exotic customization options for your soldiers, including new hairstyles, face paints, armor, lower face props, decals, helmets, masks and more.” Folks who bought the game’s “Reinforcement Pack” bundle will receiveAnarchy’s Childrenfor free, as the Reinforcement Pack covers it and the next two planned DLC releases.
Based on the teaser shots they’ve released (and the name), the theme seems to be “comic book punk,” so if you’ve ever wanted your own squad of eliteWar Boys, or tried to imagine puttingLord Humungus,Tank Girl, or the types of people Judge Dredd likes to shoot on the front line against the alien menace, you’ll be well covered.
Firaxis also noted that it’s preparing a patch to address performance issues and fix bugs, with more details due soon.
