#XCOM 2 LONG WAR TIPS FULL#

Rescue a Defector and Hinder ADVENT operations are standard, if harder than normal missions.

Depending on your progress, between May and July are the best times to complete the first Liberation mission chain, especially if you have Magnetic Weapons available.

The haven for the region should also be full of rebels, as recruiting them after liberating the region is slower. The first liberated region should be one where ADVENT Strength is low, since the missions will have a positive Strength modifier and they will cause ADVENT to raise its Strength even further. The first mission for this objective is not obvious, as it will be a 'Find a Lead' Guerrilla Ops mission with Intel as reward, but once completed the Liberation missions will be able to be detected, starting with 'Liberation: Rescue a Defector'.

In the first few months of the campaign, the only main objective is to 'Find a Lead'. Later on there will be many other research and Proving Grounds projects available, so researching this early will be one less mandatory task to worry about. If you don't have enough resources for weapons or comms, one of the main objectives to do is completing the Skulljack project, for which you need the ADVENT Trooper and Officer autopsies. More regions means you can dedicate rebels to other jobs, ADVENT Strength will be less concentrated, and more missions will be available anyways, including ones that counter Dark Events, as well as Troop Maneuvers and Supply Line Raids, which provide much needed corpses. Researching and building Resistance Comms should also be a priority, as you will want to contact as many regions as possible early on. You will want to pick up at least one or two engineers from either missions or the Black Market, as excavations are a very good source of materials early on and you will need the space. As for research, any option available is good, especially Basic Research as it increases the speed of your research by one extra scientist, or rushing Laser Weapons, as the increased efficiency at killing ADVENT will help with mission completion. Every mission matters at this stage, as they provide both valuable resources and experience for your troops.ДЇor the Avenger, your first facility should be the Guerrilla Tactics School, even if you can't buy the perks it offers, since it allows you to train rookies in the class of your choosing for free. It's recommended to switch all of these to Intel to detect as many missions as possible. At the start of the campaign, your only haven will have 6 rebels, assigned equally to Supply, Intel and Recruit jobs.
