Xcom 2 Skip Intro
Rate
How to skip intro movies. Just right click on XCOM 2 in your Steam library, select Properties, click the Set Launch Options button, and type in “-nostartupmovies” without the quotes.
Game Cheats:
Advance with Caution:
When you come out of concealment, do it carefully. Running ahead is risky,
since you could trigger an enemy encounter halfway through a turn, when
you're not prepared. Keep a single character at the front of the group (the
Ranger works best), and let the others tag behind by at least a square or
two. Why take unnecessary risks when it's so easy to play things safe?
The Advanced Warfare Chamber Is Terrific:
Are you having trouble deciding what facility to go for next? Make it the
Advanced Warfare Chamber, which has a whole host of benefits. It nearly
halves the time you'll have to wait for soldiers to heal, for starters,
and there's also the chance it will grant them additional skills when they
level up (from other character classes). That can work out in a number of
ways, and there's a really good chance it will work in your favor. Try to
get that facility early in your campaign to maximize its impact.
Claim Continents:
If you can gain access to every region within a continent and then build
a sufficient number of radio beacons (represented by small dots next to
the map bonus), you'll gain a random bonus. The exact bonus changes from
one play session to another, but you should always find it beneficial and
worth pursuing.
Scientists, Engineers, and Intel Are Your Friends:
When you can choose between the rewards you receive, make sure you always
go for Scientists, Engineers, or Intel. The first two options let you
upgrade your troops and base more quickly, while Intel is useful for a
variety of important reasons (including the links you need to establish
with new regions).
Avatar Project Delays:
Once the Avatar project is completed, you'll be in a world of hurt if
you're not prepared. However, you can delay things quite a bit. As the
bar reaches its halfway point, complete Alien Facility missions to drop
it by at least two points. Guerrilla Ops assignments can also provide a
significant delay. That way, you'll have more time to research tech and
unlock new stuff to give you a better chance as the end draws nigh.
1080p and Higher Display:
* Go to C:Users???DocumentsMy GamesXCOM2XComGameConfig
* Backup this file before making any changes
* Open the XComEngine
* Search and Change the ResX and ResY to your desired Resolution.
* Save and Run the Game. Enjoy. Note: Do not make any changes
in-game Settings unless you want to revert back.
Save Game Location:
Please note that in XCOM 2, saves are not in the normal XCOM: EU place.
You will discover all you saves in the directory
'DocumentsMy GamesXCOM2XComGameSaveData' i.e.
it's not just 'games' but 'MY GAMES'.
Mix It Up:
Sure, you can bring along six squad members that fall within the same
class, but that can prevent you from being able to take an effective
approach when unexpected circumstances arrive. Instead, it's often
safest to bring along a representative from each of the five available
classes, along with a sixth character that belongs to the class you
favor most.
Cover Story:
If you find yourself facing off against fortified enemies, remember
that you can even the playing field by eliminating their cover. You
can also destroy their footing, which could cause them to fall and
take damage while also enduring the harm caused by the initial
explosion. It's an especially good strategy when applied to nasty
turrets.
Black Market Caution:
You can now buy and sell more freely in the Black Market than you could
in the previous game in the series, but there are downsides to that new
freedom. You might easily sell resources that you'll need for various
upgrades, and you might spend Intel too quickly when you should save it
for emergencies. Think carefully before you buy or sell anything, to
make sure you're working toward a long-term plan.
Establish Resistance Contacts:
When you have additional resistance contacts, you gain extra funds and
you may also obtain region-specific upgrades. Besides that, Alien Facility
missions may spawn in those regions. If you haven't already gained access,
that can prvent you from being able to proceed in the necessary manner,
which seriously hampers your chances of victory.
Manage your Home Base:
Once you have the massive stolen alien ship, it is your duty to protect
them from the aliens. Managing is not only protecting, but also build
new rooms like the special room. Here you require clearing out the alien
machinery and debris from the ship. Assign one of your engineer to clear
out the room and free up space. You will also be awarded extra bonus and
resources.
Stop the Aliens:
Just like the predecessor you have to stop the Aliens from completing
their project call 'Project Avatar'. This Project is for the end of the
world and you need to stop it before the countdown. Here they simplest
ways to stop the countdown is by assaulting an enemy facility or
completing the Story Objective. While Assaulting the facility is very
easy and brings down the progress bar instantly and you get the time
to expand other regions and build more power.
Terminate Sectoid:
Turn your Main goal to terminate all the Sectoid as these are also a threat
to your squad. You must start this at a very early stage and whenever you
get the opportunities to target them. You can find their corpse at the back
of the base so once you are done taking down, head directly to the research
lab. Now start helping Dr. Tygan to perform Sectoid Autopsy. This is a
time-consuming process so if you want you can continue with side objectives
until he finishes the work.
Helping Hand and Research Psionic:
Once Dr. Tygan has finished his research on Sectoid Autopsy, you can ask
him to proceed with the research on Psionic and see what the outcome comes
out to be. Well, this is also the same time-consuming process so if you
want you can continue with side objectives until he informs you about the
progress.
How to Unlock Legendary Hero Characters:
* Open the Soldier Roster.
* Select any soldiers to customise and change character info.
* Here you need to enter one of the 'Legendary Hero' name in both the field
(First and last name) exp. First = Sid and last name= Meier.
* Once you save the name the hero will overwrite all the characteristics and
abilities.
* You Hero is Ready to Go.

How to Remove the Intro Videos:
Normally if you start the game it takes 15+ seconds to load the main menu
and the main reason behind this is the Intro Video which is very time-consuming.
When you have only limited time to play then this video becomes irritating so
let's just remove it out permanently.
Trick 1
* Go to the following location:
* C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonXCOM 2XComGameConfig
* Make a backup of the File 'XCOMEngine.ini'
* Now open the same file with any text editor.
* Locate 'StartupMovies' Line and then Delete the Following Lines.
StartupMovies=X2_2KFXS_Logos
StartupMovies=X2_Logo
StartupMovies=UE3TechLogo_XC2
StartupMovies=XC2_LegalScreen
StartupMovies=Black
* Save the File and Load the game.
* Now you only have to wait for just seven seconds instead of fifteen seconds to play XCOM 2.
Trick 2
* Right Click you Game and Select Properties.
* Click on the 'Set Launch Options' Tab.
* Enter '-nostartupmovies'
* Save and exit.
* Play Xcom 2 without intro cinematics.
