XCOM 2: War of the Chosen

[MonkeyBasher]

I beat the Hunter and too out his sarcophagus... quite easily tbh. I've got the Resistance comms and expanded a lot! Just assaulting a base now. I have 8 days left on the clock. Do things still not look great for me?

The coutdown timer only goes down towards 0 when you have maximum pips on the Avatar bar. The trick is to save something in reservere (so you can always reduce it) and then just progress through the game.
You can see on the GUI how many pips a base has and thus how many your bar will go down when it is destroyed.
Golden path missions also remove pips.

Somehow I'm back to normal. I still don't really understand it myself...

But anyway, I'm on 6 pips, the clock has gone and I took out the Hunter Chosen. Only question at the moment is, how do I get back my colonel that was captured during a Resistance Ring mission. How do I trigger the mission for that?

You wait and pray to RNG Jesus. It may never trigger.

There's a new standalone XCOM game coming out in 10 days, XCOM: Chimera Squad. It's a sort of side game, rather than XCOM 3 but it still looks very interesting.

I made a thread here to discuss it.

I like how 75% chance to hit feels more like 33%

2spaces away with a shotgun, miss, 2 space away with a sniper rifle, miss

I constantly flame my squad members failings and rejoice at their deaths, am I doing it right?
