XCOM 2: Fastest way to Reduce the Avatar Project.

Works but is not as useful as you'd think.
At the beginning of the game the alien facilities you can unlock have a ruler in them and that mother.... will then appear in your regular missions if you do this wiping your squads and causing you to fail.
When you're as far in the game as to have alien facilities unlocked that don't have a ruler in them you can pretty much stomp the mission with your B or even C squad. It's not a timed mission you can take your time with it and if you really want to you can cheese the shit out of it. Bring a reaper and a sharpshooter and you can scout with the reaper and shoot with sharpshooter squad sight from the other end of the map every turn without any risk. Just keep your soldiers far, far back and the pods will just run around when you shoot at them. Even on legend it's only 11 enemies per facility and only one of them is a gatekeeper or a sectopod.

I decided to play this game again and sir you just made me laugh way too hard now I feel stupidity 😂

I've done this on missions before too. Feels good being able to smash and grab without taking a single hit.

👍

Send two Reapers so that one can hold the other's beer

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

How are you so rich LOL? I'm in Vanilla and have 11 contacts and I have about a 1k deficit that needs to be filled because I am upgrading everything like mad.

Such a good game. A shame Chimera Squad was terrible.

Personally think it's one of the most annoying things in the game, I know it's the plot, but being able to play without the "game over counter", at least for the first playthrough, would be a boon.

Im S your D any time dude. 😂 im playin xcom 2 and having a hard time.

If u bring a whole team and u have no reapers. Try to get concealed as close by and blow up the wall if there aint no shortcut. U just need to holdout for 1 turn and can safelly extract.

Sweet video

nice trick

Neath - although you miss out on the ability to skulljack a senior officer which reduces the avatar progress by another bar.

One thing I love about playing this on the Xbox Series X.. The short loading times.

yeah i do it cod style usually, 2 reapers to run ahead and make sure the bomb is planted, and like 5 other soldiers sitting in the backline waiting for shit to either go down, usually the reaper planting most likely always dies

Props to you on this one

I can't believe this video came up just as i lost the game! 😢😢😢😢ARRRGGGGHHHHH!! But I'm definitely try this. Thank you.

I like reaper snipers strat on this missions. Reaper spots and snipers have great distance.

got this in recommended, i miss when i watched this game on YT when I was young, maybe I should give it a try and play it one day?

The solo Reaper strategy works in other areas, too. I once did the first Blacksite with a solo Reaper, though it took a few tries to clear out enough enemies to get at the vial uncontested.

我不會說這是最快速的方式，只不過一次普通的任務，用潛行的方式解決

You know, the Reapers canonically do this. This is a lore friendly strategy.

What's going on you ask? I'm ..watching your video...

Based

This is insane. I would never have had enough brain cells to come up with this strategy. I always go all in with all my soldiers dying

Thank you, helped alot. Have a great day

Had to learn the hard way that there are missons in the game that are better for you if you don't bring the whole crew, but I don't think I would have found this out. Thanks!

In fact, the game tries to cheat in such situations: patrols "accidentally" move directly to your reaper position. One time, a Sectopod stepped on my reaper, going straight through a wall. But maybe it depends on the difficulty level.

The Games structure to avoid Progress in Avatar project IS pure luck and there IS No way with strategic behavior to be Not confronted with a loss in the end

Big brain moves damn i feel dumb now xD

its War of the chosen, kiddy.

You got very lucky, but that trick can't repeat itself every time you try to pull it. You can easily run into the nastiest bunch of enemies on your bold double move turn and get insta wrecked. But yes, that's what I did several times: minding my own stuff till dedline, then haul ass to blow the shit up, with the whole squad.

Nice video

Bruh I don’t even get the chance to get new regions so I can’t do the missions at all

Ty for the video! I really like this game but never finished the Campaign... The Avatar Project stresses me out everytime and I stop playing :(

One thing. Use this only if there is no Vahlen animal in the facility (sorry, I don't remember the name).

I also use this strategy when I do rescues

they should earn at least some xp or ability points for the mission goal, not just for the kills

Badass

Make more videos 🔥

Hey man good video. Its niche information but it helped me, this game is kinda huge and a lot to learn in it. You should produce more videos man, you are helpful - i think you can be a good source of info.

I'm going to get back into the game after finishing WOTC on Commander Difficulty in 2017. This tip will come in handy.

Thanks!! What are your favorite mods for vanilla XCOM 2? I mean like "skins" or "voices" or "heads-up display" enhancements.

It never would’ve occurred to me to just bring a reaper. It’s so simple and easy

Technically speaking the fastest way is by using cheats or hacks.

If anyone doesn't know there's an option only available in War of The Chosen that doubles the Avatar Project timer if you feel like you need it.

but ... no kill no experience ?

I've only ever had the Avatar Project clock run out once. Stayed up to play "just one more mission" and fell asleep.

Just to point out this ONLY works if you dont have Volunteer Army or Double Agent orders, others your reaper might spawn in with an accomplice which means a restart, which if your doing Iron or Honest Man runs can screw you.
