XCOM 2: Fastest way to Reduce the Avatar Project.

In this video, I'll be showing you the fastest way to reduce the Avatar Project.

[@mainepants]

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

[@fightsquid7151]

I feel that😂. This game is the most addicting I’ve played

[@Charles.Wright]

Haha that's awesome.

[@dorkasaurus_rex]

IT'S SO ADDICTING WHAT THE FUCK@@fightsquid7151

[@Shiftry87]

How did u fall asleep during the overworld screen. Also u would get mission popups that pause the overworld timer untill u make a choice so if u failed from that u must have been max a few days away from failing the campaign to begin with.

[@avariciousandrew6921]

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

[@EdenVR]

lol wait really? i just assumed the commander rescue for the intrk was random bs the devs did

[@smincesmeat316]

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

[@SapereAude-lc4io]

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.

[@MrOwl-lw3xc]

Happens roughly half the time on normal. I think it's random

[@Madcat1331]

I guess Sectopods are built different. I remember doing a story mission on Veteran, and hid my squad behind a barricaded bridge that I thought the Sectopod would _reasonably_ walk by... Except it decided to make a turn from the literal asphalt road it was following before and smashed through said barricade, revealing my squad...

[@MrOwl-lw3xc]

@@Madcat1331 every enemy has a chance to start walking towards your hiding position. The only difference is sectopoids don't care about walls

[@Madcat1331]

@@MrOwl-lw3xc kool-aid mfs 😭

[@TheWickedJuggy]

During any mission even on rookie, the enemy will go into “walking patterns” but, the time you start moving towards or even just sitting for a bit, they will do all they can to look for you and their so called ‘patterns’ become blatant search parties for your team. Doesn’t seem to be the case with prisoner missions like getting back the skirmisher ally but all other situations are pretty much just them searching for you nonstop.

[@FarmingUnclear]

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

[@the1truking]

Wow, I can actually go back and not feel like I'm playing against impossible odds!

[@savagedonut]

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.

[@BEARDEDGAMER5]

I was actually planning another video for this week so please stay tuned

[@mihf772]

I found this strategy on my 2nd play through and figured that a ranger with a wraith suit and mimic beacon as well as a lot of patience does the trick

[@jiros00]

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

[@patrickmilton7065]

Wow thanks for this strategy it's almost 11 pm and I was looking for options. You came through bro🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Quantumironturtle]

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.

[@tomassoejakto]

I always bring my reaper on these facility assaults, but never thought to bring JUST the reaper 😂

[@alexosipchuk5614]

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

[@ayotiM]

Lmao

[@user-wx1iv1fw3d]

這...地球完蛋了，這種指揮官 完蛋了

[@LLukasrealista]

just to be safer, if reaper has tactical rigging, equip him with overdrive serum or sustaining sphere.

[@wyndman]

Thanks for the information, my back was really up against he wall with the avatar project.

[@BEARDEDGAMER5]

No problem if anyone needs help on agame just let me know and if I have the game I'll post a video..

[@2_572]

I .just wondering how do I get cool armour and weapons and power in my facility lol

[@uncannybeagle7512]

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

[@ImadZeryouh]

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.

[@uncannybeagle7512]

I've done that for missions too, brought the whole gang just in case, but didn't even need to fire a shot sometimes.

[@primarchicarus7099]

Damn I spend half an hour preparing the perfect facility ambush only to find out you can do it with one guy wearing a trench coat and gas mask

[@tonyether814]

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!

[@ry-daprophet.b1461]

Thank you brother, just started again in 2024, stay blessed.

[@robertgrays8790]

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

[@mr.cactus4685]

Thank you, helped alot. Have a great day

[@TimBuktu666]

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

[@NotYourBusiness-bp2qn]

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.

[@divegabe]

Thanks, was wondering about the facilities with Rulers in them.

[@Oz_is_on_fire]

Should’ve thought of that! Good one.

[@BEARDEDGAMER5]

Glad I could help

[@apewithmic8361]

Yo that was sick… definitely gonna change how I play.

[@frankenwaifu8092]

"Amazing, mission complete. That right there is why you're the best Boss!"

[@super1942lolo]

Props to you on this one

[@PissedOffAtEverybody]

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

[@HJC1950]

I am just starting the game. I installed it on my PC on its very fast SSD. Load times are not an issue.

[@Bloodraii]

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 :(

[@thatguyinelnorte]

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

[@BEARDEDGAMER5]

I mostly enjoy skins the most, they're aesthetically pleasing

[@VectoRaith]

Before WoTC, this was a very mundane strategy because you can only use a single ranger; even with a Wraith Suit.

[@tech-priestservitor9523]

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

[@itree4]

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

Do you guys know if the console version got fix? Because I remember a bug on iron man mode that the came would crash and delete the save file game

[@brothersandsistersofvalhalla]

That isn't just console. PC has those kinds of bugs too so does the Switch version. Far as I'm aware they were never fixed but they're thankfully very rare.

[@shalashaska69420]

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

[@Darth-_-Maul]

I thought I was only one playing this I completed game once so my question is how long you can play is there time limit?

[@nunya_bizniz]

No you can run the game perpetually at a certain point.

[@BEARDEDGAMER5]

If you leave one chosen alive you can play to your hearts content

[@walterallen3152]

@@BEARDEDGAMER5 As long as you don't start the Advent Network Tower mission you can play forever. I like trying different strategies when Advent builds a new facility at that point with one of my thirty or so colonel's, LOL.

I always try to have a facility readily accessible

[@muajin]

Can you do this if you dont have woc?

[@BEARDEDGAMER5]

You can but you'll need the wraith suit and if possible the ranger

[@damionmunro]

👍

[@goldenstorm22]

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

[@BrushQuill]

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.

[@__-hu1ph]

Bro just leave them behind then let them die after your reaper gets out? Who gaf if they die they're free cannon fodder.

[@uncannybeagle7512]

I suppose you can use them to draw the enemy's attention from the Reaper. If the enemy is lingering on the objective for too long have your walking guns take potshots at the enemies while the Reaper gets the objective.

[@JeffCharleson]

Hopefully this works, I am happy with my base build, but all my soldiers are injured

[@akoskovacs6830]

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

With the reaper you get more leeway. As long as the reaper is in shadow there's only one block to either side

[@divegabe]

Use the Ring missions to bring down Avatar level

[@WhatWillYouFind]

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.

[@Guccipoooch]

How do you get a reaper

[@Warpstoneaddict]

you get the wotc dlc then there is a mission a little bit after you start the game that gives you a reaper

[@anlq1240]

but ... no kill no experience ?

[@darkokat]

He had the highest level reaper there is. He didn't need experience

[@brothersandsistersofvalhalla]

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.

[@bradleymoore9097]

[@mikkelnpetersen]

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.

[@thiagorodrigues5211]

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

[@Snoupity]

It's hilarious how obscenely unbalanced/easy Xcom 2 is without Long War and whatnot. This is legit at the difficulty level of a regular March Smash n' Grab op. 😂😂

[@TheDarrlelennis]

I also use this strategy when I do rescues

[@user-gc1uc7ek1u]

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.

[@BEARDEDGAMER5]

I've never got caught as long as you use a reaper
