XCOM 2 should now run better on your PC, thanks to its first major patch.With the XCOM 2 DLC release date quickly approaching, more details about the upcoming content pack have been revealed. "The XCOM team has been working hard to improve performance, balance, and stability issues reported by our fans," explains the official blog post. "We will continue to improve the XCOM 2 experience with additional updates and patches over the coming months".įiraxis have also added the option to activate a new 'Zip Mode', which speeds up animations and ensures a "faster-paced experience". This remains optional and can be found under the gameplay menu.Īlongside the performance improvements, you'll also find a number of balance changes here. One that immediately jumps out is the nerf to Mimic Beacons, which had become a vital (and often overpowered) tool in most campaigns. Following this patch, the beacons - which take on the form of XCOM soldiers who draw fire away from your squad - can no longer take cover and will always be hit by enemy fire. That'll hurt, I'm sure, but it does feel like a necessary downgrade.
