XCOM 2 WAR OF THE CHOSEN BEST MODS MOD
Cosmetics are also really easy to mod in at this point, so at the time it probably wasn’t viewed as a great use of developer resources. This DLC, while admirable in trying to offer the player more ways to customise their forces, also represents a surprisingly stark misconception of what the players liked about XCOM 2.

These items range from clown face paints and piercings to mohawks and leather trousers, making your soldiers look like a band of edgy teens. It included more than 100 different customisation items based around the theme of ‘Anarchy’. The first of these was Anarchy’s Children which is another cosmetic-only DLC. There were three DLCs released in 2016, none of which are available for sale individually anymore. Yes, if you like the military design of the first game’s armour and want more options to attain that look. This is a mostly cosmetic pack that will only really be useful in the very early-game DLC, so treat it as such. That is compensated very slightly by four face paint options added to the game, so ‘cosmetics’ is pretty much what this DLC boils down to even the additional rookie soldier is unremarkable in any sense besides his looks. To make matters worse, there are four pre-set versions of the armour that can be chosen by changing the torso customisation options, but things like legs, arms, and shoulders can’t be touched, giving players a lot less freedom to design their own troops.

The armour is not a customization option, but an item called the Resistance Kevlar Armor, which becomes obsolete the moment a better model is researched. The idea had a lot of potential, giving players the choice to try to rebuild the organization that was steamrolled by the aliens 20 years past using the same outfits and bringing a veteran soldier to the fight, but it is very much an early-game only deal.

Originally a pre-order bonus, the Resistance Warrior Pack is a textbook example of an interesting concept ruined by a cynical execution.
