Editing XCOM (section)

====Tactical Legacy Pack====
A mini expansion pack that adds 4 mini-campaigns detailing some of the adventures of Bradford and Lily Shen during the tumultuous days of ADVENT's takeover, adds new weapons to your WotC playthrough for each of these mini-campaigns you beat, allows you to choose between three soundtracks, (X-COM 1, X-COM 2, and Legacy Remixes), allows free access to all of the 100 challenges rather than the random daily challenge system, and even allows you to make your own challenge missions. Also has more than a few bugs and oddities that needs to be fixed with workshop mods. However it isn't as a glitchy broken mess compared to some [[Fallout|other games]]. 

The missions themselves range from awesome to just plain bad. Blast to the Past has central explain what happened after XCOM EU/EW. Finishing it unlocks the TLP weapons from EU/EW. The worst campaign a long drudge of several levels makes up It Came from the Sea. With respawning Chrysalids and Faceless. With the reappearance of the worst character in any XCOM game. Jake Levy aka the DJ. Who goes on annoying rants and the reason everything in the mission is happening in the first place.(He may be a hand in the Bugtown Massacre mentioned in Chimera Squad. Since he can't keep track of his shit, its very likely.) The only reason to play it is unlocking basic cosmetic armor for each class(i.e. variants of Predator and Warden armor, what you use until building the good stuff.) No one would blame players for cheating and modding the game to get a high score either. As its just that bad.

Avenger Assemble is Lily Shen's logs about how she collected parts for the Avenger. XCOM's current base into a flight worthy state. It has some great lore bits and at the very least is not as bad as the previous campaign. Her personal Gremlin, Rov-R isn't as overpowered as it's depicted in Shen's Last Gift to preserve game balance.

The last one Lazarus Project, is just pure fanservice. All the canon characters are playable for the first and only time on the same squad. Including Peter Osei and Ana Ramirez who died during the tutorial missions of XCOM 2. The last two levels of Lazarus Project are only two missions besides Operation Leviathan to allows players to have more than six soldiers, without mods. The second to last has the first canon appearance of Doctor Tygen. Whose callsign is Hamburglar. Referring to a recurring gag from the main campaign. The fact that he is mentioned early on in Avenger Assemble by Lily means those two campaigns take place outside of chronological order. Unlike the second campaign, there good enough to play at once without mods.

While their supposedly canon, there are some strange oddities. As the magnetic and plasma weapons used by the Reapers, Skirmishers and Templars were invented by XCOM, so are Psi-Amps. Thus they shouldn't exist yet. You can fix that on your own with some mods and text editing with Notepad+. The last is the Avatars that show up on the final levels of every campaign. Central says he fought them or "something like it" but the real reason is that Firaxis didn't bother to make a new model for it. 

IT WAS Free until Dec 3rd, 2018, for all WotC owners. Though it's still a cheap buy at $7.99 on Steam. The ability to switch between three soundtracks alone is worth it.(remixes of classic XCOM tracks, the OST from Enemy Within and the vanilla War of the Chosen soundtrack. )
