Description
To help with finally unlocking the “Valhalla” Achievement, and Beat the game on Commander+ difficulty in Ironman mode, I decided to try playing a campaign of XCOM 2: War of the Chosen / Tactical Legacy Pack, using Mods. Inspired by Christopher Odd’s latest Mod Collection (The Legacy Campaign Mods), I used an assortment of mods from his list, along with a few other recommendations.

This collection is mainly designed to help with bug fixes, configuration improvements, UI changes, and various other updates. It is not a comprehensive mod list, but an introduction for someone trying mods for the first time.

After completing my campaign, I can attest that all the mods I used in this collection worked flawlessly. The only “glitch” I encountered a couple of times was a stuck animation loop after an Overwatch Kill that was easily fixed with simply reloading the saved game. I can’t say for sure if this was caused by using a particular Mod or two, but I’ve never seen this bug before in all my hours of gameplay – until now.

UPDATE: I discovered the mod [WOTC] Less Overwatch Lock Ups! by Mr. Nice, which should fix this issue and has been added to the collection.


As a “very” longtime player of XCOM, I wanted to share this list for anyone interested in trying mods for the first time, or if you are looking for some improvements to help your play-through on Commander & Legendary difficulty. I’ve found plenty of other mods to try, but this collection is a good start.

Good Luck….Commanders!

Defense Matrix Sabotage Fix

[WOTC] Critical Skirmishing
