Free DLC adds new options to elongate gameplay
Go load upXCOM: Enemy Unknowntoday and grab your free title update. Titled “Second Wave,” this new DLC adds a heap of modifiers to the campaign, including anything from weapon buffs, to guaranteed crits. It’s the second piece of content to be on offer since theSlingshot Pack.
While these options seem fairly lame on the surface, there are a few gems that help extend the life of the game for pros. One of them is “Marathon,” which makes the game ever harder with higher costs, and longer time lapses for healing and research.
Others, like “High Stakes,” reward players for stopping alien abductions, adding more incentive to go on more missions. All in all, it’s enough for me to head back and finish my third playthrough.
