There are four new standard enemies in War of the Chosen - the Priests, the Purifiers, the Spectres and the Lost. So far, we’ve found powerful breakthroughs (random bonus research projects) and incredibly useful items from autopsies. Here, we’ll break down all the research we’ve found (so far) and how to make that stuff appear for you. That’s why we’re pretty happy to report that the War of the Chosen expansion is full of new research projects, items and weapons. Without research projects, XCOM wouldn’t be able to develop all the killer alien-fighting gear required to save the world. There are also four UFO Components which can be researched but which have no practical value:Ī fifth component, Alien Reproduction, cannot normally be found in the game, although it can be researched if you add it to your General Stores using a game editor.Research is the lifeblood of XCOM 2: War of the Chosen. Researching these topics will not unlock any technologies beyond themselves. Should you research a Commander prior to this, you'll have to capture another. In practice, any Commander will do - so long as The Martian Solution has already been researched. The Unofficial Strategy Guide incorrectly states that only a Commander from an alien base can be used to give access to "Cydonia or Bust". An alien Commander will also always accompany a base invasion force. These research topics must be completed in order to travel to Cydonia and finish the game.Īlien Commanders can be found on Battleships, or in alien bases.
