Now I am wondering if a tactical cover based combat system would lend itself well to small units using swords and bows and climbing gear. Tactical ninja combat and infiltration?

Gotta write that down.

That makes me wonder if anyone has ever made a crossbow mod for xcom2. Could be pretty cool, a one-shot weapon that doesn't break concealment.

I've been using the Long War 2 Supressors mod, adds suppressors that you can use for your guns that won't break concealment immediately if you get a kill. It's a gamble but sometimes pays off.

Goddamnit
Now I want that

[Mephansteras]

Well, sounds like all the pieces you'd need to test the idea are in XCOM2. You'd just need to do some modding to put it all in place.

[forsaken1111]

It is tempting. I'm more familiar with unity though so I might just knock together a rough prototype

[Sanctume]

Now do that
And then do a mod that lets you free-target sword slashes.

And then a mod that removes all non-melee weapons so you just have swords.

And turns the xcom into soldiers and the aliens into heathens. Deus Vult!

So a DF crossover mod in XCOM.
melee weapons:
Axe (Assault),
Sword (Shinobi),
Spear (Ranger),
War Hammer or Mace (Heavy Gunner),
Pick (Specialist)
Crossbows with max 20 range for Sharpshooter
Siege operator Ballista for Technician
Catapult for Greanadier

Isn't one of the Alien Hunter DLC weapon is some sort of one shot crossbow looking thing?

I have this mod, only to be dissapointed by a grazing shot on an exposed snek 3 tiles away. 

The mod video looks cool with a Sniper Suppressor though

Yeah, it's not silent but it is kind of crossbow-ish. Could probably easily mod in a less powerful but silent version, though. That could be pretty cool.

Silent weapons don't super fit into the Xcom 2 mindset tho.  You'd have to kill an entire enemy pod in one shot right?

[Toaster]

I've found XCOM 2 becomes quite a bit more fun when you realize that you can use explosives for more than blowing up enemies

There's a reason I always packed lots of high explosive in OldCom.

[Rolan7]

The pistol from Alien Hunters is stealthy, in that it has a once-per-mission ability to infiltrate the user if the shot kills.
The shot is particularly flashy and loud, though.  I... guess it's supposed to be a distraction or flashbang or something.
Works on every mission, though, so I was able to scout ahead with an infiltrated sniper on the final mission.  Helped substantially.

Fits a little better in LW2.

Has anyone found an actual use for sharpshooters yet?  The pistol changes and reliance on timed missions seem to have rendered them basically worthless.
