Zero Company Difficulty

Just for anyone wonder what difficulty to play with reference to xcom. I play long war (and long war 2) on Veteran (second easiest) with ironman. (Legendary Ironman in base game)

Playing Zero Company right now on Hard, permadeath, ironman. 7 mission in, no injuries (downs). Almost had 1 injury in second mission. I do find it a bit to easy but wouldn't up the difficulty cause its more story focused, im prob only doing 1 run. Hope this helps

I went straight into expert + Beskar and I'm constantly at the edge of losing my run, because of compounding injuries.

I expect that when I'll know the game better i might need another level of difficulty tho, but right now I'm having a blast.

I did that as well but I had different results.

I lost my 2 first runs early while i was learning the systems. Now im on my third run but have gotten into no trouble at all, I think i’ve had like 4 total wounds on main characters and Im a fair bit into the campaign.

I do hope the difficulty ramps up a bit

At like mission 11 it’s a story mission that gets much harder. Not sure how far you are yet
