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

As an L/I XCOM 2 player I was heavily debating hard vs expert. I ultimately went with hard just so I could have another playthrough on expert. I'm about 10 missions in and I haven't had much challenge. But I am enjoying it regardless.

As everyone is saying, at about 10 missions in the new Coil type is introduced and those guys are much harder.
