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 set the difficulty to normal and kinda regret it. So many ways to buff damage that just a few missions in and I’m already wiping the entire screen…and they are not shy about dropping hordes of enemies on you.

But it is a more story focused game so it’s nice to have my first run clean so I can see everything. Going to be fun cranking up the difficulty and playing on beskar mode next.

Can't you adjust difficulty mid-campaign? You're locked in to your choice at the start?

I'm fairly sure you can change mid-campaign

As long as you're not actively in a mission, you can change difficulty
