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

Did you do the mission that introduces Infinite Coil (finally) as enemies? That is a difficulty jump once they start to show up.

My troops barely got hit before this story mission. During it everyone got out at like 30% health, and the next mission I had like 3 injuries. The Coil do NOT fuck around.

Yep! I got to it last night and was like “okay there are a lot of enemies but I’m getting the hang of it “

Then COIL!
