Multiplayer games in XCOM: Enemy Unknown are played online over the internet or through a Local Area Network (LAN).
 +
Multiplayer does not need to be unlocked, nor is it affected in any way by Single Player game progress or save files.
 +
However, it is advisable to complete at least one Single Player game on Normal difficulty before attempting Multiplayer, so as to have at least fundamental game experience.
 +
 +
Multiplayer games are single battles of one vs. one (1v1) players. They are not saved, nor is there a campaign.
 +
Each player may select a Squad of one to six Units, mixing XCOM Soldiers and Aliens, each with associated points costs according to potential battle value.
 +
Squads may be selected before connecting to another player or in the game lobby, where you can see the number of points your opponent has selected.

Revision as of 03:02, 30 July 2013

Multiplayer games in XCOM: Enemy Unknown are played online over the internet or through a Local Area Network (LAN). Multiplayer does not need to be unlocked, nor is it affected in any way by Single Player game progress or save files. However, it is advisable to complete at least one Single Player game on Normal difficulty before attempting Multiplayer, so as to have at least fundamental game experience.

Multiplayer games are single battles of one vs. one (1v1) players. They are not saved, nor is there a campaign. Each player may select a Squad of one to six Units, mixing XCOM Soldiers and Aliens, each with associated points costs according to potential battle value. Squads may be selected before connecting to another player or in the game lobby, where you can see the number of points your opponent has selected.

Multiplayer Menu

  • Ranked Match
Attempts to match you with another player searching / hosting a Ranked Match.
-- Ranked Matches are limited to: 10,000 Points, 90s Turn Time, with random map.
-- Ranked Matches count towards your position on the Leaderboards.
  • Quick Match
Attempts to match you with another player looking for a Quick Match and connects you.
If no one else is searching, it creates a Custom Game with 10,000 Points, 120s Turn Time, Bar map.
  • Custom Match
Choose to Create Game or Search for a hosted Custom Match.
If you choose to create a game, these are the options:
-- Match Type: Public, Private, or LAN.
-- Points: 7500, 10000, 20000, or No Point Limit.
-- Turn Time: 45 seconds, 90s, 120s, or No Time Limit.
-- Map: Bar, Grand Cemetery, Police Station, Trainyard, or Boulevard.
*These are currently the only five maps available for Multiplayer.
  • Leaderboards
From here you may view the Top Players, Your Rank, and Friend Ranks.
-- The lists show Rank (number and name), Wins, Losses, and Disconnects.
  • Edit Squad
Opens the Offline Squad Editing menu screen.
-- If you choose a squad with points over 10000 total, a prompt will say "Loadout Changes Detected: Your loadout has too many points to play in a Ranked match, would you still like to save?"
  • View Invites
Brings up the Steam overlay to view game invites, messages, etc.


Squad Editor Menu

There are six boxes you can click to add Units. If you are connected to another player in the Multiplayer game lobby you will see your opponents currently selected points total, even if it overpasses the game restriction. If connected, there is also a Ready button on the bottom right of the screen. If you are the host, the Ready button will change to Start after both players are Ready.

  • Your Squad may consist of any XCOM Soldier Class (including Rookie) and most Aliens in the game.
  • You may choose to have 1 - 6 Units in your Squad.
  • Multiplayer Units are essentially the same as units on Normal difficulty.
  • Types are XCOM Soldier Classes with preset Abilities and Ranks. You are unable to customize them.
  • Ethereals are the only Unit too expensive for Ranked Matches; their use restricted to Custom Games with 20000 Points or No Point Limit.
  • Units unavailable for Multiplayer Squads:
XCOM: Civilians, Psionic Heavy Soldiers, or any kind of S.H.I.V..
Alien: Outsiders, Sectopods, Uber Ethereals, or Zombies (Chryssalids can create them though).

XCOM Soldiers Menu:

-- Class
-- Type
-- Primary Weapon
-- Secondary Weapon
-- Armor
-- Item 1
-- Item 2 (Support Imperator / Psi Guardian Types)
-- Customize (Rename unit, options like appearance / nationality / gender are unavailable)

  • Melee attacks hit automatically, ignoring Aim and Defense stats.
  • Robotic Units with 0 Will do not Panic and are immune to Psionic effects from Mindfray, Psi Panic, and Mind Control. However, they receive maximum damage from Psi Lance and Rift.
  • Thin Man has 4 HP and no damage penalty like the Classic difficulty version. Other stats follow Normal difficulty settings.
  • Ethereals are unarmed. But with their Psionic abilities, who cares?


Equipment

  • Mostly concerning XCOM Soldiers. Aliens are unable to have their equipment loadouts modified.
  • Note: No Weapons or Items benefit from Foundry upgrades. That's Single Player only.
  • Alien weapons are named after the species arming them, but are identical to the XCOM equivalents.
