XCOM 2 is a lot more mod-friendly than its predecessor, which is great news for people with the time and knowledge required to create their own modifications and content. It’s also highly.
- Steam Workshop: XCOM 2. Want a sword on your sniper? A pistol on your ranger? A gremlin on your grenadier? You know how it works by now. This is a recompliation of Utility Slot Sidearms Extended.
- I saw this too and it might work for later tiers, but specifically for kevlar, it doesn't help me. I want to unlock that second utility slot, and in the options from this mod, the section for kevlar utility slots is already ticked as 'true' and I can't just go +1. Thanks, but unfortunately this is not it.
- The XCOM 2 mods for Wrex, Grunt, Liara and Mordin have all been updated for use in War of the Chosen. Give Wrex a shotgun and a sword and see how he takes to being threatened by the Chosen.

Utility items, such as the Mindshield, are extremely powerful, yet at the same time quite situational.
Man does not live by grenades and ammo alone, and the game offers a wide range of utility items, which will surely come in handy on numerous occasions. Just like the items described in the previous chapters, utility items are equipped in the same slot that your soldiers carry grenades in normally - to double the number of slots available, you will need to equip your units with medium armor (Predator, Warden). Additionally, as always, your soldiers can't carry two identical items at the same time.

Please note the following:
Xcom 2 Mods Steam
- Additional armors (HazmatVest, PlatedVest, NanoscaleVest, StasisVest and Hellwave) are extremely situational items, which are in general less effective than the rest of the items of the group, not to mention grenades and / or ammo. Those are worth using only when you lack any better items to equip your soldiers with.
- Mimic Beacon is an extremely effective tool used to distract enemies, which is even more valuable on higher difficulty levels. After activating, an ideal copy of the soldier using it will appear on the battlefield, and the enemies will focus fire on the decoy. It's even more useful when you accidentally attract attention of more than 1 group of enemies at the same time. You should always have at least 1 Mimic Beacon at your disposal.
- Medikit and Nanomedikit are best given to a Specialist-class soldier, with the Medical Protocol ability. Thanks to that, the soldier will have an increased amount of healings that he / she will be able to perform on the battlefield, not to mention the ability to use them from a huge distance. Poison immunity is the icing on the cake.
- Skulljack is another item that you should equip your Specialist soldier with, as it increase the HACK attribute by 25 points. The item itself allows you to 'Skullmine' a soldier, gaining Intel or a random alien facility lead - aside from that, it's a one-shot-one-kill item, eliminating the enemy you used it on after the process ends.
- Battle Scanner is useful when you want to scan the area that is shrouded in the fog of war, especially building rooftops and you don't want to attract any unwanted attention. Additionally, it's a perfect tool against camouflaged enemies - Faceless enemies will be instantly revealed and Chryssalids will be pulled out of the ground. This item should be given to a Sharpshooter-class soldier, who will in most cases be too far away from the target to hurt it with a grenade either way.
- Mindshield is a perfect item for your Rangers, who will almost always be running between a group of enemies. Thanks to that, they will be immune to psi abilities of the Sectoid, as well as the mind-controlling ability of the Avatar.
- Overdrive Serum gives a huge boost to various stats, but the item is extremely situational, the effect lasts only 2 rounds and the item is permanently lost once used. You can find at least several better items to use the limited utility slot space.
