Alright, that's it. I don't think I'm playing Ironman mode until XCOM 2 gets some of its wacky glitches sorted out.
Has anyone else gotten the glitch yet where with a grenadier as you're trying to select a grenade to throw instead of entering the usual grenade aiming interface your grenadier just auto-launches the grenade at their own feet? No typical friendly-fire warning or anything.
Mission was going fine until my grenadier Christopher Odd did that with an upgraded acid grenade. Blew up himself and two surrounding teammates. Of course, Biggest Booms chose that time to crit two of my units as well. Since Odd blew up his own cover, he got slaughtered next turn. Second soldier that got hit panicked when the acid damage over time ticked and then ran into a heavy MEC's overwatch fire and died. That left me with a corporal sniper I was trying to level up, two specialists with under-leveled guns (a medic and combat hacker), and a ranger. Limped through the mission for a bit, but then my ranger got crit into oblivion from an Archon melee hit. Three remaining soldiers just could not do enough damage to that freaking Archon, and even when they could actually hit the f**ker dodged every single one. Medic goes down. Specialist finally gets a lucky crit and ends the Archon's life.
Came home with 2 out of 6 soldiers and a failed mission objective. Retaliation mission hit immediately afterwards, and I can see "ENEMY UNKNOWN" on the list that I know are Chryssalids. The only squad I could make was made up of 2 mid-tier ranked soldiers, 3 squaddies, and the 1 rookie I was saving for Psi training. I think it's safe to say that this campaign is over.
Funny thing is that even with the Stay With Me perk every single soldier was killed instantly. Makes me wonder what percent chance a soldier actually has to bleed out with and without that perk, because it certainly didn't seem worth the 150 supplies on that mission.
The thing I'm most bitter about is that I was playing video games to try to get my mind off of things. It's becoming more and more readily apparent that my pet hedgehog Hiccup is dying, and I've just been kind of moping around all day.
I think it's time to go watch some TV or something... That's the lowest risk to my emotional state that I can think of at the moment. :/
(On the bright side, that Archon f**ker demonstrated the Sanic glitch to me.)
