Dark Events are randomly generated actions of the aliens - just as in the core version of XCOM 2. In the last mission it lead to me having a pod in front and one behind, oh, and of course the BQ who dropped. instead of a couple of turns to go, it's more like 4-5 turns to go. In my current campaign I appear to have failed to counter a dark event which is leading to reinforcements arriving earlier than usual i.e. gly normal and not so impactful events, like Rural Checkpoints or making the cost of recruits a little bit more expensive for the duration of the month, but I'm curious if there's a list of which Dark Events are the most important to counter ASAP as opposed to other Dark EventsĬhoosing the Dark Event Counter? :: XCOM 2 General Discussionĭark Events to Counter.My first counter was for Vigilance, if I counter that then there's no way to counter Lightning Reflexes irrc I don't want that Lightning Reflex Dark Event to pop. ADVENT Lightning Reflexes Overwatch shots will always miss ADVENT Troopers.
First Dark Event, got 2 cards: Vigilance Aliens are on high alert,making it harder for xcom to catch them unaware.Which ones are currently active can be viewed on the global map under the Dark Events. At any given time, the aliens can be working towards up to three Dark Events, each with an individual timer. Dark Events are a game mechanic in XCOM 2 that represents the aliens' progress toward completion of their Avatar Project or counter-insurgency activities efforts aimed at disrupting XCOM's activities.(Presumably, for the instant-effect shenanigans like Reduces Retaliation Counter, that part won't show up because they just happen when they happen and aren't "active" over a given time period.)Įdit: Mod request to change the name of Dark Events to Alien Shenanigans.Home XCOM 2 which Dark Events to counter Dark Events XCOM Wiki Fando When they do complete it, you'll get a notification about that and a little doohickey will show up in the Geoscape HUD that will say something like "Active Dark Events - VIPER ROUNDS" or whatever the active events are. Just because the aliens are working on a Shenanigan/Dark Event doesn't mean they've completed it and caused you to suffer the penalties yet. Think of it like the Abductions from EU/EW: You have 2-3 options, but you can only pick one, and have to deal with the consequences of the others.
Periodically you will get the option to go on "Guerrilla Operations," where you can choose one mission, and succeeding that one mission will prevent the aliens from completing one Shenanigan/Dark Event. Dark Events are shenanigans that the aliens/ADVENT get up to that, if completed, will provide them with bonuses (or cause you to suffer penalties) for (usually) about a month.
