XCOM Enemy Unknown: the second DLC will be free

For all lovers of XCOM Enemy Unknown: there is good news, the second DLC game will be distributed free of charge. When the expansion has already been released on Steam and soon should arrive even on our console. Once installed, we find ourselves with 16 new options when you start a new game, although some will unlock only after proving your skills. But we see better in detail:

  • Roulette: Damage weapons have a wider RADIUS
  • New Economy: Finance Council members become randomly
  • Not Created Equally: the rookies will start random statistics
  • Hidden Potential: When a soldier is promoted to statistics will increase randomly
  • Red Fog: wounds will degrade the soldier's statistics
  • Absolutely Critical: a shot of support ensures a critical hit
  • The Greater Good: Psionics skill could be learned by querying an alien Disrupter
  • Marathon: the game will take much longer to be completed
  • Results Driven: a country will offer less money with increasing panic
  • High Stakes: will there be random rewards for the arrest of the alien abduction
  • Diminishing Returns: rising costs of construction of the satellite

Only available after completing the game on Impossible difficulty level:

  • More Than Human: Psionic gift will be extremely rare
  • War Weariness: scemeranno funding with the passage of time
  • E-115: Elerium degrades over time
  • Total Loss: the death of the soldier will lose all equipment
  • Alternate Sources: the cost of an energy source to build considerably increases implants

In interviews the guys at Firaxis have asserted that these options were designed originally for already the game and then withdrawn due to lack of time. Sure, will give a nice jolt to game balance.
