There’s a lot more that just haven’t been discovered yet. Please let me know if you find more codes that can be added. Also, make sure to check steam workshop for mods. Some mods make the guns better, armor, classes, skills, etc.
HELP THE GAME RUN BETTER
Xcom 2 is not great optimized. Follow these steps to increase framrate:
- Disable: anti aliasing
- Disable: Depth of field
- Disable: action camera
I’m running this game with a high-end graphics card and I still got lots of FPS-drops. When I turned these options off my framerate went from 30 to between 60-90 fps most of the time!
