How do I get an XCOM hero?
After getting your squad together, if you rename your squad member in the customization settings, if you change the name to a specific name the game will make it a "special" XCOM hero. There are two others you can get as XCOM heroes, all discovered through the default.ini configuration settings:
;SUPER SOLDIERS!!
;Sid Meier BodyPartTemplateConfig=(PartType="Head",
TemplateName="Supersoldier1_M",
ArchetypeName="Head_Supersoldier1.ARC_Head_Supersoldier1",
Gender=eGender_Male, Race=eRace_Caucasian, SpecializedType=true)
;Beaglerush BodyPartTemplateConfig=(PartType="Head",
TemplateName="Supersoldier2_M",
ArchetypeName="Head_Supersoldier2.ARC_Head_Supersoldier2",
Gender=eGender_Male, SpecializedType=true) ;VanDoorn
BodyPartTemplateConfig=(PartType="Head",
TemplateName="Supersoldier3_M",
ArchetypeName="Head_Supersoldier3.ARC_Head_Supersoldier3",
Gender=eGender_Male, SpecializedType=true)
So basically, you just need to rename your squad member to either:
- Peter Van Doorn
- Sid Meier
- Beaglerush
In order to get an XCOM hero!
For reference, Peter Van Doorn is a famous NPC you can rescue in XCOM: Enemy Unknown.. Sid Meier is a famous developer who is the creator of the Civilization series and director of Creative Development for Firaxis Games. Beaglerush is a famous XCOM streamer and youtuber.
