Shen: commander, it is with great pleasure I present to you the prototype of the new Archangel armour. Commander: so it’s Titan armour with a built-in jet pack. Shen: effectively, yes. Now, we had to cut down on armour plating to accommodate- Commander: Snipers. Shen: …excuse me, commander? Commander: (sips coffee) issue this armour to all our snipers.

I remember the first multiplayer match I won was using a single high ranking sniper with archangel armor along with a couple of low ranking supports. It was nasty

@@dartog4967 Why does everyone call actually effective items and strategies "busted" or "OP"? Do you have any idea how "unfair" real weapons are? When something feels cheep, and like it makes everything easy, congrats! You're experiencing a fraction of what the thing should be giving you. I swear to god, science, and the power of fucking friendship that if the average video game player learned that most shotguns keep all pellets within a human-torso sized area at half a football field's distance from the shooter, their heads would explode from all the "OPnes"! Fuck's sake. Let games have ANYTHING be actually realistic for a change. Please. This armor was about a tenth as awesome and effective as it really would be to have in real life. Stop making things lame for the sake of balance. You do know that it's not actually possible to balance most games, right? The second one side can do something the other side cannot do, it's mathmaticlay impossible to make it fair. How about we make it fun instead? How about you stop nerfing things into the ground via your demands so I don't have to wonder why the actual fuck humanity's best defense against the xenos is using guns as potent as a wet fart and consequently, wonder if I can help the aliens cleanse this planet of the shame that is the humanity of this universe instead.

@@MeepChangeling you do know that video games are made to be fun and challenging right? if i wanted it to be boring and repetitive i'd ask you to make it. Yes it's not realistic, but i play a game to enjoy it, not to press a "win" button. but if you do like it, there are plenty of mods that allow you to get completely op items "so that it's realistic". If that's really what you like, you can also name one of your soldier "sid meier", try it out, it is really funny to just instant win any mission. Also that last part of your comment was just edgy and cringe at the same time.

definitely try the Long War mod if you haven't, then you can have a sniper with Snapshot, Squadsight, Lock & Load, and In The Zone. Just pop off 2 full rounds of shots at all the flying enemies. The downside of the mod is even after you've done this, there's about 10 more active aliens left to kill.

If you're still curious, it's implied everything was lost and the designs were all that remained, the spider suit mentions an old prototype grappling hook from the old xcom servers, so odds are everything was lost tech after what happened to the old base, some could be salvaged, but not as much as you'd like. Though whether or not stuff like the firestorm or archangel armor even existed is up to debate, the lore of xcom 2 is really spotty at times as to what did and did not happen.
