Can I increase the speed of combat in XCOM?
Posted On: June 20, 2023

XCOM Enemy Unknown is a beautiful game, but you can only see every 5 second animation so many times before it becomes repetitive and self-indulgent. Is there a way to make the animations go faster or speed combat up in some other way, so that I can spend more time strategically exterminating aliens and less time watching my operatives shoot their guns?


Question from user kotekzot at stackexchange.


Answer:

You can use the XCOM ToolBoks mod to speed up combat in several ways:.


Speed up time in combat up to 9 times, with hotkeys to turn it on and off.


Remove the alien detection dance.


Remove the 1.75 second delay after activating hunker down and overwatch.


There are many other options, one particular time-saver that doesn't have to do with combat is the ability to set the chance of successful Psi testing, which saves a lot of time if you're saving and reloading to make all of your dudes psionics.
