XCOM 2: War of the Chosen, a brand new expansion pack and the largest ever in the series, introduces quite a few new things for fans. Along with a new enemy to face, players will have new factions to assist them. The Reapers are one of those factions and can be seen below.

The Reaper has a stealth ability called “Shadow Concealment” which allows units to remain invisible after an attack. They also use claymores that can be detonated by any player once set and high damage vector rifles.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen will also include the Templars and Skirmishers along with the Reapers, each with their own unique abilities and units. The expansion will also include new hero class units, new mission objectives and new environments to battle.

You can look forward to the expansion release on August 28th for Xbox One, PS4 and PC. What are your thoughts on the new faction? Let us know in the comments below.
