How to obtain the additional soldier customisation options in XCOM: Enethe Within

xcom-enemy-unknownxcom-enemy-within

I have noticed some videos on YouTube showing the soldier customisation screen with more options (e.g different suit/colours/helmet).

Is this a cheat or just an additional DLC pack I don't know about?

The extra customization options were originally a pre-order bonus for XCOM Enemy Unknown. They are now available via the Elite Soldier DLC pack.

Despite the price, this DLC is very important to obtain so that all of your soldiers can have the original X-COM "Guile" style hair.

Here is a description of promotion bonuses. The wiki says each soldier gains 2-6 Will per promotion, plus another 2-6 if Iron Will is researched...

BUT

Looking into a magic file of DefaultGameCore.ini, I see:

iRandWillIncrease=6
iBaseOTSWillIncrease=2
iRandOTSWillIncrease=4
...blah blah each class gets +2 will each rank

This suggests that it is 2-8 Will per rank without Iron Will, and 4-14 with. Does it correspond with everyone's experience?

The .exe file which starts Enemy Within is located at:

"\XEW\Binaries\Win32\XComEW.exe", which is under your XCOM folder. With that said, simply right click, drag and create a shortcut ;)
