The luckiest Berserker Queen engagement ever (XCOM 2 Highlight) 

XCOM logic: 95% chance to hit the boss: Fails to hit. 5% chance to instantly kill the boss: Succeeds to excecute.

RNGsus giveth, RNGsus taketh.

3:30 someone is getting a fucking promotion

My first time through Xcom 2, I overwatch executed the final Avatar as it spawned, felt kinda cheap but I laughed for a solid hour at how easy it was, luck it most legitimate tactic in this entire game.

Then the car explodes and kills clutch and the civilian.

That was XComs why of saying sorry for missing the hundreds of times where you had a 95% chance to hit or higher.

Same thing happened to me with the archon king. Somehow, I'd managed to kill the fist two ruler aliens before I'd even upgraded my guns to magnetic guns, so the archon king showed up and I was still using level one weapons and I was like, "I'm fucked, but I'm not gonna make it easy for you!" With that in mind, I had one of my grenadiers fire at him and I had attached to the weapon a basic repeater and a basic stock. Needless to say, I fully expected to watch my entire squad get massacred, but that first shot missed, but the stock allowed it to still cause damage and that was enough for the repeater to activate and execute the king. I ended up finishing the mission without getting hit once. Before that happened, I was an agnostic. Now, I go to church every Sunday. (That last part was a joke.)

I was on a similar mission when the beserker attacked and my team was on a building getting ready to evac, I had to blow the floor beneath him and every other access point to the roof to stop it. probably the coolest moment in the entire game, having to think on my feet.

Bullshit... This doesn't rectify all of my _"95% chance to hit"_ misses especially when flanking. There needs to be a mod that adds a sound effect of a dice roll every moment you make a low/high chance decision, I'd go insane from that alone...

I also got lucky with the queen on my last campain, a 5% repeater killed her in the first turn from overwatch :)

Oh shit a boss alien!!! She's gonna kill- aaaaaaaaand she's gone!

I hope he played the lottery after that.

I've had a few lucky executes on Alien Rulers and Chosen. The funniest Berserker Queen engagement I had was one in which the Queen was triggered at a distance, but couldn't see any of my soldiers, and so she set about killing an entire pod of Advent troops.

You executed a queen?????!!!!!! I can not believe your luck!

A Singular Strike~!

On my last playthrough, I had a repeater attached to my rookie support and she fucking nailed a one hit kill on the Archon king. I loved her and made sure she survived to see the end of the war.

I remember my ranger executing the archon king on my first encounter, it was glorious.

I remember the joy of my Specialist executing a -Beholder- Gatekeeper, and then the next turn the game crashed. Karma. The rebooted encounter did not go quite so well.

misses a 95%, hits a 5%. RNJesus taketh and he giveth!

Executing bosses is great. I executed the Julian Sectopod my first shot

That soldier could have strolled into a Home Depot filled 5 feet deep with white golf balls blindfolded and picked up the one black one in the whole place on her first try with luck like that.

And this is exactly why you should always have that instant kill equipment on even if it's just 5% chance.

The execution weapon attachment always leaves me with a shocked face of joy. Because it always seems to pick the right enemies to kill. The amounts of clutch moments I have had with it is insane. I love this attachment.

No fuckkn way... I would have looked up to god and said. Why not 2 turns ago!!!!!

0:06 - that is the ONLY correct reaction to this very first encounter

NO. FRIGGING. WAY. HAIR TRIGGERS FOR LIFE.

Reminds me of the time Last ruler alien was escaping, and going to book it after a single action. Only team member who had actions left was my sniper. First she missed a 99% shot, after which Hair trigger activated, and she hit the second one and killed the alien.

Mate, got that execution on every one of the bosses but only after taking serius damage. Felt really fucking good to see the floater one just drop out of the air. Don't knock repeaters, when they rock their magic it is something else

I had the exact same thing happen with my first playthrough when I encountered the Berserker Queen.

Impressive, very nice. . . . Let's see Paul Allen's overwatch reaction shot

Gonna love that repeater

Very Lucky shot by Goodnight.

Misses on a 95% Insta kills on a 10%

"Welp. This is gonna suck." For the queen that is! :D

that 5% chance to insta-kill really came through?!!

That happened to me. Two of my guys were down, one still had an action and the rest were to far away to help. One shot, one kill. Made my day.

One of the best feelings in gaming. When that execute procs.

And your soldier is all like: "Git gud, Berserker bitch!"

People: Hair Trigger sucks Hair Trigger:

When she killed the Queen, Solider said. "Did you see that?"

Pete and repeater were sitting on a boat, and Nebohtes puts repeaters on every gun until those three mobs are dead.

Had that happen twice so far. Still makes me smile!

Xcom: *Sends powerful enemy at the worst time* execution: DONT MIND IF I DO!

Me: well looks like I’m dead XCOM: *Executed!!* Me: a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

Executes the Berserker Queen while on Overwatch XCOM: Wait, that’s illegal!

6 overwatches and 6 superior repeaters is my recipe for an Alien Ruler takedown.

I have this soldier named WatchDog. He's one of my favorites. I gave him one of those execution mods and he's used it well. One time he killed the Archon boss on a reaction shot when it showed up on screen for the first time. That got me an achievement. That's not even the only boss he's executed.

Sometimes, just sometimes, I love a victory caused by a giltch

On a recent playthrough the viper king fight ended as quickly as it started he appeared moved and everyone on overwatch unloaded on him and one soldier executed him. Next one Berserker queen fight was an avenger defense mission she rolled up close to the ramp and a ranger executed her too. (The one was hard) Archon king first time he escaped 2nd time nearly killed him escaped again third time executed immediately after discovery him. The 10% chance became a must have on all weapons.

There is almost nothing in gaming that is quite as satisfying as the clutch execution in XCOM, haha.

Luckiest beserker queen engagement now goes to EE with his one shot, one kill banish.

So many hours in this game, never seen this thing before. Kinda glad.

I killed the Berserker Queen accidentally by a epeater-attached sniper rifle when a sharpshooter was long-watching :P

So THAT'S where all my luck from my 95% HIT disappeared to when I needed it

You see, a 5% triggering is the same as a 95% NOT triggering, so it only makes sense that it happens immediately

One time I managed to encounter a Queen on it's turn while my whole team was on overwatch. That took care of a third of health. Then a mixture of freeze bombs, acid grenades, and flame grenades ate through it's armor and made it's movement almost nonexistent. It got about half way to me before a sniper crit destroyed it.

Same basic thing happened to me the very first time I encountered the Queen up there ;) All but one member of my squad was perched up on a ledge with Overwatch active because she was nearly the last enemy remaining; one guy has a 5% Execute chance -- She shows up, five shots ring out: MISS MISS MISS MISS EXECUTED! ...in that order. Got me a cheevo or two, too!

Me in the first Xcom run: Okay... I got this. You, go down that ladder, that's where the VIP is. Xcom: *spawns Berserker Queen next to VIP* Me:... Okaayy. *Berserker Queen K.O's person with frost bomb.* Me:... Okaaayyy. *Forgets about the skull jack I just did. Codex spawns in.* Me:*nervous*... Okaaaayyyy. *The f***ing AVATAR SPAWNS IN* Me:............ *weak laughter* I'm in danger.

RNGsus brought this video in my feed. Very lucky shot. Gonna have to reinstall X-Com 2 again now that I've watched this.

I'm subbing not because of the insane luck but because of the comment "Every revolution's gotta have a blooper reel.". With all the 99% shots i've missed...buildings i've blown up by "accident"...i can get behind that comment and the writer of it.

Can't believe this was 5 years ago

Had that happen a couple days ago. Really glad I picked up Xcom2 again after a couple of years off.

Hehehe... Reminds me of my fight against, I think the warlord, in his lair. He just revived himself, went into a monologue, stepped off his platform... and Mox with his puny bullpup just executed him on the spot. I fell from my chair laughing 😂

5% chance in XCOM is basically like never. I'd play the lottery if I were you.

That 95% shot miss compensated for the 5% chance of insta kill

Oh my god. You were so toast, but then... Bliss.

I’m suprised you even tried to fight it instead of just extracting immediately

As soon as I saw you swap to the one with the repeater, I knew I was in for a clip

RNGESUS HAS SMILED UPON YOU

My luckiest moment was killing the Archon King with the 5% chanxe during Overwatch when he first appeared.

I remember on a second encounter with the Berserker Queen, I lucked out with my sniper and got an insta-kill. I was amazed, because this was a lower level sniper than the previous engagement I had with the Queen, and she kicked my team’s ass of two generals, a couple of majors and a lieutenant. One general and two majors died getting that stupid thing to half health, then a lucky sniper shot is was ultimately ended it.

I had a similar engagement with the Viper King. Specialist (with the instakill perk) was on overwatch...King was executed instantly before he could even attack. A thing of beauty, but unfortunately not one that was recorded.

When a battle medic hits you with a random crit with syringe gun on tf2.

That's Xcom, baby!!! Hope there is a new DLC in the making!

Now the berserker is grabbing his ankles

Same here. Retaliation mission, Overwatch executed her with the ranger she was going after.

no joke this actually happened when i first fought the queen

Berserker queen : ... FXXX, DIS, SHEET, I MA OUT.

I bring acid, poison, and incendiary grenades when hunting for rulers. It's hilarious watching them run around taking triple DOT every time I do something.

god bless the execution upgrade

The same thing happened with my sniper, was the greatest gift I was a given

Not sure who thought letting the repeater attachment insta-kill bosses was a good idea but if it works it works i guess

Thats XCOM baby!

Had that exact moment with the Archon boss (first encounter) during a Retaliation mission. He was in the air and I decided to send a ranger with a Repeater shotgun. Decided “fuck it” and fired at it and instakill’d it.

Even I said what, what! A bug just saved your bacon

I remember I got that on a Sectopod one time. Most beautiful thing in the world.

Same thing happened on my first run. On the mission the Viper King was introduced, the first shot to connect with the Ruler executed him. Got myself the Regicide achievement with one shot.

pretty much the exact same thing happened to me. I didn't even know what those Ruler things could do, and then suddenly the berserker queen appeared during the main mission, and it was kicking my ass. It was fairly early on in the game, I didn't even have magnetic weapons, so there was no chance for me to survive, let alone beat that thing. Feeling desperate, I just shot the shit out of him without cover, and luckily the repeater showed miracle and the berserker queen was executed. Best luck EVER.

That "oh shit" at the beginning basically sums up my entire time playing xcom 2 lmao

That happened to me, too. Executed it on the first encounter, and I think it may even have been before it damaged any of my guys.

My Jane Kelly executed the Berserker Queen with an overwatch shot with her shotgun as it was about to slam her. It was pretty epic how that single turn made all my preparations meaningless

In a war of the chosen playthrough recently was on the assassin's base mission. I destroyed the sarcophagus but most of my team was low health or blinded with multiple enemies to deal with. Used teamwork to give my reaper an extra shot and got execution on the assassin.

Repeaters on big enemies are sooo satisfying.

RNG gives , RNG takes .

I'm so happy this popped up in my recommended

Somebody has been praying to rngesus

Fuck yeah bro that was awesome. I killed the archon ruler that way. But with and over watch execution from my specialist. It was fucking sweeeeet.

Miss on targed that stand still... Xcom in a nutshell

equipped full squad with repeaters - gtfo choosens of my way! every single mission has at least one member who executed some aliens on it. gotta love it!

How the fuck is this even possible?
