The Elders are growing weak. Their power is no longer strong enough to hold the mind control over one of their most prizes possessions. The Chryssalid Hive Queen has broken free and running wild on Earth. She is building a new hive and taking back her children that still fall under the control of the Elders. She will not hesitate to kill anyone or thing in her way. The Hive will be reborn.

Rippers allow for Ripper Grenades to be built. These act like Needle Grenades from XCOM EU. Needles pierce though cover and solid objects to damage enemies but will not destroy cover or map objectives. Can be upgraded to Ripper Bombs later.

Drones offer 2 new PCS Chips.
PCS: Tactical Coverage = Grants the user the Covering Fire ability as well as a small defense bonus

PCS: Tactical Withdraw = Grants the user a mobility and dodge bonus as well as the ability, Get To Da Choppa. This ability can only be used in the evac zone and gives all human allies outside the Evac Zone +10 to dodge and +6 to mobility for 1 turn. User must not evac until all allies have taken their turn or the effects will be terminated, Now... GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!

Warriors offer 2 new PCS Chips.
PCS: Tactical Senses Offensive = Grants a boost to Dodge, Will and Mobility on the soldier for a short time when using Hyper Reactive Senses. Also has a permanent small boost to Mobility and Offense.

PCS: Tactical Senses Defensive = Grants a boost to Dodge, Will and Mobility on the soldier for a short time when using Hyper Reactive Senses. Also has a permanent small boost to Mobility and Defense.

Brood Mother grants a one time build Brood Gauntlet. This Gauntlet is a living organism that spews fire (like a flame thrower) But also has a tongue pull that is a free action and does not break concealment. This pull however, is meant to pull allies up to higher elevation and or from harm. The Gauntlet also lets you can in a Single Ripper that you can use as a scout, attack with and run up to enemies and sacrifice as a mobile Needle Mine.

Hive Queen grants a new Ruler Armor. This armor grants all her immunities, added HP, Armor and the ability to call in your own random Chrys follower(s). The Armor has 4 cosmetic Helms you can equip as well.

The Juvenile Queen and Hive Guard will offer you a one time build added weapon attachment for the Hive Queen Armor's Back. Hive Queen Wings and Guards Acid Cannon. Youll also start with Rending Claws on the Armor, that work like the Chameleon's claws. the Claws allow for rending/rupture and wall climbing, the wings allow you to fly up to higher elevation and dive bomb and the Acid cannon allows you to fire a glob of acid across the map and Grants Juggernaut... a form of wall breaking that is triggered by you, grants you an Action points back when used so you can run though walls and still have full actions to take the fight to the enemy. Or carry a fallen ally to safety.


MUCH MUCH more! New Sitreps as well a Rogue Hive faction. These are the Chrys that follow the Hive Queen. They can show up and attack EVERYONE. They will fight other Chryssalids that are on Advent's side. At any time when the Hive (Advent or Rogue Hive are in play, more Chrys can show up from either side)


The Hive Queen is a Ruler. However, she does not have Ruler Reactions because of the type of abilities she has. If she had the ability to react the way the other Rulers do, it would be WAY OP.
