Note: this guide focuses on using console commands and developer tools with XCOM 2 when running the Long War of the Chosen (LWOTC) mod. It covers enabling the console, important commands, how LWOTC changes behavior, troubleshooting, useful workflows for campaign debugging and playtesting, safe practices, and recommended mod utilities to provide a richer, safer experience than raw console use alone.

The Tactical Infiltration Skip

The biggest complaint about LWOTC is the "Infinite Scan." You are waiting for infiltration to hit 100%. You have 5 squads doing nothing. XCOM 2 — Long War of the Chosen:

• Better Command: ForceInfiltration [Percentage]
• Usage: Select the squad in the squad select screen. Type ForceInfiltration 100.
• Result: Your squad instantly infiltrates. You don't have to stare at the Geoscape for 7 days.

Best practices for safe testing with LWOTC

• Always copy your Saves folder before testing. Keep a dedicated “test” campaign.
• Use external save editors for bulk deterministic edits rather than random console commands.
• Prefer community debug/trainer mods that claim LWOTC compatibility.
• Keep a changelog of commands you ran in a session—easier to undo or reason about failures.
• Use lower-risk commands first (e.g., grant resources) before altering soldier class progression or replacing mission templates.
