This guide will provide an explanation on this new and unique system in the game.

XCOM 2 War Of The Chosen Fatigue System Explanation

Fatigue can cause even victorious soldiers to lose steam in the next battle. Many players tend to ignore this system but do not do that. This is not similar to the physical wound system as tired soldiers can still be selected for battle.

Tired soldiers are most likely to be affected by negative conditions such as being panicked or obsessed. This makes soldiers fear particular types of enemies like having a fear of fire or being obsessed with having a full clip of ammo. This can make them refuse to obey your commands and they can also go on on their own. In the worst case, this includes taking shots at teammates.

Further ignoring these traits can make them develop long-term negative traits which require treatment for a couple of weeks.

So, how to avoid tiring out your soldiers? Treat the soldier in the new Infirmary room. They will be there for many days but when they return, they will be in tip top shape without any negative traits. Best way is still to avoid these negative traits. Allow these soldiers to rest and don’t take them on missions when they are tired. The tiredness/fatigue level is the bar below their health. Pay attention to it and any further information that the game gives you.
