XCOM has a nice little surprise for those willing to go without achievements for the game: superhero ācheatā characters who, in addition to being maxxed out killing machines, are also famous video game developers.
Both Civilization creator Sid Meier and BioShock frontman Ken Levine are available, and accessible in about the simplest way possible: just go to your squad screen and change a soldierās name to⦠Sid Meier or Ken Levine. Itās that easy. You can see the ācheatā in action in the video above.
This obviously works just fine on the PC version, but Iām not too sure about the console editions. There are also two more āheroesā available who arenāt famous developers, one comics writer Joe Kelly, the other being Letās Play star Otto Zander
