Starting a new game after failing on XCOM 2. What should I do? I played Xcom 2 on veteran 15-20 hours. After the first Blacksite mission all other missions started to get little too hard for me. I had to savescum on all missions and after that it got into point where all/most squad members died on missions. I had some of my weapons upgraded to magnetic and I did use regular armor, cause couldn't afford better one at that point. 

I started a new game on rookie, but i'm thinking of going back to veteran and doing some things different this time.

I'm not totally bad at this game. Would say i'm one step/half step above casual :D. I played Xcom - EW on normal. It got pretty easy on later game using mec-troopers and augmented soldiers. But this game just beats my ass after 10 hours and is at least another step more difficult than Enemy Within.

If I start again on veteran. What should I do to not get my squad pwned.
