How to Install Mods in Star Wars Zero Company: An Easy Step-by-Step Guide

In almost every PC strategy game, there comes a time when someone in the community takes one look at the official version, nods politely and starts improving it. Star Wars Zero Company has already reached this point. There's plenty of room for improvement in the base game, but mods can smooth out the rough edges, expand customization options, unlock additional options, and generally make the entire campaign feel more like a co-op game that suits your plans.

The good news is that modifying Zero Company isn't particularly difficult. The slightly less good news is that it's technical enough to confuse anyone who's never done it before, mainly because not all mods fit into the same folder. It is at this point that beginners most often stumble. Some mods use UE4SS, which means they need to be in the same place. Others are simple .pak mods which means they have to be in a completely different location. Once you understand this difference, everything else becomes much easier.

This guide walks you through the entire process, using the same screenshots we'd love to see ourselves trying to mod a game at midnight while Windows Explorer pretends to help.

The 7 Best Star Wars Villains Who Didn't Appear in the Movies

Luke Skywalker is undoubtedly one of the best heroes in movie history, but there is no debate about the best villain. Darth Vader regularly ranks among the top antagonists. However, Vader is not the only great villain in Star Wars.

There is also Emperor Palpatine, General Grievous, Count Dooku and Darth Maul. However, what they all have in common is that they appear in films. This doesn't mean that cartoons or comics are any less important. Here are a few characters that were nice to see in the movies.

Star Wars could fix Rey in a new era

Despite its financial success, the Star Wars sequel trilogy was met with mixed reactions from audiences and stymied Lucasfilm creatively. The decisions taken have an impact on the franchise to this day.

This became especially obvious after the weak box office performance of The Mandalorian and Grogu. The project finished its release with the worst box office performance in the history of the series.

Of course, this doesn't mean that everything was bad in the sequel trilogy. One of the highlights was Daisy Ridley's Rey. Especially her connection with Kylo Ren.

Unfortunately, she also became a victim of the lack of a clear development plan and constant scenario changes. As a result, the heroine was mostly used as a plot device, forcing her into the frankly strange role of Palpatine’s “granddaughter”. Even her adoption of the Skywalker surname at the end of episode nine seemed a bit pointless. Sure, it was a nice gesture - but what did it really do for the character?

Ultimately, Rey's storyline turned out to be nothing more than a classic "hero's journey" secondary to Star Wars as a whole. Luckily, the franchise now has a great opportunity to give Rey a decent story. Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the saga, so plans for the future are expected to be revealed.

Five years later, KOTOR Remake still shows the same scene - Lucasfilm only reminded that the game exists

Lucasfilm Games included a remake of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and Star Wars Eclipse in a new video with the company's main games. It would seem that this is an ordinary selection of projects, but there is an important detail: both projects were announced back in 2021, and no new gameplay has appeared during this time.

In the case of KOTOR Remake, the situation is especially significant. The video again uses footage from the very first trailer with Revan, so five years later, players were essentially shown the same scene that they saw at the announcement. At the same time, the appearance of the game in the selection at least confirms that the project has not been cancelled.

The KOTOR remake went through a difficult period of development and a change of team, which is why there was practically no information about it. Now Lucasfilm is again mentioning the game among its future projects, but the company has not disclosed any new footage, release date or details about the current state of development.

The situation is similar with Star Wars Eclipse: the game also appeared in the video with long-familiar footage. So far, it turns out that five years later, both projects are alive primarily thanks to rare reminders from Lucasfilm of their existence.

Zero Company players are already removing the campaign timer

At the heart of Star Wars Zero Company is a slightly unpleasant idea: you don't have to do everything. Missions appear on the holographic table, the cycles continue to move forward, opportunities disappear, and sooner or later the commander of Zero Company must decide which problem to solve and which to leave ominously blinking on the map of the galaxy. Naturally, PC players looked at this elaborate system of pressure, consequences and difficult decisions and came to the conclusion that they wanted to do everything after all.

A new PC mod called Mission and Campaign Time Control allows players to freeze the campaign time during tactical missions, allowing for the ability to complete multiple missions that would normally compete for the same limited cycles. The mod, created by Nexus Mods user Caites, was uploaded on September 1st and has already been updated for Zero Company patch 1.1.

In other words, one of the most thoughtful restrictions on Zero Company's advertising campaigns can now actually be disabled.

The developers of Star Wars: Galactic Racer talked about the skim speeder - the fastest gravity bike

The Fuse Games studio continues its series of videos and dedicated a new episode to the skim speeder, the fastest class of vehicle in the upcoming Star Wars: Galactic Racer. Unlike universal landspeeders and fast speeder bikes, this machine does not rely on acceleration, but on maximum speed and maintaining inertia.

According to the developers, the skim speeder has the lowest acceleration dynamics among the three repulsor classes, but after gaining speed it is able to overtake the others and maintain a high pace on long sections of the track.

The main feature of the vehicle is the ability “On the Edge of a Knife”. It allows you to tilt the vehicle almost on its side, making turns along a narrower trajectory without a significant loss of speed. That is why the skim speeder is considered the most technical and maneuverable option for experienced pilots.

The developers emphasize that there is no ideal racing trajectory: each type of vehicle is revealed on different lines of movement, which is why the races become more diverse and unpredictable

Star Wars: Galactic Racer will be released on October 6 on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5. The game will offer a single-player campaign with roguelike elements, arcade modes, deep vehicle customization and multiplayer races.

Star Wars Zero Company - XCOM in a distant Galaxy. Review

After the commercial failure of Marvel's Midnight Suns, it seemed like we could give up on big-budget turn-based tactics. The genre is already quite niche, and even if the Marvel brand didn’t help attract a large audience, then it’s all the same. However, everything turned out to be not so gloomy - Star Wars Zero Company, which plays in the same genre, judging by Steam statistics, is selling quite well and fully satisfies the needs of XCOM fans, offering exciting tactical battles and greatly complementing the rich Star Wars universe with new characters and conflicts.
