Morbius' Laboratory Overhaul reworks the lab experiments in XCOM 2, replacing stat penalties with combat bonuses and switching costs from credits to intel.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-tested with 382 endorsements and 24k downloads.
- Removes the stat penalties that make experiments feel like a trap.
- Intel cost makes experiments a strategic choice, not a credit sink.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2023 — may not be compatible with the latest XCOM 2 patches or DLC.
- Only affects lab experiments — if you're looking for broader gameplay changes, this won't scratch that itch.
For XCOM 2 players who want to use the lab without sacrificing stats, especially those who prefer aggressive builds. Skip if you're fine with the vanilla trade-off or want more comprehensive overhaul mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using the Steam Workshop, just subscribe and enable the mod in the launcher — no manual install needed.
- The optional 'combat bonuses only' file is a separate download; pick one version to avoid conflicts.
- Check your mod load order — place this after other gameplay overhauls to ensure it takes effect.
