A little later than I had hoped, but Feral Interactive have released the Alien Hunters DLC for XCOM 2 along with a patch to bring it up to the same level as Windows.
Feral did say this on reddit before the release:
So either Firaxis or 2K held it up for some reason.
The DLC adds in new weapons, new enemies, a new building for your base and more.
You can find the patch notes here. Version 1.2 is quite a big patch, and it has these Linux-specific fixes on top of the large amount of other changes for all platforms:
Good stuff Feral! Still one of my favourite releases on Linux and I look forward to getting back into it with all the latest goodies which I was holding out for recently. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: edddeduckferalQuoting: DePingusI'm getting a missing DLC / Mod error when I try to load my save game. Its looking for the Resistance Warrior Pack which was pre-order DLC, and the only DLC that I own. Steam shows the DLC is installed. Verifying the game cache integrity in Steam didn't help.
CANNOT LOAD SAVE GAME
The selected Save is missing required Downloadable Content or Mods:
"Resistance Warrior Pack"
Choosing to load it may result in a negative experience such as poor performance or
instability. Proceed at your own risk.
Running on Fedora 23, AMD FX-8320, AMD R9 270, Mesa 11.1.0
Make sure you restart Steam client then verify your installation that should force the Steam client to pickup the patch correctly. There were a few issues shortly after launch where some pre order content didn't update correctly but a restart of the Stema client (as that forces the client to get new ownership info) should clear the problem. You will likely get a download at this stage as the missing files update/reinstall.

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, this didn't work. Steam shows the pre-order DLC is installed, but the game still doesn't see it. Just to see I started a new game, did the first mission, got to base, and checked the armory. I only have regular kevlar and the old war survivor soldier is not there. I think that rules out an issue with the save.

Mmm.. not heard of anyone else having this issue. I'd try purging the "~/.local/share/feral-interactive/XCOM2/" folder (make sure you keep a backup just in case) then allowing the game to reset and re-download save games from the Steam cloud.
If that doesn't work do email support however being a super rare issue (based on reports so far) trying to work out why your machine is playing up might not be a quick process if the standard methods don't work.
