XCOM 2 uses a pseudo-random number generator, which means your hits and misses are calculated using an algorithm that produces random-like results. Basically, it feels random, but there's some math behind the magic!
XCOM 2's RNG is not completely random. The game uses a fixed RNG seed at the start of each mission, which means outcomes are determined by your actions and sequence. Save scumming won't help you much here!
It's primarily random, but XCOM 2 does incorporate some mechanics like the 'shot percentage' shown for each attack, which can affect how random it feels.
