The issue with the wording in Killzone is this: it gives Longwatch , but not Squadsight . Longwatch lets you overwatch in Squadsight range if you have it . The base assumption in the vanilla wording, that PI did bit change, is that you would invariably have Squadsight. So in short, if the soldier ha...

CuP as well as every other reaction fire accuracy bonus does in fact add accuracy after the penalty from reaction fire. Reaction fire, after it calculates accuracy per normal, further multiplies the final value by 70%, so if a normal shot would have 80 to hit a reaction shot would have 56 to hit (56...

LW2 rulers are now completely non threats, yes, since they only have a 20% chance to react

I personally would hate having will do anything to the psi op abilities, for me it's like asking for shinobi accuracy be based off of their dodge stat. Same for untieing the amp from the damage of their abilities, it's their secondary weapon, it's the tool that makes the job work. So not a fan of th...

Well they took that philosophy with ammo too apparently; the best ammos are the low tier corpse-less AP and tracer rounds. :cry: I don't understand EMP grenades/bombs myself, way too situational, damage is rather close to regular frags, and there are so many other better ways to deal with robots. I...

You know, I like the idea of making troop movement and supply convoy quick reaction missions. My favorite part of those missions is bringing a large squad against an outrageous number of enemies, reducing squad size removes one of my favorite parts of the mission. There simply isn't enough advent HQ...

So I have a mission infiltrating now in a region with 7 strength, and it's a light hack mission on a train with a 14 day timer on it. Surely this is a trap mission, right? But here's the kicker: It also says it will counter a dark event. My questions are these: If a hack mission is a trap, can it f...

Strategic DEs are supposed to last just a month. On the other hand they can chain like crazy, and the volume of missions in LW2 really skews what 'one month' feels like. No, it's not just a feeling, for instance someone in another thread dug in the code and found out the strategic haven infiltrator...

6.- Shinobi Evasive: How does it work? I don't know if it put 100% dodge or if it add +100% to the current dodge. And how it is removed? totally, partially, when receve a graze or a hit? explosive damage removes it? Easiest way to picture it is that it forces the first hit to be a graze. I do belie...

Oh, they don't say "tactical upgrade" when you look at the dark events list. It just says "alien conditioning." I've also wondered what other dark events are actually permanent. I suspect firewalls is permanent but I can't be sure, it doesn't say tactical when you look at your d...

I think it does the same thing, it's literally called Alien Conditioning and doesn't say tactical upgrade on it. It says something like aliens field tougher units, which I take to mean additional hp. Hrm... *checks more files* Okay, checking the localization files turns out it is exactly what I was...

You can understand my confusion on that as the alert doesnt say "for a month" like a few others, and its affect is in the tactical layer where every other DE is permanent. I definitely understand your confusion. There are some events which I suspect are permanent (like alien conditioning)...

i understand this is currently to prevent clutter on the geoscape, but it hurts the game. so... increase the amount of unexpired missions allowed per region, so we do not have to do boring repetitive missions just to "clear the board" to make room for haven to spot the important missions....

I've only little experience, but what's wrong with Battlescanners as they are? The biggest issue is they might as well not exist in the game currently due to how hard they are gated and the nerfs the have seen with x2. To get them in LW2 you need a proving ground (May or June the earliest you are b...

I do believe the very base of all the complaints lies in #2, don't think the randomness is quite the worst factor but in general the abilities they bring to the table are generally considered not worth the investment on them.

Bonuses are a little bit hard to calculate, but I do have the values straight of the config files. Covertness: 0.0075/mission, cap 0.25 Will: 1/mission, cap 40 Dodge: 1/mission, cap 20 Aim: 0/mission, cap 0 Defense: 0/mission, cap 0 Notice the aim and defense, they're zero but you can configure for ...

He also had some incredibly awful luck too, such a large amount of high chance shots missing, incredibly low chance shots hitting him. The downward spiral started when that 4% crit landed. Somewhat true. His ranger would never have missed the Sectoid Commander if not for some really heavy Red Fog. ...

See, the reason xwynns haven't used stocks is because... He has hardly found any! Much how you hardly found scopes.
I think that's mostly bad luck, but scopes are also a little rarer.

Cool Under Fire applies to all reaction shots, including Suppression and Close Combat Specialist. It increases by one tile the same way more mobility would increase your movement by one time. It just widens the radius by one tile in general (and remembering there's four 'spokes' in the square) Mayhe...

It would be cool to see these implemented natively in LW2, although Julian does have a point. Even if the code from these mods can be copypasta'd into LW2 with no problems, Pavonis would still be taking on the responsibility of maintaining this functionality going forward. They only have so much ma...

Holy shit that's a better perk than I thought!

It does not applies to non-aimed attacks, actually. It used to, but it doesn't anymore. But yes, it's all units.

I'm not exactly sure why Firaxis changed it, because I think most people probably assume it works the way, but in XCOM 2 it was changed to be independent of hitting the target - if you have a 10% crit chance it means that 10% of the time when you hit the 'shoot' button you will get a critical hit, ...

Tried for the fifth time I think, this time with smoke. - full cover - smoke - kms of distance Vs 3 sniper serpens Results: 3 serpens firing, all of them successfully hurted (full dmg) my xcom = soldier dead These cute serpens will be nicely nerfed as they deserv, .ini i'm coming <3 You're reloadin...
