@WanWhiteWolf Just to specifiy, I'm not saying all the stunner perks are bad, I'm saying arc pulser specifically is bad, even if you are going for a stun gun build you don't really need it, and it's not that good.

I mean If i got light em Up on an assault sure. But If I had an assault who's mobility was so bad I didn't want to give him a shotgun, I feel like Id be better off just making him a haven advisor. An assault without a shotgun is pretty much a rookie. It'd be hard to justify bringing him along to mis...

The Arc Pulser Skill seems like a bad skill. It does 2-4 After Armor piercing damage, when your shotgun already does 2-4 after armor(No enemies have more than 2 armor for along time). As well you can pick up AP rounds and deal 4-6 with your basic shotgun, which has the advantage of 100% killing dron...

@Steve-0 To me a doable mission is one that is reducible to extremely light with 5 soldiers. I have successfully done missions with 4, but it is much riskier, and depends soldiers you have. As well I rarely intentionally stealth missions, so I don't go in with less than that. As well, I'm not trying...

@stefan311 While losing 1 soldier doesn't lose a campaign, it can cause things to snowball very quickly. Especially early game when soldier will is low, and you could have multiple panics. A single yellow alert, hit into kill could be the difference between succeeding a mission with no wounds and fa...

Personally I prefer the way LW 2 does it. Removing Squad upgrades creates smaller power spikes, instead of large changes to squad effectiveness when you finish a research. If something was to difficult to get, id rather decrease it's cost or research, over making it a squad upgrade.

I feel like the early game may be to swayed to much by luck. To me this is most felt by missions offered, faceless created and found, and soldiers 1 shot. To get into each specifically. For missions, I feel like you can have a huge swing in how many missions you are actually offered that are doable/...

I feel as though Death from above and Rapid targeting are both useful whereas, snap shot seems pointless. I feel this way, since from a class standpoint Id almost always rather have a ranger, than a snapshot sniper. At best, snapshot is making the best of a bad situation vs's working towards a class...

If that is the case, maybe these targets should show 100%, instead of no aim at all. Since not showing aim implies its guaranteed damage like combat protocol. Where as 100% would make sense with graze band. Still I personally would prefer if there wasn't grazes on these objects at all.

Some attackable targets, like data taps, and exploding barrels cannot be missed. However sometimes I notice my soldiers dealing damage to them outside of the weapons damage range. IE a 3-5 weapon dealing 2 to a gas tank. So the only thing I can think is that there are hidden grazes or hidden armor. ...

About # 4. I Thought I read somewhere that kill xp was capped per soldier, by mission xp. Are you saying there is currently no limit to the amount of xp 1 soldier can get in a mission by killing advent.

To my knowledge soldiers get XP from completing a mission and killing enemies but I was curiosity about some specifics 1. Do all enemies give the same kill XP 2. Is mission XP based on 100% infiltration, or does over and under infiltrating a mission change how much mission XP you get. 3. Since you c...

It was a mec.

I had an re-enforcement go into overwatch the same turn it dropped in. Is this supposed to happen or is this a bug?

To my knowledge advent gets a super command squad if you under infiltrate Supply raid's, and maybe certain other missions. So I had some question about the details of the command pod. What % do you see the command pod at. Do you have to face the command pod at anything under 100%. I infiltrated one ...

During the advent base assault I noticed that there were some big pods, and some small pods. As well there was a "command" Pod that was larger and more challenging. What this made me wonder is do some maps/missions have a minimum amount of stuff that is going to be assigned to a command po...

This should be the save file.

https://ufile.io/w7hub

I'm trying to find the save game, But in the savedata file everything just has numbers(IE save1, save2... ext). How do I find which one is the correct save.

Yes, I still have the file. How do I post to these forums? Do I just find some random upload site, or is there a preferred method?

I was playing a smash and grab on 1.3, and I cannot Evac. The Evac spawned on the edge of the map so only 2/3 of it was visible. However even on the 2/3 it doesn't let you evac. When I save load, the indicator for evac shows up. but after doing any movement, it disappears. I was using gotcha again a...

I think it would be nice if the holotargeter animation was reduced as part of LW 2. As of right now it takes insanely long 2 cast each time and you can potentially cast it 3 times in 1 turn if your sniper is specced that way. Now I realize that you can MOD it to be shorter, and in fact existing mods...

I have made the same mistake several times. Especially when I was starting, I would confuse the 2 all the time. Probably happened the most on faceless missions, where you have rebels with one or the other. Though I think I got used to checking because I don't make the mistake very often anymore. Ove...

@aedn It may be a case of information like you say. I consider Recruitment Retals to be the least intuitive of any map mode I have played so far. Generally speaking for other maps, you lose once and you know what to do. But with RR you can play several times and still not really be clear on how to p...

Difficulty Impossible Month: May (15) Advent Str: 5 Map Difficulty: Light No gameplay Mods besides LW2 I ended up doing to the mission 3 or 4 times, with different load outs + spawns and eventually beat it. I saved 1 civi, lost a Soldier, and got more than 50% of my A team wounded. I probably could ...

I had my first recruitment raid since I don't normally set many to recruit, and the mission seems darn close to impossible. I was spotted turn 0, by 2 groups, one of which Mind controlled one of my units. Moving uncovered a 3rd pod + a turret, and re-enforcement were set to come on turn 2. Now It's ...
