Re: Using snipers effectively.

Situational, but I've started loving my death from above-sniper in my last ambush mission. With a good stock, scope, tracer rounds and high ground obviously, she managed to kill one enemy every turn with 90+ cth against high cover. Got lucky with the damage rolls, I suppose, but still. On timed miss...

Re: Sapper/needle grenades, heat/tandem, combat engineer/full kit

No full level grenadiers on my playthrough yet, so no opinion on combat engineer vs full kit. Sapper/Needle Grenades: I like needle grenades early on, because there are quite a few enemies you can blow up with a single grenade. Midgame Sapper is more useful for me, because I like to open up with a g...

Re: Weapon attachments

Not sure about the "basic or advanced" part, but I do know that attachments attached to weapons do not count. BUT, since you can just take of weapon attachments in LW2 without losing them, there is no need to keep them in storage - attach them, and once you have enough, take them of and th...

Re: Balance: gunner secondary, chameleon suit

I actually like the knife, at least in the early game (which is what I'm at). Gunners don't have amazing aim in the beginning (I haven't actually looked if their gun gets an accuracy boos at close range, but it feels like they don't), so even if I move in to flank an enemy point blank I might have l...

Who gets to yell the orders in your squad? And misc Officer questions

Hey everyone, curious to hear what class you prefer for officers, and why. My first officer is a ranger ,mostly because... I like rangers, and bring one on almost every mission anyway. They are mostly in the middle of my formation, so that's nice for command range. Other than that, I didn't put that...

Re: AWC strategies

Didn't get super far until now, so maybe my AWC strategies will change over time, but for now: A Mix of greed and pistol. Since training slots are limited, I usually go through my soldiers and look who can get the most bang out of the training tube and send them in first. I then try to get some pist...
