Stealth shinobis or bust

As someone suggested, the mod Hacking Plus is the answer to all your problems here. The alternative if you want, is to manually tweak the hacking gain per class in the XComClassData file under 844674609\Config (the number being Long War 2's workshop directory). You'll be looking for the aStatProgres...

Suppose it depends doesn't it. In the early game where you have absolutely no need for a healing item that heals for more than 4, the upgraded medkits would indeed be a waste of resources. But later on as you get various health buffs your healthbars just extend on and on, making healing for 4 health...

I have similar problems, but less about keeping my squads alive and more about trying to get the enemy pods to fight ME and not focus exclusively on the resistance members. Seems no matter how suppressed, overwatched and flashbanged the enemy is, they still somehow always find a way to butcher half...

I'm pretty sure it also affects what type of enemies show up.

So maybe one light-moderate had more sectoids and vipers, and the other light-moderate had more advent troopers?

I heard on Joinrbs stream that during testing, some testers played with AWC perks revealed but it didn't make to the final version, due to some skills like serial being too good to know in advance. [/b] This is the most insane balance reasoning I have ever heard for anything in my entire life. This...

You are a platoon on a flying ship, backed by countless fleshy civilians with crap guns vs a well equipped planetary defense force that can replenish itself at a whim and is backed up by superior alien forces.

You aren't supposed to get the upper hand.

While I disagree and think Covering Fire is a very very strong perk to take because of how often you end up hitting overwatch shots and shots against enemies in full cover as your soldiers rank up and get insane aim bonuses, AWC perks are in kind of a weird spot in general. Oftentimes you just get t...

A silent glass cutter would change everything.

I vaguely remember a mod that did this.

Don't remember what it was called though, or if it would even work with LW.

I too attempted to defeat every pod before accessing the console, thinking reinforcements were finite. Best strat is to just, try and sneak your way in, whack the console as soon as possible, and murder the pod set to guard it while they are stunned, and then take your time clearing out the rest of ...

I was under the impression that you didn't get any tangible rewards at all if you killed the VIP.

This one mission I had offered +1 Resistance Contacts and 20 something intel, and I figured I'd try and whack the VIP with a sharpshooter for once.

Did the mission - got nothing.

You aren't recovering the VIP's for yourself and the Avenger.

They are handed over to the resistance.

I feel that it's entirely possible that this is intentionally as to make it harder to snipe relays.

I mean I could be wrong, but I've never seen any other weapon get low/graze level rolls when firing at the relay.

>Ranger useless The Ranger is one of the strongest classes in the game overall - if you play using volume by fire and aggressive defense. If you build them towards overwatch, and field multiple at the same time, you can essentially just camp wherever and butcher entire pods who patrol into you, and ...
