Re: Is wet work worth it now?

I purchased Wet Works and just started the RNF farming in my current V/I campaign. I am consistently getting 9-12 more kills permission (about doubling total kills in ELight or VLight missions as others have stated) before buggin' out. My first two missions where I farmed RNFs I had a soldier promot...

Re: A couple beginner 1.3 questions

I know a successful hack of a drone does not break concealment. This is quite useful early game to help get by those roaming single drone pods that threaten to spot your squad...just shut them down and walk by...allowing you to go loud on something else closer to the objective.

Re: PI thoughts on mod that gives player vigilance information

You can mostly keep track of Vigilance by region with a paper and pencil (missions run +1, week's time -1 kind of thing)...so the mod helps by cutting out that tediousness. Thematically, XCOM should have a good idea of how 'on alert' Advent is within a given region to XCOM's activities.

Re: Lothing for the new patch 1.3

Rookies gonna Rook (someone once said)...

It's an unfinished mod of a video game. Have fun! Laugh at your own expense - viewers will feel the emotions you portray!

Oh and remember Rule # 27 in the XCOM Rookie handbook: Nade those Drones.

Re: Rookie Blackjack: how to manage RNG

Excellent RNG analysis/post chrisb! Some questions - if a soldier receives a Promotion but I don't immediately promote him, can that soldier receive a second promotion if he goes on further missions (i.e. bank his first promotion)? I think there's a cap on soldiers only receiving 1 promotion per mis...

Re: Is the 'Beagle maneuver' still cheap?

I do use it a lot on Rendezvous (kill Faceless) missions where all that you have is maybe 1 Soldier Haven Advisor and some Rookies. Setting it up from height advantage (usually there is 1 building in the middle of those maps to use) for some aim bonus helps a lot. One side note - if you have 2 pods ...
