Given that the blaster launcher is a guided weapon, I wanted to adjust the accuracy of the Blaster Launcher. Unfortunately, I did not see such info in the ini files on a search.

How can I accomplish this?

I used to use Sapper at LCpl, but I started picking Needler most of the time on damage Grenadiers (not being satisfied with Sapper most of the time). A small point some may be missing is that you can use the grenadier as a cleanup crew member, particularly when coupled with Tandem. Just nudge the la...

I originally liked the infiltration idea, but after playing LW2 some if eventually started feeling overdone. Why are all missions on a draw down by ADVENT? Surely, they would be building up forces somewhere that I might be interested in a target there. I haven't been able to play WoTC yet, but I am ...

I suppose I will be in the minority here, but I am not a fan of artificial caps, and that includes artificial experience-earned caps. If the guys killed the troops they should get the experience. This could be remedied by having a incrementally increasing number of troops or troop power in the pods ...

In the classdata.ini you find a variable pcs-slots=1 or the like that every soldier gets when being promoted to squaddie. You might check what happens when you set this to 2. Thanks for the reply since not many seem to be answering. Unfortunately, I checked both the vanilla DefaultClassData.ini and...

I see where to modify continent bonuses, but how does one remove them from the pool of possible assigned bonuses?

I saw a kill assist in the LW2 code, I thought. Is it inactive?

I don't think flashbangs are overpowered. Disorient does not completely shut them down. I've had plenty of soldiers wounded and a few (mostly rookies) killed by disoriented ADVENT. If any changes were made perhaps a 80 or 90% effectiveness, maybe weighted by will but not explicitly based on will. If...

I have a slightly different idea. If you can find where the coding is implemented for the Fire Control PCS (shouldn't be too hard) simply create 3 new abilities for soldiers, and copy over the code for the Fire Control PCS. Should do the job. That's a good idea, but I kinda just wanted a quick-n-di...

I guess I'm in the minority here, but Hail of Bullets is one of the things that make me think gunners are worth having. It's only one guaranteed hit every few rounds. I'm a little surprised at the strong reaction to them as overpowered. Being able to click on Hail of Bullets is a relief when things ...

Personally, I would like to start in some of the 2-region countries for a change. I don't think any of the continent bonuses are that overpowered that it would have a major effect on the game, not more than some other random effects elsewhere.

Haven't read the whole thread, but a few thoughts. First off, more solo-drones when the party is size 3 or less. If you've got three soldiers, then you're almost certainly doing a stealth mission. Solo drones can significantly hinder stealth without increasing combat difficulty much. Personally, I ...

You can adjust the Bolt Caster's Aim Buff in the LW Weapons Ini. I've been playing with +10 Aim at Conv, +15 at Mag, and +20 at Plasma. The +10 has elevated it from "never" to "sometimes on that one guy with decent Aim." After 1.2 drops I'll be tempted to bump everything up by 5...

I humbly request that X2Condition_RequiredToHitChance be changed to look for FireControl25, FireControl50 and FireControl75 as effects instead of soldier abilities, so other modders can make stuff that allow for toggling those effects at player discretion. I realize that this would require changing...

Faceless in havens there is to much of them! I tired of 1-2+ every month rendezvous, it interesting first time but then become most routine and boring missions type in the game. It also feels stupid, if the advent can easely have 1-4 faceless in every haven, why resistance still exist? I think face...

The one round clip and no mods makes it useless in my book. I assume that the no-mods limitation was why they gave it stun and +15 to hit in vanilla. That made it worth the one shot limitation there, so I am a little perplexed as to why Pavonis nerfed it, at least with the quantities of enemies tha...

See "equipment stats including weight" for ini modding http://ufopaedia.org/index.php/Customizing_LW2 awesome! thanks, now I don't feel as bad equiping my guys with ammo... i mean, why would tracers weigh more than reg ammo, sheesh The only problem is that the base weight for small things...

I'm not a fan of the new "Fire Control" PCS items (should just be a setting, since the commander could just give an order to only engage when favorable in overwatch), so I was trying to find a workaround. One way is to just give a second PCS slot which I would use just for fire control PCS...

Call it a "Advanced Conditioning and Training" tube. Select the soldier and pick: Aim, Will, Move, Hack, Health, Dodge. After a training period that single attribute is improved (Aim, Dodge, Hack, Will by 3-7 and Move, HP by 1). The training time is predicated on the soldier's existing sk...

The PCS for Overwatch thresholds is a horrid, ugly kludge; different OW commands keyed to the threshold%s should be the baseline... I agree, and the kicker is having to pay 5 supplies for the privilege when the commander could just yell and tell them not to take those shots. :) It should just be a ...

Agreed. Since assigning and recalling advisers is a zero-cost action there is no point in restricting interactions with them. I would even go as far as let them do everything (go on missions or place in special training with a "removing adviser" warning, change gear and the like). Agreed ...

I've got an assault guy using boltcaster, works just fine. His run & gun is on a timer anyway, so reloading isn't a problem for him. I had not ever really considered an assault, but I'll give it some thought when the Bolt Caster is first introduced. It would give him some decent ranged power ea...

Main reason to use coil weapons: they look and sound so much better then plasma. I personally apologize to each soldier when I upgrade them to a plasma weapon. Sorry dude(tte), you can have your shiny back when the world is free. :) Yes, that will be my only sorrow. I'm too much of a perfectionist ...

Personally I just removed grenade and ammo weights altogether. This was mostly sparked by smoker/flashbanger perks actually slowing you down, so I said to hell with it, that's going away now. I kept weight for everything else; pistols, vests, etc. I would like to mod it down, but not out. Unfortuna...
