Re: Faceless question

Any new rebel could be Faceless. And I'm not 100% sure that a successful Rendezvous clears all of them out of your Haven. Some may still be around. But as long as you're recruiting, Faceless will remain an issue. Any clearing of them is temporary at best.

Re: Is there any reason the game says "Extremely Light" instead of "Extremely Light (6–9)"?

I have started using this mod: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=749138678. It tells you in-mission what quantity is out there. I'm not the best at remembering things so it gives me a heads-up on what I'm facing. That mod sadly causes crash issues later in the run to the point w...

Re: Hunters/Ionic/Fusion axe bugged?

Haven't had things line up to try this with a full squad yet. But I did have a mission I sent in a 2-man to take down an enemy VIP. Sent Shinobi and Sharpshooter. Original idea was to snipe the VIP from squadsight range but the aliens were smart and had him in a location that made it impossible. My ...

Re: Disabling drone with Trojan Virus perk while under concealment breaks the mission

Seen this sort of thing too. Had a mission to destroy an alien transmitter thingy. Had a small squad go in to stealth up and nuke it. Ran into a drone.

If you get sick off waiting you can get the "extract corpses" mod. You can either carry them out or build a fulton harness to zip them straight up to the skyranger. That's what I ended up doing. Of course, can't build a harness yet, I never have money with this mod. :oops: Plus, when I do...

Re: Bug in Mainstory?

If the console can do it, forcing the Forge to spawn or forcing that busted contact quest to complete looks to be the way to go. But I've no idea either how to do those things though. Otherwise, I think it is game over and restart. Asking in that console command thread might get you an answer on ho...

When you researched the vial, that should have caused the Forge mission to spawn. The map icon for it looks like a group of m...

Re: Bug in Mainstory?

Blacksite mission gets you the green flask of DNA. Forge mission gets you a body in an environment suit. Psi Gate gets you the psionic gate device which gets put in the Shadow Chamber. If the game will let you start the Avatar autopsy, you should be fine as that gets you to the remaining endgame mis...

Re: Would you think valid a strategy based in one suicide shinobi?

You can go to the mission and cancel the infiltration at any time. You'll have to restart infiltration with the new 'sacrifice' but it can technically be done.

Re: Hunters/Ionic/Fusion axe bugged?

Been awhile since I tried to pull that trick. I do know the last time I did it, the soldier was concealed and didn't drop concealment. But the squad wasn't so not sure what would have happened to them. Now that I'm thinking of it more, I'm gonna have to do some more, ah, testing. For science.

Quick rundown of the weapons and shows the axe being thrown. Looks good and works great. Wish you could make them.

Re: Hunters/Ionic/Fusion axe bugged?

Yup that axe is absolutely wicked. And as a side note, if you use the Shadowkeeper's special attack and kill a target while concealed, you don't get revealed. The trick there being you have to get the kill, wounding won't do.

Re: ADVENT role clarity

I actually see Gunners suppress far more than anyone else. Mutons seem to do it occasionally but MECs hardly ever do. But then, when a MEC shows itself, it either gets ded real quick or becomes the new toy of my Specialists. So maybe that's just lack of opportunity? :D

Win10, LW 1.2, Perfect Information, True Concealment, Additional Icons I don't often get a mission to 200% the old-fashioned way. I usually just roll with what I get when the timer's up or boost if it is warranted. But I sent a team in for my first HQ and let them sneak around until they got 200%. I...

I've seen cover destroyed visibly but remain in effect where anyone who goes to where it was, gets a bonus and the shield icon shows when you move the cursor there. On the flipside, I've seen cover destroyed for all meaningful purposes but the art asset remains. So it looks like there's a cover obje...

Re: Questionable Perks

I actually find Bladestorm to be useful. Many a foolish melee alien has fallen to it and it can be a useful pod activator. Set up an ambush and run the Shinobi in to Fleche. If you pick your position well, you can get off a number of swings as the pod tries to scramble for cover under a hail of over...

Re: SPARK Builds

The fact enemies get cover at all from a SPARK is rather unusual to my mind. I figure the whole thing of soldiers getting it is partly because the SPARK is actively cooperating to hide the soldier behind it, blocking enemy aim. Enemies wouldn't have that advantage since the SPARK wouldn't be so coop...
