Luck dependant I guess. This is from a Light SnG in a strenght 5 region in June 8th. Legendary. 5 chests. I don't remember exactly all the loot I grabbed but I did get it all. https://s1.postimg.org/lmjnjr3gf/sngloot.jpg Previous to this mission I got mostly Supplies and Alloys from SnG, not sure if...

For once I'm not the one being affected.



Reloading fixes it and I correctly get 19% to hit against the officer as he is (correctly) in full cover.

Just a heads up.

The free flashbangs and smokes from the AWC skills are also free mobility-wise.

Nope.

What you say does seem right on paper, but from my experience it hasn't felt that way. Now don't take my word for it since I've been fielding combat squads (4-5) on my (legendary) campaigns ever since they announced they were making stealth harder, so maybe that's why I haven't felt a difference, an...

The amount of reflex actions on Legendary is quickly getting on my nerves. I'm not under-infiltrating yet every green alert pods seems to always roll at least one overwatch and yellow alert pods seem to get actions on half of their members. I swear to god half of all the wounds I've taken is from ye...

Nope, Ufopaedia is incorrect, Blacksite is revealed after Network Tower is brought down. Avatar clock revealed after HQ is brought down.

Don't really have a reproducible save for this but this is what happens: Red Fog: All (quadratic) Mods: PerfectInformation, Flankpreview. Gunner hits ADVENT MEC on enemy turn with overwatch, leaves it with 2 hp. Said MEC goes into overwatch at a moderate distance (9 or so tiles). Gunner tries to spr...

What I probably like the most is that ADVENT strenght seems more manageable during the early game. I'm playing on Legendary, it's April and I've been spamming missions on two regions almost non-stop, yet my home region (which has Lib3 queued) is Strenght 2 and my 2nd region is at Strenght 1. I did s...

I got a 17 mobility 57ish aim Sawed-off ranger running around executing people left and right. We'll see how the build holds after I'm done with the early game, but so far it's very useful on Ex Light missions where he can handle both the Drones and the high health aliens like Mutons and Captains.

"How do you use Concussion Rocket?"

You don't. See, all Technicals are actually Fire Mages is disguise. The other skills are merely cantrips from other schools that you aren't suppossed to learn.

You should totally post this in the Bug subforum, hopefully with the last autosave from /My Games/XCOM2/XComGame/SaveData (gotta use a hosting site tho).

They'll tell you which console commands to use to salvage your campaign and provide some insight on what's happening.

Hmmm.... Not sure about this, but it seems as though you can no longer go negative on monthly income? If you remember, in 1.2, it was advantageous to spend all your money before the end of the month if your income was in the red, since your actual supply count could not go negative. So far I haven'...

I got two Sharpshooters, one with 16 mobility and the other with 17. High aim... Above 70 at rookies. Decided to take Snap Shot. So far, they haven't been that great. If you stick with the team you'll probably find them getting 50% shots most of the time. If you take a detour and go wide you'll find...

Completely agree that this build is hella-fun and very effective on Guerrilla Op missions or even light troop columns. Really you should be doing this with any Ranger that has terrible aim and decent mobility. Give them an SMG and keep it up to date, and they will generally perform very well. Speak...

If you scout ahead you can know beforehand where the pods will be coming from and you can overwatch with adequate cover. Otherwise you can just activate on your turn foregoing the overwatch trap but nullifying the reactions shots.

New Sapper is pretty strong. You blow up almost anything at center square except whole trees and other very strong materials. Damage Grenadiers and Fireman Technicals in particular seem to carry my early and mid-game on their backs while I get the very much needed levels on the other classes. Hell, ...

I think you missed one of the most important requirements for this Ranger: It needs to have high mobility.

IIRC the Blacksite reveals when you complete the Network Tower mission. Completing HQ Assault only reveals the Avatar completion bar.

I just wonder how slow the game got with all the bodies and particles.

If your theme is being a flanker, 1.2 Shinobis can also work well since Hunter's Instincs is a flat +2 damage and when flanking you usually get Lone Wolf 10aim bonus. And by going middle tree you get many defensive skills: Low Profile makes any cover good cover, Lone Wolf is +10def, Evasive makes yo...

Sure, Liberation is a way to increase Vigilance and slow down the Avatar progress. But so is taking down facilities and doing the Golden Path missions. My biggest deal with Liberating more than 1-2 regions is that on Legendary you're looking at getting over 100 legions around the end of the 1st year...

I modded my config files to add some of the 1.3 changes. Out of the top of my head:

- Reduced flashbang radius.
- Reduced smoke grenade and dense smoke bonuses.
- Reduced disoriented and poisoned aim malus.
- Roust to 50% damage.
- Sapper enviroment damage +1.

I have had missions where you need to evac a group of rebels not spawning the rebels and not letting me evac my soldiers. Don't do Ironman.

You know, I started a campaign yesterday (with some of the balance changes edited in to get used to them) and just at Gatecrasher one my best prospects got one-shotted thru high cover. And he didn't even have a large defense malus. I place the blame entirely on these kind of posts.
