Just to clarify - never use Master enemy FO option on the Sectopod! It dramatically reduces the hack chance and don't give any profit on the first FO options as that beast cannot be transfered to Haven. The easiest way is to use first option of FO and get it till the end of the battle which in this...

Yes Bluescreen Bombs and each Red Ammo reduces Hack by 25. For Assault Arc Pulser it's probably only 20. I suspect there's a problem sometimes with Bluescreen Bombs, to avoid it it should be used first otherwise it seems there's problem of Hack stacking. It's more than enough to be able to have a Ha...

That's why I submitted the bug to Mac dev first, but I suppose they didn't sign for fixing bugs related to any mod even semi official, if so I can't reproach them not have answer. There's no chance I pinpoint the real cause except if Im' going to dev myself LW2, which is a non option. What I can pin...

Do you mean perks not available in AWC yet? Ok that's not the example you give. For existing perks, I see only one case and not even amazing, just a good option better than for the original class, Shadowstrike for Sharpshooter.

I don't have the very positive or optimistic point of view of Spah7 but he brings good points. 1 - Electroshock builds An Assault build simple to use is the Electroshock build, once you'll get Chain Lightning you'll get an amazing tactical tool. Before that it's a tool for hacking enemies, a good ta...

Thanks, weird I didn't notice, but it's shown only during squad selection panel not once you selected the squad nor before selecting the squad.

There's the problem of the random not suiting well this approach. But I don't care about stuff like that so I'm not well positioned to comment it.

There's in fact many perks that are amazing no matter the class, for example: Quick Study, Combat Fitness, Sprinter, Shredding, Light 'Em Up, Ever Vigilant, Low Profile, Run and Gun, Rapid Fire, Serial, Traverse Fire, Sentinel, Rapid Reaction, Guardian, Hail of Bullets, Lethal, Iron Curtain, Smoke, ...

The expiration time is how long before the mission will expire. This number is shown on the world map and also in the top right on the squad select screen. The base infiltration time only appears on the squad select screen and represent how much time your currently selected squad will need to reach...

In XCOM 2 I never allowed a gatekeeper to take a single action across several playthrus. In LW2 it seems if you encounter one without all your god-tier troops, you are completely screwed. Stupid AI or not. Na, they are entirely handlable, you just need a high amount of shred for them. By the time y...

I don't see much the problem, CyberBall is obviously stupid, don't use covers, rush on enemies blindly, so it's coherent it hurts allies to revive a lot of corpse. For what's worth given the sheer amount of armor and defense it has coupled with the innate damage reduction (it has 30% damage reducti...

Ok LW2 approach is more coherent but it remains that I don't want learn myself what target it can destroy or not and the point is to my eyes no way it's 100% but random. Wait do you mean it destroy anything as soon it's a cover for the soldier using the skill? I would swear this isn't true and ther...

Infiltration has a base duration cost, it isn't show in first screen describing the mission which shows only the infiltration remaining time. But at next screen when you select the squad, there's an additional infiltration cost than duration from the squad, the Infiltration Base Duration. From what ...

Demolition skill is a pointless boredom, I'm bored use it for nothing (as far I remember LW2 changes nothing it's same in XCOM2), the game should says clearly what will be destroyed and if there's a chance then the chance level should be shown, like it is it's non sense blind design. LW2's Demoliti...

So to comment more about using SMG, but with Assault. It's definitely interesting with a mobile Electroshock build (no Shotgun skill, some Electroshock skills and Chain Lightning, Rapid Fire, and Extra Conditioning for extra mobility). I used 1 Assault in 4 missions, and it's definitely coherent. We...

Does Combat Engineer add a flat environmental damage to the entire radius, or is it scaled down? A good question, what I know is in my current play, my single grenadier with both cover destruction perks definitely does more coherent and systematic damages to covers, but it's no way comparable to a ...

The problem comes from waves not number of enemies, pods in XCOM2 aren't that much attracted by sounds, in LW2 it's systematic, and there's very often waves patterns. So often you don't have the time to move forward when there's two successive waves, if you had the time, the corpse would be where yo...

Thanks for the details, well Supply Raid is a very bad name, it's clearly Intercept Troops, Supply is just the greedy point of view, but rather wrong because there's multiple missions types providing supply. Are those the only mission decreasing the global number of troops? I know some invisible UFO...

Lol that's the default values? At Easy they look more like the min values.

For me the random isn't applied independently to the stats, that is a soldier can't have them all very good. But I suppose it won't change a stat analysis looking at them independently.

Just get a protect convoy retal where pods was thrown per 2: 2, none, 2, none, 2.

WOTC is bringing a ton of new features, so it's a bit different but I agree that it will probably be an option you activate or not. Still that doesn't mean that this will be two applications, so core game will get a big patch at WOTC release and Steam won't let you the choice but the last version. ...

There's so many Proving Ground projects that I doubt any rush campaign could make any mod project with profit. If you can gain some control on Avatar project and slow down the campaign then they are definitely pretty good options, my first priority would be elite extended magazine.

In my last HQ assault the Gernadier save the day with his gas gernade. Was engaging a pod when 1 more pod yellow move in and another follow behind that scouted by my shinobi. That is no way my squard can handle 3 pods at once without thining them down. So the brave gernadier stay in front and throw...

Damages isn't only for cover but also shredding, Hp reduction and ensure some damages. Moreover with the two skills for cover destruction is it still true? I feel too random the cover destruction so I don't base my tactics on that, could be an error I do, but I still find damages grenadiers quite u...

Hey guys, Can someone explain to me how I can produce supply missions with a decent time frame to infiltrate? What do you mean by "supply missions"? Are you talking about Supply Train raids where you try to intercept moving ADVENT troops? Those are supposed to be hard to detect so it's no...
