I'm fairly sure Long Watch is more situational and Deadshot would be better. However, still thinking about Conceal instead of Aggression, Hunter's Instinct instead of Kubikiiri, and both Double Tap and Alpha Mike Foxtrot instead of Serial. Long Watch is awesome if you manage to get overwatch perks ...

Nope, need to autopsy a sectoid, and then have one in your base inventory. I just got the psionic research available popup after completing a disabled ufo mission and bringing home some corpses.

Rangers are okay early on but they lose ground later when they still only get their pair of shots (3 with rapid fire) and other classes get so much more, it would involve AWC investment but I think that would be worth it on the Ranger that is in position to use the pistol AND has the aim to use it....

I haven't gotten there yet, but it does say primary weapon, so probably just like Lethal, but with double the bonus.

This may be related to another movement bug I've noticed. If you use waypoints to avoid detection and it becomes a yellow move, though the target location would be blue if you moved the shortest distance, it will still count as blue, even though you detoured and it showed yellow. So you can probably...

Sure there is. Replace the mag pistol with a coil pistol, or a plasma pistol. :P On a Shinobi with center mass and hunter's instincts. Center Mass and similar traits are primary only, but good try. ;) I speak from experience when I say those two work with pistols. It's pretty neat when one of my as...

That is all.

Would this affect the soldiers that are on-going infiltration?

Probaby, haven't tried it.

Does that also reset all learned AWC perks though? Just b/c I'm in late June, really don't want to lose everything >.< I've read that it does, haven't used it myself. You could ini edit to turn on instant AWC training to put you back at your current level though. Debug settings at the top of the XC...

Joinrbs, had the same comments after his L/I campaign, rangers just don't have the damage, it took getting run and gun from the AWC for a ranger to really start being worth noting. My favorite perk to get for the Ranger from AWC is implacable. Shoot, move, shoot. But run and gun -> both barrels is ...

Is there any way to re-roll existing soldiers to the new perk system through console commands? A lot of the new options look really interesting, but I'd already recruited something like 28 of my current force of 33 before 1.1 hit >.< Only in bulk, there's a console command to reroll the AWC perks o...

Huh,they can get Fleche? Mind you, I recruited almost all my soldiers before the AWC patch went through- does it unlock a drastic number of new abilities? That said- I was suggesting this as a base ability, not just one that the occasional Gunner COULD roll. You'd have to remove the damage bonus fr...

Yes, look at Combat Fitness.

The relevant definitions are in XComLW_SoldierSkills.ini

Well I know the character Jaime 'Double J' Padilla is cursed and also Kam "The Skam" Ayeni. Load a pcs in him and play a mission or two. It will disappear. I'm really not sure what causes it. I'm trying UzielTD recommendation, in a new playthrough, saving/exiting to menu then loading game...

Yeah, squaddie upgrade sets AWC perks, this is permanent and there's no console command to fix it except one which rerolls the AWC tree for ALL of your soldiers. If it's a character pool soldier you really want but got bad AWC allocations on, you can dismiss them and they will return to the recruit ...

Regarding the combat knife, I read somewhere that some testers has great success with the combat knife. Something about the knife having a higher aim bonus than the sword, and it made a reliable way to finish off a nearby enemy within blue-move range. Aside from that, if you use the AWC fix then yo...

I know what he's like; it said in the patch 1.1 notes that he got "buffs" on higher difficulties, I wonder what those are. You forgot to mention has 100 aim, and takes two actions per turn (fire + overwatch), but he's not immune to fire so that's why I take an incendiary grenade with his ...

Technicials would really need skill "Run and Gun" from the moment when they become technicial class. Because flamethrower has low range and most of the time when fight starts enemy isnt in close range or in range of possible use of flamethrower. I agree, but it's also a fairly trivial edi...

Slash has always ended the turn AFAIK(exception: if you have the Implacable perk and make a kill). You need to train the quickdraw pistol perk in the AWC for the pistol to not end the turn.

I moved the sawed-off over to the gunner and gave the targetting scanner to rangers. I've done a bit of class tweaking myself, but haven't touched weapons yet. I want to give Psi Operatives swords though... I've got a bunch of Witcher characters in my character pool, so the idea came naturally. :) ...

Ever seen Chryssallids with lightning reflexes, that activate and attack on the same turn? Combatives seems like the ultimate counter to that. I haven't gotten to Chryssalids yet in LW2 though, maybe they no longer have lightning reflexes, but I wouldn't be so sure. Btw, if you hotfix the AWC perk a...

GavinRuneblade wrote:So if ranger can't get perk X then no one can?

Exactly.

This is absolutely correct. I've basically rebuilt my AWC ini file with new exclusions and some bug fixes (class restriction is bugged, ability gets taken out of the pool entirely, ability restrictions work fine). Anyway, while doing that, I messed around with adding in more ranks. All you need to ...

The pistol perks are special, they randomize completely and the level of the perk only matters for training time.

Which reminds me, you probably have to define the training time if you add more levels of perks.
