Re: Class Selection on Level-ip

If you want to use Commanders Choice, I believe the standalone mod is supposed to be updated soon. That said, there is a reason it isn't included in LW2. With the caveat that I'm not JL and don't speak for him, I'll try to explain why I personally think it's a good design choice. The perk trees are ...

Re: If you're finding the timers in missions too short...

Yes, that's intended. 15-3=12, which was base mobility in vanilla. I just wanted to comment since I've seen people talk about 11 or even 8 base mobility soldiers, which would make the game much harder than it's supposed to be and is definitely a bug (try regenning inis).

Re: Lock up after mission completion/Black grenade icons

Also might try unplugging any controllers and making sure the input device in options is selected as mouse/keyboard. LW2 does not have controller support.

Re: Lock up after mission completion/Black grenade icons

Instant Menus has been known IIRC to cause problems in the past with LW2 - have you tried without that one?

Of that list the only other one I can see ofc the bat maybe causing issues would be spark t pose fix. That functionality might actually be included in LW2, I'm not 100% sure.

Re: long war timers

Another thing that could be affecting people's experiences is a possible mobility bug. All soldiers in LW2 should have 12-18 base mobility (might even be 13-18) if NCE is turned on, or 15 if it is turned off. If you're seeing soldiers with 11 base mobility or below, you're experiencing a bug of some...

Re: Skipping missions

Only thing you lose for aborting is the time it takes to fly there and get them, and the opportunity cost of having had those soldiers on infiltration for no reward. Don't be afraid to pull out of a mission if you get a much better opportunity though. That said, do note that in certain... extreme em...

If you're finding the timers in missions too short...

If your soldiers don't have roughly 15 base mobility (+/-2 or 3, I don't remember which), you're experiencing a bug with NCE, Red Fog, or a mod conflict. Noticed someone on reddit said their average mobility was around 11, which is certainly not correct. That would (obviously) make LW2's timers a lo...

Grapple has a higher cooldown and the Spider is more expensive than the other two armor, but the actual ability works the same - free action. It's really, really good in all sorts of situations. :)

Re: Frost grenade

It's a support grenade so the one that gives you an extra use of the support grenade in your grenade slot (Protector) will do that. There's also one that does the same for other equipped grenades but it's really far down the tree.

Re: unable to hack doors on rescue missions

Hacking had some changes in LW2 that might've conflicted with that mod, just depending on how it was implemented. In particular, the doors should all open at once when you hack one of them (this makes the multiperson rescues much less tedious).

Quick tip for getting better mission timers

It's not a bad idea to set all of the rebels in your starting region to intel and then scan there with the Avenger if you're having a hard time finding missions with enough time left to infiltrate them. Supply and Recruit jobs may seem important, but you can often get supplies and/or recruits from m...

I believe this is a known bug we're currently investigating - just to clarify though, do you mean you "stunned" them or "disoriented" them? Flashbangs only disorient unless you have a specific Grenadier perk.

They get really good aim and can do devastating damage to enemies whose cover has been removed with a Rocket or Sapper Grenade. Serial (when they get it) is still fantastic for mopup. Or... you can build them with the holotarget path (which is what I do when I get one with low aim from NCE). A high ...

Re: Skipping missions

Depends on the mission - if you get one to counter a DE and you skip it, that obviously facilitates alien progression.
