Re: How early is too early to liberate?

Scope, armor , AP rounds. They are heavy hitters. Choice of weapons is depending on difficulty. If laser can kill Sectoid then you are in good spot with him. When you level him up and get Rapid fire you will using him a lot. Traverse Fire is best pick for high aim Gunner

Defense PCS + Combatives perk + Formidable + Shred (optional) if you plan to respec him. It will not be great suppressor but he can use shooty perks like Rapid fire and Traverse fire, Chain Shot, Cyclic Fire. He should be able to kill MEC in May with ballistics. Pure Suppressors are missing a lot. C...

Re: I thought Force (Alert) Levels were capped at 20?

99.
No changes after 20.
+FollowerLevelSpawnWeights=(MinForceLevel=19, MaxForceLevel=19, SpawnWeight=0)
+FollowerLevelSpawnWeights=(MinForceLevel=20, MaxForceLevel=99, SpawnWeight=0)

20 and 99 is same force level. Same enemies will spawn

Re: So im not getting retaliation missions anymore

Check your mods. Reinstall LW2 Clear ini. Start new game without mods than report bugs. If you play with "easier time" LW2 mods you will get less retaliations. If you installed any LW2 mod before LW2 this can happen - LW2 files are not overwritten and therefore they stop to exist. Raids ne...

Re: First Campaign in the Books...

Simple way to find Strength on move is to check your Region Strength and check numbers of Advent Legions on map (number must be higher than 16). Than count missions you do. If you have more missions than strength do extra scan. Small havens will have trouble to detect anything so Avenger is needed. ...

Re: First Campaign in the Books...

Picking combo perks and double suppression is not something that You will use on first play. Commander difficulty is very close to Legendary. Detection is the same but some of enemies have less HP. Laser is good on Commander and just OK on Legendary. This is just minor problem. Penalty on boosting, ...

Re: First Campaign in the Books...

Liberating region with one connection is not always best choice. If it is far away Global Threat must be Severe and you must focus on Skulljack and Skuljacking the Codex. This will remove one or three pips (not sure). Global Threat - Severe and higher will reduce Avatar progress for Late Liberation....

Re: First Campaign in the Books...

Hmm. Strategic choices are few. Scan, get intel , expand rapidly, find regions with one or two connections. Liberate region with one connection and force black site to region with two connections (or less). Don't put Tower in every region (at start) to move Strength. You can skip bad Liberation 2 in...

Technical if they stay in group for bad aim rocket. No easy solution here if you don't have high level Sniper for killing Shieldbearer.

Re: LW 1.5 Grenadier builds

Debuff is not important. Suppressed Advent can't use abilities and this is real control. Suppressing 3x MEC on Legendary will prevent micro missile and you will probably kill escort. Agree on Grenadier "too late perks" but they can still "open" the pod. Both Rapid deployment and ...

They do not fall behind. Snapshoter is heavy hitter. If they flank and use Serial they outperform DfA. Phantom Perk is still here for that next turn hidden flank.

Re: Implacable Rangers

OW build for early game is lacking aim increase buffs. This can lead to very difficult missions because you can't clear pod with them. Snapshoot Sharpshooter is better. Specialist has better starting perks. So this is mid game squad build. It is support class in most cases. Dark event Conditioning +...

My current try is failing because...
