"Fixing" the Long Watch Perk

Post by pingpong »

Consensus from most LW 2 players is that there is not much love for the Long Watch perk. As I have already posted in the reddit forums, I believe that the Long Watch Perk would be a lot more useful if players were given the option to pick either/or Over Watch (ie non-squad sight) or Long Watch. For myself, the biggest failing of Long Watch is the risk of unintentionally activating another pod. This is especially critical in LW 2 where engaging more than a single pod is a recipe for disaster. Lore-wise it also seems unreasonable that a trained soldier couldn't distinguish between the two. Combined with some of the available AWC Perks for Sharpshooters, there is a ton of interesting options and strategies that become available with this change.

I hope that PI or a modder can make these changes to add even more interesting variety for the Sharpshooter class.
