Gunners got a lot of power loaded into their guns because they have the least useful/flexible secondary compared to all the other classes - Sharpshooters can light enemies up for teammates, Assaults can stun/disorient enemes, Grenadiers are Grenadiers, Techs can blow shit up/set things on fire, and ...

1.1 delayed the spawning time for the Viper's Nest POI by tying it to the global Force Level. I'm not sure what this tangibly means as I'm not very familiar with how the Force Level system works, but you may not see it for a couple of months at minimum.

Should. After the patch, I did a stealth mission where I managed to assassinate a VIP without breaking stealth (tac. suppressor mod!) and whilst I could hear the patrols running around and going on watch and searching for me, they didn't run straight towards my stealth team either. Managed to make i...

Best solution I've found for this is to just not skip through scenes too quickly. Let the skyranger elevator come to a stop before proceeding so that it should terminate the looping sound properly, that kind of thing.

Very strange. Are you using any custom map/parcel/etc. packs?

Between Actual Stun Lancers, Surveillance Drones, Sectoids, Viper poison/grab, and who knows what else, I feel like even more action-fuckery against players is just going to be absurd. The AI already has numerical advantage, stripping even more actions away from the player is terrible. DerBK has hel...

Check whether there's an obstacle on the other side. You can't smash through a window and vault over a couch in the same action, for some reason.

ADVENT Trooper Autopsy, Hybrid Materials, and at least 3 Drone Wrecks.

Supply is also generated piece by piece over time, not as a lump sum at the end of the month. The bracketed value is the projected total, for your Supply-gathering personnel, at the end of the month/drop/whatever. Let's say you have 2 personnel at a Haven gathering supplies. They're projected to pul...

Enemies should no longer alter their patrol paths to intercept XCOM if XCOM has not broken concealment. This doesn't mean that they A) won't sometimes just change direction because they feel like it or B) won't still react to gunfire and explosive sounds, dead bodies, yelling civilians, etc. But th...

I've tweaked my AWC perk tree to be fully revealed, and I don't see a single case of duplication, even amongst the pistol perks. Here's a selection of seven soldiers; http://imgur.com/a/xM2fZ You can also see that one of them has Double Tap as a Tier 3 Offense perk, so I'm wondering if this bug is o...

I'm probably going to have a UFO hitting me soon (Dark Event UFO Hunt that I can't safely intercept, timer's too short) but I have a fully upgraded defense control station.

On the other hand, I'm using Even More Maps - Suffer!, so I might get a terrible map.

This ought to be Fun.

But it also means you get that 'hostiles in sight' noise whenever you switch to a soldier that can see an explosive, or if they can't see one and then move into a position where they can. I tried it out (it's a very simple .ini config switch you can do in vanilla, even) and turned it off because it ...

That penalty is why I never use Snapshot. Just feels like a bad Ranger with a holotargeter at that point. Yep, time to retire my snapshotter off to a haven methinks You can retrain at the AWC. It takes time, but it's a thing you can do. Despite the game telling you, constantly, that perk choices ca...

Who in their right mind says 'it makes three rolls' and then puts 'actually it doesn't' in tiny fine print at the bottom. :| FWIW, it is apparently possible to do three seperate rolls; -bg- pulled it off; http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=624799134 ? Doubt it plays nice with LW2'...

...except that post literally states that the game makes three rolls - the initial hit roll, a crit roll, and a dodge roll.

FWIW, I reported the issue to the modmaker and they've published a fix for it already. If anyone else was seeing this it should be fine now.

Yeah, but I'm not really seeing how is the problem. I don't have any mods that modify enemy types - the only one that seems even remotely plausible as conflicting is Extract Corpses, but even then that should just be patching the base archetype and it doesn't cause conflicts with any of the other &q...

I've had a couple of instances now of enemies showing up as just "img:" in the little tracker at the bottom, and seemingly spawning off-map. When soldiers have LoS and shoot at these anomalous beings repeatedly (often across most of the map, beyond standard sight and weapon range) it event...

I'm seeing too much overlap with the Shinobi and Officer perks, myself. I mean, I could train a Shinobi up as an Officer and get more or less the same end effect in several cases. Nevermind that if this class was an Officer and/or ran alongside an Officer, you'd have this ridiculous level of combini...

...although do watch out for a Dark Event where they specifically send Faceless to infiltrate your havens. All the more reason to run any "counters unknown Dark Event" POIs that pop up.

I was poking around at a few things and... well, I'll just leave this here-- if (Loadout == '') { LoadoutStr = "RebelSoldier"; if (class'UIUtilities_Strategy'.static.GetXComHQ().IsTechResearched('MagnetizedWeapons')) { LaserChance += (20 * (Outpost.GetRebelLevel(RebelRef) + 1)); // 20/40/6...

I believe it's a possible max-rank perk for Specialists?
