Don't they have a naturally higher crit chance? That serves the same function in that it can upgrade a miss to a graze or a graze to a full hit.

Might be redundant.

Remember that your haven troops are all rookies with assault rifles. So pick an advisor who helps in battle vs faceless and advent. Or SMGs, or shotguns. But yes. I'm liking grenadiers as advisors, myself. They can wreck cover and deploy flashbangs and such, on top of officer abilities, to help eve...

Rangers - Best rifles, then load up on plating/vest. Mindshield for Officers. Predator armour or bust. Assaults - Rifles or Shotguns if their aim is good, SMGs if their mobility is bad. Otherwise, my Assaults are all stungun builds because they're the closest thing you can get to having a Carl Gusta...

Sounds like people need to check their soldier hack stats. According to a couple of posts I've seen, you need a Hacking stat of at least 1 to hack things. NCE can result in 0 (or negative) hacking, preventing your soldiers from doing that kinda thing. Fortunately this has been identified and fixed i...

My infiltration teams usually include 2 Shinobis, 1 Specialist (for medical support and objective hacking), and 1 Technical. His rocket launcher/flamer comes handy when the only solution is to clear a pod hanging around near the objective or extraction zone ;) Don't techs increase infiltration time...

Sounds like the Render 'tech' should probably be gated behind the Autopsy completion to avoid situations like these. I'd also appreciate it being moved to the PG or queueable somehow-- rendering corpses only seems to take about 12 hrs and it can be tedious to go rendering down troopers-- can't sell ...

Question- just saved the game and said fuck it, to see what happens/what I am looking for. What type of mission triggers the 1st step the Libertaion process? I have 13 people + avenger scanning in this one zone for 2 months and coming up with nada, atleast from what I can tell. Keep at it. Eventual...

I am playing on Rookie, yes-- this is my 'training wheels' campaign so I can get a feel for all the horrifying things you've done before I crack open a character pool full of actual people to sacrifice in the name of RNG. Worst case scenario I have to start over when 1.1 drops, but by that point I t...

Hats off to whoever came up with those codenames. That's some dark humour right there.

I'm almost vaguely disappointed that there's no irreverent commentary from the crew about some of them, like the Craft Loot! projects.

Disable everything but LW2, purge your configs, and try a new campaign maybe? As trihero says, the prices seem appropriately scaled (most of the time) so it doesn't seem excessively gamebreaking. Tygan is sitting around whining at me because I keep asking him to make Viper Gumbo and Trooper Casserol...

The Gunner's Combat Knife is uh... better than I anticipated, looking at the stats. 2-4 damage base with +20% hit/crit? That's better chances of hitting and critting than a regular sword (although, you know, lower damage and no fleche). That said it still feels like a pretty awkward and undesirable ...

It does kinda make sense-- and, I mean, why are you moving up that close if you're not going to just punch them?

If it actually applied a defense bonus vs Strike though, that would be... bad.

This would be pretty neat, but I'd tack on a supply cost and a minimum 'rank' for the promoted volunteer, like they have to have at least two perks and cost 20-30 supplies (e.g. 10 + 5-10 per extra perk) to offset the fact you're not babysitting them through AWC training.

Holotargeter works through squadsight as far as I'm aware, so you don't need to close in to use it effectively.

Here - Blackmarket Usage.

Mix of 1-2-3. Greed is easy to go with and essential. 4 days to learn how to throw support grenades as a free action, how to run a little faster, etc. etc. is too good to pass up on anyone. Pistol path is for the officers. I prefer my snipers to be as mobile as possible- if they're in a tough spot, ...

Good to know, I guess. As it stands I have a surplus of engineers, so it was never really necessary.

It's not even a special magic button or anything. Just go to Buy in the Black Market, and there may or may not be a handful of "Rush <Tech>" options at the bottom of the list. I think the default is 3. Intel costs are pretty steep (~100 on Rookie ) and it only knocks off 50% completion ins...

How does the XP distribution break down? I'm just wondering if sending two would result in each getting more XP apiece than sending three or more, even if some is wasted. Would you please post the XP distribution scheme? This really is something that could make me alter my squad allocations. ...it ...

The Shinobi are sort of glass cannons. Their offensive capability comes primarily from their sword and the situation often does not allow you to use it effectively without endangering the shinobi. If they get pinned down, there is little what they can do by themselves. This is especially true if yo...

Are there any plans to allow us to define our own evac sites for Jailbreak and similar Rescue mission types? For one, I'm tired of seeing them half way across the map, and for two I've now twice had them spawn clipped into the edge of the map, resulting in them changing position a few seconds later ...

The Options menu has three special LW2-specific entries that are only loaded during a game due to some Weird Engine Stuff or something. If you start a campaign/load a save, you can disable them and they shouldn't apply to your next game.

Somewhat similar-but-slightly differently. By default, CBAC colourcodes the button border to the action requirement and-or turn-ending-ness, and center icon to the type; for most classes, a standard shot is the same yellowish colour as a dashmove - but for a ranger, light'em'up is the blueish tone o...

It requires Advanced Coilguns of all things, judging by the ini files.

- Set all drawbridges to down on all rooftops maps. Added custom versions of the two small vanilla rooftop maps with this in place. I've always thought the raised/lowered drawbridges being impossible to interact with in the Tower maps was such a wasted opportunity. Being able to interact with the e...
