Re: [suggestion] heavy rifle

while a heavyrifle with a built in underslung would be a great addition/change for the grenadiers, i think a heavy rifle without a underslung for the rest of the troops would be a great addition. it would surely be a good option on assaults.

Re: I'm overwhelmed!

ok reached the stage of vipers, this is bs, needs heavy rebalance, vipers are simply too difficult to hit, the dodge stats needs to be lowered a ton, no point in having a guy with 80/90 aim if they get high cover and have 25 dodge It's fine.

Re: Thankyou.

Longwar 2 surpassed all my expectations and it really has the very feel that it is a guerilla war. its far more fast paced then vanilla which truly marks Xcoms aggressive war from the shadows and ashes. this is the first time ive been able to play xcom2 for more then 20...
