Re: Covering Fire as a lvl 1 Offensive AWC perk

Normal overwatch should be a option when you learn Covering fire. that was problem from LW1. That becomes problematic with Ever Vigilant. Which one gets auto enabled? Also it would just be confusing to have 2 different overwatches that each have their own benefit. Much better if the upgrade was a c...

Re: Covering Fire as a lvl 1 Offensive AWC perk

Any overwatch based soldier should have a PCS chip that requires a 50% chance or better before they fire. Building an overwatch soldier without one of those chips is just asking for sadness. Fair, but what if it isn't an overwatch build? Like a Pistol wielding Sharpshooter that took Covering Fire o...

Covering Fire as a lvl 1 Offensive AWC perk

Covering Fire: Overwatch shots can now be triggered by any enemy action, not just movement. I personally hate this perk, and while I understand that it has some uses, it is the only perk that can make your soldier worse in certain circumstances. If my soldier didn't have a good shot and I overwatche...

Re: Shadowfall pistol and Centermass perk

3. When looking at the facilities on the avenger the occupied / unoccupied icon slots are showing up wrong sometimes. Not sure if this is a vanilla bug but sometimes the graphic outline icon of the person is showing empty when it's really full or showing full when it's actually empty. There is a mo...

Staff Slot Indicator (Vanilla Bug)

There is a bug in vanilla that is made more apparent with LW2. There is a mod that fixes this bug that has been out for soom time, but it really should be wrapped up into this Overhaul.

Re: Who gets to yell the orders in your squad? And misc Officer questions

I've come to realize recently that you don't really want specialists to be officers, because then sometimes they outrank your shinobi and then your shinobi can't command from stealth Please elaborate on the game mechanics of this for those of us who have yet to try multiple officers in a squad. Wha...

Re: Havens and Lasers

Now this is not my language, but it seems to be randomizing a number up to 100 and then doing a less than check. Which means even with a 100 chance, you could still fail if the number randomized was a 100 due to it not being a less than or equal to check.

AFAIK, none of the AWC pistol perks affect the sawed off shotgun. If I am incorrect in this thinking, then I would very much like to be enlightened.

Re: Who gets to yell the orders in your squad? And misc Officer questions

Having 2 fully trained officers in each squad sounds like a ton of time training via only 2 training slots. What if instead you only did the first officer level for your second-in-command. I'm thinking have the specialist/medic be the primary officer and a sharpshooter/holo/gunslinger be the seconda...

Re: No Recruits

I had a jailbreak with a rookie and 2 rebels. When I broke them out the rookie never came under my control and was considered lost when I was forced to evac.

I am now assuming this bug was WIP feature.

Re: display locked perks bug?

Also there is an ini setting for showing all the officer perks in the XComLW_OfficerPack.ini
I turned this one on before I started so I'm not sure if it is overridden by the ingame option for class perks
