What I think the flashbang should do is: - Provide a will save, and not make it absolute. So, if you try hard enough you become immune to sensory overwhelming explosions? You don't get blinded by the light, nor deafened by the noise because... will power! Honestly given how many enemies are on ever...

Yeah, I could just change local files instead, but I was hoping to make a mod to revamp Technicals (mod scatter, which I got working, change up concussion rocket for something useful, and some minor flame thrower tweaks, plus damage boosts with technology), so I was hoping to be able to get it to wo...

I'm interested in removing concussion rockets and replacing them with Shredder Rockets, however after applying these changes I still see Concussion Rocket for my technicals Sergeant rank. Code I've got so far: XComClassData.ini [LWS_Sharpshooter X2SoldierClassTemplate] +AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInv...

I keep hearing people talk about this new DLC for XCOM2? Has there been any actual word on this from a legit source? Because the only thing I've actually heard about it is that someone spotted a new steamapp id on the DLC section, which often is a simple mistake made on steam's end as much as anyth...

I'd guess lucky, Lightning Reflexes doesn't guarantee misses on OW fire afterall. It seems weird to disable passive talents (I can't think of any that ever are besides Lone Wolf), so I wouldn't guess at that being the answer.

Oh I always thought that "intel package" rewards were just bunch of intel to be used for example to contact new areas. So what are these packages? What can you -find inside- them ? An Intel Package is a Point of Interest (Fire Axis, Furies, Transport with Alien Hunter Weapons, etc). Those...

Call it a "Advanced Conditioning and Training" tube. Select the soldier and pick: Aim, Will, Move, Hack, Health, Dodge. After a training period that single attribute is improved (Aim, Dodge, Hack, Will by 3-7 and Move, HP by 1). The training time is predicated on the soldier's existing sk...

And not just fire, but be the best overwatch frontliner in the game. They can't... Rangers are better than them. Higher aim progression, Rapid Reactions gives 3 shots over Sentinel's 2, and Grazing Fire makes them more reliable. Marginally higher aim progression. Rapid Reactions comes a level later...

When it comes to Technicals there are a few issues with them. Primarily their entire class is built around using and improving limited use abilities. In the case of Flamer Technicals you have 2 shots at base, 4 with EXO, plus 1 Roust, 2 with EXO. In the case of Rocketeers, though, you've got 1 rocke...

Actually that could just be new assets for the expansion that Firaxis let Pavonis use early. Seems more likely than Firaxis paying for new VOs for a mod.

I also love how Coil Guns sound. They are just awesome overall.

Incendiary Grenade is 100% as far as I can tell, which by the time you get them means that they're far more reliable than Flamethrowers. An incendiary grenade fired by a decent grenadier does nearly 10 damage upfront, with another 5ish added from burn and a turn worth of disable. That's just ridicu...

I disagree with your assessment of Rangers and Assaults. Gunners get Traverse Fire about the same time Rangers get Rapid Reactions, so in the early game Rangers put out more fire power with the ability to shoot twice, and once Gunners get Traverse Fire Rangers get Rapid Reactions which allows for 4 ...

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

There are a lot of references to 'Alert Level' in the mission definitions, and reinforcement timers. Is 'Alert Level' just the technical name for Advent Strength modified by Infiltration Level?

The idea of putting a weaker Shredder on the Gauntlet is interesting (the flamethrower is basically a weaker Flame Cannon), as it would add more variety to technicals, and more long range damage options. I don't know if that is the best way to revamp the class, though. Removing Scatter when not movi...

I am thinking about making a mod to reduce some aspects of the difficulty of LW2, namely making reinforcements less frequent and smaller, and then maybe some max pod size adjustments. If I wanted to mod the frequency of reinforcements and how many enemies can appear via reinforcement waves where wou...

I think the fact that when buying recruits you can see every potential stat except for psi power doesn't help. You can either buy a bunch of rookies and hope one turns out a good psi stat, or use a soldier with a low psi stat. Its also hard to level them, until they are high level their abilities al...

I think people are forgetting the point of the OP's post: "Veteran difficulty Extremely Light / Normal readiness" There's a distinct culture around LW that it needs to be hard as balls, we get that, but people need to also remember that there are difficulty settings for a reason. Even if ...

Just some feedback on Dark Events I've experienced: Tactical Sense - Seems a bit stronger than others, makes some enemies really hard to hit, but can be dealt with. Still one of the more annoying ones. Grazing Fire - One of the harsher ones. Grazes against your squad while you've disoriented the gun...

Literally every corpse has a use. You need a trooper corpse for each Alloy Plating (or which ever it is that gives 3 ablative armor), sectoids are used for a few things, vipers for imp med kits, mutons for the plasma grenade Proving Grounds Project at the least, etc. Most projects and a lot of resea...

To add my 2 cents: I think the idea of a special facility raid which counters a dark event is awesome, but I can understand that it would be very difficult to implement from a technical standpoint. Instead of having a facility tied to each (or a subset of each) it might be easier to just add a facil...

I kinda wish you could replace some secondaries with Pistols, so you could take them without impairing mobility. I honestly don't run into situations where I wish I even had a pistol; you have some pretty important skills to use with your chain gun than a pistol. I guess if you want to be picky you...

There are two kinds of Technicals. Those with low-standard mobility, and those destined to purge Xenos with fire. If your Technical has 14 or less mobility don't even both with Flamethrower perks, just make them explode things with rockets. If your Technical has 15+ mobility then give them an SMG an...
