Wait, the free flashbangs/smokes perks aren't free? That's dumb. I could've just brought another flashbang in the soldier's slots instead of spending days in the tank.

So after my blunder with the Nanomedikit project, I was just wondering what projects are people prioritizing? There are so many choices and ammo types, which ones are you guys finding most useful or useless?

I have a question about how the faceless intel works. If I swap soldiers or just take him off for gear checks etc. does that reset the faceless intel bucket? Also, if I'm leaking supplies, does that mean the faceless has to be in one of the regions where I have ppl on supplies? Or can faceless steal...

We already have pods so closely packed together that they can patrol into you while you're already under fire. That was the bad luck mechanic in LW1, and it did it's job well. Now we have that, plus free, full squad flanks on top of it. The total of the two is just too much of a coin flip at presen...

You got killed by the Avatar project.

The Avatar project is running all the time, but in order to see the doom bar, you have to liberate a region.

I have observed certain equip/unequip behaviour. If the soldier is in training, his stuff unequips and is available for others. If no one has taken the items when the soldier finishes, he re-equips them. If a soldier is injured. His stuff DOES NOT automatically unequip. He still has his modified gun...

Sometimes it feels like Advent is growing in too many dimensions at once as the game progresses. Advent strength grows globally and locally, increasing the number of enemies on missions, having stronger/faster reinforcements and generating more retaliation missions. Stronger enemies and new version ...

I was referring more to the mid-game. I have had good success with 5 man squads in the early game where you can one or two shot most enemies. When you can't, you need to either go really small or really big. Have you gotten the GTS Tactics perks that reduce the infiltration times for 6-7 soldiers a...

I'm starting to find that sending 4-6 man squads to missions to be unfeasible. You either send 2-3 men to sneak to the objective, or you're doing 8-10 men huge firefights. 4-6 men squads are too big to stealth successfully but not enough firepower to kill things quickly. I'm just starting my curren...

Too bad Hunter Protocol is on the same level as Bombard. I really like my infinite range grenade that's actually good at environmental destruction.

Particularly the bonus HP, bonus defence and Rapid Reinforcement ones I see complained about a lot. Wait, rapid reinforcement is temporary right? RIGHT? RR is temporary, but 1 month is a very long time in LW2. More than a dozen missions could be affected. I don't want to cross-post and here's an af...

I'm starting to feel the DE+reinforcement pinch as well in the middle of Sept. I'm playing on Vet but I began this campaign on Rookie so that might've affected event timings but currently I have 2 +hp DE, a +1 armor DE and some others active, but it's those 3 DEs that make things harder to kill that...

But stims? No..that needed a finite quantity.

Drugs are bad...mmmmkay. Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Reading this thread and then the other thread saying stealth makes "destroy relay" missions too easy, I'm feeling that certain LW2 missions have become very binary in terms of difficulty. Either you're able to stealth all the way to the objective and able to complete it and evac without mu...

For me, DFA Sharps get CM and Snapshots get LP.

Having the game tell you which DE a counter-DE mission is stopping would also really be helpful. The one that came up for me last night told me which de it was for. Maybe you didn't identify yours? I know I sometimes get messages asking me to waste intel identifying des. That might be it. I'll have...

If the kill VIP mission is a Lib3, you still activate Lib4, so it's not totally nothing. But that +1 to contact region limit is super useful though.

I think the really long training time is killing this class. With the way LW2 is going, 10+ days is an eternity. I put in a dude for Stasis training, just 18 days, about 4-5 days ago in real time and she's still in the tank. I'm starting to even forget I have a Psi Op. A squaddie who was recruited a...

So...I just had my PG do the project that gives me Nanomedikits coz I had a brain fart and thought having all my medikits heal more hp would be pretty useful (as in Vanilla). But of course I get a single kit in the inventory with the option to build more for 20 supplies each and I'm just bashing my ...

I find I'm taking a lot of support grenadiers on my "sneak and complete objective" missions where I am forced to take a small squad. There is almost always a pod or two guarding the objectives and trying to fight them with 4 dudes takes way too long, especially with possible reinforcements...

My suggestion wouldn't make this impossible, I don't suggest that picking up should take 2 AP. However, you would only have gotten one move instead of dash after picking up the VIP, which I find quite reasonable. Three moves, a knockout and a pickup in the same turn sounds a bit OP to me, even when...

This makes it even more difficult to kidnap VIPs though since knocking them out also takes an action. In my last Lib3 mission, I was able to move, punch, have my leader Command my puncher who then picks up VIP and run out of a sticky situation. Impossible to do if pick up isn't free. My suggestion ...
