In my latest campaign, it took nearly 2 full months before I found my first Stock for my snipers. It was something like my 40th loot drop.

Nice work Chrisb. I see it is resolved for 1.3. (So i must have only ever taken squadies as my higher rank troops as I never noticed them gain more than a level.) The game restricts you to only one promotion per mission. Even if it thinks you have MSGT levels of experience, it won't promote you str...

I kind of wonder if it has a similar problem as Trojan, where it doesn't create the effect that produces a new MEC in the local haven if you hack it from Squadsight.

Not sure if the fix in 1.3 for Full Override helps with all the problems people are getting.

I have seen Incoming! operate as expected (reducing damage by 4 to a minimum of 0) while watching Twitch streamers, so it doesn't seem to be faulty for everyone. Damage Reduction works differently to Armor and is not affected by Armor Penetration. Basically, you find the damage of the weapon, then r...

Archer/Longbow MECs are included in the list of valid override targets for transfer to outpost after a mission. [LW_Overhaul.X2Effect_TransferMecToOutpost] +VALID_FULLOVERRIDE_TYPES_TO_TRANSFER_TO_OUTPOST="AdvMec_M1" +VALID_FULLOVERRIDE_TYPES_TO_TRANSFER_TO_OUTPOST="AdvMec_M2" +V...

For Rebel jobs, switching their job stops them from providing points towards the job for a day (see GetRebelLevelsOnJob() in XComGameState_LWOutpost.uc for the source code). For Haven Advisors, no such checks exist (see LWRebelJobIncomeModifier_SoldierLiaison.uc and X2LWActivityDetectionCalc_Rendezv...

I don't know the exact nature of the bug that existed, but basically this used to restrict based on Sharpshooter and using a Perk that is exclusive to each class is more reliable for some reason. Restriction by class is broken and instead restricts ALL classes from getting it. So restricting by per...

Cool, which file did you find that in? LWTemplateMods.uc in Src\LW_Overhaul\Classes of the LW2 folder. If you are not familiar with .uc modding: You cannot just change this code if you want to change these prerequisites, this is not like ini-editing ;). Yeah, I guessed that since it was source file...

Here is what i found: if (Template.DataName == 'Fuse') { Template.PrerequisiteAbilities.AddItem ('Fortress'); Template.PrerequisiteAbilities.AddItem ('MindMerge'); } if (Template.DataName == 'StasisShield') { Template.PrerequisiteAbilities.AddItem ('Fortress'); } if (Template.DataName == 'Dominatio...

Does anyone know what the current prerequisite abilities are for various Psi-Ops abilities in 1.2? I've been trying to research it, but having no luck figuring out where the new requirements are defined in the mod. I assume the following prereqs are the same: Soul Fire -> Soul Steal Insanity -> Schi...

This is a thing that happened in a stream I was watching today. Intended gameplay or bug? https://clips.twitch.tv/ModernIgnorantTildeDxAbomb In case it's not entirely clear, the cell had an entire pod of enemies locked in it along with the prisoners. 1) The version of Long War you are playing: He's ...

On Commander and Legendary, with Rapid Response active, you can expect to see RNF after 3 turns, but you might get unlucky and see it after 2 turns. The next one is 3 turns later, but you might get unlucky and see it after 2. After that it jumps up to every 2 rounds with the occasional 1 round gap....

Yep, Rapid Response means reinforcements starting at I believe 3 turns after reveal and then roughly every 2 (sometimes 3) turns after that. It's active on my campaign now too. Reinforcements consists of multiple factors: A rising alert modifier as turns go past. Starts at 0.20, but rises to 0.675 ...

What are the effects of advisor rank and class on the strategic level, if any? Would there be any advantage to using an officer beyond the officer tactical abilities? Officers in havens are better at detecting Faceless missions than normal soldiers. There are diminishing returns that make the first...

It would also be nice to see the Name of the Haven Advisor. If I'm looking for Joe Blogs the MSGT Technical, I don't want to pull John Doe the MSGT Technical from his haven by mistake.

In any case, it's a mistake to ignore feedback from any difficulty level since they all need to be as difficult as they are supposed to be. I just wish more people would give the difficulty level their experiences are coming from as it gets confusing sometimes. I think all XCOM games radically chan...

Erm, I mean, I usually do pick fire in the hole myself, just showing why it's not an autopick. I don't need to be convinced that fire in the hole is good. ... Yes, I know how salvo works, I used it in vanilla to do things like blow up cover then shoot. I get it. It wasn't bad (although after I expe...

Technical LCpl: Fire in the Hole Tempting as Roust is by providing another flamethrower shot, especially one with such long range, having the one or two rockets be more accurate edges it out, even for flamethrower builds. As long as you fire the rocket with your first action and don't have a terrib...

I thought I would give another update, and let everyone know that I lost my campaign due to a 0% supply raid when my entire squad got wiped. Also, I noticed that Mobtank said nagul's feedback on this matter isn't valid due to him playing on veteran. I would have to agree with Mobtank's assessment b...

Here is an example I want to somebody confirm me if I am right: - Region Recently contacted, 4 rebels (A, B, C, D), no recruited. - Faceles mission triger just after putting advisor, no rebels recruited. - Mission squad: Advisor + Rebel A + Rebel B - Faceless: Rebel C Does it mean that Rebel D is 1...

It's just defense to psionics/panic. While it may influence bleed out chance, in LW2 bleed out is changed to look at how much "overkill" damage you take. This makes the "PCS: will" even weaker in comparisson with aim, defense or dodge. Any idea to not sell them all as soon as ma...

Kill Zone is situationally useful. Rapid Reaction can give 3 overwatch shots, but only if the first 2 actually hit. If there are enemies with Lightning Reflexes, you would be better off using Kill Zone since you'll take 1 shot at every target in the AOE (until you run out of bullets). Not only could...

The science repeatable is OK depending on timing. Sometimes you'll just have nothing better to do and it does get your science done faster overall. The engineering one is pretty useless since it literally just lowers the Engineers requirement on Proving Ground projects by 1 and if you don't have 5 ...

Frag Grenades, Plasma Grenades and Proximity Mines do 9 environmental damage. Sapper adds 3 to that. Combat Engineer adds 8 to that. Which means the max environmental damage on these grenades is 20. Shaped Charge does 100 environmental damage. Other types of grenade do 0 environmental damage and are...
