The idea with Overwatch is that you need to pair the OW specialist with another soldier that compliments him/her. Here are a couple of combinations: Two Rangers - one for critical hits with Rapid Fire that can fire up to 3 times per turn and one with Overwatch. You can fire up to 4 times per turn in...

Taking control of a unit within LOS of other units will break concealment, as the unit counts now as yours. During engagement this has the positive side effect that the AI throws everything at said unit and forgets about your soldiers. I have successfully hacked lone Drone units to remove them from ...

When I attack the relay I am usually a tile or two away. I like to get close and personal. :) It also helps that relay is in an easy to defend position with a lot of cover. It won't matter in my case, but you might want to be careful when trying to snipe the relay from the building on the other side...

Shotguns also do a fair bit of damage. One shotgun shot and two from a Ranger should take it down in one turn.

If you have Rapid fire on any of the two, it is guaranteed actually.

The issue most of the time is taking care of the guards close to the array.

My current Sniper: Finds an elevated vantage point. Then you have: Elevation bonus +10 Aim, +10 Defence; Damn Good Ground +10 Aim, + 10 Defence; Advanced Scope + 10 Aim; Depth Perception PCS +5 Aim and negates 25 dodge on enemies below the Sniper. Tracer rounds + 5 Aim. Right off the bat I get +40 A...

There is already a Proximity mine in-game: ProximityMine_BaseDamage = (Damage=6, Spread = 2, PlusOne = 50, Crit = 0, Pierce = 0, Shred=1, Tag = "", DamageType="Explosion") ProximityMine_Range = 14 ProximityMine_Radius = 3 Taken from XCOMGameData_WeaponData.ini Compared to vanilla...

The others explained above what those two mission types stand for. You need to be looking for "Find a clue" or "Liberation" missions. The latter do have shorter timers, so you should use your Intel on them. The mission I described above was exactly Rescue Defector - it started as...

From what I have seen so far from the Sawed-off shotgun is that it should used right next to the adversary and preferably against a big one. It does ridiculous damage and there is a perk that gives you two more shots with it. What I do is throw a Flashbang against a group of adversaries and rush in ...

Well, the Enemy presence indicator gives you the raw numbers and you can influence with Infiltration and boosting it with Intel. Make sure to read what the mission is about and if you see Liberation, please try to access whether with a possible boost you can actually get over 100% before the time ru...

Not finding a lead is definitely a sign that you are either doing way too few missions or just staying away from anything that is above "Light". As a point of reference, my current campaign: Current date: 2nd of May; Difficulty: Regular Commander; Number of regions: 2; Strength of Advent: ...

Code99 - Go to the Avenger screen, press 5 (Commander's Quarters) and select resistance management. From there click on any other region than your starting one and once the Haven management window opens you should to the top right a new button called "Build Radio tower". Zyx, I agree that ...

I would check whether the streamer/youtuber is using any other mods, especialy Stealth-related ones. Afterwards please try to make some noise without actually ovelaping he red area - throw the flashbang outside of it or use Demolition to bring down some cover. Don't get your hopes up, this is not a ...

Hey Harlequin ! To be perfectly honest, just after "Press any key to continue" I did always see a strange almost pitch dark screen with some dots slowly moving. It was for about a few seconds on-screen and then the proper landing cutscene loaded and starts playing. I have had this issue si...

Mutated Muton: Here is the relative thread about that alignment issue. You can simply edit the name of the perk and it should format correctly to the right. Johnny would like to keep it as is, probably to remind Firaxis that there are still some hilarious bugs in the game that make the life of modde...

Yep, the AI won't use it special abilities/ammo unless they have a pretty valuable target. An armoured SPARK and a soldier in close proximity sounds like a juicy target to me.

The idea behind Assault is to get close and personal with the aliens, but always have someone watching your back. I have my Shotgun-totting Assault teamed with a Melee Shinobi and they can easily take down two targets per turn. You can always have someone with Overwatch/ Area Suppression covering th...

I am not sure to be honest, it needs some testing !

Good thing I have two Gunners with Flush and one of them has abysmal Aim (65).

You should keep in mind that the AI now is a lot more vicious in terms of actually properly determining what is best to use against your squad on a given turn. If you do not have soldiers bunched up (usually at least 3 in close proximity) you won't see AOE attacks, including from Vipers and the like...

Well, you need to have a downside to the ability, if it was an automatic hit it would be overpowered.

That said, you can also use it on targets even out in the open to make them run into acid/fire/proximity mines.

Those pods go into cells when patrolling. I guess it is not intended behaviour and has already been reported as a possible glitch.

It happens rarely, so you should be fine when sneaking up on them, especially with the True Concealment mod.

Sadly I also experiencing this bug. I can confirm that the game only freezes on that screen but you can still open up the menu and quit or load a previous save. If you try to save though it hangs up and you have to manually kill the process. Seems like an optimisation issue, when the game completely...

Flush makes the target flee from its current spot, thus activating Overwatch and possibly Suppression (haven't tested it yet). If you have two gunners on your team, one focusing on area suppression and the other on the more mobile, SAW gunner side of the tree, you can make a pretty good combo. Lay a...

Actually this will make Jailbreak missions especially easy. If you have a Shinobi specialized in Concealment, he can just sneak in past the patrols and open the doors. My very first mission was like that. Then you can open fire, defending your extraction point, having 12 full turns to massacre every...

On Drones: The File you are looking for is XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini (LW_Overhaul/Config) Check lines 2834 and 2917, for example : LWDroneM2 +CharacterBaseStats[eStat_ArmorMitigation]=2 I tend to use one frag grenade to shred the armour and do some damage, you can then finish it off in 1-2 sho...

Oi Core !

I guess vantagem/vantagens would work, as perks are used in that sense - something beneficial that gives you advantage over your adversaries.

That said, Portuguese is not supported neither in the original XCOM 2, nor in the Long War 2 mod it seems.

Que pena...
