You know exactly what perk you will get when you train a perk up. The perk does not change, it's exactly what it says on the tin You have no idea what the next perk will be until you train a perk up. That's the part that is output RNG, unless you make your AWC perks visible and remove that output R...

50 for everything.

The reason your soldiers shout like that when you call the skyranger is just because that's their vanilla voice lines for doing so, where it's what you do to run away from a mission instead of what you do to complete it.

I'm curious what determines avatar progress? Is there some randomness to it? How many Alien Research Facilities did you do? In my own campaign the avatar timer was just a complete non factor. I did 3 alien research facilities in like July/August, so does it mean that you just need to focus on doing...

intel miniretals from my last campaign as well (all quite easy imo): https://youtu.be/ApNCYanqLa4?list=PLesIE_v8rF206yB7ipLqRhmM9gSb_l-PX - moderate early july https://youtu.be/xMMNviA5_MA?list=PLesIE_v8rF206yB7ipLqRhmM9gSb_l-PX - light-moderate late july https://youtu.be/96GLRzqAt7A?list=PLesIE_v8...

4) Make objective hacks take 2 actions and end your turn. Make officer abilities break stealth. Remove Hack Workstation mission from the game, it's the same as Recover Data except that you can't suicide cheese Recover Data. Make Dark VIP misisons fail on assassinate, you have to actually knock him ...

A note about Gunners - while other enemies can use Suppression, I don't believe there are any others that can use Area Suppression , which is what Gunners do. Their AI could perhaps prioritise it a little bit more (though care needs to be taken to ensure they aren't doing it in situations where it m...

I absolutely agree with showing the whole AWC tree: I prioritise what's fun, and it's much more fun to know about what is (or could be) upcoming. I love to see when Faceoff is in the top 2 pistol perks once I've got mag pistols; my technical with Faceoff and some nice ammo once killed 13 enemies an...

All jobs in a liberated region are 20% more effective. Liberated regions receive no normal missions - you don't need to worry about Intel in them unless you think ADVENT is gearing up for an invasion. I believe you still recruit faceless in liberated regions. When you liberate a region it destroys u...

If this is the bug I think it is, it's caused by giving a soldier a PCS in the mission loadout screen instead of giving it to them in the barracks, so you can do that instead to avoid it. Additionally, I don't believe you're actually losing the PCS - it's being merged into the soldier without actual...

Yes you do, they just don't contribute to the 'mission' xp that all soldiers get.

I'm inclined to believe that you aren't actually going to make psi operative changes happen any faster by posting that over and over.

If enemy Will didn't scale up over the course of the campaign, I think you'd see Soulfire giving similar numbers to HoB during midgame and endgame as well. Well, you wouldn't see that, actually, because Soulfire (and the other damaging psi abilities) deals fixed damage based on Psi-Amp tier. Psi Of...

Kills are 1xp, missions depend on how many enemies there are and how many soldiers you send. More specifically, each soldier on a mission gets experience equal to [the number of enemies on a mission] / [the number of soldiers you sent (minimum 3)] × [a per class multiplier, 5.7 for most classes]. So...

This doesn't sound like what I know the LW2 'snare' mission to be, but it does sound like an Additional Mission Types mission ('Neutralize VIP on PR Tour') - do you have that mod installed?

It doesn't need to be a failed mission, and it doesn't even need to be rookies - this is the same bug that causes soldiers purchased at the black market to level up super fast, according to tracktwo.

I haven't really played vanilla XCOM 2, so I'm not entirely sure what you mean about "per shot" versus "per hit." I had assumed that the displayed crit percentage was predicated on the assumption that you actually hit the target (just like in XCOM 1 and in all other tactical gam...

On paper, I like the graze band as a concept, but I don't like missing "100%" shots (which has happened due to graze band + dodge joining forces to demote a shot twice). If you see this again, take note of it and submit it as a bug report, because this should be impossible. Dodge is alrea...

So, here's a thought. Instead of adjusting the missions that are imbalancing the game due to dropping so many corpses... What if corpses themselves had diminishing returns? What if the amount you could sell corpses for kept dropping with each one, until they were all but worthless after an extent? ...

I dont mind getting shot at, but it is irritating that they get a scamper move and then shoot. So a pod wanders in, a snake scampers forward six tiles into flank, and then it shoots me. It wouldnt have been able to pull off that move in a normal turn because it doesn't have the move speed. Its just...

Units with special names are a little confusing, yeah. The Guardian is actually a tier 2 (or 3? But I think 2) Sentry I believe, the Scout being a different unit that is introduced a little while into the campaign.

I'm not sure exactly how it works, but based on how I've seen it described I don't believe environmental damage 'sticks' to objects, no. There is some randomization on environment damage (I believe +/- 20%?), so you can sometimes destroy an object with multiple grenades, but it's a matter of luck ra...

Good to know. So Specialists and Shinobi have a better mutiplier I take it, while Rangers and Gunners are expected to work for their levels? That would explain some of my roster given my love of stealth. :) They do, though only slightly (5.9 for Specialists, dunno about Shinobi but I think maybe 5....

My understanding was that the game takes the total XP value of units on the map and divides 40% of that amongst any survivors of the mission, plus another 40% if the mission objectives were successfully completed. I'm not clear on the last bit, but I believe kills award 20% of the normal XP, so a f...
