Re: 1.3 Changelog got updated.

It seems to me that things got better balanced against each other but overall the game got harder. Esp. in terms of dealing with and surviving large pulls: - A lot of the "control a lot of aliens at once" skills got nerfed - FB, incendiaries a bit as well (from AGL nerf, not that AGL got u...

Re: Your strategy for missions with strong alien activity.

Question to OP: Do you understand infiltration mechanics and usually infiltrate to 100% or more?

If you do, the vast majority of the time you won't be activating multiple pods on the first turn. That is when you do 0% supply raids, etc.

Re: If you could "rig" the AWC...

I landed rupture and chain shot on my shooty holotarget sniper. Neither are usable at squadsight range and so far it looks like serial won't give me back the action I use for them (also true on my shooty shinobi who landed chain shot and took serial). A little disappointing but once you know, you c...

Re: Serial Nerfs

I don't see the benefits of killing trash with the sniper when i have plenty of other classes good at doing just that. Technicals, Grenadiers, Rangers or even Gunners with supression/saturation fire. Since assaults are so extremely situational in this game because advancing into fog of war means mo...

Re: If you could "rig" the AWC...

I haven't actually tried it but R&G on a sniper might allow him to take two separate shots in combination with DFA. (So you can shoot, kill, DFA kicks in, activate R&G, then shoot again.) Pretty handy if true, like a mini-serial earlier in the game.

Re: Am I the only one that thinks AWC perks should be visible?

I revealed the AWC perks and also set AWC retraining time to 0, because I find it more fun. Nothing is stopping you in a one-player game!

Re: If you could "rig" the AWC...

Does anyone know if aggression/BEO work on grenades? I have a grenadier with both AWC skills.

Re: Shredder Gun vs Shredder Cannon vs Plasma Blaster

The hitting unactivated pod thing seems very overpowered. It's like having your saturation fire stealth opening repeatedly.

Re: What to do about Overwatch?

I am curious what is generally thought of as the best way to activate new pods in an untimed mission, once first stealth opener is blown. I generally form a line with the shooty people in the best cover I can find, then send out a shinobi scout to find the new pods, and draw the pod with the DFA sn...
