So, 1 Sapper Launch nade + 7 Thrown nade to bring down 2 tiles-worth of jail wall.

ADD : Rocket was used to break enemy forces
More explosives typically does the trick in life.

We have 10 brackets, running at 10% increments. There is some overlap and RNG, but it's not extreme. Oh that is awesome news, I can de-activate that mod now.

Re: Long War 2 Resources (including mod compatibilities)

If a soldier only has 4 health and takes a 3 HP injury, they're gonna have a lot longer time that someone with 12 health that loses 3 HP. It's a percentage thing, but there's a lot more brackets in lw2 than there is in vanilla. Oh there are more brackets? And nah they were both specialists with sam...

Re: Long War 2 Resources (including mod compatibilities)

Judging by the comments and values defined in XComLW_Overhaul.ini , a soldier has a 90% chance to go into bleedout if they're reduced to exactly 0hp. For every (effective) negative hitpoint they're reduced to, the chance drops by 20%; -1 = 70%, -2 = 50%, and so on. If a soldier is massively overkil...

I've really been trying to like the SMG, seeing as the conventional SMG you guys made is without a doubt one of the COOLEST looking guns I've ever seen in a game, seriously it looks awesome... But the mobility doesn't make up for the fact its; 1. Less Damage 2. Less Magazine Space 3. Less Accuracy o...

Re: [Request] Scientist utility

We need more alien interrogations too. Putting an alien (who could know the Avenger's codes) into the Avenger could be risky. Don't misunderstand me, I love interrogation but the reason of why not allow aliens in the Avenger is very logical. That's why I propose the "study enemy equipment"...

Re: Leader Pack - Ranks

We investigated this while making the mod. It would take some re-writing of game code, which is a lot easier than it used to be. For the leader pack, it was beyond our scope (which was to make pure addons), but with class-swapping it isn't prohibitively difficult. Hrmmm... Would it be do-able to si...

It wasn't my first death but I did lose a corporal to one, they in the early game seemed to drop with 2 vipers each time and vipers are just the most vicious damn thing in this game outside of sectopods or gatekeepers...

Re: [Request] Punishing Reenforcements

They can drop with shield bearer/lancer, heavy mec, and an officer, typically they are elite as well, or advanced. This means that a reinforcement drop is actually surprisingly effective, so long as you do not properly react to it! It's not really an issue that we can wipe them out on landing, as si...

Re: LWS announces partnership with Firaxis and 2K Games for release-day XCOM 2 mods

There isn't an alien "pool" that works mechanically like the character pool does, but you can make your own aliens and have them fight in campaigns -- when our mod is distributed, it will show what's necessary to make that happen. So... Theoretically... We could edit the "Snek" ...
