One detail of the system that may not be immediately apparent is that reflex actions can only happen when aliens activate on *their* turn. If you activate them on *your* turn they don't get reflex actions. Just an FYI.

Did any animation play? Did they teleport in from a portal, or was it just no animation at all?

it works like a regular overwatch, where if they have an adjacent tile they can move to that's out of los to the gunner, they can move there freely without getting shot at. I believe this is the case, though if you have a save with an example of a shot failing to fire when that's NOT what's happeni...

You don't have to use them if you don't want to. I like the narrative fluff, so I'll document the squad's exploits and such in the History field, but they don't really have an ingame effect. More of a QoL feature. Officers do give bonii to soldiers who go on multiple missions with them. Having each ...

Trench Gun makes a Standard Shot (using your aim, subtracting cover etc) at every highlighted enemy in the cone. You can definitely miss with it, Perfect Information is confused.


Street Sweeper on the other hand cannot miss and has a larger AoE, which is why it's a MGST perk.

Hey, sorry - I was referring specifically to the poster above me who'd had all sorts of Avenger timers going haywire. If your mod list is that lean a mod conflict is less likely. If you see this again and can reproduce it, would you mind dropping a save up here? To my knowledge weapon mod building d...

Here's a thing: http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/Image ... torial.jpg

Archives will have the rest.

SMG basically serves this function (without breaking soldier animations and abilities xD ).

If you leave the soldier there for a while, you'll get to the bottom of it.

Higher ranked soldiers will be more effective. In the meantime, you might try shifting rebels a bit more towards Intel and Recruit, at least until you have resolved the issue. Good luck Commander!

This is almost definitely related to the other bugs you were experiencing from an unknown mod (or set of mods) messing with your Avenger times for stuff.

Yeah. I should mention that I'm also very much still learning how to stealth mission. Just failed another one tonight where I accidentally revealed my Specialist and then he got critted through smoke and the Shinobi barely got out alive. Stealth missions are hard. O_o

The POI to unlock the Rulers mission should be able to spawn similarly to other POIs (upon completing a mission with "Intel Package" as a reward). Do you remember if you've had any of those missions since the weapons POI?

So a few quick hints: * Rebels who were not previously Faceless won't just turn into Faceless spontaneously. Infiltrators have to be new recruits. * Faceless can only steal supplies from Havens they're in. This lets you create "safer" regions that are to gather supplies from after you've c...

Readiness is a textified way of saying "your infiltration has modified the Base Activity for this mission in this way". The "Current Activity" tells you what the results are at any given time of that modification.

In general when you complete the objective of a mission, concealment will be broken. It can be handy to have an evac already set up nearby to help these soldiers survive - check out Xwynns' new LW2 series, episode 2, for a really good example of a well done stealth mission.

Mind blown. I should definitely start taking wider berths as well.

Interrogators!

No intentional mechanic regarding "hearing" was implemented that I know of in the way that you're talking about (though weapons and explosives do have sound ranges that'll alert nearby pods if they hear them fired). If you have a save that can reliably demonstrate this behavior, I bet they...

It's not that True Concealment is built in, it's that with the changes we made to pod patrol AI (they no longer automatically know where you are and rubberband to you while in concealment if you get between them and the objective) the optimal strategy IF True Concealment is enabled becomes to move f...

Havens only produce supplies if you set rebels in them to the Supply job - then it's (nominally) one supply per day per rebel. I typically wait until I've Liberated a region to really start putting tons of rebels on Supply though. Until then I try to subsist on BM and Supply Raids/Troop Ambush missi...

Faceless are getting changed a bit in patch 1.1 - % reduction instead of additive reduction. This means that it'll be more feasible to put a few rebels on Supply and still get some supplies. I find that I'm typically not making much money from Havens though until I Liberate one of them (which grants...

Evac timers are the big reason to go over 100% infil - 150% and 190% reduce them by 1 each (200% for the second one after 1.1 patch). You also get smaller detection radii and less enemies, though the enemy count doesn't decrease as fast as it does before 100%. 200% is the max. No benefits beyond tha...

SPARKs in the 1.1 patch should also be getting 5 ablative armor at the start of every mission (I think it's in 1.1, if you're not seeing that then it's in 1.1), so they'll be considerably tankier requiring >5 damage taken each mission to even be wounded. There might also be other minor tweaks, we've...

Variety is the spice of Lif..... Resistance.

Ohh ok. So just to confirm, everyone that's seeing this issue is only seeing it in the Character Pool?
