Back in the day of LW1 and I/I EW, I remember how crucial it was for me to learn how to break line of sight from the aliens. Occasionally I'll try the same thing in LW2, like hiding behind the non-edge tiles of a large van, only for some Muton to reward my cleverness by lobbing a plasma grenade at ...

Doesn't the one part of the UI that everyone ignores, the objectives, actually changes when it's a Snare?

thanks for the input guys... just to be clear though... there is no way to see their rank : Squaddie > Lance Corporal > Corporal > Sergeant > Staff Sergeant > Tech Sergeant > Gunnery Sergeant > Master Sergeant once it is covered up by their officer rank not complaining, btw, because i am SO appreci...

what is higher, corporal or 1st Lieutenant ?? For this game, those are two entirely separate ranks. You have a "base rank" based on the number of abilities you learned, those use sergeant naming schemes. You have an "officer rank", which is an additional on top of your base rank...

This is absolutely barbaric in the game... A fix would be very nice. A pair of Drones or a Sectopod can destroy so much ADVENT property during patrol duty... I think this is the most unrealistic element of the current Long War 2 tactical environment. Problem is that this was a problem in vanilla as...

But here's the thing. I would also like to be able to tweek the damage the powers do by modding the various tiers of Psiamp. I know how to easily find the ini's to do this vanilla in the weapon data folder, but I just can't seem to find them in lw2's ini's. I can only find the ones for the player a...

That would hardly do anything. The real value of 0% raids is the body count, not the supplies gained. They are merely a nice bonus. One would imagine that would also include no bodies. (Not infiltrated enough, no time to extract bodies) Only advantage to that approach would be having an actually fu...

0% raids I actually like the idea of the first corpses selling for higher prices as it would help the early game but the issue as was discussed by others is much larger than just selling corpses. I still don't know exactly how they addressed the issue in 1.3 but being able to run them completely sn...

There is a mod called... True Ambush, I believe? It lets you set up exactly which actions and where you're going to use.
Sadly it conflicts a little bit with LW2's adjusted tactical HUD so you need to disable the HUD for it to work (there's an option in the in-game config menu for that)

Only one per haven.

That mod is certainly interesting but LW2 should work correctly without the requirement to add other mods which is why i think ultimately the developers will have to address the lack of corpses issue. Since LW2 is a work in progress thought, that mod can definitely help for now. The high randomness...

Okay, so I have a save file now my ranger, buckeye, Lucas Hoffman in the save game, i haven't used the auto loader yet, so first do that, then shoot at the advent soldier with a 56% chance to hit... when you miss, the shot only goes up to 66% even though he has Locked On and HyperReactive Pupils th...

Edit: Also auto updating is a feature in my opinion, I'd rather the game do it for me than having to hound the damn nexus for it. Opt-in auto update is a good feature. No Opt-out auto update is trojan-like behavior and should be illegal. There is no excuse to let a company install or remove stuff f...

See above : you can just create the Mods folder and it will work correctly. I have this folder on my steam version of XCom2 and everything inside is working as intended. It might also work if you put the mods in the workshop folder but whoever thought it was a good idea to have that folder named &q...

Today I fired my rocket ~15 tiles to center mass of not activated 4 man squad and it missed all targeted things completely . I was not moving before shot, my Technical have around 70 AIM and FitH perk. It was T2 gauntlet, if it matters. This is insanely unreliable ability as it is now. You... 100% ...

* the quirk being that, sometimes, some tiles away from the centre are each more likely to be hit than the one aimed for. I don't think this is really that strange, ultimately. If you take, say, a 30% shot with a soldier's gun, you're going to miss more than twice as often as you hit, so why not wi...

So, using joinrbs calculator I see that the HTML text can't be MAX. In fact, the code refers to the overlay as "AverageScatterText", which matches fowlJ's comments. IMO, the +/- in the overlay should be removed and it should be labeled as " AVG: 2.36 Tiles ", per the example abo...

75 AIM from the start for Technical, seriously? You can have low aim Grenadier from the very start of the game, having perfect accuracy and 3 charges. Maybe some day I will have more good AIM soldiers than I need for Rangers, Sharpshooters, Gunners and Shinobies and spare Superior Perception PCS, s...

If I'm throwing a dart at a dartboard and aiming for the bullseye then, in the absence of biased throwing, the bullseye is the most likely spot for my dart to land of all the individual spots it could land (even if I'm lousy at darts). This isn't to say that it is more likely I get no scatter than ...

It is probably rather easy for devs to make DFA interact better with SMGs, but then I think that'd give them far too much that they can do while on stealth. Basically they would be much better stealth soldiers than shinobi, because they bring far more utility to go along with their recon. Myself if...

As squadsight works with any equipped weapon, I would wonder about range falloff tables for non-sniper weapons not having values out to squadsight ranges. Pistols don't work at squadsight already, so there must be config switch for this ability. Squadsight is primary weapon only. There is a hack re...

* I can't level up my holobot Sharpshooter's, since I can't take them as "passengers" to stealth hacking missions. This issue is part of why I am going to add the ability to equip rifles (and therefore SMGs) to Sharpshooters in my copy of 1.3, if the devs don't make it baseline. That way ...
