Some rather obvious picks for me too. Anyway here are a couple of builds (currently no-one on MSGT) i'm playing with. Generalist Several of them as i have one specialist in every squad. They go with the 3 men infiltration squads or 5 men skirmish squads doing most missions. Combat Protocol. Just soo...

Something doesn't look right about the Rendez-vous missions. The data here seems to indicate a squaddie gives 5 points. The UFOpedia table tells the minimum amount of intel is 2! This would mean a squaddie is enough to easily detect those missions given a 21 days (min) duration and should intercept ...

For your information
File XComLW_AWCPack.ini In case you don't like the AWC lottery to get the useful later perks.

Well that is part of the randomness of the AWC (biggest booms on a sharpshooter anyone?). Usually of the tier 1 skills aren't good, I focus on other soldiers. You should always have another guy to stick in there. But there is a big difference between taking a useless perk (yes, i mean biggest booms...

So the conditions are coded like this: if (Attacker.CanFlank() && TargetUnit.CanTakeCover() && VisInfo.TargetCover == CT_None && DamagingAttack) which should mean that it works on cover-taking units in the open Did you change the code or is it the vanilla XCom2 code? Because...

I think serial refunds enough AP to fire another shot. in the case of an assault, it's 1.

Or if you just want the quick answer, pods have three states in LW2 : Green/Unactivated, Yellow/Alerted and Red/Activated. Yellow is new and allows the pods to take some actions. They can get a limited number of shots at you (when they finally activate), try to use cover (sometimes) and are searchin...

Training time for AWC abilities are in the file XComLW_AWCPack.ini. Look for TrainingDaysForAWCLevel and PistolTrainingMultiplier. Those are the values you want to edit to change how long it takes to train the various level abilities. If you reduce the time required to train higher level abilities, ...

Crit stacking could also benefit to the +4 damage perk, turning it to a +6. Does double tap trigger Death from Above or is it only normal shots? Special shots don't trigger the other abilities that allow you to act after firing (LeU, Gunner perk, Close Encounters). If it blocks Death from Above it w...

It is frustrating that this does not show in the UI at the squad select stage. This is because the item is added when the tactical map is loaded. It also means it's free as far as infiltration time is concerned, but not for mobility. Does Full Kit also reduce mobility? I've only looked at the squad...

Now, that's annoying. I never noticed this, but then i didn't really checked the mobility in combat compared to the mobility out of combat. Thought i'm not sure it's actually one, you might want to report this as a bug because if it's supposed to work this way, then we should at least be able to une...

In other words, unless you put quite a significant number of rebels on intel, given the duration of the invasion precursor mission, you probably won't find it in time, even though it is easier to detect per intel than lib 1 hacking mission. (lib 1 missions have a base duration of 9 days vs the supp...

What makes me think something was fishy was that additional supply reward (first time I've seen this) Don't know about this one in particular but missions that counter tactical (permanent) dark events give supplies reward in addition to intel and countering the DE so not every mission with a supply...

I'm glad you posted this as I was planning on posting this question soon also. I actually asked this some time ago. Try to use the search function, it will help Arcalane and others who spends a lot of time answering our questions :) I also had my second power I picked taking 33 days so now I know w...

There is another mod, EU Aim Rolls, that has a more accurate version of the hit chance function that shows it the same way the original Perfect Information did, despite the mod name you can in fact turn on just the PI data. Thanks JulianSkies. I used to play with the original GrimyShotbar mod but i...

You don't need to scout with the spark to benefit from Hunter Protocol. When you are overwatch-camping in ambush missions and an 8 man pod shows up, you'll often empty your weapon between the normal overwatch shot and the bonus 33% on enemy activations. Think of it this way, how often have you been ...

Does repair work on the spark itself or do you need 2 sparks? I think description is something like "repair an allied robotic unit" so i never used it in vanilla. Also does the repair reduce the repair time inside the avenger or is it like "fleshy" soldiers who still need to heal...

The big fights are now handled by other missions like Advent HQ assault.

No, a supply convoy in a liberated region is your opportunity to prevent the invasion mission, which is rather challenging. I can confirm this :cry: I just had a supply convoy in my first liberated region and unfortunately no squads to answer. I thought they were preparing something but didn't thin...

This.
Otherwise, yes i tend to prefer the shredder gun over the rocket (more damage and no scatter) so techs only get an exo if every solider in the squad has an exo.

Perfect information is definitely not perfect.
I use it mostly for the shot-bar showing hit-crit-dodge, thought i don't think it's accurate for LW2 either as i have grazed enemies with 100% hit and no dodge shown.

And as others i've missed shots with trench gun.

You don't have to fight many enemies at a time. go many ambush missions instead of a big ambush. Unfortunately, going on many ambushes means you don't have time to infiltrate those (unless you have a good dozen squads) so that's many big ambushes or a few small ones for me. I try to survive the big...

From observation of enemy movements with a concealed shinobi, i think they move towards the explosion site, which seems logical, rather than the launch site. I have no real proof though, it just looked like this on a few occasions so take it for what it's worth until we have a more definitive answer.

But his question was how to build the second chamber, not why are training times so high.

It's hidden with the Elerium research, or so i've been told, i still have only one myself.

And why can't we reproduce these chemicals / enzymes anyway? The only thing we can't replicate is alien metals / energy sources because they utilize elements that are physically alien to our planet / dimension. A carbon based lifeform however, is not. But that's a different discussion. Time require...
