It requires an unobstructed path from the specialist, but it can be used at squadsight range (just like Haywire and Combat protocol)

Yeah, there are two types of supply raids: The first one is the one we see most often, that moves strength from one region to another. The second is less common, that builds a facility in the region. The facility one lasts a lot longer, but the activity tends to initiate in regions that you haven't ...

The Reaper thing seems like it's a bug, but honestly the interaction described in the OP doesn't seem that broken to me.

After all, an Assault with rapid fire can RnG, Rapid Fire, Command, Rapid Fire for FOUR shots without any questionable interactions.

Update! The Viper King did show up for me for the first time on October 14th... on an Avenger Defense mission

Actually, it seems like this is a bug that will be fixed in 1.5. From the patch notes for 1.5:

"- Removed Advanced Lasers tech requirement for resistance troopers to get mag weapons (when other tech gates are met)"

Interesting. I had a dominated Andromedon on a supply raid and I did some wonky stuff to make sure to kill it before killing the last remaining enemy, and I was awarded the Andromedon corpse. But now that I'm thinking about it, the 2-stage nature of the Andromedon probably bypasses this bug, since i...

I hesitate to fill up the bug report forum with more complaints without being sure, but I noticed something in my ironman campaign, and I'm wondering if anyone else had noticed the same. I love overwatch spec'd gunners, rangers, and specialists, so I'm running with a bunch of them, and I got a lot o...

It sounds like there are two bugs here. The first seems to involve red fog not applying to revived units. I haven't seen that reported before, so that's kind of interesting. The other has been reported and is known and fixed in 1.5, and causes effects (like burning, disorient, poison etc) to stop ti...

Are you still set to receive donations from over there?

That's what it does *now*, but it's not clear that it's intended. Given the weird bugginess with the animations and the fact that it only comes into play rarely, I'd guess it's an unintended bug.

What about ironman saves? Does saving and reloading *after* you trigger the bug revert it?

Holy hell, this is good to know. What happens if you save/reload? Or go back to a save from before you hit the strip weapon upgrades button?

Without seeing the to-hit wings on the UI, I would guess that it's a dodge issue? As things stand right now, your total crit chance is clamped at 100%, and cannot go above 100%. More importantly, this clamping happens *before* dodge is taken into account. I do not know whether this is intentional or...

This is really interesting. It seems like they're aiming to do a lot more to change the overall gameplay of XCOM2 then they did with Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within. EW added some cool features (MECs, Gene Modding, EXALT), but didn't really change the core gameplay in a meaningful way. Certainly not in t...

It's fixed in 1.5, for what it's worth:

"- Fix effects not ticking after a unit is mind controlled."

In LW1, Rocketeers that fired rockets had +2 mobility after firing rockets. However, this lead to some weird behavior, in which firing rockets conferred by perks (ie. rockets that weren't reducing mobility) would still give extra mobility. This led to rocketeers carrying 5 rockets (at -4) mob having...

The mind controlled officer was a result of a bug that's been around since vanilla. It causes some tower hack rewards like deception to fire again when you use haywire (or full override) after having hacked a tower. So you got deception and mc'd the civilian. Then you used haywire and the deception ...

I think that pressing Esc is not the only cause of this bug. I just did a mission, taken full control of a Mec for all the mission, the next turn the skill was unavailable. I didn't press esc, I just made one click when prompted 'press any key' after the hack success Assuming there is no typo in yo...

Yep, exactly (and I do it too). I never noticed about the cooldown originally, but we had internal testers claiming that these skills never had cooldowns or always did, and it turned out to be related to who was mashing ESC and who wasn't. It's on my list to fix for 1.5. I think that pressing Esc i...

Yeah, someone else recently posted about this as well. It's not "move strength from one region to another" activity. It's "build a facility" activity. In general the AI will favor starting this activity in regions with no XCOM presence, but apparently it can happen occasionally i...

Wow, I actually don't think I've ever seen Needle Grenades pop up as an AWC perk. Has anyone else?

What month of the game are we talking about? Also did you start this campaign under 1.3 (pre-1.4)? Or after 1.4 was released?

Whoa. I would love to know more about what actually happens when you successfully skulljack an advent soldier but the soldier remains alive afterwards.

Do you still get the hacking UI?

Terror From the Deep. One of the expansions to the old 80s version of X-Com.

It appears to be an announcement of an announcement. We'll know more on June 12th.

If I recall correctly, 60% is, in fact, the chance to apply the "burning" stat. This was actually a nerf (down from 75%) that was applied when the step-out and targeting mechanics were vastly improved back in 1.1.

In any case, I would guess that you've found the correct line in the ini.
