It just doesn't seem possible to beat sooooooo many enemies :( Yes. You will eventually want to get a squad of heavies prepraed for missions that have "enemy retaliation" on them. My squad is: 1 Pure Medic 1 Hacker (Skip Threat Assessment) 1 Gunner (can be replaced with technical or suppo...

For specific missions where you know there will be mechs? Sure, if you want to spend the resources to make them. But otherwise the main problem is that because all the mechanized units are armored the +5 or whatever damage they do is only really +3(it was even worse in vanilla). Since the normal por...

I see. You don't even use tracers? They are super cheap just $5 and come from hybrid materials research which is quite early, and they help you to hit to begin with. I would think you would use them on rangers since they fire twice. Early on Gunners and Snipers and Rangers* can take AP rounds, prev...

Hrm a lot of love for Shinobi, I really enjoyed Ranger in Vanilla and was upset that I can't basically have a Ranger with a sword again, I loved the versatility of having a long range fighter who could chain kill a dozen+ a-lines in the last mission when properly using Grenadiers. But how about Shi...

Is the range 3x3 on a grenadier? Because if it is then that seems just fine.

3x3 would make them really strong on normal units..

Also do they count as explosive grenades for the purposes of needle grenades?

1) I dont want the sharpshooter to be BETTER than the shinobi, I just want a pure holotarget build to have a weapon that compliments that style of playing the class. 1) The first sentence contradicts the second 2) Equip a scope. Equip a stock. Note that the sniper has the highest base aim progressi...

it doesn't need to be able to be an amazing scout, and it never will be simply because it does not have the infiltration nor defensive perks to allow it to compete as a "pure scout" against a Shinobi. As I said earlier infiltrating into enemy territory/exploring ahead of your main conting...

With an SMG the sharpshooter would be as mobile as a shinobi with less need for secondary equipment (due to spotting equipment for free). So yes, they would be a better pure scout than a Shinobi I disagree. The shinobi fills a unique roll where it can go on solo mission super successfully because o...

With an SMG the sharpshooter would be as mobile as a shinobi with less need for secondary equipment (due to spotting equipment for free) which would make them more mobile. So yes, they would be a better pure scout than a Shinobi.

There is a cheap PCS you can equip to have the same effect

Any good news to Spark? Spark starts with Shredder Gun, which is less cooler that Rocket and Flamethrower. I hope Spark could get some love. Just adding new toys, like the old days of LW1. I know, that will cost lots of resuource, but adding some item without model is OK. Sparks are already pretty ...

I know, but equipping the pistol results in a movement penalty that I don't really want and I don't have another primary weapon to offset that penalty. Really all I want is to be able to equip the SMG as a sharphooter so that I can have the extra mobility. I think it's kind of ridiculous how they c...

I don't think there really are any "all purpose" missions.. As it stands i have four squads a fast squad, a heavy squad, a body retreival squad, a precision squad. Fast is : Overwatch Specialist (revival protocol only real deviation) + Support Grenadier + Fill with Shinobi. Fast is for VIP...

While its true that a pistol will eventually be better than the knife it will not be immediately. A pistol uses a slot and does 2-5 damage (assuming Center Mass). Without training it ends your turn as soon as you shoot it. The knife will do 2-4 damage with +20% aim and +20% crit. Like the Shinobi's ...

Equip a pistol. Its 1-4 damage (2.5 average) which puts it about the same quality as an SMG (2-4, 3 avg). It has infinite ammo and you're probably not going to use the side slots anyway.

Flush makes the target flee from its current spot, thus activating Overwatch and possibly Suppression (haven't tested it yet). If you have two gunners on your team, one focusing on area suppression and the other on the more mobile, SAW gunner side of the tree, you can make a pretty good combo. Lay ...
