The easiest way would to be to use Commander's Choice and just manually switch everyone to the old class, which still appears in the CC menu. I don't think Commander's Choice can do this. I use it and it only shows the LW2 soldier classes as options. I looked through its config and couldn't find an...

I decided not to bother with Snap Shot Sharpshooter whether Officer or not. This was literally the first time I took Snap Shot and I was missing the better aim at range with DFA and getting that action point back on kills to steady. Even the Holotarget Sharpershooter I ran in my 1.1/1.2 campaign fel...

Thanks for all the feedback, dudes. I've updated my original post and I'm getting a better idea of what I want to do. One set of changes I want to point out is to Specialist. After reading Dwarfling's comments here and in another topic, I revised my builds. For my Officer build, I've decided to swap...

Thanks everyone for the advice! I''m not so sure about Shinobi Officers. Could make them work, but the needs of being in Command Range and for perks with LOS to the squad are going to conflict with stealth scouting and long Fleche runs, especially at lower ranks. I find focus fire to be really bad, ...

Been playing Legendary for months now, here's some input: Thanks for the quick feedback, Dwarfling. Hoping to hear from more! BTW, I also started a thread on Soldier Classes Builds here . Kind of overlap between them. And thanks for helping me with them already, Dwarfling. And I see you've commente...

With my new v1.4 Legendary campaign underway, I'm looking at polishing up my various soldier skills builds. I'm interested in what you think. EDIT: Updated after reading the first bunch of replies. Here's what I have now. Within a builds, skills separated by '/' are ones I'm not so sure of, with the...

Looking for advice on how to fill out my barracks, both to get the bodies, what soldier classes to make, how many in what builds, and how to pay for it all. It's 2035 April 8 in my LW2 Legendary campaign, about 5 weeks in. My barracks has 23 soldiers and I just put the last Rookie in the GTS to trai...

http://ufopaedia.org/index.php/Officers_(LW2) I'm getting to Officers in my v1.4 Legendary campaign. Some of the skill tradeoffs I understand, but I'd like to know more about all of them. Mostly it's about when some of the less likely choices are necessary and do they make a difference in v1.4. How ...

How many missions does it take your Squaddies, LCpls, and Cpls (and up) get their next promotion? I have never run a successful mission and NOT had every Squaddie, LCpl, and Cpl get a promotion. Only by the time I get Sgts does it take more than 1 mission to get a promotion. Note this is NOT the LW2...

There's Zombies as well. An ADVENT soldier counting as 1 in the Activity that got killed, turned into a Zombie, then killed again (either directly or by dealing with the creating alien) will count double in the action summary.

On Veteran, I did it at the start of June - away from my starting region. The first region is too valuable as a Vigilance magnet to just liberate it that fast imo. The initial region also has a Radio Tower at start. Towers are pricey and the price goes up as you get more of them. You get one for fr...

Playing a new 1.4 LW2 Legendary campaign, I'm reading and rereading a lot of the recent posts here and on reddit about LW2 to adjust my strategy. And now I'm wondering whether it would help switching the AWC and the Psi Lab to use Engineers as staff, or even better allow both Engineers and Scientist...

Thanks for all the feedback, guys. A 5 man squad can do pretty reliably Ex Light missions. 4 Man Ex Light / 5 Man V. Light is pretty risky and I only attempt them with my top soldiers & if the reward is worth the risk. As long as you make sure not to trigger multiple pods on the same turn, you s...

I'm interested in hearing what others think about the hard timers and reinforcement timers, especially on Legendary but also other difficulties. I've been running a 1.4 Legendary campaign. I can just barely handle Legendary. To manage this, rather than drop down in difficulty, I prefer to mod XCOM t...

I managed to fix it, I don't know why this works though. .... Thanks for the help llll BlackFlag and Jacke, and I hope this works for you as well Clownprince Glad I was able to help. However, I think there still may be an issue here, especially if you try to disable Long War 2 and run stock XCom 2....

I alredy tried that, I even uninstalled the game and downloaded it again, it didn't work. Did you clear out your profile config directory before you removed and reinstalled? C:\Users\<username>\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config\ Did you check on Steam under XCom 2 in Workshop to see what mod...

As 1.5 is likely more than a month away, I decided to start a 1.4 campaign to get caught up on all the changes so far before there's more. Aware of some of the changes, but I'm wanting to understand more about the better builds especial as a campaign progresses. How the perks are. What synergies bet...

The NCE code balances the bonuses and penalties, so changing a lot of the low ranges could lead to other problems with your soldiers. What I do is increase the overall average of stats. Best way I think to do that is install the mod A Better Rookie for LW2 LITE and metamod it. I take out 3 of its fi...

I decided to start a LW2 1.4 campaign as 1.5 seems to be well over a month away. So I checked my mods and started Gatecrasher. Squad deployed behind a building so I started carefully flanking around. On the near side of the bulding, there was door but no windows. So the 4th or 5th soldier I moved bl...

Yes, this is the right track: differentiate all the grenades and effects. Here's my attempt (changes underlined ): .... I like that approach. Numbers may need adjusting and would have to be playtested. And I like to look at the real world for inspiration. Incendiary grenades and other fire weapons ...

When you reinstalled XCOM 2 and LW2, did you make sure their directories were empty of other changes? That's probably true. You probably want to clean up your profile directory "/Users/<username>/Documents/My Games/XCOM2/". In there go into "XComGame/Config" and delete everything...

Still, someone somewhere on Gatecrasher must have just lost 3 Rookies and another one bleeding out thanks to a triple pod activation.

As has been said many a time, it'll be ready when it's ready.

I wouldn't necessarily put stun lancers in the "need to be controlled" camp. They're dangerous and annoying, but having one unit stunned for a turn.... Stun Lancers can also knock a soldier unconscious for the rest of the battle. Better hope you have a Specialist with an unused charge of ...

I've stated this several times before but RNG based balance is the worst sort of balance because it doesn't really balance anything, it just makes a mess of your tactics. If fire grenades are OP currently (i agree to that) changing them to 75% chance to set an enemy on fire won't make them 25% weak...

I think Xavier is just getting bored of the super-easy-mode his campaign is in right now because of him being so far ahead. I'm not sure Xavier is so far ahead. His squads still look undergeared and his research may not be advanced enough. I think he also needs more troops. But he's a really good p...
