I think he means Smash 'n Grabs.

Someone somewhere must have asked about when 1.5 is coming out. >:(

Doing a strategy level game log is starting to sound fun. I've already collected notes for the first month, and I'll start a thread about it later today. Everyone can laugh at me when I totally fall on my face :lol: I really wished more games had some sort of log to track game events and player act...

I'm wiping all XCOM 2 files off my machine.... Right off the top of my head, if you're getting a load error loading a save game, either a game file or the save is likely corrupted and the game can't finish and has recognised it. Can you load any other save? I'd keep the save and remove and reinstal...

Saw this reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/6h6dt7/even_more_details_about_war_of_the_chosen_from_ign/ linking this IGN article on XCOM 2 War of the Chosen. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2017/06/14/e3-2017-extensive-details-on-xcom-2-war-of-the-chosen The first comment on reddit has a ...

If you're not on an Ironman campaign, I'd say save first then try to run the Data Leak mission. It'll be very very hard and you may need the exact right team to succeed, even with wounds and casualties. Try it once or twice. If you can't get through it, then you can reload and go with the Retaliation.

If you flashbang any of your mind-controlled soldiers or mind control an alien with a psi operative then flashbang it they may be disoriented for the rest of the mission IF mind control is lost while they are flashbanged.

Can this be worked around with console commands?

Could this be due to activating 2 pods simultaneously? And the Kill Zone only gets shots at one of pods, whichever one activates "first"?

Alas the old XCOM inventory system got dropped for streamlining in the new XCOM games, despite it being closer to reality. In an infantry section, everyone carries belts for the LMG. Removing the -1 mobility from special ammo sounds like an easy mod. I've also heard of a special ammo "slot"...

The main draw of XCOM is that it gives you a lot of ways to mitigate the randomness, or play around it. With starting soldiers this can be done by speccing them into different skill trees, so it's not an issue. I still think the randomness of the soldiers, especially the tendency to have crap stats...

[ Starting barracks, soldier NCE stat distribution, and random promotions to particular soldier classes are massive RNG crap shoot. ] Completely agree with you. Just looking at aim distribution at the start of Gatecrasher can be depressing. It can all cripple a campaign start. I've gotten to the po...

I thought Acid Grenades excel in shredding several layers of armour, like on the big tough beasties.

I had a very simple colour code in stock XCOM and XCOM 2, one colour per soldier class. However, with LW2 and 8 soldier classes with 3 skills per rank, I have many possible builds. Was around 14 or more in LW2 1.2. Here's what I had. Troop Appearance Will keep most customization of new troops. Will ...

Xwynns in one of his recent videos of his latest Legendary campaign had a 4-MEC pod in July.

meiam wrote:Psi ops created post 1.3 should be okay right?

The bug isn't fixed for sure unless you have the mod installed when you started your campaign. It may be fixed after the fact. In your case, I'd install the mod and then fix your existing Psi Ops with console commands.

As it stands, these should be an additional dedicated single slot for ammo, allowing only 1 ammo per soldier.... There is a dedicated ammo slot. It's just disabled by default. The mod "Tactical Rigging: Ammo and Grenades" (along with the mods "Ammo Pocket Fix" and "TONS of ...

Back in February, I made this post on Avenger Facilities . A lot was changed with Avenger Facilities for LW2 1.3 and 1.4: upkeep was zeroed, many build costs and power needs increased. Here's my updated facilities chart gleaned from XCommLW_Overhaul.ini. Avenger Facilities for Long War 2 v1.3/1.4 Fa...

If it's worth it, you could put in the highest rank soldier, preferably Officer, you can afford to spare. It'll take a long time but he will eventually recruit more rebels. It may be better for you to focus on other zones as it will take months.

Looking at xwynn's run, he's at a later date (July 13th) and just did his first network tower, and has like 20 supply income. I'm July 8th working on my first HQ with +200 income. I don't know what dark sorcery or sacrifices made to Eldritch horrors Xwynns does. A July network tower with a laser sh...

ADVENT reinforcements spawn close to the centre of mass of XCOM at the start of XCOM's previous turn. But they should have ramped up to pods of 8 rather quickly. You must have had a good squad, perhaps max number of soldiers with good gear.

There's a mod for that: "VIPs Grab Loot". And there's also the mod "Gremlins Grab Loot" using a Specialist action.

From a comment on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/ ... _types_in/), a haiku.

One hundred options.
One correct choice to be made.
None I can afford.

If I subscribe to A Better Rookie for LW2 Lite... i wouldn't want to adjust any soldier characteristics..... just make pistols, all grenades (except shaped charges and proximity mines and all ammunition weigh ZERO. I took a look at XComLW_Overhaul.ini and the lines which declare the weights of the ...

just realized i was babbling so i'll cut to the chase: my changes to the overhaul.ini namely the weight of ammo and grenades to zero got erased... Is this something I did or something I can avoid?? I should have noticed it when the flares weren't visible anymore (another change I'd made) I'd advise...
