Yeah I took Spark out on one mission and it died in a few turns.

A Shinobi but fore purely narrative lore reasons lol. Ranger would be my typical choice though, or medic. Narrative/lore? I guess you're trying to reenact "The Last Samurai?" :o :o :o Lol I wish, but nah the main character of a graphic novel I had basically sold to Dark Horse before our l...

Hah I am getting so desperate to play that I actually tried the debug code before it was in the game ._.

How can you rename it? I would prefer Infiltrator or "Vanguard" as you said, I dunno what an Outrider is but it certainly sounds better than Shinobi. Because its edgy. It's really not that big of a problem, considering the game is already full of questionable design choices: bolt casters i...

Remember that your haven troops are all rookies with assault rifles. So pick an advisor who helps in battle vs faceless and advent. Or SMGs, or shotguns. But yes. I'm liking grenadiers as advisors, myself. They can wreck cover and deploy flashbangs and such, on top of officer abilities, to help eve...

Can you delay or put off this mission for say, 2-3 weeks without anything bad happening or it expiring?

Of course, your complaint about the Secondary Weapon is valid. It's the same deal with blade specced Shinobis though, with SMGs just being useless. Better holding something than nothing, as it were. Not entirely true, the SMG gives the shinobi's a movement boost, which is definitely useful for them...

These are ini. changes, so things like HP values on X unit etc will be instant and retroactive.

Yeah as Devon Said, Rangers are pretty awesome form the get-go. They are especially amazing as Haven advisors, they can outright assassinate the faceless with double barrel after someone else puts a little damage into it, which isn't hard with how easy it is to hit them. They also can do just a crap...

Oh hey there you amazing person, thanks a lot I'm going to push this over to the Reddit. People are really frothing over there currently!

Regarding the combat knife, I read somewhere that some testers has great success with the combat knife. Something about the knife having a higher aim bonus than the sword, and it made a reliable way to finish off a nearby enemy within blue-move range. The good news is, you can just mod your idea di...

I thought the idea was to improve the flamethrower and make it more attractive to a) take some flamer perks, and b) take risks to get into position for a good flaming.

Yeah sounds like I'm going to, again, not bother with flamethrowers with this patch.

A squad that works together has a light version of the chemistry mod for EU/EW, the Officer gains some sort of bonuses for meshing with familiar troops... That's what I read anyways!

Uhhmmm... Hm, I dunno. I managed to pull all 10 out one time which was... No small feat. Managed to basically get a lucky evac zone in a building and overwatched enough DPS to take out dropping advent, so the mission was a success.

In a mission I actually extracted a girl with 2 turns on bleedout and when I got back to base she was dead. Weird indeed, cos there's even a Steam Achievement for doing precisely that, and I got it last week. So it's a feature even in vanilla. Hrrmmm... I was sure I got her out when she still had 1...

Whatever I do I ALWAYS have a field medic. For some reason the enemies always target my field medic first. It's kind of silly when my medic gets knocked unconscious when he's the one supposed to revive unconscious people =_=. I like the idea but find the space hard to justify and his offensive abil...

Just an update on my situation, it was somehow mod related I believe, since when I uninstalled all mods, deleted everything and just installed LW2 the problem disappeared from me. I suspect there might been some remnants of old mods causing issues, but I'm gradually adding mods again now to test fu...

The gunners blade actually does pretty decent damage and is SUPER reliable. If you are sick of melee oriented aliens killing your tank gunners the knife as a counter works out pretty well too. I've used it to for certain finish off low health aliens here and there. Its not arc thrower or sword fant...

When's 1.1 due out? Another Rookie dies :( Lol seriously though, we don't know. I am just on the edge of my seat as you as my game pretty much is dead until the console command for freeing up infiltrators and I am a MASSIVE XCOM2 junkie. I had to stop playing like an addict in university when EU ca...

1. I heavily question the role of the gunner's knife. It's cool that he has a unique secondary like everyone else has their signature secondary, but I just don't get why this one is so crappy. 2. The chameleon suit doesn't quite make sense to me. I believe that infiltration times work on some kind ...

The secondary is amazing if something melee'centric with lots of HP... *Cough* Chrys *Cough* gets up against you and you survive their first strike... Just blow their freaking brains out and smirk.

Tower Liberation mission, yeah Shinobi actually seem pretty good after-all.. lol. Also, how amazing is the blacklight retribution helmet mod? Still waiting for Reaper though.

Well... Being in the armed forces up here, I can tell you the typical treatment for panic is in fact a physical strike to try and snap someone out of their state of shock. It actually, does normally work to slap a person to their senses when panicking. The strike actually causes a lot of mental and...
