Overwatch while Disoriented

Post by Ithuriel »

Are you supposed to be able to overwatch while disoriented, e.g. flashbanged? Because I'm fairly regularly seeing ADVENT doing it, but when my own soldiers are flashbanged overwatch is disabled. Screenshot of ADVENT as an example: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =868917948

Also, is it intended that Vipers can spit poison and I think tongue grab while flashbanged?

Intended behaviour is that disorienting units remove OW which was in place before they were disoriented. It should work this way for both XCOM and aliens. However, units which are currently disoriented can enter overwatch, which could have happened in your screenshot.

Vipers shouldn't be able to spit or bind while disoriented.

Then why can't my own soldiers enter overwatch while disoriented? If I get hit by a flashbang my soldiers can't overwatch (I think I can't if I'm suppressed, also).

I'm less certain about the viper thing though, so nevermind.
