I actually got the impression that the VO for the Muton Elite Autopsy was just sliced up lines from other autopsies. If I recall there's a line about "mental acuity" or something that sounded a lot like the Advent Captain autopsy and a line about "more advanced weapons and armor"...

I'd like to describe my experience and wondering if anyone else shares it. I'm mid-late game playing on Veteran (Advanced Mags, saving cores for shadow chamber, just finished elurium research) and I have two highly leveled infiltration shinobis (with ghostwalker, covert, conceal, and tradecraft). I'...

LongWar 1.1 Steam (Windows 10) Mods: Evac All, Gotcha, Overwatch all/others, free camera rotation and skulljack feedback fix I've tested this a couple times after it first happened and it seems to happen every time. Mind Merge grants ablative hit points as it should, but those hit points vanish as s...

Small thing, but if you have a mindlash equipped on a psi soldier and attempt to equip a 2nd one, the text over the mindlash reads "Can't equip multiple UNKNOWN ITEM TYPE".

(sorry for stupid question) How does one go about enabling the dev console in the first place? Go to steam Library. Right click XCom2, click "properties". Click "set launch properties". Type "-allowconsole" (no quotes, but include the dash) in the box and click "o...

Lockdown + Danger Close + mayhem = A very very strong suppression gunner. I had one suppress 7 units at once on a tower assault, because Danger Close is amazing, and he killed the 3 that attempted to move. With Lockdown and an elite hair trigger, the overwatch penalty is negated amd most of the tim...

I can confirm that I have occasionally seen this in my games as well - doing damage to relays that is less than the minimum that weapon should do.

Next time it happens I'll see if I can replicate it and grab the save file.

It's the latter. For instance, there's a +/- 10% "graze band" on all shots, right? So any shot with a raw hit% between 90% and 10% ALWAYS has a 20% chance to graze. A dodged graze will "downgrade" a graze to a miss. So an enemy with 10 dodge will cause 10% of the graze shots to m...

You need Hybrid Materials Research as well as Alien Biotech --> Trooper Autopsy --> Advent Robotics

Advent Robotics research unlocks the "Mechanized Warfare" project in the Proving Grounds, which gives you a SPARK.

This is great information, thanks! I do have something to add to the discussion... if your campaign is early on, I believe I read somewhere else on this forum that there is a console command that rerolls all AWC perks for all soldiers. EDIT: Found it. It's in this thread: http://www.pavonisinteracti...

I'm curious about this: "- AWC cross-training restrictions reconfigured to exclusively use perk triggers (rather than currently bugged class restrictions). Should see a lot more options open up for training." I'm excited that there will be a lot more options, as I've been a little sad that...

You get corpses when you win a mission that has "murder everything" as a goal.

You do not get corpses when you win a mission by evac'ing.

For reference, here's a great visualization posted in a different thread showing highlighting before 1.1 and after 1.1 http://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=24095 I noticed this too and wondered if this was by design. I read in the original flamethrower changes thread tha...

This is very much a dynamic document and I'll be updating as long as it is necessary. Keep in mind that I'm one guy who is trying to test 500+ mods so I can, and will miss a 99% shot occasionally. Feel free to let me know and I'll get a fix up asap. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e7YrjDSl9...

Also, Vanilla had a (maybe) bug that wasn't changed for Long War in that reaction fire only triggers once the suppressed target has moved 2 or 3 tiles. If the target breaks line of sight before that (if, say, it's peeking around the side of a solid wall and moves out of sight behind the wall), you g...

You unlock "Psionics" *Research* from sectoid autopsy. Psionics research requires a sectoid corpse (among other things).

Advent Officer Autopsy requires Advent Trooper Autopsy.

I brought a couple of shape charges on my first HQ assault. Give them to a shinobi or assault. Apparently they are VERY loud, but they also allow you to open up the outer wall of a building so that when enemy pods come patrolling through, your soldiers can see them

So are you guys able to target adjacent targets around cover? Like, I am on the south face of a full cover and flanking someone on the west face of the same cover. My flamethrower skips right over him to the square behind him. Has happened repeatedly. This happened to me as well. There was a note i...

To be even more clear, the vast majority of missions are "get in and get out". You're hacking, you're extracting a VIP, you're rescuing rebels from jail, etc. etc. Any mission that ends with you hitting that "evac" button will never yield any corpses. Troop column ambushes, suppl...

From the 1.1 changelist thread:

"- Lost Towers POI won't appear to FL 8; Alien Nest won't appear until FL 12"

I don't know what FL stands for but it sounds like they moved the Nest later.

I'm frustrated by this as well. I love the new targeting mechanics, but they nerfed everything else about it so hard that it's so difficult to use. I *want* to love the flamethrower, but it's hard. I'm actually ok with the damage nerf, but the nerf to burning chance and range is tough to swallow. Ar...

That being said, I've played a decent amount and I've seen the Viper King 2 times - a tower mission (since disallowed by 1.1) and a troop column ambush. I was thinking that hopefully rulers were only allowed to show up on missions without timers. Has anyone seen a ruler show up on a timed mission? T...

My squad was already NOT concealed. The bot I hacked has LOS to an inactive pod that could see the bot, but not anyone in my squad. It wasn't about breaking conealment, but about the fact that an inactive pod that could see it took shots despite not going active.

One of those weird edge-cases that doesn't show up often, and I have no idea whether it's intended behavior or not. An un-concealed specialist hacks an activated advent drone. The drone is in LOS of another un-activated pod. That pod does NOT activate after haywire protocol resolves. No scatter, no ...

I asked the question about the "to hit" crit penalty too. It can be a little confusing. To put it succinctly - if you have 100% chance to hit, and a raw 50% chance to crit, then there is no "to-hit" penalty, because you are *actually* critting 50% of the time (since you're hittin...
