Technical Builds?

The thread on Grenadier perk choices and builds makes me wish we had threads to discuss all the classes, people's preferred builds, how various perks feel / perform in the field and so on, but the class that has given me the most trouble when it comes to deciding how to use it is the Technical so I ...

Re: Stealth makes "Destroy the Device" and Blacksite too easy + balance suggestion

I tend to consider myself a fairly average player and I think stealth is pretty fine as is - LW2 finally made stealth viable and I really wouldn't want anything done to take that away again. I've always found my stealth missions difficult, tense, and highly enjoyable. My only successful destroy the ...

Re: Sapper/needle grenades, heat/tandem, combat engineer/full kit

Sapper seemed an obvious choice to me but so far I feel like it's a waste of time. My grenadiers still don't seem to be able to destroy cover worth a damn which leaves me feeling very disappointed with the perk. Definitely taking needle or rapid deployment if I ever get another grenadier, seriously ...

Inventory Management / Black Market Use

Re: Psi Operative Guide by Zephymos

@deaconivory - I asked Zephymos in his thread and he wasn't sure (currently in playing to try and find the answer for myself) but can my Psion continue going on missions to gain more exp in order to lower training time or is the only way forward once he hits a rank threshold to train? My guy current...

Fire activating pods / moving them to "yellow"

Happening semi regularly in my attempts on a supply raid mission, a muton on fire seems to cause his pod to activate from across the map when my team comes out of concealment, this also seems to cause the enemy turns to hang for a while and get confused/do nothing. After a while they go onto high al...

AWC Questions

A lot of my soldiers only get a single second tier AWC ability unlocked while the rest stay locked with "gain more combat experience to learn new abilities" is the tooltip correct or is this just a generic tooltip for a hidden/locked ability? It seems like I only unlock the ability immedia...

Re: PCS Dissapearing

Registered to report this bug, glad to see that it's known. Afraid I can't really report any specific steps that caused it for me as I've been playing like crazy and occasionally noticing PCS disappearing here and there. Fairly certain I'm running the latest version that's up on steam. Thanks for an...
