I'm pretty sure the mission blurb tells you which Dark Event it counters.

Perhaps in this case it was an undiscovered DE that was shut down?

Yes. It's a bit counter-intuitive but the first liberation mission has find a lead (don't care about capitals) in the objectives and no intel package as reward. As such it appears less attractive then other guerilla missions when you don't know what to look for while actually it's a requirement for...

On a less chastising note, can the war really go on indefinitely if facilities are periodically destroyed, setting back the doom counter? Is there a limit to how powerful the aliens get or can Dark Events stack up endlessly? I heard you can buy time destroying facilities and the like, but that the ...

One of the main problems with the Liberation missions is the "Find a lead vs. Find a Lead" nonsense, which is completely confusing unless you've been reading around the forums. The whole Liberation mechanics are thoroughly obscure without external reading, and it's key to advancing the war...

Haven't gotten to SPARKs yet in the campaign since getting Shen's Last Gift DLC, but I think I'll follow the overwatch build and employment. ...once you can path Wrecking Ball through most of the enemy pod's covers.... Though once I read the Wrecking Ball description, this is how I imagined a SPARK...

It is not about the topic but I would highly appreciate if you could say me what mods do you use. I noticed a yellow sight indicator (maybe a flanked indicator mod) and several colours on the abilities buttons (guess related with number of actions or cd). The flank indicator is from Gotcha! and the...

Not sure why the forum didn't warn me of a new post while i was typing mine. I keep reading this, and some people keep implying these missions are exploitable when in truth it's a risky two-hour slog with proportional rewards. It is an option to infiltrate with a smaller squad, trading rewards for ...

2. Rein in the silly hyperbolic rewards of maximum squad size supply raids ( ideas here ). I keep reading this, and some people keep implying these missions are exploitable when in truth it's a risky two-hour slog with proportional rewards. It is an option to infiltrate with a smaller squad, tradin...

Try the long war 2 compatible mercenary plasma rifle mod, they look worlds better than the vanilla. Ugh no, that stuff looks like garbage. Seriously people need to learn how to properly texture, those merc plasma weapons completely look out of place in an AAA game. Like some novice threw their sket...

I keep getting this bug in LW2 1.1 with both the Shadowkeeper pistol (I don't think I've ever seen it in combat yet) and the laser one, and I've never used Stop Wasting My Time. Mostly on a Sharpshooter of mine, but I did use the special gun with a Shinobi a couple of times, and it was also invisibl...

Not a bad idea, but possibly complex from a code/inventory standpoint. Make two Gauntlets. Rocket Gauntlet and Flamer Gauntlet. Proving Grounds upgrade provides one of each when built. This. As it was said earlier, a Rocket Gauntlet with two rockets and no flamethrower fuel, and a Flamer Gauntlet w...

An officer could technically provide an extra action to a Shinobi who has just run up to an enemy and sliced it, allowing them to perform another attack in the same XCOM turn.

I understand the pros and cons and my intention is not generate a discussion about if Shivs yes or not, my proposal is that we could have the choice of being able to use them on the battlefield , and if you do not want to create or use them don´t do it! Nobody forces you, However, other people will...

SHIVs never really fit in the new games, thanks in part to the squad limits. Even though that restriction is lessened in LW1 and 2, truth is they're not quite expendable, as they require a significant investment of time and resources that could otherwise be devoted to soldiers and their gear. And yo...
