Implacable can be fun, especially when you can drop someone with your first shot then move into flank/pointblank for another kill. Also good for running out into the open for a dangerous long range flank, then getting back to cover. My left side rangers tend to have crap move, so this is a solid boo...

My biggest gripe is the UI, which isn't just about LW2. I use a lot of mods to see information more clearly (hours remaining, infiltration details, squad character portraits, soldier perks, etc) but there are still too many instances of clicking 12 times to do one simple thing. Managing the base in ...

Can confirm rainbow squad + gas + run away is funny as hell.

The Rupture perk is a special shot that has a high crit chance and does 3 rupture, but it needs to hit and is only available once every 4 turns. For Gunners, taking Rupture means passing up Rapid Fire, a critical skill for Gunners. Gunners really mature with Rapid Fire at GSgt and Traverse Fire at ...

I get the feeling not many folks use fixed squads, but I do. I try to put together groups that play well together, with some spare soldiers to deal with wounds or tube time. I don't use Commander's Choice, so a fair number of my troops are just whatever the gods wish. Also, AWC perks can change stuf...

FitH all day. Roust is ok but without FitH you're basically giving up on using the rocket. Even if you go all flame afterwards take FitH. I always regret it when I don't. This time around I'm trying for a bit more finesse, so I'm barely using rockets and explosives anyway. My flame techs are either...

Flamethrower technicals can just go down the right side. I use this build if they have high Def and weak Aim. AFAICT Roust does benefit from all the relevant talents. With Incinerator it's pretty big. Some people ditch Roust for more accurate rockets, but I like to go all-in on fire. Usually I give ...

I go with more specialized builds. You can pretty much go down the left side and have a great aggressive ranger who will kill 1 or 2 targets per turn, even if they're in cover. Rupture is the only weak choice in that line - Rapid Fire is so good that you'll almost never use Rupture, so Combat Fitnes...
