I've saved at least a single scientist, and I got one in my first supply drop, but they are not showing up. the UI still has a big blue 0. Do the "basic research" option in the lab, it is a safety net for this kind of situation. Each time you complete that research it adds an invisible sc...

No magic to it, put a lot of rebels on intel, use avenger scan, focus in an area until you see "find a lead" in the mission description either under objectives or under rewards I forget which. If you have like 1-2 rebels on intel in each region you will have a hard time finding liberation ...

1. How is overwatch Aim calculated. When looking at the aim numbers after shots, it looks like there is usually no aim penalty, but some units when getting shot are less than full aim. Like some might be 70 but others say 50. Maybe dodge effects overwatch dunno? Overwatch/reaction shots have a mult...

You can't overwatch with the Ranger's sawed off shotgun.

You wouldn't want to, either, its accuracy drops off even more severely than the normal shotgun and it has limited ammo.

You can overwatch with the main weapon shotgun just fine.

In vanilla there was never a reason to build a laboratory, but thank you for the answer =) Is there a reason to build a laboratory in LW2? I mean yeah it CAN staff up to 4 scientists with upgrades but that eats up a lot of power and the lab itself isn't free. You're usually supply locked instead of...

It's -2, not halving. Source: me in the later game hitting level 5+ strengths doesn't halve it. Thanks, it's a bit of knowledge to keep in my back pocket. I have noticed the difference in the types of aliens I've met at AS4 versus AS2. Strength Two doesn't scare me as much :? I'm not entirely sure ...

Those are all in game options. Click the "LW2" and maybe also "campign" tabs or something and look for these options. They are very obvious. You cannot toggle the randomization option if you're in a fight, so just go to the avenger press escape hit options check the last couple t...

I'm wondering if theres any mods, settings, whatever I can change. I only infiltrate missions above 150% and I play very carefully, but with the reduced accuracy, high chances for grazing, low damage from soldiers, ammount of enemies per mission; even on extremely light vulnerable. 1) in the option...

I think most of us are waiting for 1.1 at this point. I'm going to place a bet on doing basic research twice. There are very few critical techs, the only one I can think of early game is lasers are nice but pushing them back even up to a month doesn't necessarily hurt that much because you don't hav...

I haven't seen this asked anywhere and I'm sorry if I missed it, but can the hiding faceless get promotions (those asterisks) that rebels do? o.O

My guess is yes or at least it should be that way but I dunno.

Run the simulation with the both strategies having to commit 1 scientist to AWC let's say....30 days in?

Except once you eliminate faceless from a region properly and keep them suppressed, your income is going to explode. I could be pulling in somewhere on the order of 400-600 a month if I went heavy supply on all regions! Now, I could see a case being made for reduced upkeep, but completely eradicati...

That's the thing. In those classes they have perks to improve the secondaries. The arc thrower isn't that good if it doesn't have 100% chance to disorient, or can't hit robots, for example. As per my suggestion, in fighter does improve the pistol parry in case you mess it up. The sawed off shotgun ...

Basic UI mods work fine. Pretty sure they're not built in to LW2 for exactly that reason. I'm pretty sure that's not true; 1) they don't think of every UI tweak possible, even if they could think of them it takes time to implement 2) the designers who play the game use mods like PI and flank evolve...

I'll answer your question in a roundabout way - in vanilla, could you staff a laboratory with a gremlin?

(answer is no, the wording "all" is not literally correct)

edited to make my argument more coherent, it really serves no purpose due to faceless acting as upkeep, + very awkward gamestyle where you dump money before end of month to avoid losing money

The impact of this is so overwhelmingly minor and "under the hood" early on that its almost forgettable. Its great now that I have the potential to start making advent legions shuffle around, but there's negligible [seen] benefit from the player perspective of doing this. If I hadn't read...

I did this very thing the other night, but it was in an advent strength 1 region. I brought 5 sharp shooters with a couple shinobis and specialist(in case of mecs) Being a strength 1 zone it was 44 enemies. They can get fairly intense. It was 5 pods I believe with about 8 or so enemies in each one,...

It's -2, not halving. Source: me in the later game hitting level 5+ strengths doesn't halve it.

Maybe. Still undecided. Hahaha.

You're one tough customer but hey you're running the sims, so I can't complain too much can I

Free camera rotation - lets you rotate camera so things are lined up "straight" vs 45 all the time Perfect Information - lets you see the accuracy of every shot made Additional Icons - lets you see which mobs are carrying loot (can disable), puts little icons above hp bar to show how much ...

I gotta say I agree with all the positive reviews, you guys did a really good job so far and I can't go back to vanilla.

Now give us 1.1 so we can moan about changes to make for 1.2.

Interesting, so about 30 days difference between first laser weapons. This may or may not be acceptable; to me it would be acceptable because I've noticed that I don't really have money to buy a lot of laser weapons anyways when I first finish them. About a week difference to plated armor which is n...

Interesting that you should ask this question, because I do have a couple scenarios where you might consider it - supply raid missions, and sabotage missions. Those some of the rare missions where you get to take corpses back. Maybe you don't mind going in at 0% infiltration...ok maybe that's suicid...

A gunner is specced into controlling the map, or doing heavy damage to hard targets, and should not excel at doing CQC (how do you do it while carrying a big ass cannon!?!). Leave that to the Shinobi/ranger/assault imo. The knife should be only considered when its main gun is out of ammo and you ca...
