I don't know why I thought the missions expired at random times. I thought squad size/infiltration management was a risk-reward mechanic, rather than one that you calculate for.

You can't hide your mistakes from me, subhuman.

Just because it was a he when it was human doesn't mean it's not a she now, user. That's what all that snekslut hypno-induction therapy was for.

That's not the way, user.

I have found the Ace Combat soundtrack goes breddy gud with the removal of ayylmao.

Post 'em

all ive got atm

What's happening? To make this animation happen.

jumping down from a ledge

looks like reaction fire when jumping through a skylight

from certain camera angles soldiers look like angels

>Drone appears
>Try to kill it.
>1 armor 2 damage
>1 armor 1 graze
>1 armor 4 damage

Every time.

the only solution

A shinobi about to remove snek

It's always the last hit that crits for the full HP amount. Sectoid with one health? Doesn't matter if you fire an smg, it's gonna crit for 12.

that looks so fucking stupid

the magazine is the size of her head

B-BUT THE TACTICOOL THO

to be fair, the guns XCOM uses are enormous. I want to put in some real t1 weapons like the bagel did but idk where to edit values to match long war's.

big bulit for big ayys

just use xskin it will makes things a bit easier

you're gonna have to elaborate senpai

Can't help you on the armor; I think it looks nice. Same shinobi taking out a Faceless

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=707548632&searchtext=xskin

it lets you simply pick what skin your weapon uses in the attachment menu

>Thin men are now Vipers
>"The aliens don't need an infiltration unit anymore"
>Faceless

Almost looks like a stand.

Like a what?

Those super beings from jojo, it has that semi-weird pose going on.

This was a good one. Two-man, two-day infiltration jailbreak, ghosted my way in, alarm goes off when I busted the doors, left the building and conducted a frantic retreat under fire from a 3-man 1-MEC pod to the evac zone. Got everybody out without firing a shot.

Is there an ability to return to infiltration?
Is there an ability to give other units infiltration?

Would be cool if you could sneak in, pop your stealth to open the door and call in evac, then return your operators the stealth and give the VIP infiltrate as well.

There's at least 2
Not that I know of.

>Implying shinobis one-shotting fucking everything isn't useful

What class gets the pistol skills in Long War?

If I call down an evac zone on an Alien Relay mission, will it stay there forever? I'm set up in a good position near just a few turns in.

Maybe if you got a good hacking opportunity, some of those will return the squad to concealment, but that leaves it RNG dependent.

None of them get them in their regular learnset, but you can get the pistol skills in the AWC.

But since shit is random I'd say pistols are not useful

youtube.com/watch?v=xOHpXiDFlbA

I remember a thread on another site once debating what the best path for Bradford was, and the winner was pistol-spec marksman.

You can do that with a shinobi

I run ops like that with just one unit

David's character is named David, fuck it why not Lori's?

Avenging angels

time to rest

If LW2 makes pistols not useful, then the entire mod isn't useful itself.

Do soldiers level too fast in long war 2?

Pistols are still useful in LW2. You can train any solider to learn every Pistol perk, it just takes time, and the order is random.

>defend a datatap mission with immediate launch
>limit is 8, send in the A squad
>A team ends up on one side of the map
>Technical adviser with 5 rookies is with the datatap on the other side of the map
>14 people in total to control
>kill everything and prevent destruction

Honestly that was pretty fucking wicked, I liked that setup.

I'm not sure why Bradford begged me to evac though when two of the rookies bit the dust, as no one else was in any remote danger, and there were only two enemies left on the map with one being disabled and the other guaranteed dead

Even in the ADVENT future,

>white

Can reinforcements have loot?

Wow dude, that's an epic meme image, I can't believe your wit!

. . .I don't get it
are you losing your shit because she's black but has a last name of White?
My Uncle's last name is green, but he doesn't have green skin

I haven't even beaten a tower mission yet, I just started a new campaign. Got this though.

sounds like you may have an ayy as an uncle

thin mint detected

Da's bekause your git unkle ain't orky enuff

How does the ADVENT Soldier who walks by, his view angle clearly going over the XCOM operative, not actually see the XCOM operative?

Too busy watching snek porn on the inside of his helmet.

>too busy watching snek porn
it's either this or "i'm too lazy/my payrate says this/i don't even want to fight"
that explains why they have the detection radius

>pay rate

they're fucking clones

Also explains why all the pods on the map don't rush to the sound of explosions

>Building across the street explodes
>Fuck that, I'm not getting paid enough to fight them

Clones need money too. They need those advent burgers.

You're walking down the street to the store when a Viper comes and slaps your ass while saying "Sssexy boy."

What do you do? Remember that she has a plasma rifle and acid.

allahu akbar

WELL GEE HEY THERE MISS DO YOU WANT TO SEE MY GUNS?
*wrist flamethrower to the face*

If I'm a civilian, the scary snake lady can do what she wants to me but I'm off to join the resistance the next day.

If I am already XCOM/Resistance, see the above two anons response.

>You will never have a snek molest you in public while people either watch or refuse to help

not even xcom would help you

...

Faceless aren't infiltrators, they are living mines and traps.

That's kinda hot.

>so good he has ghost operatives
wow

REMOVE POD SYSTEM REMOVE POD SYSTEM

>dark event called faceless infiltrators

I want a hyde port to remove ayy in a wife-beater while shouting gibberish.

Technically the event is called alien infiltrator in vanilla.

I don't know your Hyde, but I sure know this Hyde.

I too want a Sam Hyde

...

How about a MEC skin?

I think I'm going to start giving eyepatches to soldiers that survive bleeding out now.

>Mike Pence
he better be a stun-specced assault

>no trigger discipline
Like pottery. I remember this failure of a person.

>Pray Away

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=859601422

you just made the wrong assumption in thinking Sam needs or cares about trigger discipline when he's mostly going to be emptying that gun

This is great news, now if somehow they can find the viper skin bug caused by the DLC.

Needs to empty that weapon into his head and stop giving the internet cancer, tbhfamlam
