pistols are useful

The only embrace that vipers deserve are the warm embraces of death and napalm

Post your LW2 victory screens, I'm curious to see how the stats compare to a legend campaign.

>1 elerium core for plasma grenade

I want to rape Shen! She's so cute!

she's really fairly plain-to-ugly

Is there any scans of the concept art book? I can't seem to find any

I want to replace her with Julian

Dont drag me into this.

I'd also replace Tygan with Bubbles and Bradford with Ricky given the choice.

They'll probably be more useful.

can anyone put this up on mediafire, zippyshare or something similar? the creator took it off SKYMODS for some reason. all you have to do is subscribe to it, find the folder in steamapps, and upload it.

i can give you like $5 of ETH or BTC as a reward, just post your wallet with the link and which one you want

With WotC, we can have a squad consisting of one SPARK, one Psi trooper, one Skirmisher, one Templar, one Reaper, and one other.

What shall be the other?

None of us who own it are willing to cut it up to provide scans, no

Bradford.

alright lads i'm scared with this magnificence

>Hate Long War.

>Want a longer war.

Sigh.

Learn .ini editing.

>Needs corpses to make items.

I don't think she is an engineer at all, I think she takes what you give her and then sells it on the grey market to buy the gear.

Anyone know a fix or the cause of the instant Mag weapon research bug?

She needs raw material

Could the Commander beFemale?

Commander is a girl (male)

>"Man-Ass 15 your objection is to steal some shit from a train station"

I have some voice pack that has one of my soldiers refering to the commander as female all the time.

So probably yes.

how so? "ma'am" and such?

I self insert as a female commander

Yeah if I remember correcly I know she says something like "Yes maam, commander maam:

Sarcastically and shit.

I'll self insert into your female commander

It's the ME Jack voice pack I think, but...how does a mod prove anything?

>new alien unit appears
>Ricky over the comms:
>"WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THAT UGLY COCK WHORE? SHOOT THIS FUCKHEAD BEFORE HE BREAKS SOME SHIT."

How do I mod LW2 rockets so someone doesn't accidently behind them because their aim is so shitty?

Looks like moonman alien

what are some good weapon mods on the workshop? Also, are they actually unique weapons or just skins?

I'm pretty sure commander shepard and the commander from xcom are the same person.

I don't know, they may have the same first name but without knowing xcom's last name there's no way to be sure.

lewd mods?

commander xcom

You always get alien ruler corpses even if you blow them up right?

>get the bonus for instant proving grounds projects
>buy three ammo types
>Bugged and I don't get anything
>Ironman

Awesome.

yes

Not even lump would take away ruler corpses

Not even in your inventory?

Try not moving before shooting and taking fire in the hole

>Graze
>Graze
>Graze

Who thought this was a good mechanic?

Nope. When I click "ok" on the notification that pops up, I get a zoomed out proving grounds menu and nothing else.

Do you prefer Perception or Agility PCS for your sharpshooters?

Anything to improve sight is useful for Sharpshooters, Agility is more for Rangers

fuck LW2's never ending stream of unimportant side missions DESU

Death From Above is amazing skill in LW2. Anyone know how it holds up in Vanilla for a sniper focused sharp? Doesn't seem as powerful since it doesn't negate squadsight aim penalty and no steady weapon.

>Complains about a mechanic, but doesn't just go to the options menu to disable it.

Sharpshooters suck in vanilla. Anything that isn't grenadier sucks in vanilla.

>gunslingers suck
>rangers suck

if you compare them to a grenadier, they do

The grenade meme has gone too far.

oh but young rookie, the grenade meme is no meme at all

the grenade is the source of xcom's strength
with no grenades, xcom is nothing

Bitch deployed, Commander.

every class sucks

So what's the word on the new DLC? Are we getting Ayys on our team now or something?

Carrying corpses is my favourite new cheat, with pickable Hunter Axe as a close second.

Also, how can I reduce memory leaking?

big cosmetic packs can do that

Apparently without their brain chips, the ADVENT can rebel.

>psiops exist
>Rapidfire ranger with shotgun
>gunslinger
>sectopod hack

Grenadiers are easy to reach full potential but saying everything else sucks is quite an exaggeration.

>mfw when the first one popped out and proceded to fuck my shit up majorly
fuck that god damn thing and whoever thought it was a good idea

>[insert remark about "shinobi" and how the name could be better]
:^)

>not nicknaming your shinobi "shinobi" to double trigger people

Fuck you market.

>not buying volture

>another hot weekend in the UK

help

Is the UK an ayy heat ray testing site?

It's only like 77 in London today...

Fuck nows

user I am heat intolerant and the only drink around is hot tea

you should see arizona its 115 right now

I just moved to Kelowna BC from Fort McMurray AB and it's fucking 36°C here EVERY SINGLE FUCKING DAY I CAN'T HANDLE THIS FUCKING HEAT HOW DO PEOPLE LIVE HERE

there is no reason it should be that hot at 2am

"It's a dry heat"

...

Why do people live there again?

well i live here for guns also the housing is really cheap

I'd rather live there than the Willamette Valley with my allergies. Fuck this place. Moving at the end of the month.

oh baby pollen town

>tfw living in san diego
The government is crazy, but the eternal mild summer is so nice

this hey at least some of our shitting gun legislation is finally get some push back

I'm moving to a small town called Aliso Viejo in Southern California at the end of the month. I love it there, despite the shit CA gun laws and high cost of living.

>americans

why is this allowed?

do you want to be a state?

isn't it like 5 AM in the US right now?

Freedom.

>the us only has 1 timezone

West coast it's only 2:17

It's 11 PM in Hawaii.

why is it that an american's response to anything is always "muh guns"?

makes sense

11:18 in Hawaii.

do you guys live in hawaii?

muh guns motha fucka

Freedom is why.

How else will I fight off the ayy invasion user?

I do.

literally every reply i get from americans whenever their condition is brought up is "freedom" accompanied by various pictures of guns

it's very amusing desu
