with the extra stuff you have to do now (like resistance ring) it gets pushed back
a lot of people here say psionics is OP but in my experience it gets up to speed just when the tide is turning anyway
it just becomes another way to fuck the aliens in the lategame

as the fuck if
Joseph Turner
Don't make Europe worse, it's almost at the point of no return
Owen Campbell
It's difficult.
Making them crit % boosters is redundant with laser sights, crit dmg boosters are impossible to balance, etc. XCOM2 just doesn't have many weapon stats to work with. Range is an option but it's only a factor for a few weapons (eg snipers, shotguns).
The best choice is probably what the LW team did: revert them to what their assets were originally intended for (suppressors).
Brayden Harris

I think that's the first time that repeater has gone off all game, I forgot it was even there
You don't fix them. You remove them from the game.
Aiden Lee
Does anyone know if shard gloves can be adapted to the secondary slot? I’m trying to make a class mod that mimics the destiny classes and being able to use the right equipment to get the abilities and perks I’d need. Same goes for a spark bit and sparks kinetic strike.
Joshua Lee
Don't be such an entitled prick
William Baker
Seems like general consensus. Also, does anyone else have weird fps drops in Hong Kong? tfw couldn't bang Ku Feng. Or Eiger. I want to climb that mountain
Hudson Hughes
I prefer HK myself, but they're both good.
Isaiah Cook
Why does the game hang if a concealed soldier is revealed on the enemy turn?
Elijah Morales
The most common hang I get is the Overwatch slo-mo cam never ending It's funny because according to the SDK this was apparently a bigger problem in EU's code
Brody Howard
So I am still learning the dos and don'ts. If I understand correctly then
Full cover (Everything) > Half cover and Hunker > Half cover and fire 60%+ chance > Half Cover and Overwatch?
For sake of simplicty let's assume that you take cover in a way you can't be flanked in the next step.
Evan King
>Full cover (Everything) Everything else but this was wrong
Jonathan Russell
Damn, that part was the only one I was sure of
Landon James
You might want to break up Full cover between full cover and full cover that can be destroyed in one hit
Easton Jones
>two new rogue Viper factions come out >Faction 1 is Viper King II >Faction 2 is liberated Viper faction >Viper King will give you Frost Items as well as general Viper units for the Commander's personal use >Liberated Viper will give you stronger, specialized Viper units and increased intel on ADVENT facility locations as well as her adoration of the commander with fade to black cutscenes You can only side with one /xcg/ which one do you choose?

Rate these changes in X2/WotC as good or bad >Overwatch breaking on damage >Reload costs a single action and does not end the turn >Regular troops no longer panic
Evan Harris
Holy fire.
Leo Taylor
>Overwatch breaking on damage Good.
>Reload costs a single action and does not end the turn It's fine.
>Regular troops no longer panic But they do?
Jose Perez
Bradford and i remove the snakes.
Joseph Kelly
Regular as in fresh troops deployed on a mission. Troops will only randomly panic like in previous games if they're Tired or Shattered.
Scope Will give your first shot this turn +X Aim and/or +Y Crit (X > Y), but only if you have not moved. Will not work on overwatch shots. Or Will give you +X Aim and/or +Y Crit (X > Y) against targets further than X/X-1/X-2 tiles from you, benefits are x1.5 against targets that are flanked or not in cover. Will not work on overwatch shots.
Laser Sight Will give your shots against targets within X/X+1/X+2 of you +X Aim and/or +Y Crit, (Y > X), benefits are x1.5 against targets that are flanked or not in cover. Will not work on overwatch shots.
Auto-loader Automatically reloads for free when your magazine is emptied 1/2/3 times per mission.
Hair Trigger Grants +X aim on reaction shots and/or -Y to enemy dodge. Or Upon killing an enemy, automatically take a shot against a random enemy X/X+1/X+2 tiles from from the enemy killed.
Repeater Renamed to Silencer, grants +X Crit and/or +Y aim to shots done from concealment against unengaged enemies. Will provide benefits during Overwatch Ambush. Or Renamed to Silencer, shots against enemies over X tiles away have Y% chance to not break concealment, Shots done from within X tiles have Z% chance to not break concealment (Z
Jaxson Russell
Good Very good, One of my major gripes in X1 Last time I checked troops can still panic if they take damage
Luis Miller
How about the stock?
Brandon Hall
>Automatically reloads No, I don't want to waste a free reload if I don't have to. A choice between using the free reload and using the auto reload is much better
Evan Perez
>Extended Barrel gives +X Damage, but reduces Aim by Y.
Jack Ross
There's a mod for that.
Thomas Carter
and thank fuck it exists
Cooper Sanders
>Things ain't like what they used to be.
Remove snek All those are good but my troops still panic so I'm not sure about that last one there. I think scope should work on overwatch but do agree about the distance bonuses. I do wish autoloader was a bit more obvious or forced the issue during missions because I always end up wasting it by not paying attention to it being a free reload.
I don't want repeater to change because nothing is more satisfying than seeing an avatar or an alien boss die immediately.
Hunter Perez
>Regular troops no longer panic Sectiods and troops can panic if the damage they take pushes them past certain will checks.
Hudson Watson
I much prefer what we have now than troops taking 1 damage and panicking. It makes more sense (and it's more immersive) that they would start to panic after their willpower has been lowered to a certain amount
Jose Rivera
Oh shit yeah.
Stock Will give your first shot this turn +X Aim and/or +Y Crit (X > Y), but only if you have not moved. Gives half the benefits on overwatch shots. Or Now come in 3 varieties metal, plastic, wood. no other effects. Or Renamed to Weapon Body Kit, changes your weapons texture to resembe rugged, plastic, wooden. Looks stylish, enemies will shoot you last, no other effects. Or Removed entirely.
Only if you fully empty your mag fully, otherwise you can just normally reload. I just went by the idea that does not exactly do what that one mod does and that they actually have some sort of activated/situational function instead of just being raw free reloads whenever you choose.
Just went by the idea that longer barrel lengths increase muzzle velocity with optimally loaded cartridges but in turn may cause more deviation as the barrel shakes during shots.
Kayden Adams
Fair enough, works with the whole "auto" part as well
Connor Scott
Longer barrel will mean more rifling, which would mean more accurancy.
David Sanchez
I think rifling more benefits the bullets trajectory, but the negative aim in here comes from the fact that longer barrels magnify the error in the aim of the shooter themselves.
Aaah fuck me, m8. Just had come up with something to justify that abort of a weapon mod that satiates the desing & actually does something.
Aiden Howard
Bellator in machina mod for Xcom 2 fucking WHEN?
Noah Rodriguez
LW2 made the stock grant the soldier the Steady Weapon ability, which gave a bonus to aim and crit chance on the next turn. It was not very useful for most situations, but sometimes nice on snipers.
Does difficulty affect leveling speed at all? It might just be luck somehow, but I'm playing commander right now and it seems by team is underleveled compared to what they used to be in my old run.
Logan Richardson
Experience gain is slower the higher difficulty you go. On Legend it can take your troops four or five missions to gain a single level.
Cameron Nelson
...
Carson Russell
To satisfy the quadruple amputee fetishists >muh humans Jake was right, people really can't be immersed if their character is not human
Lucas Wilson
Going off this it might actually be part luck, because it seems between veteran and commander only kicks in at higher levels and as of now I only have a few people at captin.
Dylan Baker
Is the Chosen summoning ability single-use? I only ever see them summon once per engagement (outside of their strongholds) even if it takes many turns to defeat them.
From my experience they only use it when they are the last unit alive on the map and only do it once. The warlock likes to teleport his summons into flanking positions
Mason Ramirez
It's either on a long cooldown or it's single use only
David Williams
Mecs are just way better than sparks.
You can't deny that.
Adrian Gonzalez
Mecs are cooler than Sparks but I prefer what a spark can do over what a Mec can do
Isaiah Robinson
Is this some unofficial ranking or an in game division? Also as a more general question, is it possible to get a contingency bonus that mimics a resistance order? Is one or the other just wasted in that case?
Brandon Nelson
In game based on influence. T1 are all possible starting bonuses for example and No you can't get overlapping continent and faction bonuses.
Michael Gray
How exactly does that work? I thought you could eventually get every order through covert ops, is this not the case?
Connor Reed
>HAH HAH WARLOCK SUCH SHIT >mind control >soldier eats an overwatch >kills another soldier with a grenade
such fun and interactive game design
Gabriel Garcia
My issue with Overwatch breaking on damage in that in theory it's a universal nerf, but in practice it's a big nerf to the aliens because you will be breaking their Overwatch significantly more than they break your's. As soon as you get a stock alien Overwatch is basically a wasted move on their end.
Anthony Foster
When you upgrade influence you get a free resistance bonus from the next tier up and the rest become unlockable via covert actions
Charles Lee
1) You get 2 bonuses on tier 1 when you meet a faction, The rest of Tier 1 becomes unlockable via covert actions 2) You get 1 tier 2 when you upgrade influence to medium and the rest of tier 2 become unlockable via Covert actions 3) You get 1 tier 3 when you upgrade influence to High and the rest of Tier 3 become unlockable via covert actions
The obvious exclusions to this are orders that have been removed from the pool and applied as continent bonuses
Parker Fisher
Should change it to have a 3-4 turn cooldown then.
Wyatt Perez
Ooooh, so it marks all the overlapping orders as unusable when it generates the continent bonuses. Okay that's pretty smart, I wouldn't have thought of that.
Wyatt Brown
So.... is a soldier being tired, actually worse than being injured?
>Light injury 3 Days in med bay, no fatigue after, you can speed it up with templar scanning
>Tired 10 or more days of being a panic landmine, nothing you can do to speed up the process
Jose Watson
Yes but if you get tired and injured you have to wait even longer as days don't overlap
Kayden Myers
The duration is randomized. I've seen Tired soldiers come out of it in a day some times.
Isaac Reed
That happens when soldiers are on the threshold of tired and ready for action and is the ideal amount you aim for as it basically instantly restores all willpower
Austin Brown
WOTC does a decent job of forcing you to adapt to the chosen by doing more than "Guaranteed damage and lethality are the only way to go" pay attention to who's territory you are fucking around in.
For Assassin, you better bring a Medic Specialist, and maybe a second Specialist with Scanning and another Medpac for good measure. Or some scanning beacons
Same for the Hunter pretty much, but packing a few smoke bombs is actually pretty good against him. Bring some shadowstep Rangers to slip past his overwatches and grenadiers to drop his high cover ass
Warlock, I never bought mind-shield before the warlock. Buy some fucking mind shields. In my legendary route I have avoided him as much as possible until I got a Solace PsiOp. Frost bombs are good for freezes your comrade without hurting them or out right shutting mind control off.
Templars fuck up any of the chosen pretty good unless the get melee invincibility perk.
Sebastian Stewart
>people really can't be immersed if their character is not human
