Man I sort of can't wait for people to start modding in armor that utilizes the Torso Gear and Thighs slots that Reapers have, and probably Skirmishers and Templars have too.

Maybe, maybe not. I use it not because I find timers difficult but because I think it limts strategic freedom too much. At least early game is more diffcult than before but it doesn't really have much to do with timers.

>>187623338
Does this mean Rulers will just show up? Or is everything disabled

>>187623525
Capnbubs apparently already updated his stuff but is having trouble uploading it to the workshop. If you really can't wait the WOTC compatible accessories pack is on the Xcom 2 Nexus.

>>187623373

I had 2 people get nothing slashed by the assassin. After she did it the first time she went out of LoS and I couldn't find her, so she stealthed again and slashed another before I could hit her. All of my skilled soldiers besides Elena are tired or wounded now

>>187623605
Rulers are assigned to Alien Facilities as guards and won't appear until you raid it. Once the facility is destroyed, they'll start appearing in regular missions as normal.

>Streamers get raped on L&A + first reliatation

>No wounds on L&A despite a lot of 75+ % misses, easily dispatch the Assassin by moving super aggressively and predicting she'd move only about 6 tiles

The two civvies lost were one civvie on "pod approach" after two turns on the last two civvie pods, and one resistance soldier on the flank

Turns out Overwatch crawl got massively shafted again. The best way to play now is to be super agressive but still know your limits

Also includes Field Commander. Counterintuitive, but you need not engage any pod until you reach the Commander, he sits so far back you can easily back him and then backtrack through the level normally

I bet "bomb disposal" is the same thing. Since no nodes spawn close to the start it's logical to dash two turns to get as many nodes as possible

That shit is pretty hard to deal with desu

if you're having trouble with skirmishers try to keep in mind their range falloff is the same as a shotgun

>>187623389
I disabled mine, the only advantage is you get to buy the AH weapons for cheap like 20 supplies rather than research and then building them in the proving grounds.

>>187623461
Yep, also no Shen I think since I haven't gotten the Lost towers mission yet either.

On that one new mission type where you have to destroy the psyonic thing with a charge the bomb doesn't go off it just gives you a win screen and that kind of makes me mad.

i hope they don't update the game. MY DISK IS TOO FULL

Still desperate for attention and validation of your life?

God damn that felt good. Just had a mission for the Reapers, had to get a VIP out of a abandoned city with a horde of lost. Assassin comes in first turn after I move. Figure she won't make it to me in the first turn, so I move up. Grenider not doing anything the next turn, so I move him forward to scout for her and he reveals her behind him. Too bad it was a dash.

My three rangers had something to say though, slashes to the face and my sharpshooter making a good shot against her. She didn't die and smacked me in the face, but I got her on the next turn. Getting out was incredible. Lost Swarms every turn after you get to the VIP and they have an escort you can carry out too. My sniper was picking off lost left and right as we ran back. I am so glad I took that breakthrough for +1 damage for snipers.

I haven't played yet but I was hoping that covert actions gave you some catch up mechanics to stop the game from snowballing so easily if something went wrong. I'm glad its sounding like that.

Man the Lost should fight the ayys a bit more imo. Its stupid that in some maps I see ayys patrolling through the lost but the instant I come into view they both only focus on me

>>187633836

Having Squad Size 6 in Early April is a ridiculous snowball

Basically, Covert Actions is your version of Dark Events. I'd say getting the Cell up asap is not even a question, neither is staffing an Engineer here permanently to pump them through. You can use Covert Actions to get more Engineers so it's a total no-brainer to assign a permanent Engineer here

>>187633902

66 % to target visible XCOM, 33 % to target visible ADVENT. Unknown weight if multiple of same type, but I assume it's first roll to choose side, and then normal target selection roll for melee attack

If no XCOM is visible, target ADVENT exclusively. If you end up covert in a Lost + ADVENT sitrep you'll see it clearly

If there's one thing I've learned about Gatecrasher, it's that the specialist always gets shot. Sometimes he even survives it.

I really hope we get LWotC or similar.

The unfortunate thing is that Pavonis will likely have their head so far up their ass they won't update thte auxiliary mods. They never updated Perk Pack with the changes and additions from the LW2 versions for fuck sake.

>>187634552
That likely has more to do with dependencies than anything else.

Cosmetic mods work on a case by case basis. Some work just fine, others will be missing textures for some objects. Still technically usable though.
