shotgun yes, no autopsy yet so can't confirm on the perk. has rocket damage against units in cover been nerfed also? i keep doing like 3-4 damage.

Rocket baseline is 4-10. Remove up to 1 for cover and then damage fall-off from center of explosion. Depending on what damage perks the Rocketeer has then yes, 3-4 damage is easily possible.

Yeah the DR on a lot of the mechs is just obscene, especially when often you can't even hit them with chem grenades (looking at you cyberdisc).

Regular Cyberdicks and Mechtoids get up to 4-5 DR lategame, Seekers around 5-6 and then Sectopods weighing in at 8 DR. Most biological aliens cap around the 4-5 DR range.

It's a good reason to reduce rocket scatter in the .ini

Out of the box LW rocketeers suck too much poo poo for too long IMO. Highly variable rockets + ridiculously wide scatter is no bueno. Their damage is already low enough that you most often aren't 1 shotting anything (except sectoids or drones if you have the heat ammo perk)

Did that extractor guy move three times? Once to grab the downed ranger, then a dash?

I agree, but don't go over to the Fallout 4 thread with such positive opinions; it won't go well.

Picking up corpses might be a "free action" like meld cans.

Also the fragility of everything is something im okay with! Wonder if thats for the Demo.

Confirmed after the gameplay demo that doesn't actually happen in a real game. No Fire Emblem style rear end in a top hat reinforcements.
