I think it would be possibly a good idea to give a sword natural armor piercing, to help it out in the late game.

So I found out enemy grenades you set off with Fuse can miss the enemy they're attached to. I'm still trying to figure out how that exactly works.

Does the workshop effect apply to the rooms above and below the workshop too?

But Tygan misses those sweet, sweet ADVENT burgers with meat that is almost certainly not from a human.

How exactly does the character pool work? Just about every time someone I've created shows up, there's 1 or 2 things changed from how I actually created them. Also, it seems you can get multiple instances of the same character. Had one guy in my initial starting barracks, but he was also available to recruit. Kinda annoying.

CrusherEAGLE posted:Anyone use the steam controller? Any good? I had a big fat temper tantrum about the 360 controller not being compatible, and had to settle for the steam one. It's all right. There's no waypoints, which sucks, but I'm sure someone will mod that into the configuration eventually. The most annoying things are that sometimes, maybe 5% of the time, the precision goes wonky so you hit the wrong grid square for movement or (weirdly) when you fire/lob grenades, you don't get a chance to aim them and they just go wherever. So maybe wait for a patch before Iron Manning it. Anyway, I like it fine. Edit: Also, I am not skilled with software in any way, shape, or form, but the basic configuration that comes with the game doesn't seem to be modded easily? Like I tried switching a few things around, and it just made my controller go insane, pushing the cursor to every limit of the screen. But, people are changing the default configuration, so it's clearly possible. Captain Magic fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Feb 8, 2016 |

Hey, I'm working on getting the modder working, but meanwhile: Is there going to be a way for a given class to get all its abilities every level? I want super soldiers against max difficulty jerks. So, grab every skill on the skill tree as you level up.

I got my power coils in the center of my Avenger. Decisions.... I guess I'll have to build more workshops instead and way far away from the corner that I started my GTS in. Is there a power bonus at least if you staff a gremlin at a Power Relay?

LordNat posted:Replace the Pistols with 2 Revolvers, each one can have 1 Mod. They have a special Ammo slot (like the Grenadiers slot) and have the ability to have 2 ammo equipped. Main down side is they have to manage the ammo on both guns (6 shots each), one of their perk levels is the Option of a free Auto Loader on each gun or have the Reload option reload both at once. I actually mentioned this to Coolguye: we should have a class that is dual pistols.

Hacking doesn't give you all 3 things. It gives you one thing. The left side is the 'bad stuff', the middle and right are 'pick the best one of these two and roll the die'.

I finally got concealed overwatches to both fire and actually hit and it's a very good and smug feeling. Also I finally got some of my custom weapons back. I have the cannons "Answer" and "Retaliator" (  ) and Invective, Red Death, and I forget the other.Customization is good.

I have a question. I got a specialist. I gave him a medkit, and medical protocol. Gremlin now has 2 heal charges. I then took field medic expecting the # of charges to increase. Gremlin STILL only has 2 heal charges. Except at the same time I cannot seem to use my actual medkit when next to a person, so it seems like field medic + Medical protocol is bad/broken and should not ever be used, is this correct or has anyone else encountered this or what

Those are not glitches, they are just flickers of the real Xcom trying to break you out of the simulation.

So I noticed the XCOM wiki is claiming that PCS Will boosts increase the damage on certain Psi Amp abilities. Can anyone who's rooted through the files substantiate this?Met posted:What's the joke here? Just the autopsying? It's mostly just a fan meme that took on a life of it's own.

I cheated too much and the game is now hilariously easy. Rolling into blacksites with full on alien armor, psyops and plasma weapons and walking over aliens to victory.

Well, second to last mission, but the last mission comes immediately after that one and there is no room for research or building. Also of some value on that mission: stock up on Intel. RBA Starblade posted:I didn't hit my buddy, I hit nothing, which is just as bad. Sometimes if you don't have the ability to heal poison damage and you suspect they won't make it until the end of the mission it's a better idea to just call in the evac nearby and stuff them in so things won't get worse, then finish up the mission with whoever you have left.

I lost my first soldier to poison because I forgot that a. it hung around in a cloud since it had a much subtler graphic effect this time around and b. it restricted move distance, so I used the last medkit I had to patch up the poisoned solider, immediately had her move out of the cloud to get poisoned again, and then the timer ran out 2 tiles from the evac zone.

My gremlinman, grenadier, and sniper remained. The sniper pulled the last pack from outside vision range (?) with his handcannon (??) and hit and nailed a guy, the other overwatches hit, the stun lancer missed.  Pistols are loving amazing. quote:Na they will reveal you are really a Ethereal who has been prepping for the invasion and Xcom 3 is us attacking earth and fighting Xcom. XCOM3: XCOM: The Bureau 2
