Yep. Lightning Reflexes is only available as a random AWC skill. I just got it on one of my grenadiers which is actually pretty nice. If there is just one enemy with overwatch up, moving to a better position to force them to waste it can be a very good use of an action.

Internet Kraken posted:Xcom 2 multiplayer sure as hell isn't polished though. I bet any bug that exists in the campaign exists here as well, on top of some ones exclusive to it. Basic stuff like the turn timer seems to glitch out on a regular basis. The game also seems to handle two players being in control poorly; sometimes it gives me vision of enemy units when I definitely should not have it. I tried it with a friend. It did not 'work' for all the 3 tries we did, with multiple positioning bugs, turns taking ages to pass, etc. So we decided to level a map with 5 sectopods and a gatekeeper. The game crashed midway

Perestroika posted:They also have a pretty nasty melee attack that heals them for the damage done. Only reason I managed to get the first one I went up against down in time was because my sniper decided to crit for some 20 damage when the armour was up. The Gateway attack where they raise all the zombies does 7 damage in a huge area, and then they have a crazy powerful laser beam that does like 13 damage even before crits.

The last time a gatekeeper used that ability for me it shot it at it's own team, killing off a chryssalid and an andromedon, leaving me very confused. I didn't even know what happened until I eventually took control of one.

Had to google it, it's the Muton autopsy. Which also unlocks Plasma Grenades, so, uh, that's a priority research right there I guess.Fangz posted:MEC autopsy.

Advanced Grenade Launcher is a proving grounds project that comes from mutons, along with plasma grenades.

So, this is reddit of course, but: https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/44qkn9/xcom_2_tech_tree_wip_possible_spoilers/ Apparently, the Faceless autopsy can be completed instantly once you have 3 corpses around, which unlocks Mimic Beacons. A Mimic Beacon costs 2. Meaning the autopsy is useless until you can complete it instantly. Edit: Never mind, I somehow managed to overlook the obvious link to newer information, it's 4+ corpses for instant autopsy if you aren't playing on easy. https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/452s9b/updated_xcom_2_tech_tree_v4_spoilers/

PirateBob posted:Are there "bad" abilities to be avoided in this game? Or any must have picks, for any class. There are very few bad abilities this time. Blademaster Rangers drop off in the lategame, but you can respec soldiers in this, so it's not a huge deal, and some people love them anyway. Some abilities seem kind of crappy given the way I play, like the one that gives a Sharpshooter an aim bonus on their next shot after they hunker down (I almost never hunker down), but some players could still get use out of those, and if you get an Advanced Warfare Center "hidden skill" that automatically hunkers you down if you don't shoot, it suddenly becomes awesome. Basically, take abilities that sound useful for how you want to use the soldier and you honestly can't go wrong.
