So mods don't seem to work on my game and I have no idea why. Like, I went into the workshop and enabled true retroactive AWC, it doesn't work. I enabled another mod that is supposed to add the second item slot back to the upper tier powered armors and that doesn't work. Even the enemy pod size increase mod seems to do nothing. I can't tell about the remove aim assist one but I'd guess not. Does enabling the console affect mods? I've subscribed and unsubscribed to them, and I was told there is supposed to be a mods folder but to all appearances there is no mods folder in either my install or anywhere else. Where do mods get stored after download? Any help?

If a gun has both a repeater and a stock, can it execute on a miss?

The heavy weapon is basically its second item. Pretty reasonable imo.

dyzzy posted:The heavy weapon is basically its second item. Pretty reasonable imo. Yeah but I want two items and the grapple, I'd give up the stupid run through walls bullshit to get it if I could. Considering skeleton suits and ghost armor in the previous game I thought that this made sense but apparently the developers thought differently. There are mods that do what I want, but none of them work =( The day 1 mods for leadership class or whatever doesn't work either. VVVVVV Yes I am. Launcher boxes ticked and everything. I've unsubscribed and resubscribed to get stuff but shouldn't it show up as a download when I do? Because so far as I can tell subscribing to mods doesn't download anything, at least not that I can tell through the steam downloads window.

It's significant. Flashbacks are amazing, the only downside is that cover blocks their effects so it has to be thrown behind the cover of enemies.

Okay, so I have dragon ammo on my overwatch specialist with a repeater, and the alien turn burn damage can also execute. Good stuff. The euphoria from this was immediately countered with a turn three gatekeeper activation from off screen plowing through the laptop I wanted to hack.

They're incredibly useful. I'd take one over a regular grenade on anyone but a grenadier. They're particularly amazing for fighting codexes (codices?), since it stops them from doing all that annoying poo poo they do.

I am quite a ways into my commander campaign, and I'm getting sick of being told that I don't have very many scientists, and that I should get some more. Practically every time I do anything in the Avenger I am notified of this fact, that we are low on scientists and need more, and if we have more stuff will get done faster! Too bad I have 100% of research done.

The shadow chamber needs at least 5 for some projects, so it's bitching about that. Unless you did those already too in which case lol.

EXO suits are still about as protective as t3 medium armor (i think you're down 1 net hp?) and rockets never stop being useful, so you can just keep using them until you have or alongside WAR suits

I had a hacker in my first game that could do that on Veteran, but when I tried to give my whole squad run and gun, instead of succeeding my hacker took successive feedback hits until she died. I'm talking 12+ HP in "feedback" for a successful hack.

When you hack control of an enemy turret/robot/whatever, is there a specific turn amount you control it for? Or is it random? I'm trying to figure out when I should start destroying these things before they turn back on me.

This is great, thank you! --- Is there a mod/trick to get all rookies with randomly colored/patterned equipment and "hi-level" props? I tried "Full Character Customization From Start" mod but it doesn't seem to generate rookies with those props (have to customize them manually).

Reposting this from a few pages ago, any modders in the know about a key binds file hidden somewhere I can change that?

Oh I do, I've seen the income one once but at 10% at the cost of loving the mission so I passed. The +20 hack one has never appeared. I've had bad luck with the geoscape rewards, continent bonuses (seriously who gives a poo poo about +50% supplies when selling to the black market) and hack bonuses so far. quote:When you hack control of an enemy turret/robot/whatever, is there a specific turn amount you control it for?

What would be of more use to a gunner grenadier? A scope and autoloader or an autoloader and expanded magazine. I already have an aim pcs on him, but even at major right now he doesn't have the best chances to hit things although I still get the holotargeting benefit. I'm wondering if a superior autoloader is enough to manage ammo. That plus a scope would probably give me very good aim, but with a magazine I would have more ammo for the 2-3 ammo per shot skills. Unfortunately I didn't get the third weapon upgrade bonus this run.

I would go for scope+expanded mag and aggressively seek good cover/high ground so that they can just reload+shoot on turns where the mag is low.

I'd go scope, advanced autoloaders were enough that I really didn't ever have to worry about my grenadiers' ammo until literally the endgame mission, even with the occasional use of stuff like hailstorm.
