PantsBandit posted:Eh, I think they're appropriately rare given how amazing they are. I've got a perception one on my sniper and it's been a complete game changer. This is one of the things that I don't like about XCOM 2: ways to heavily customize a soldier (PCS, weapon modules, and especially +20 bonuses to hacking) that you then can't use while that soldier is recovering from wounds. I want my soldiers to be part of a mostly indistinguishable (except for class) swarm of fighters, not individual special snowflakes I have to wait on.

SeaTard posted:They are? Other than Jane from the tutorial, gently caress if I could tell you what the name of any of the guys in my game. I just know that my main squad is two rangers, two specialists, and then a grenadier/psi. Yeah, but you also have to remember which specialist got the +20 hacking rolls (they're the only one that can reliably take control of a mech / sectopod), which ranger has the mobility upgrade versus the aim upgrade, etc.

-Dethstryk- posted:On maintaining B/C teams, I do a stupid bit of roleplaying in my game where (if it's viable) I only have one of the whatever the highest rank in my soldier list on a mission. I pretend like my organization wouldn't send the top ranked people every time just to potentially get them all killed. I always bring the highest ranked (below Colonel) soldier of each class, plus either 2 squaddies (early) or 2 psi-ops (late). ...which is why I hate the new "put +coolstuff consumables on troops" mechanic.

Is there any way to get a soldier in sick bay to give up their fully customized weapon? There are make armor available and make items available buttons but no make weapons available button, which seems like an odd oversight.

Double Bill posted:Having Archon King show up in Avenger defense mission can gently caress off the hardest. I could not find a way to beat it, I always ended up fighting that bastard plus his two homies and about 9 other enemies all at once. Also the beacon was behind a wall so I couldn't snipe it from range either. After a dozen attempts I had to abandon my save and start over. Yeah, I'm not real thrilled with the Ruler DLC and I'll be disabling it for future playthroughs. Let me suggest you add the command line option -allowconsole and test out the "powerUp" cheat for that save file.

The Regicide achievement, for killing an alien ruler the first time you encounter it...does that one pretty much require a repeater to go off, or is there another approach I'm missing?

Zore posted:Also Stasis trivializes it, like almost everything else, it gives you a full turn to position your dudes in the exact locations you need to mess the Rulers up. But with Stasis, doesn't that just give you one more shot after the Ruler eventually unfreezes, or are you suggesting cast Stasis and then surround the Ruler with overwatches / Bladestorms?

Sapozhnik posted:Out of all the enemies in the game I get by far the most grief from loving Codexes. I can't afford to dedicate flashbangs for every Codex I run into and they soak practically the entire team's actions when they show up. Of course they would be pretty trivial if you could oneshot them, which is why they always have enough HP that this isn't an option. Plasma plus blue screen rounds can one shot them iirc, as can some good crits.

No rulers, no problem. fake edit: for your current game you are of course hosed.
