XCOM V5: Grazed shots still count as hits

I'd say he is a sci-op. Get it?

I'll evac myself out

[QUOTE=E3245;50635923]I updated my [URL="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1v8jU86Jeqn9wms4Pxjj7f5tHPlmli6TSogrbWvc5vUA/edit#bookmark=id.4y6q0l9xlq2r"]voicepack tutorial[/URL] for anyone wanting voicepacks to work with SPARKs. I don't have my Reddit account password with me and I won't return until Tuesday, so I would appreciate it if you guys let them know too.

It's on Step 17b (on Page 17) if it doesn't go to the correct page.[/QUOTE]

Great! Because I already a guy ask for Spark until Moonbase Alpha voicelines

Well he'd be a scientist, which isn't too much of a far cry from an alchemist, and every game that has an alchemist type person they tend to use mixtures that are tantamount to grenades.

Ergo, grenadier with more than two types of grenades and a unique backup weapon.

Heck I can imagine him having lots of grenades but a weak backup gun like a single pistol (with very few pistol skills) so his primary method of combat is area denial via fire/acid/poison and shit like that.

Perhaps something that can locally mess with ADVENT trooper implants for added fun.

Just fought a Codex. Was rather neat

[RocketRacer]

oh for the love of
Now my X2SDK refuses to open XCOM2 Editor, the Unreal Editor one. Why the fuck? It runs the splash screen, goes through some checks, and then vanishes. All paths are setup correctly. goddamnit

[E Quantifier]

I thought the SLG mission was a bit corny. But now that I have my spark unit on excited to start using it. Afraid of Alien Hunters though.

[LordMoldyButt]

I started AH randomly. That fucking viper is annoying

I fucking hate that viper

"Oh what's that? you moved twice? How about I constrict your shit? Moved someone else to shoot him off me? three damage for free! fuck you! You miss, he dies!"

[LordMoldyButt]

Don't forget the unconscious shit after wrap.

I'm actually dealing with 3 unconscious people right now. It's a bitch.

Use the crossbow. That stun chance is amazing

[A B.A. Survivor]

The balance of the rulers would be less frububbled if they didn't appear on timed missions and have instant KO moves that affect half your squad.

[LordMoldyButt]

I lost 3 of my best people from the unconscious bullshit. Rather annoying you can't remove that.

[E3245]

I wish there was a mod that makes unconscious units wake up after a number of turns, like in UFO Defense/TFTD.

[LordMoldyButt]

Yeah. I lost 10 missions in a row just because of unconscious.

[That Deer]

[QUOTE=mralexs;50639786]Use the crossbow. That stun chance is amazing[/QUOTE]

Amazingly inconsistent, in my case. Out of around 6 shots on Rulers, I got 1 Stun. One time it Stunned on Overwatch, but I guess the game didn't care, because as soon as I moved, the Ruler got its reaction just fine.

edit:

Also, DO NOT reload the game after you get to the [sp]Poison Gas Room sections[/sp] of Shen's Last Gift mission. Found this out the hard way when [sp]Shen got ventilated in full cover from the 4 bullshit turrets that spawn when you touch the fart-release valve[/sp] and had to load. For whatever reason, taking any action afterwards causes a long freeze, followed by actions outside of moving not being carried out. Occasionally, your ears will be assaulted by robot-sex sounds and all the [sp]Derelict MECs' ragdolls just flailing around the room[/sp]. I guess I'll just not play XCOM 2 for a while again, because that mission is an ass pain with only 4 troops and Lily. At least I got to move [sp]SPARK[/sp] a couple of times and shoot before it all went to shit.

I still have nightmares about stun lancers 1 hit unconscious'ing my full hp exo troopers, shits beyond infuriating

[E Quantifier]

Good god Rulers are the most unbalanced shit I've ever experienced and that's just off my first encounter. I might actually play without them in the future I dislike it that much already.

Does anyone have a list of the big changes since release? I literally haven't had a serious playthrough since launch. The game feels different (outside DLC additions) but I can't figure out what yet.

I spend way too much time in the character editor.

Would it be possible to mod unconscious so that it only lasts for x amount of turns? If so that would be amazing

[WJS]

Muhahahahahaha, fuck you alien

Not sure bout those odd's, better rapid fire just in case.

[thisguy123]

So it was late night, and I decided to do "one last mission" before bedtime. Heck, if I finish this mission I'll have SPARK units to look forward to tomorrow! How hard can it be?

[I]two hours later...[/I]

I went in there inside of my first month with BALLISTIC weapons and basic armour. Everyone at the end was gravely wounded except the sniper who was unscathed (cheeky Netherlander bastard he was)

Everyone also got promoted, and well fucking earned too.

[death2sarge]

So has someone thought of making a Elite (sangheili) model for a squad member? I've seen Mass Effect characters and the Predator so surely it can be done.

[ChristopherB]

I've made a 3d-printable model of the Skyranger:

Yeah, can't say mine went any better. Having good ole' [sp]Jules[/sp] line up [B]3[/B] shots on [sp]SPARK-001[/sp] on the third turn put me into major panic mode. Didn't help with all the enemies spawning. At least only one person ate the big one. Also, the game REALLY needs to track how Stuns work better, cause the first turn, I managed to shoot [sp]Secto-Julian[/sp] with a Bolter shot and stunned it for 2 turns, but got up after one, [sp]Go-Go Gadget Legs'd up[/sp] and strolled over to shoot my Assault right in his face.

Stun is actions lost, freeze is turns lost, most units get 2 actions per turn but some are bullshit.

[LordMoldyButt]

I just one shot a Beserker.

I will say this, in spite of all the cheese (and a little risky savescumming) killing the [SP]Julian Sectopod[/sp] with ballistic gund was incredibly satisfying.

Protip for anyone doing this mission, it's wise to hold off for bluescreen rounds.
