    Anxiety decreases tremendously once you can load up with Aim+ stuff. My primary Sharpshooter has an aim stat of around 130 atm, paired up with Kill Zone she can basically wipe an entire enemy pack by herself.

    Also any of the abilities that can't really miss (Combat Protocol, Grenade/Rocket Launcher attacks)or have innately high hit chance (sword attacks).

    snipers are disgustingly op. nothing's as amazing as old ITZ but getting kill zone to proc on pack spread and then again on actual alien turn is STUPID LOL

    Sniping is nasty but they did a great job of making a need for every class. Ranger being able to stealth and Scout ahead, Grenadier for blowing down walls or the fantastic stuff you can pull with Gas/Acid/etc grenades, and especially both styles of Specialist (healing and combat/haywire utility)

    Don't mess up hacking one of the search towers with a specialist. The move and defense buff they get is crazy.

    how does the foundry stuff work? when you make all the experimental ammo/grenades etc. it's all random?

    Unless it states a specific item (like the armor stuff) yeah it's completely random. My game started in Asia which makes ammo/grenade/weapon upgrades instant, so I quickly dumped a shit ton of cores in to getting a full set of ammo and a variety of grenades for my Grenadier.

    just lost my best legendary/ironman run cause i forgot a full cover was there right next to a half cover i was using.

    also aliens somehow have amazing accuracy from bad elevation even though hit by flashbang.

    Btw for anyone who hasn't looked at mods, there's some great QoL stuff in the Workshop. Besides the stuff from the Long War guys (SMG, Leader, Muton Centurion) which feels like official DLC anyways, I've avoided anything that actual modifies gameplay.

    Free Camera Rotation - Self explanatory
    Stop Wasting My Time - removes alot of the unnecessary pauses between actions and slightly speeds up movement
    True retroactive AWC - The way bonus perks from the AWC work is fucking stupid, this fixes it. Easier to read the mod description then actually explain.

    Then some assorted mods that adds more tattoos, camo, helmet/hat options, and face paint/makeup.

    Speaking of the AWC, the bonus perks while random can be fucking amazing. My sharpshooter ended up with Rupture, which can be used after moving unlike normal sniper shots. So while on the move I have access to both Lightning Hands and Rupture, which is awesome when needing to re-position.

    i use stop wasting my time, show health values, no startup movies, evac all, strip primary weapons, and quiet bradford.

    stop wasting my time is a MUST have for anyone playing, imo. quiet bradford kills the stupid voiceover for the retaliation missions. too bad it doesn't work for more situations.



    also just lost another strong L/I run. i let my 2nd best sniper on a fire tile on an upper level cause i was hoping if he didn't move, he wouldn't catch fire. well not only did he catch fire, but he fell from the roof to the bottom floor. then he died to the burning. ended up needing him pretty badly on the following retaliation mission and that was that.

    Really? I have found things much easier than in the beginning of the game. Maybe I haven't hit the point in the game you are referring to yet.

    Side Note: I want to have virtual sex with my snipers, they are so damn good. Is that weird?

    Granted I've been doing my first playthrough on just Veteran, but I'm at the point where I don't even remotely need to think thru my tactics, I can bulldog my way thru 2 packs of enemies at the same time without even blinking.

    Shoutouts to Haywire Protocol, Domination, Capacitor Discharge, Serial, and Reaper. Oh and Blaster Launcher, cause that weapon is beyond retarded.

    yeah game has an inverse difficulty curve. same as previous one. i did find my c/i playthrough mostly routine toward the end, though the end can get hairy if you aren't careful
