Equipment (LW2)

In Long War 2, soldier equipment has been changed from vanilla:

• Every soldier starts with 3 utility slots.
• Each item equipped reduces Mobility by 1.
• Light and Heavy Armor have 1 less utility slot. Heavy Armor gets a Heavy Weapon slot instead.
• Starting items are unlimited and don't need to be purchased individually.
• Grenades do not have a limit per soldier, but they have a 1 turn cooldown after throwing one.
• Grenadiers have an extra slot for a grenade, that also reduces Mobility. They also do not have a cooldown for launching grenades.

Protective Gear

These items improve soldier's survivability through various means. Soldiers can only carry one Plating item and one Vest item at a time.

Plating

These items grant Ablative Health, which cannot be healed during a mission after being lost, but losing them does not count towards taking a wound and does not incur recovery time after the battle. A soldier can equip only one Plating at a time.

Grenades

Grenades can be carried by any class, but Grenadiers particularly excel with them: they can launch them with extended range and radius with their Grenade Launchers, they have an extra equipment slot that can only be used for a grenade, and they get perks to further increase their effectiveness.
