[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Plasma Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): 7 damage mayhem suppression
*Plasma Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-

|-
|Battle Rifles and Rocket Launchers || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have very high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Shotguns===
Shotguns have limited range but high damage. Their low base crit chances are offset by proximity/flanking bonuses. Shotguns deal 50% less damage against [[Abilities List (LWR)#Hardened|Hardened]] targets. Their base ammo is 4, and their base damage is 150%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower from Long War and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further. The Elerium Batteries foundry project grants an extra charge/ammo to both weapons and the Supercapacitor foundry project increases the Arc Rifle's damage against mechanical units by 3.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

Sidearms all grants the Maim ability.
Maim: Fire 2 shots at -20 aim that deal 1 damage each. Any hits against a target with 1 HP will Maim the target instead of dealing damage, preventing the target from acting on it's next turn.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns''.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 60% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.

Weapons (LWR)

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Plasma Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): 7 damage mayhem suppression
*Plasma Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%

|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have very high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Shotguns===
Shotguns have limited range but high damage. Their low base crit chances are offset by proximity/flanking bonuses. Shotguns deal 50% less damage against [[Abilities List (LWR)#Hardened|Hardened]] targets. Their base ammo is 4, and their base damage is 150%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower from Long War and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further. The Elerium Batteries foundry project grants an extra charge/ammo to both weapons and the Supercapacitor foundry project increases the Arc Rifle's damage against mechanical units by 3.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

Sidearms all grants the Maim ability.
Maim: Fire 2 shots at -20 aim that deal 1 damage each. Any hits against a target with 1 HP will Maim the target instead of dealing damage, preventing the target from acting on it's next turn.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns''.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 60% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.

Weapons (LWR)

2020-08-13T15:18:39Z

Cjriches: /* Pistols */ added High Capacity Pistols info

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Plasma Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): 7 damage mayhem suppression
*Plasma Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-

|-
|Battle Rifles and Rocket Launchers || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have very high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Shotguns===
Shotguns have limited range but high damage. Their low base crit chances are offset by proximity/flanking bonuses. Shotguns deal 50% less damage against [[Abilities List (LWR)#Hardened|Hardened]] targets. Their base ammo is 4, and their base damage is 150%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower from Long War and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further. The Elerium Batteries foundry project grants an extra charge/ammo to both weapons and the Supercapacitor foundry project increases the Arc Rifle's damage against mechanical units by 3.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

Sidearms all grants the Maim ability.
Maim: Fire 2 shots at -20 aim that deal 1 damage each. Any hits against a target with 1 HP will Maim the target instead of dealing damage, preventing the target from acting on it's next turn.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns''.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 60% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.

Weapons (LWR)

2020-08-13T15:15:07Z

Cjriches: /* LMGs */ fixed crit chances

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Plasma Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): 7 damage mayhem suppression
*Plasma Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles and Rocket Launchers || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have very high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Shotguns===
Shotguns have limited range but high damage. Their low base crit chances are offset by proximity/flanking bonuses. Shotguns deal 50% less damage against [[Abilities List (LWR)#Hardened|Hardened]] targets. Their base ammo is 4, and their base damage is 150%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower from Long War and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further. The Elerium Batteries foundry project grants an extra charge/ammo to both weapons and the Supercapacitor foundry project increases the Arc Rifle's damage against mechanical units by 3.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

Sidearms all grants the Maim ability.
Maim: Fire 2 shots at -20 aim that deal 1 damage each. Any hits against a target with 1 HP will Maim the target instead of dealing damage, preventing the target from acting on it's next turn.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns''.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 60% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.

Weapons (LWR)

2020-08-13T15:12:05Z

Cjriches: /* Battle Rifles */ fixed crit chances

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Plasma Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): 7 damage mayhem suppression
*Plasma Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles and Rocket Launchers || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have very high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower from Long War and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further. The Elerium Batteries foundry project grants an extra charge/ammo to both weapons and the Supercapacitor foundry project increases the Arc Rifle's damage against mechanical units by 3.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

Sidearms all grants the Maim ability.
Maim: Fire 2 shots at -20 aim that deal 1 damage each. Any hits against a target with 1 HP will Maim the target instead of dealing damage, preventing the target from acting on it's next turn.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns''.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 60% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

Weapons (LWR)

2020-08-13T15:08:56Z

Cjriches: /* Carbines */ fixed crit chances

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Plasma Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): 7 damage mayhem suppression
*Plasma Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles and Rocket Launchers || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have very high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower from Long War and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further. The Elerium Batteries foundry project grants an extra charge/ammo to both weapons and the Supercapacitor foundry project increases the Arc Rifle's damage against mechanical units by 3.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

Sidearms all grants the Maim ability.
Maim: Fire 2 shots at -20 aim that deal 1 damage each. Any hits against a target with 1 HP will Maim the target instead of dealing damage, preventing the target from acting on it's next turn.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns''.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 60% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

Weapons (LWR)

2020-08-13T15:07:41Z

Cjriches: /* SMGs */ fixed critical chance

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Plasma Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): 7 damage mayhem suppression
*Plasma Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles and Rocket Launchers || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have very high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower from Long War and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further. The Elerium Batteries foundry project grants an extra charge/ammo to both weapons and the Supercapacitor foundry project increases the Arc Rifle's damage against mechanical units by 3.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

Sidearms all grants the Maim ability.
Maim: Fire 2 shots at -20 aim that deal 1 damage each. Any hits against a target with 1 HP will Maim the target instead of dealing damage, preventing the target from acting on it's next turn.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns''.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 60% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.

The '''Research Lab''' houses the research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen.

Options:

*'''Start New Research Project'''.
*'''Change Research Project'''. If necessary, this can be done at any time. The progress achieved in the current project won't be lost.
*'''Access Research Archives'''. Here you can see information about projects that have already been completed.
*'''Review Research Credits'''. View the research credits gained from completed interrogations.
*'''Visit the Gene Lab'''. This option becomes available after the construction of a Genetics Lab. A maximum of three soldiers can be sent to genetic modification. See [[Genetics Lab (Long War)]].

==New in Long War==
While research in Long War works similar to how it works in Vanilla, there are some notable changes:
* New research projects have been added, expanding the research tree.
* The time required to research a project has been increased.
* Autopsies now require and consume more than one corpse. For example, Sectoid Autopsy requires and consumes 10 Sectoid Corpses.
* Autopsies now require other research projects before they can be started. For example, Xenobiology is required to perform Sectoid Autopsy.
* Interrogations now require the autopsy project for the same species. For example, Sectoid Autopsy is required to perform Sectoid Interrogation.
* Most Psi Powers now require specific research projects before they can be learned. For example, Sectoid Interrogation is required to learn Mind Fray.
* Aliens now have various perks. Autopsies are required to inspect aliens of the same species and see their perks. For example, once Sectoid Autopsy has been performed, players can target a Sectoid, and press F1 to inspect them.
* UFOs that have been successfully assaulted can now be analyzed, providing your ships with a damage bonus against these UFOs.
* All Council requests except Satellites now require specific research projects to be completed. For example, council members will not request Sectoid Corpses before Xenobiology has been researched.
* South America's continent bonus no longer makes autopsies and interrogations instantaneous. It instead affects the cost to build and maintain power generators.

==Research Speed==
The duration listed for all research projects is the duration for 30 scientists with no [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], adjacency bonus or research credits.
* Having less than 30 scientists increases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 15 scientists, the actual duration is double that of the listed value.
* Having more than 30 scientists decreases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 60 scientists, the actual duration is half that of the listed value.
* Each [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] additively increases the effectiveness of your scientists by 20%.
* Each adjacency links between [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] additively increases the effectiveness of your scientists by 10%.
* Interrogations provide research credits, which lower the research time of all research projects and foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%.
* Expertise (Brazil's starting bonus) increases research credit bonuses by 15% (multiplicatively) for a total of 36% research time reduction.
* FORMULA: finalTime = baseTime * (30 / (scientists * labBonus)) * creditBonus * brazilExpertiseBonus, with creditBonus = 0.75, brazilExpertiseBonus = 0.85

==Analysis Projects==
Analysis projects allow players to study aliens and their UFOs. These studies are generally shorter than technology projects, and do not cost any resources, except the corpses required for the autopsy or the captive required for the interrogation. Note that the duration to analyze more powerful aliens increases much more than in Vanilla.

Items in the "Unlocks" columns that are listed in italic and gray require multiple research projects, or require both a research project and a Foundry project. They are only unlocked when all research projects are completed, or when both the research project and the foundry project have been completed.
* Exception: Alien Operations only require a single interrogation in addition to Xenopsionics.

===Alien Autopsies===
Alien corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed. Note that autopsies require and consume multiple corpses, as listed below.

In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to inspect aliens on the battlefield and see their perks by targeting them and pressing F1, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===Alien Interrogations===
Alien captives that have been captured with a [[Weapons (LWR)#Arc and Stun Rifles|Stun Rifle]] and housed in the Alien Containment can be interrogated once the autopsy project for that species has been completed.

All interrogations unlock research credits, which increase the research speed of all future research and Foundry projects that match the credit type by 50%. Some interrogations also unlock gene mods, or other vital technologies. Overall, interrogations are much more essential than in Long War 1.0.

===UFO Analysis===
Once a UFO has crashed or landed and then is successfully assaulted, it can be analyzed as a research project. Once the research project has completed, ships gain 10% damage bonus against all UFOs of the same type.
Also, once ''UFO Scanners'' Foundry project is completed, analyzed UFO's display damage during [[Air Combat (Long War)|Air Combat]].

All UFO Analysis have the Aerospace credit type. Once a Floater has been interrogated, the speed at which UFOs are analyzed increases by 25%.

==Technology Projects==
Technology projects allow players to study alien materials and develop new technology. These studies are generally longer than analysis projects, and usually cost a combination of Alien Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments, Meld and captured devices.

Most technology projects have a credit type. Once the research credits of this type have been acquired through an interrogation, the research speed for these technology projects increases by 25%.

===Xenology===
These research projects study the aliens in a more general approach than specific autopsies and interrogations, unlocking Psionic Powers, Genetic Modifications and Cybernetic Augmentations.

Most of these research projects are required for the various Autopsy projects, as well as Stealth Systems, Mind and Machine and Plasma Weapons. These research projects also advance the storyline.

The '''Research Lab''' houses the research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen.

Options:

*'''Start New Research Project'''.
*'''Change Research Project'''. If necessary, this can be done at any time. The progress achieved in the current project won't be lost.
*'''Access Research Archives'''. Here you can see information about projects that have already been completed.
*'''Review Research Credits'''. View the research credits gained from completed interrogations.
*'''Visit the Gene Lab'''. This option becomes available after the construction of a Genetics Lab. A maximum of three soldiers can be sent to genetic modification. See [[Genetics Lab (Long War)]].

==New in Long War==
While research in Long War works similar to how it works in Vanilla, there are some notable changes:
* New research projects have been added, expanding the research tree.
* The time required to research a project has been increased.
* Autopsies now require and consume more than one corpse. For example, Sectoid Autopsy requires and consumes 10 Sectoid Corpses.
* Autopsies now require other research projects before they can be started. For example, Xenobiology is required to perform Sectoid Autopsy.
* Interrogations now require the autopsy project for the same species. For example, Sectoid Autopsy is required to perform Sectoid Interrogation.
* Most Psi Powers now require specific research projects before they can be learned. For example, Sectoid Interrogation is required to learn Mind Fray.
* Aliens now have various perks. Autopsies are required to inspect aliens of the same species and see their perks. For example, once Sectoid Autopsy has been performed, players can target a Sectoid, and press F1 to inspect them.
* UFOs that have been successfully assaulted can now be analyzed, providing your ships with a damage bonus against these UFOs.
* All Council requests except Satellites now require specific research projects to be completed. For example, council members will not request Sectoid Corpses before Xenobiology has been researched.
* South America's continent bonus no longer makes autopsies and interrogations instantaneous. It instead affects the cost to build and maintain power generators.

==Research Speed==
The duration listed for all research projects is the duration for 30 scientists with no [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], adjacency bonus or research credits.
* Having less than 30 scientists increases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 15 scientists, the actual duration is double that of the listed value.
* Having more than 30 scientists decreases the duration of all research projects. For example, if you have 60 scientists, the actual duration is half that of the listed value.
* Each [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]] additively increases the effectiveness of your scientists by 20%.
* Each adjacency links between [[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratories]], the [[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]] and the [[Psionic Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]] additively increases the effectiveness of your scientists by 10%.
* Interrogations provide research credits, which lower the research time of all research projects and foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%.
* Expertise (Brazil's starting bonus) increases research credit bonuses by 15% (multiplicatively) for a total of 36% research time reduction.
* FORMULA: finalTime = baseTime * (30 / (scientists * labBonus)) * creditBonus * brazilExpertiseBonus, with creditBonus = 0.75, brazilExpertiseBonus = 0.85

==Analysis Projects==
Analysis projects allow players to study aliens and their UFOs. These studies are generally shorter than technology projects, and do not cost any resources, except the corpses required for the autopsy or the captive required for the interrogation. Note that the duration to analyze more powerful aliens increases much more than in Vanilla.

Items in the "Unlocks" columns that are listed in italic and gray require multiple research projects, or require both a research project and a Foundry project. They are only unlocked when all research projects are completed, or when both the research project and the foundry project have been completed.
* Exception: Alien Operations only require a single interrogation in addition to Xenopsionics.

===Alien Autopsies===
Alien corpses that have been returned from successful missions can be autopsied for further analysis, once the required research projects have been completed. Note that autopsies require and consume multiple corpses, as listed below.

In addition to the listed unlocked items, autopsies also unlock the ability to inspect aliens on the battlefield and see their perks by targeting them and pressing F1, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===Alien Interrogations===
Alien captives that have been captured with an [[Equipment (Long War)#Miscellaneous Items|Arc Thrower]] and housed in the [[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]] can be interrogated once the autopsy project for that species has been completed.

All interrogations unlock certain research credits, which increases the research speed of all future research projects and Foundry projects that match the credit type by 25%, and often also unlock related Council requests.

===UFO Analysis===
Once a UFO has crashed or landed and then is successfully assaulted, it can be analyzed as a research project. Once the research project has completed, ships gain 10% damage bonus against all UFOs of the same type.
Also, once ''UFO Scanners'' Foundry project is completed, analyzed UFO's display damage during [[Air Combat (Long War)|Air Combat]].

All UFO Analysis have the Aerospace credit type. Once a Floater has been interrogated, the speed at which UFOs are analyzed increases by 25%.

==Technology Projects==
Technology projects allow players to study alien materials and develop new technology. These studies are generally longer than analysis projects, and usually cost a combination of Alien Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments, Meld and captured devices.

Most technology projects have a credit type. Once the research credits of this type have been acquired through an interrogation, the research speed for these technology projects increases by 25%.

===Xenology===
These research projects study the aliens in a more general approach than specific autopsies and interrogations, unlocking Psionic Powers, Genetic Modifications and Cybernetic Augmentations.

Most of these research projects are required for the various Autopsy projects, as well as Stealth Systems, Mind and Machine and Plasma Weapons. These research projects also advance the storyline.

===Materials and Aerospace===
These research projects study the Alien Alloys, Elerium, Weapon Fragments, Meld, UFO Flight Computers and UFO Power Sources that are obtained during missions, and unlock useful projects and items to require these materials, as well as Council requests for these materials.

Most of these research projects are required for the various Armor and Weapons projects, as well as Alien Biocybernetics.

===Plasma Weapons===
When aliens die, the weapons they wield self-destruct. When aliens are captured with an [[Equipment (Long War)#Utility devices|Arc Thrower]], their weapons remain intact, allowing then to be studied and retrofitted for human use.

Weapons (LWR)

2020-08-03T23:08:37Z

Cjriches: Removed unfinished warning, as page is now complete

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides an extremely short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close ranges.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 70% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.

Cjriches: Fixed MEC secondary weapon info

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides an extremely short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close ranges.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 70% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides an extremely short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close ranges.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 70% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides an extremely short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close ranges.

===Rocket Launchers===
As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 70% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides an extremely short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close ranges.

===Rocket Launchers===
Long War revamped the accuracy of rockets. Instead of a fixed 90% chance to accurately hit from vanilla, the chance of an accurate shot now scales with aim and distance. When you aim a rocket, you see a distance in tiles, indicating the expected average scatter distance. 68% of all rockets will remain within this scatter distance, 95% of all rockets will remain within twice the scatter distance, and 99.7% of all rocket will remain within three times the scatter distance. Rockets can scatter left, right and in distance, but cannot scatter in height. Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

A higher aim reduces the expected scatter distance, while firing a rocket over a longer distance increases the expected scatter distance. Firing a rocket after moving also decreases the range and increases the expected scatter distance. Bonuses and penalties to aim, such as steadying a weapon or carrying a small item that provides an aim bonus, do affect rockets as well. The only exception is the aim bonus provided by primary weapons, such as Beam Lasers and Carbines, which only apply to shots made with the primary weapon. When a soldier fires a rocket with 120 aim (including bonuses), the rocket will always hit accurately. This is indicated with "100%" instead of the distance in tiles.

Rocket Launchers are generally reserved for Rocketeers, but Engineers that pick up the Fire Rocket perk can also equip Rocket Launchers. This replaces their Pistol slot. Rocketeers, but not Engineers, can equip small items to provide them with additional rockets.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, providing an alternative weapon for the Pistol slot that allows the wielder to pack a punch. It deals the same damage as regular Shotgun, which exceeds the damage of even Plasma Pistol and Blaster, the Machine Pistol of the Pulse Laser weapon tier. Only the Plasma Mauler deals the same amount of damage.

However, the Sawed-off Shotgun carries quite the disadvantage. First, this weapon can only fire once before it needs to be reloaded, and no ammo capacity upgrade can improve this. Second, it can only be fired at point blank range. Third, because it is basically a Shotgun, it suffers more from damage reduction than other weapons.

As it is based of a Shotgun, it is unavailable to Rookies and Snipers. While it technically needs to be produced, the only cost is a Shotgun, something XCOM has in unlimited supply. This basically allows you to create a bunch of Sawed-off Shotguns directly after the first mission is complete at no actual cost, keeping them available even if you currently have no plans to put them to use.

===Rocket Launchers===
Long War revamped the accuracy of rockets. Instead of a fixed 90% chance to accurately hit from vanilla, the chance of an accurate shot now scales with aim and distance. When you aim a rocket, you see a distance in tiles, indicating the expected average scatter distance. 68% of all rockets will remain within this scatter distance, 95% of all rockets will remain within twice the scatter distance, and 99.7% of all rocket will remain within three times the scatter distance. Rockets can scatter left, right and in distance, but cannot scatter in height. Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

A higher aim reduces the expected scatter distance, while firing a rocket over a longer distance increases the expected scatter distance. Firing a rocket after moving also decreases the range and increases the expected scatter distance. Bonuses and penalties to aim, such as steadying a weapon or carrying a small item that provides an aim bonus, do affect rockets as well. The only exception is the aim bonus provided by primary weapons, such as Beam Lasers and Carbines, which only apply to shots made with the primary weapon. When a soldier fires a rocket with 120 aim (including bonuses), the rocket will always hit accurately. This is indicated with "100%" instead of the distance in tiles.

Rocket Launchers are generally reserved for Rocketeers, but Engineers that pick up the Fire Rocket perk can also equip Rocket Launchers. This replaces their Pistol slot. Rocketeers, but not Engineers, can equip small items to provide them with additional rockets.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

Weapons (LWR)

Cjriches: Fixed missing pistols

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%

|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols can be equipped instead of regular Pistols, providing more damage at the cost of a penalty to both mobility and aim. Like regular Pistols, they have a limited amount of ammunition, and incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this penalty entirely.

Unlike regular Pistol, there are Machine Pistols available for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though their penalties may cause you to consider if it's worth it to equip these weapons over Laser Pistols.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, providing an alternative weapon for the Pistol slot that allows the wielder to pack a punch. It deals the same damage as regular Shotgun, which exceeds the damage of even Plasma Pistol and Blaster, the Machine Pistol of the Pulse Laser weapon tier. Only the Plasma Mauler deals the same amount of damage.

However, the Sawed-off Shotgun carries quite the disadvantage. First, this weapon can only fire once before it needs to be reloaded, and no ammo capacity upgrade can improve this. Second, it can only be fired at point blank range. Third, because it is basically a Shotgun, it suffers more from damage reduction than other weapons.

As it is based of a Shotgun, it is unavailable to Rookies and Snipers. While it technically needs to be produced, the only cost is a Shotgun, something XCOM has in unlimited supply. This basically allows you to create a bunch of Sawed-off Shotguns directly after the first mission is complete at no actual cost, keeping them available even if you currently have no plans to put them to use.

===Rocket Launchers===
Long War revamped the accuracy of rockets. Instead of a fixed 90% chance to accurately hit from vanilla, the chance of an accurate shot now scales with aim and distance. When you aim a rocket, you see a distance in tiles, indicating the expected average scatter distance. 68% of all rockets will remain within this scatter distance, 95% of all rockets will remain within twice the scatter distance, and 99.7% of all rocket will remain within three times the scatter distance. Rockets can scatter left, right and in distance, but cannot scatter in height. Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

A higher aim reduces the expected scatter distance, while firing a rocket over a longer distance increases the expected scatter distance. Firing a rocket after moving also decreases the range and increases the expected scatter distance. Bonuses and penalties to aim, such as steadying a weapon or carrying a small item that provides an aim bonus, do affect rockets as well. The only exception is the aim bonus provided by primary weapons, such as Beam Lasers and Carbines, which only apply to shots made with the primary weapon. When a soldier fires a rocket with 120 aim (including bonuses), the rocket will always hit accurately. This is indicated with "100%" instead of the distance in tiles.

Rocket Launchers are generally reserved for Rocketeers, but Engineers that pick up the Fire Rocket perk can also equip Rocket Launchers. This replaces their Pistol slot. Rocketeers, but not Engineers, can equip small items to provide them with additional rockets.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-

|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

As in Long War 1.0, LWR contains a machine pistol for each weapon tier, plus the Sawed-off Shotgun, and the Recoilless Rifle acts as a gauss-tier rocket launcher.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though there are Machine Pistols.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols can be equipped instead of regular Pistols, providing more damage at the cost of a penalty to both mobility and aim. Like regular Pistols, they have a limited amount of ammunition, and incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this penalty entirely.

Unlike regular Pistol, there are Machine Pistols available for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though their penalties may cause you to consider if it's worth it to equip these weapons over Laser Pistols.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, providing an alternative weapon for the Pistol slot that allows the wielder to pack a punch. It deals the same damage as regular Shotgun, which exceeds the damage of even Plasma Pistol and Blaster, the Machine Pistol of the Pulse Laser weapon tier. Only the Plasma Mauler deals the same amount of damage.

However, the Sawed-off Shotgun carries quite the disadvantage. First, this weapon can only fire once before it needs to be reloaded, and no ammo capacity upgrade can improve this. Second, it can only be fired at point blank range. Third, because it is basically a Shotgun, it suffers more from damage reduction than other weapons.

As it is based of a Shotgun, it is unavailable to Rookies and Snipers. While it technically needs to be produced, the only cost is a Shotgun, something XCOM has in unlimited supply. This basically allows you to create a bunch of Sawed-off Shotguns directly after the first mission is complete at no actual cost, keeping them available even if you currently have no plans to put them to use.

===Rocket Launchers===
Long War revamped the accuracy of rockets. Instead of a fixed 90% chance to accurately hit from vanilla, the chance of an accurate shot now scales with aim and distance. When you aim a rocket, you see a distance in tiles, indicating the expected average scatter distance. 68% of all rockets will remain within this scatter distance, 95% of all rockets will remain within twice the scatter distance, and 99.7% of all rocket will remain within three times the scatter distance. Rockets can scatter left, right and in distance, but cannot scatter in height. Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

A higher aim reduces the expected scatter distance, while firing a rocket over a longer distance increases the expected scatter distance. Firing a rocket after moving also decreases the range and increases the expected scatter distance. Bonuses and penalties to aim, such as steadying a weapon or carrying a small item that provides an aim bonus, do affect rockets as well. The only exception is the aim bonus provided by primary weapons, such as Beam Lasers and Carbines, which only apply to shots made with the primary weapon. When a soldier fires a rocket with 120 aim (including bonuses), the rocket will always hit accurately. This is indicated with "100%" instead of the distance in tiles.

Rocket Launchers are generally reserved for Rocketeers, but Engineers that pick up the Fire Rocket perk can also equip Rocket Launchers. This replaces their Pistol slot. Rocketeers, but not Engineers, can equip small items to provide them with additional rockets.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

Cjriches: Fixed SHIV weapon info

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIV units]]. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Similar to primary weapons, Long War broadens the amount of sidearms available, adding five machine pistols, one per weapon tier, and adding the Sawed-off Shotgun, a sidearm that is unique to the Ballistic tier. See [[Weapons (Long War)#Weapon Tiers|Weapon tiers]] for more information on the new weapon tiers.

While the number of Rocket Launchers and MEC secondary weapons remains unchanged, explosives in general have received an overhaul. Unlike vanilla, where explosives dealt a fixed amount of damage to all enemies within the blast radius, in Long War, explosives deal a variable amount of damage that scales with the distance to the center. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to destructible environment, which is a little more durable in general compared to vanilla.

Soldiers belonging to the Gunner class and SHIV units cannot equip secondary weapons of any kind.

===Pistols===
As the default sidearm weapons, Pistols are quite similar to their vanilla counterparts, but now have a limited amount of ammunition, similar to primary weapons, and need to be reloaded independently from primary weapons. In addition, Pistols incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this penalty entirely.

There are no Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though there are Machine Pistols.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols can be equipped instead of regular Pistols, providing more damage at the cost of a penalty to both mobility and aim. Like regular Pistols, they have a limited amount of ammunition, and incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this penalty entirely.

Unlike regular Pistol, there are Machine Pistols available for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though their penalties may cause you to consider if it's worth it to equip these weapons over Laser Pistols.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, providing an alternative weapon for the Pistol slot that allows the wielder to pack a punch. It deals the same damage as regular Shotgun, which exceeds the damage of even Plasma Pistol and Blaster, the Machine Pistol of the Pulse Laser weapon tier. Only the Plasma Mauler deals the same amount of damage.

However, the Sawed-off Shotgun carries quite the disadvantage. First, this weapon can only fire once before it needs to be reloaded, and no ammo capacity upgrade can improve this. Second, it can only be fired at point blank range. Third, because it is basically a Shotgun, it suffers more from damage reduction than other weapons.

As it is based of a Shotgun, it is unavailable to Rookies and Snipers. While it technically needs to be produced, the only cost is a Shotgun, something XCOM has in unlimited supply. This basically allows you to create a bunch of Sawed-off Shotguns directly after the first mission is complete at no actual cost, keeping them available even if you currently have no plans to put them to use.

===Rocket Launchers===
Long War revamped the accuracy of rockets. Instead of a fixed 90% chance to accurately hit from vanilla, the chance of an accurate shot now scales with aim and distance. When you aim a rocket, you see a distance in tiles, indicating the expected average scatter distance. 68% of all rockets will remain within this scatter distance, 95% of all rockets will remain within twice the scatter distance, and 99.7% of all rocket will remain within three times the scatter distance. Rockets can scatter left, right and in distance, but cannot scatter in height. Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

A higher aim reduces the expected scatter distance, while firing a rocket over a longer distance increases the expected scatter distance. Firing a rocket after moving also decreases the range and increases the expected scatter distance. Bonuses and penalties to aim, such as steadying a weapon or carrying a small item that provides an aim bonus, do affect rockets as well. The only exception is the aim bonus provided by primary weapons, such as Beam Lasers and Carbines, which only apply to shots made with the primary weapon. When a soldier fires a rocket with 120 aim (including bonuses), the rocket will always hit accurately. This is indicated with "100%" instead of the distance in tiles.

Rocket Launchers are generally reserved for Rocketeers, but Engineers that pick up the Fire Rocket perk can also equip Rocket Launchers. This replaces their Pistol slot. Rocketeers, but not Engineers, can equip small items to provide them with additional rockets.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

Weapons (LWR)

Cjriches: Added mention of steadying MEC weapons

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-
|SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns || 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Carbines===
Carbines are lighter versions of Assault Rifles, though not as light as SMGs. They grant +0.6 mobility and +10 aim, and have moderate base crit chances. Their base ammo is 3 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (Long War)|SHIV units]]. They deal high damage, just as much as the MEC primary weapons, but suffer from the low base aim that all SHIV units share. However, the SHIVs modular design allows them to enhance the weapon with a variety of perks, allowing them to perform key roles in the right situation, such as using HEAT Ammo against robotic targets.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Similar to primary weapons, Long War broadens the amount of sidearms available, adding five machine pistols, one per weapon tier, and adding the Sawed-off Shotgun, a sidearm that is unique to the Ballistic tier. See [[Weapons (Long War)#Weapon Tiers|Weapon tiers]] for more information on the new weapon tiers.

While the number of Rocket Launchers and MEC secondary weapons remains unchanged, explosives in general have received an overhaul. Unlike vanilla, where explosives dealt a fixed amount of damage to all enemies within the blast radius, in Long War, explosives deal a variable amount of damage that scales with the distance to the center. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to destructible environment, which is a little more durable in general compared to vanilla.

Soldiers belonging to the Gunner class and SHIV units cannot equip secondary weapons of any kind.

===Pistols===
As the default sidearm weapons, Pistols are quite similar to their vanilla counterparts, but now have a limited amount of ammunition, similar to primary weapons, and need to be reloaded independently from primary weapons. In addition, Pistols incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this penalty entirely.

There are no Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though there are Machine Pistols.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols can be equipped instead of regular Pistols, providing more damage at the cost of a penalty to both mobility and aim. Like regular Pistols, they have a limited amount of ammunition, and incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this penalty entirely.

Unlike regular Pistol, there are Machine Pistols available for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though their penalties may cause you to consider if it's worth it to equip these weapons over Laser Pistols.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, providing an alternative weapon for the Pistol slot that allows the wielder to pack a punch. It deals the same damage as regular Shotgun, which exceeds the damage of even Plasma Pistol and Blaster, the Machine Pistol of the Pulse Laser weapon tier. Only the Plasma Mauler deals the same amount of damage.

However, the Sawed-off Shotgun carries quite the disadvantage. First, this weapon can only fire once before it needs to be reloaded, and no ammo capacity upgrade can improve this. Second, it can only be fired at point blank range. Third, because it is basically a Shotgun, it suffers more from damage reduction than other weapons.

As it is based of a Shotgun, it is unavailable to Rookies and Snipers. While it technically needs to be produced, the only cost is a Shotgun, something XCOM has in unlimited supply. This basically allows you to create a bunch of Sawed-off Shotguns directly after the first mission is complete at no actual cost, keeping them available even if you currently have no plans to put them to use.

===Rocket Launchers===
Long War revamped the accuracy of rockets. Instead of a fixed 90% chance to accurately hit from vanilla, the chance of an accurate shot now scales with aim and distance. When you aim a rocket, you see a distance in tiles, indicating the expected average scatter distance. 68% of all rockets will remain within this scatter distance, 95% of all rockets will remain within twice the scatter distance, and 99.7% of all rocket will remain within three times the scatter distance. Rockets can scatter left, right and in distance, but cannot scatter in height. Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

A higher aim reduces the expected scatter distance, while firing a rocket over a longer distance increases the expected scatter distance. Firing a rocket after moving also decreases the range and increases the expected scatter distance. Bonuses and penalties to aim, such as steadying a weapon or carrying a small item that provides an aim bonus, do affect rockets as well. The only exception is the aim bonus provided by primary weapons, such as Beam Lasers and Carbines, which only apply to shots made with the primary weapon. When a soldier fires a rocket with 120 aim (including bonuses), the rocket will always hit accurately. This is indicated with "100%" instead of the distance in tiles.

Rocket Launchers are generally reserved for Rocketeers, but Engineers that pick up the Fire Rocket perk can also equip Rocket Launchers. This replaces their Pistol slot. Rocketeers, but not Engineers, can equip small items to provide them with additional rockets.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

Cjriches: Fixed weapon names

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

{{Template:REWRITE NEEDED (EU2012)}}
== In General ==

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
* Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

* Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
* Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
* Rookies cannot use pistols
* Weapons are more accurate at close range
* Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
* Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

==Weapon Tiers==
'''Conventional/Ballistic'''

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Electric'''

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 4
</div>

'''Beam Lasers'''

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Gauss'''

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 6
</div>

'''Pulse Lasers'''

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla.

<div style="max-width:580px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility
</div>

'''Plasma'''

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

<div style="max-width:160px;">
Base Damage: 8
</div>

'''Weapon-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
*Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
*Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
*Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
*MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

== Weapon Types==
Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|SHIV and MEC Weapons || 200%
|-
|LMGs || 175%
|-

|-
|Battle Rifles || 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles || 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs || 75%
|}

== Primary Weapons ==

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

===SMGs===

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant [[Abilities List (LWR)#Killer Instinct|Killer Instinct]] (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

===Carbines===
Carbines are lighter versions of Assault Rifles, though not as light as SMGs. They grant +0.6 mobility and +10 aim, and have moderate base crit chances. Their base ammo is 3 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 75%.

===Arc and Stun Rifles ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The [[Abilities List (LWR)#Snapshot|Snapshot]] perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to mobility, cannot be steadied, and have low base crit chance. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]] ability. Their base ammo is 4 and their base damage is 150%.

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have additional mobility and aim penalties, but have greater damage and ammo, and provide both [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]] and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Flush|Flush]]. Their base ammo is 5, and their base damage is 175%.

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MEC Troopers]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

===SHIV Weapons===
SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (Long War)|SHIV units]]. They deal high damage, just as much as the MEC primary weapons, but suffer from the low base aim that all SHIV units share. However, the SHIVs modular design allows them to enhance the weapon with a variety of perks, allowing them to perform key roles in the right situation, such as using HEAT Ammo against robotic targets.

== Secondary Weapons ==

Similar to primary weapons, Long War broadens the amount of sidearms available, adding five machine pistols, one per weapon tier, and adding the Sawed-off Shotgun, a sidearm that is unique to the Ballistic tier. See [[Weapons (Long War)#Weapon Tiers|Weapon tiers]] for more information on the new weapon tiers.

While the number of Rocket Launchers and MEC secondary weapons remains unchanged, explosives in general have received an overhaul. Unlike vanilla, where explosives dealt a fixed amount of damage to all enemies within the blast radius, in Long War, explosives deal a variable amount of damage that scales with the distance to the center. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to destructible environment, which is a little more durable in general compared to vanilla.

Soldiers belonging to the Gunner class and SHIV units cannot equip secondary weapons of any kind.

===Pistols===
As the default sidearm weapons, Pistols are quite similar to their vanilla counterparts, but now have a limited amount of ammunition, similar to primary weapons, and need to be reloaded independently from primary weapons. In addition, Pistols incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this penalty entirely.

There are no Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though there are Machine Pistols.

===Machine Pistols===
Machine Pistols can be equipped instead of regular Pistols, providing more damage at the cost of a penalty to both mobility and aim. Like regular Pistols, they have a limited amount of ammunition, and incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this penalty entirely.

Unlike regular Pistol, there are Machine Pistols available for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers, though their penalties may cause you to consider if it's worth it to equip these weapons over Laser Pistols.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, providing an alternative weapon for the Pistol slot that allows the wielder to pack a punch. It deals the same damage as regular Shotgun, which exceeds the damage of even Plasma Pistol and Blaster, the Machine Pistol of the Pulse Laser weapon tier. Only the Plasma Mauler deals the same amount of damage.

However, the Sawed-off Shotgun carries quite the disadvantage. First, this weapon can only fire once before it needs to be reloaded, and no ammo capacity upgrade can improve this. Second, it can only be fired at point blank range. Third, because it is basically a Shotgun, it suffers more from damage reduction than other weapons.

As it is based of a Shotgun, it is unavailable to Rookies and Snipers. While it technically needs to be produced, the only cost is a Shotgun, something XCOM has in unlimited supply. This basically allows you to create a bunch of Sawed-off Shotguns directly after the first mission is complete at no actual cost, keeping them available even if you currently have no plans to put them to use.

===Rocket Launchers===
Long War revamped the accuracy of rockets. Instead of a fixed 90% chance to accurately hit from vanilla, the chance of an accurate shot now scales with aim and distance. When you aim a rocket, you see a distance in tiles, indicating the expected average scatter distance. 68% of all rockets will remain within this scatter distance, 95% of all rockets will remain within twice the scatter distance, and 99.7% of all rocket will remain within three times the scatter distance. Rockets can scatter left, right and in distance, but cannot scatter in height. Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

A higher aim reduces the expected scatter distance, while firing a rocket over a longer distance increases the expected scatter distance. Firing a rocket after moving also decreases the range and increases the expected scatter distance. Bonuses and penalties to aim, such as steadying a weapon or carrying a small item that provides an aim bonus, do affect rockets as well. The only exception is the aim bonus provided by primary weapons, such as Beam Lasers and Carbines, which only apply to shots made with the primary weapon. When a soldier fires a rocket with 120 aim (including bonuses), the rocket will always hit accurately. This is indicated with "100%" instead of the distance in tiles.

Rocket Launchers are generally reserved for Rocketeers, but Engineers that pick up the Fire Rocket perk can also equip Rocket Launchers. This replaces their Pistol slot. Rocketeers, but not Engineers, can equip small items to provide them with additional rockets.

===MEC secondary weapons===
MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.
