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 undergo genetic modification at any one time. 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)|Laboratory]] additively increases the effectiveness of 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 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.

===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.

Equipment (Long War)

[[File: Soldiers_Equipment_Long_War.png|left|224px|]]
{{Toc (Long War)|30}}

In Long War, all regular soldiers have 2 '''equipment''' slots from the start of the game. The [[Foundry_(Long_War)#General_Equipment_Upgrades|Tactical Rigging]] Foundry project increases this to 3 slots. The Jungle Scouts starting bonus from Brazil also increases this to 3 item slots for the early game [[Armor (Long War)|armors]] (Tac Vest, Tac Armor, Kestrel Armor, Phalanx Armor and Aurora), but this bonus does not stack with the bonus from the ''Tactical Rigging'' [[Foundry_(Long_War)|Foundry project]].

Long War added a lot of items for abilities that were previously only available as a perk, such as Battle Scanners. Most of these are also still available as a perk, though generally the perk provides additional bonuses now.

All equipment that is available from the start of the game are available without limits, so you can equip them on any number of available soldiers. Since you have an infinite amount, these items have no cost, do not need to be repaired, and cannot be sold. The same applies to Alien Grenades, once you have researched the ''Alien Grenades'' Foundry project.

All other items need to be produced first, and can only be equipped once per time they are produced. Note that producing consumables represents a production line for these consumables. You can still only equip it once for each time you have produced them, but using them during the mission does not expend them from your storage, and unless damaged, you can bring them again during the next mission.

Most items have a weight, which is represented as a movement penalty. The average item has a weight of 1, and thus provides a -1 movement penalty, though some items weigh two, while a few items weigh nothing or even provide a movement bonus. Extra charges from perks such as ''Packmaster'', ''Grenadier'' and ''Smoke and Mirrors'' do not increase the weight and do not provide additional movement penalties.

You can choose to equip less than the maximum number of items by clicking on the empty hand icon. Since most items provide a movement penalty, this effectively gives you a small movement bonus.

A lot of items have an effect that lasts for one or more turns. All turns last until the start of the player's turn. Thus, an item that lasts for 1 turn and is activated during the player's turn, remains in effect for the remainder of that player's turn and the following Alien's turn. An item that lasts for 2 turns and is activated during the Aliens' turn, remains in effect for the remainder of that Aliens' turn, the following player's turn, and the following Aliens' turn.

==Soldier equipment==
===Protective gear===
In Long War, the aliens are even more deadly than in vanilla. Fortunately, you have access to a few protective items that can be worn in addition to regular armor, to provide a little more survivability. Note that Ceramic, Alloy and Chitin Plating can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Miscellaneous gear===
In addition to the items above that mostly protect against physical attacks, there are also a few items that protect your soldiers against panic and psychic attack, as well as items that help your soldiers with their mobility or experience. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Weapon attachments===
In Long War, the enemies become harder and harder to hit as the game progresses. Fortunately, there are an array of items available to enhance your weapons' accuracy. With the exception of Rockets, these items apply their bonus to primary weapons only. Note that SCOPEs, Neural Gunlinks and Illuminator Gunsights can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Special ammunition===
In addition to attaching unique items to your weapons, you can also replace the standard ammunition and clips with more specialized ammunition and clips, to further enhance your attacks. Unlike weapon attachments, special ammunition only applies to your primary weapon, and most special ammunition only works with specific weapon types. Note that Hi Cap and Drum Mags can't stack with one another, that Shredder, Armor Piercing and Flak Ammo can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Explosives===
Sometimes, the best answer is to blow up the enemy, or the cover that the enemy is hiding behind. These are the right tools for the job. Keep in mind that in Long War, 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.

Even though Engineers can pick the Fire Rocket perk, they cannot equip these additional rockets, restricting them to the single rocket that's provided by the perk. Rocketeers can only pick up either rocket once, but they can pick up both rockets, though it could be wise to reserve one slot for an aim boosting item.

While not as much as rockets, grenades have also received a bit of an overhaul, and the Engineering class has several perks dedicated to lobbing explosive grenades. They still always hit their target, making them more reliable than rockets, especially in the early game, though they can't keep up with range and damage output. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once.

===Support grenades===
Like explosive grenades, support grenades have also received a few more perks to enhance them, and while the Grenadier perk doesn't increase the number of support grenades carried, its range bonus does affect both explosive and support grenades. While Battle Scanners and Mimic Beacons aren't called grenades, they are affected by these perks, and are thus included here. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once. To keep the table size a bit practical, the effects of Disorient, Smoke and Acid are described here instead:

Disorient: Units that are Disoriented immediately cancel Overwatch and Suppression. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 40%, they receive a -50 penalty to aim, and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced.

Smoke: Units that are covered by Smoke gain a +20 bonus to defense. In addition, these units do not suffer the increased critical chance when fired at when exposed or flanked, though they are still considered exposed or flanked for the purpose of perks.

Acid: Acid lasts for 2 to 4 turns and deals 1 damage per action other than Hunker Down or ending the soldier's turn. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 25%, their damage reduction is reduced by 50% (if their damage reduction is less than 6, it's reduced by 3, to a minimum of 0), they receive a -20 penalty to aim and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced. Zombies, robotic units and units that have a Respirator Implant or Medikit equipped negate the damage and penalty to mobility.

===Utility devices===
Finally, the utility devices includes all items that are not considered explosives or support grenades, but still have a limited number of charges. Thus, these items grant the most varied effects. Note that soldiers can equip more than one Medikit or Arc Thrower, but not more than one of each other item.

==MEC and SHIV equipment==
===MEC equipment===
One of the main features of Long War is the versatility of mechanized units. Not only do you have eight different classes of MEC troopers at your disposal, you also have the option to fully kit them with items that can supplement or completely change their role on the battlefield. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but MEC troopers can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers.

===SHIV modules===
While SHIVs cannot go up in rank, and thus cannot earn any perks, they can equip a varied amount of modules that grant different perks, allowing them to fill in for whichever role you need them to. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but SHIV units can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers and MEC troopers.

Talk:Damage (Long War)

2015-11-14T00:21:32Z

Demes:

I added Amineri's explanation of damage roulette (https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/30wtkq/lw_b15b_some_feedback/cpwzxl8) to "The randomization roll". First time editing, so apologies if I made any mistakes - DDADDA

== Overhaul ==

Did an exhaustive edit of the entire page; adding, removing, expanding and reformatting. Improved grammar and spelling, modified the overall page aesthetic, spruced up the wikitables with headers, added lists of relevant items for people interested in damage calculations, removed speculation and "advice" (this isn't a guide or tutorial), removed quotes by Amineri (no other page has them or even provides sources; if you want to do sources do it like a real wiki). If you think I changed something for the worse, let me know. --[[User:DjinnFor|DjinnFor]] ([[User talk:DjinnFor|talk]]) 02:35, 3 November 2015 (EST)

@[[User:Demes|Demes]] I have reverted your changes to the OW dashing multiplier and Combat Stims pursuant to information in these reddit LW threads [https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/2mio9i/lw_overwatch_mechanics/] [https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/35so0y/lwhow_overwatch_works/] [https://www.reddit.com/r/Xcom/comments/30hzxt/combat_stims_perk/]. I initially gave you the benefit of the doubt as me misremembering things, but it was bothering me and I decided to follow up on them with some research. It could be that those threads are out of date (or the individuals in question were misinformed at the time of posting) and you know something I don't, in which case I'd be perfectly fine with the edit being reinstated, but for the time being and in lieu of further clarification from you I've switched them back. [[User:DjinnFor|DjinnFor]] ([[User talk:DjinnFor|talk]]) 08:14, 13 November 2015 (EST)

@[[User:DjinnFor|DjinnFor]] The information I changed was based on mostly personal experience and some research. My understanding of the OW dashing multiplier is based on both the DefaultGameCore.ini file and personal experience. If you look at the .ini, under "tactical constants" on line ~1210 and onwards, There's two variables relating to OW. These are "REACTION_PENALTY=0.7f ; Reaction fire % of normal of hit chance." and "DASHING_REACTION_MODIFIER=0.5f ; Reaction fire % of normal hit chance against a dashing unit." From my experience, neither of these applies if the shooter has Opportunist. The Combat Stim mechanic, that one I think I noticed while playing, however it was just a quick observation (Adrenaline Surge seemed to have disappeared, when I healed myself to full), I didn't do any thorough testing. Would probably be for the best to test how it works ingame, shouldnt take long with the help of dev console. The damage reduction part (applies always), which you reverted too, I'm much more certain about, would make sense according to the wording on the wiki equpment page (note the oxford comma) and also isn't addressed in the sources you listed (I didn't notice it at least). However its always good to test it ingame, if you can. Because the exact mechanics are somewhat complex, not really explained anywhere or very clear at all, there is a lot of misinformation in Reddit, Twitch, and sometimes even here, although to a much lesser extent.

I usually keep up with what's going on here but I've been a bit busy playing Fallout 4 the past few days. Generally I think I have a fairly accurate understanding of the mechanics of XCOM LW, but I've wrong before, at least once.
I like the rework you did to the page, looks much better now. I didn't check everything on the page so there's probably still something that on my opinion works differently, for example if we believe the dgc.ini, the gauss tech DR reduction is 0.34, not 0.33 ("COUNCIL_FUNDING_MULTIPLIER_EASY=0.34f ; All Gauss-tech weapons nullify this much Damage Reduction"), although a difference of 0.01 DR is completely irrelevant in almost any situation. --[[User:Demes|Demes]] ([[User talk:Demes|talk]]) 18:52, 13 November 2015 (EST)

A couple things that I think are wrong:

'''Disoriented (as from e.g. Flashbang) [Effect] : -50 for 2 turns''' I believe Flashbangs only last 1.5 turns (The turn you throw it, the alien turn, your turn). Smoke grenades do last full 2 turns.

'''Acid-covered (as from e.g. Chem Grenade) [Effect]: -20 for 3 turns''' Acid duration is not fixed, its something like 2-4 or 2-5 turns. Equipment page says its 2-4 turns so I would probably go with that but I wouldn't bet my first-born on that.

And a couple things that may be wrong:

'''Flat Cover DR is applied, if the target is in cover and not flanked, and the weapon is not an AP Grenade or Shredder Rocket''' I'm not sure if Shredder Rockets actually ignore cover DR, even though the targeting is similar to an AP grenade. Should probably be tested

'''Sapper [Perk]: +1 for HE & AP, and +2 for Alien Grenades''' Sapper gives +2 to alien nades? This is new information to me, but I'll believe if this really is the case.

==Overview==
The '''Foundry''' is one the most important buildings in Long War; as with the default game, it is essential for upgrading existing equipment and unlocking new items for further development. The Foundry is unlocked very early during the campaign and it is highly advised to get one up and running as quickly as possible. Besides enhancing and creating new technologies, the Foundry also counts as a workshop for adjacency purposes.

Foundry projects are generally passive upgrades and whilst their effects may seem small, they can have a subtle but long-lasting impact on a campaign as they cover everything from boosting the chance of scoring critical hits with pistols, to enhancing the amount of materials recovered after combat. Unfortunately, these projects also require a significant investment of resources, especially meld. They also often require other rarer or more unusual materials such as corpses, wrecks, or UFO components.

Each project has an engineer requirement, while you can still start the project without meeting this requirement, the time to complete it will be significantly longer than usual.

One of the most important upgrade paths that the Foundry gives access to is interceptor upgrades, making them viable against the Alien UFOs. For a full list of some of the new items unlocked by Foundry projects, refer to the [[Equipment (Long War)|Equipment]] page.

Many Foundry projects bear the same name and effects as [[Foundry (EU2012)|their original incarnation]], though with differing costs, requirements, and time.

==Overview==
The '''Foundry''' is one the most important buildings in Long War; as with the default game, it is essential for upgrading existing equipment and unlocking new items for further development. The Foundry is unlocked very early during the campaign and it is highly advised to get one up and running as quickly as possible. Besides enhancing and creating new technologies, the Foundry also counts as a workshop for adjacency purposes.

Foundry projects are generally passive upgrades and whilst their effects may seem small, they can have a subtle but long-lasting impact on a campaign as they cover everything from boosting the chance of scoring critical hits with pistols, to enhancing the amount of materials recovered after combat. Unfortunately, these projects also require a significant investment of resources, especially meld. They also often require other rarer or more unusual materials such as corpses, wrecks, or UFO components.

Each project has an engineer requirement, while you can still start the project without meeting this requirement, the time to complete it will be significantly longer than usual.

One of the most important upgrade paths that the Foundry gives access to is interceptor upgrades, making them viable against the Alien UFOs. For a full list of some of the new items unlocked by Foundry projects, refer to the [[Equipment (Long War)|Equipment]] page.

Many Foundry projects bear the same name and effects as [[Foundry (EU2012)|their original incarnation]], though with differing costs, requirements, and time.

Demes: /* Damage Calculations */

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b14}}
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>

==Overview==
UFOs are tougher, faster, and much deadlier in Long War. Along with that, your crafts and armaments are significantly less potent, at least at first. You will need to cycle your craft regularly like your soldiers. UFO kills will grant experience to your pilots and provide a bonus to accuracy. Your pilots will learn UFO flight patterns and movements and therefore will become much better at shooting down alien craft. Interceptor experience provides +3% to hit per kill (up to + 30%) and +1% damage per kill (with no top limit). Also, you will find that both your craft and UFOs may sometimes get 'critical hits', with UFOs being downed in a few hits, or your undamaged Interceptor immediately going into near-full red damage indicator.

At the start of the game your fresh pilots are equipped with Avalanche Missiles, which now have an abysmal 40% accuracy. While it is still possible to down the first Scout with one Interceptor, this is an incredibly unlikely event. It's more probable that it would take two, or even three interceptions to bring down even the most basic alien craft. It is also a good idea to switch some of your aircraft armaments to Stingray missiles at the game start, details on that below.

Players should exert caution and pick and choose their air battles carefully. You will not be able to bring down every single enemy UFO. Sometimes attempting high risk interceptions against tough targets would be detrimental to your campaign due to the highly unpredictable nature of the engagements at the start of the game. Your early game goal should be to get experience for some of your pilots and advance your air-warfare technology in order to keep aliens at bay on the battleground for the Earth's skies. In case you overreach too early, you might quickly find yourself crippled with long repair times and unable to stop alien operations.

There are Research and Engineering projects that will assist in aerial sorties. There are multiple foundry projects to improve your interceptors. There are also three consumables that remain from Vanilla.

As you progress, each type of UFO's statistics also increase, from general 'health' to firing rates, as to keep you on your toes; so don't expect to ever truly dominate the skies. Plus with the added variables to air-interception, there is no clear-cut "UFO X can be brought down by Interceptor Y" table. As such, the Long War's [[UFOs_(Long_War)|UFO]] page will be your general guide for how--- or if-- to attempt to engage these potent UFOs.

If the aliens send a UFO and it is damaged, destroyed or lost, the aliens will pay resources for it, limiting their options in the next month.

===Damaging UFOs===
It is not necessary to shoot down enemy UFOs in order to prevent them from completing their mission. Doing damage to them is sometimes enough to spoil their plans or reduce their effectiveness. The damage that UFO sustains is stored between interceptions, therefore multiple interception attempts is a good idea to limit the damage to your own Air Force. When a player does more than 50% damage to a UFO, you will start seeing explosion effects around it.

Some UFOs will wander about a country's airspace before zooming off. For these, it is sufficient to get the yellow effect described above. Those effects signify that UFO sustained enough damage to prevent it from completing its mission, such as an Anti-Satellite hunt. Note however that you still have a chance to prevent the UFO's mission while doing less than 50% damage, which is simply linear (i.e., the UFO abort mission chance is 0% at full health, 100% at 50% health, and in 2x% general at (100-x)% health). Otherwise, when they leave detectable airspace (whether you have a satellite over the target country or not), there will be a notification of the damage they did in the minor notices that play alongside the Hologlobe during in-game time progression.

Other UFOs will have a set flight path, and a narrow window of opportunity to intercept: to disrupt these missions entirely, these need to be shot out of the sky. Cases like this include Assault Carriers and Abductors.

Long War mod brings back a mechanic from previous generations of XCOM: UFOs can now have full DOA crashes (with minimal Alloy recovery, and no corpses or other artifacts), so in some cases you may want to pull your punches. To compensate, the Council will give cash rewards for UFOs obliterated in flight. The harder hitting weapons have a greater chance of reducing UFOs to a pile of smelted alloys.

According to johnnylump on the [http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2967954-beta-15e-final-feedback/page-41 Nexus Forums],

* When a UFO lands it is either conducting a harvest mission (gain resources) or a research mission (gain research). Research missions happen only in countries with satellites -- this is an alien recon-in-force that's a direct attempt to engage XCOM.

* Harvest missions *try* to avoid countries with satellites, with a greater chance when alien aggro is high, but they pay a resource penalty when they do (representing a second-best, safer option.)

* Damage to UFOs, or losses on the ground, have no bearing on research points or resources gained from the mission ... if the UFO survives, it gets full value.

* Damage to UFOs in the air does deduct resources as a repair cost, which is calculated separately from harvest gains.

===Interceptor Weapons and Stances===
Air-to-air weapons now have three main damage statistics - Damage, Rate of Fire, and Armor Penetration. UFOs have different armor levels, which reduces the damage done by a weapon if its armor penetration isn't high enough. For example, you start with a choice between Avalanche missiles (medium damage, low armor penetration) and Stingray missiles (low damage, medium armor penetration). Avalanches will be better against unarmored and very lightly armored UFOs, while Stingrays will be better against more armored UFOs.

When launching you can set a combat stance for your interceptors as they launch on a mission:
* Aggressive gives +15% to hit for both you and the UFO. You may not use the dodge consumable when aggressive.
* Balanced plays out like normal.
* Defensive gives -15% to hit for both you and the UFO. You may not use the auto-hit consumable when defensive.
Mathematically and not accounting for interception time, this means that Aggressive is the most efficient stance when your Interceptor aim is lower than UFO aim, while Defensive is strongest when your Interceptor aim is higher than UFO aim. These effects are stronger the bigger the difference.
However, Interception time is an issue as UFOs will just leave after some time. Obviously, Aggressive is the most time-effective stance.

===UFO Flight Patterns===
UFOs can fly at three altitudes: "High", "Low" and "NOE" ("Nap of the Earth,"). The altitude is a clue of what mission the UFO is going on - UFOs flying at NOE altitude are most likely to land, are performing bombing runs, or will generate an Abduction or Terror mission immediately upon arriving at their destination. UFOs at high altitude are most likely to be hunting satellites. UFOs at low altitude are likely to be scouting satellites, so they must be dealt with. Unless playing in Ironman, you may want to see if a UFO will land before shooting it down (and reload if it does not): while a landed UFO is always more dangerous, an intact UFO and it's material components is a valuable prize, given how fragile Power Sources and Flight Computers are from being shot down in Long War.

Once you successfully raid a UFO type, either landed or crash landed, you can research that craft for a damage bonus against it in future.

===Strategic Plan===
* You start with the Avalanche and Stingray missiles. These will work for small and medium craft for a while until Aliens research better upgrades for their craft.
* After some time sticking with conventional weapons will leave you totally outgunned. Next you'll want to upgrade to Laser and Phoenix cannons. Laser Cannons are built for accuracy, so a pilot can still reliably hit UFOs on Balanced or Defensive stance. The Coilgun is built for armor penetration and higher rate of fire. You would likely need multiple interceptions with frequent use of boost modules to reliably bring down larger UFOs.
* The Plasma Cannons need to be built from Alien Rifles. Once the Mutons start fielding them, you would want to build up a cache of those items to convert to plasma cannons for your Interceptors. The EMP Cannon is built from 1 Sectopod wreck each. It has a higher rate of fire and lower damage than Plasma which increases the chance of UFOs not being destroyed outright. It also increases the chance for more resources to remain intact for UFO crash-site missions.
* Last, but certainly not least, the Fusion Lance is the most powerful air to air weapon that can only be used by Firestorms. They're built from Fusion Cores, and the only way to get Fusion Cores is to take down Battleships and Assault Carriers... or save the cores from [[Slingshot_DLC_(EU2012)|Slingshot]] mission. Though once you do get them set up, you would have a good chance to disrupt even the Terror missions.

===Interception Strategy===
* You can have more than six interceptors when you defend one continent. store your spare interceptors on the other continents and make them rotate.
* Choose an appropriate stance based on your equipped weapon, researched upgrades, and UFO type.
* Always be prepared to cancel an interception if the engagement is not going well for you. Losing an aircraft with an expensive weapons can be devastating to your resources.
* Consider aborting interception if your first shot hits while UFO misses. You can refuel within an hour and try again or send another bird out with the same hit and run tactics.
* Pressing escape instantly after aborting, reselecting mission control and the UFO will allow you to send a new interceptor out without having to wait for the first one to fly back to base. If the interceptor you aborted with wasn't damaged, you can even send the same interceptor back mid-air and instantly re-engage, without having to fly back & forth and refuel.
* Consider aborting when a satellite hunter displays explosion effects. You have prevented the destruction of the satellite, so you might not want to risk additional damage.
* Use modules in tough situations when you need an extra boost to get the job done.
* Have an idea of how many interceptions are possible before UFO completes its mission or attempts to escape. For example Scouts usually can only be engaged twice with Ravens.
* If/once you get enough EMP Cannons to be distributed throughout each continent's squadron, remember that higher damage weapons have a greater chance to outright destroy enemy craft. Plan your engagements around that fact and consider which ground tactical missions you would rather go on.
** Consider saving craft equipped with more damaging weapons to go against larger UFOs, while EMPing the smaller craft may be a better risk/reward scenario, given that their full compliment of aliens won't be much larger than if shot down with other weapons.
* Late-game, you may find that the aliens favor sending more and the larger UFOs to one continent in particular (such as the continent that got the first Alien Base, or the one with XCOM HQ), meaning that you'll remained burdened by repair times: simply cycle out damaged fighters with fresh fighters from other continents.
** Transit time puts repair times on pause, but transfer time will almost always be far less than the days it'll take to repair a single fighter.
** This will also help you by evening out experience between your pilots, and spreading them out between each continent, so you don't get blindsided by, say, a Battleship appearing in a continent with an inexperienced squadron.
* The modules are much more worthwhile-- nearly essential-- in Long War. As said, Dodge cannot be used in an aggressive stance and Aim cannot be used in a defensive stance. And as they do take time to build, it pays to maintain a stock of them.
** The Aim module is fairly cheap, and is useful throughout a campaign. Keep a large stock of Floater corpses to make these. While an aggressive stance means that all shots have more accuracy, using an Aim module early in a normal stance dogfight means drawing first blood while being a little harder to be hit yourself.
** The Boost module can be used in any stance, and only extends time (as all air-to-air weapons now are counted as 'long range', approach reduction time no longer is affected). More useful in early game, when you need more time to do enough damage with the weaker weapons and less experienced pilots.
** The Dodge module is exceedingly useful, and still hard to make, due to the necessity of Cyberdisc wrecks needed to construct them.

==Damage Calculations==
*Armor Mitigation = 0.05 * (Target Armor - Armor Penetration)
**0 is the minimum Armor Mitigation and 0.95 is the maximum
*Base Damage = Weapon Damage * (1 - Armor Mitigation)
*Crit Chance = (Armor Penetration - Target Armor) / 2
**5% is the minimum Crit Chance and 25% is the maximum
*A successful Crit multiplies damage by 2
*total damage is then randomized to between 100% and 150% of its current value.
*For XCOM Aircraft:
**If the appropriate UFO analysis has been researched, total damage is multiplied by 1.1
**total damage is also multiplied by (Pilot Kills / 100) + 1

Examples:
* Avalanche Missiles (340 damage, 0 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): no armor is penetrated, so 12×5=60% of damage is blocked, and the avalanche has an effective damage of 136-204.
* Laser Cannon (290 damage, 5 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): armor mitigation value of 12-5=7. Consequently, 7×5=35% of the damage is blocked, and the cannon has an effective damage of 188-282.
* Stingray Missiles (200 damage, 10 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): armor mitigation value of 12-10=2. Only 10% of damage is blocked, the stingray has an effective damage of 180-270.

Note that in the above example while the Laser Cannon and Stingray Missiles are about equal on a per-hit basis, the Laser Cannon is more effective in combat due to its higher rate of fire and higher accuracy.

|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Scout.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Scout'''|| Low || None || The speedy Scout-class UFO is fortunately within Earth's native capabilities to shoot down ... on occasion. It appears to be used for general reconnaissance, resource-gathering and research.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Fighter.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Fighter'''|| Low || Light || The alien Fighter, while similar in outward appearance to the scout, is much better protected. Armor-piercing weapons like our Stingray missiles will be helpful in bringing these craft down. This class of craft is used primarily for air raids and anti-satellite operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Raider.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Raider'''|| Moderate || Very Light || The Raider class of UFO seems to be a multirole craft that thus suffers in combat power. The aliens appear to use it for reconnaissance, research and resource-gathering operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Destroyer.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Destroyer'''|| Moderate || Moderate || The deadly Destroyer present a much greater threat to our aircraft than its sister class of ships. Armor-piercing weapons are required to defeat this craft. It appears to primarily be used for air raids and anti-satellite operations, although we may see it conduct reconnaissance missions as well. Our analysts note the presence of unused hardpoints on some images of this craft, so we should look out for upgraded versions with even more killing power.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Abductor.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Abductor'''|| High || Heavy || Abductors appear to be much better protected than other ships of this size. Perhaps the aliens particularly value the abduction and research missions they are used for.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Harvester.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Harvester'''|| High || Moderate || The Harvester class of UFO seems to have one role -- to recover important biological materials and minerals from Earth in support of other alien operations. We should try to interdict alien harvest operations whenever possible to slow the alien advance. These craft may be vulnerable to a concentrated attack.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Transport.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Transport'''|| Very High || Heavy || This ponderously slow craft will be a tough nut to crack. It appears to be primarily used in alien terrestrial resource-gathering but could also be used in support of other major alien operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_TerrorShip.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Terror Ship'''|| Very High || Heavy || The rarely encountered Terror Ship appears suited for rapid deployment of alien shock troops. They appear to presage alien terror missions, but they may be used for alien research on XCOM as well.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_AssaultCarrier.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Assault Carrier'''|| Highest || Heavy || The assault carrier, while built on a battleship hull, lacks some of its sister's firepower and may be easier to shoot down. Nevertheless, we expect to see the aliens use this craft only against high-value targets, so it should be taken seriously whenever it is detected.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Battleship.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Battleship'''|| Highest || Very Heavy || An unbelievably dangerous piece of hardware, these UFOs never appear to land but are used in bombing, anti-satellite and air superiority roles.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Overseer.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Overseer'''|| High || Very Heavy || This class of ship appears to be used as a airborne command center for the ethereal race of alien. Only our strongest weapons will be able to penetrate its armor.

Demes: /* Interception Strategy */ interceptor abuse mechanics clarified

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b14}}
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>

==Overview==
UFOs are tougher, faster, and much deadlier in Long War. Along with that, your crafts and armaments are significantly less potent, at least at first. You will need to cycle your craft regularly like your soldiers. UFO kills will grant experience to your pilots and provide a bonus to accuracy. Your pilots will learn UFO flight patterns and movements and therefore will become much better at shooting down alien craft. Interceptor experience provides +3% to hit per kill (up to + 30%) and +1% damage per kill (with no top limit). Also, you will find that both your craft and UFOs may sometimes get 'critical hits', with UFOs being downed in a few hits, or your undamaged Interceptor immediately going into near-full red damage indicator.

At the start of the game your fresh pilots are equipped with Avalanche Missiles, which now have an abysmal 40% accuracy. While it is still possible to down the first Scout with one Interceptor, this is an incredibly unlikely event. It's more probable that it would take two, or even three interceptions to bring down even the most basic alien craft. It is also a good idea to switch some of your aircraft armaments to Stingray missiles at the game start, details on that below.

Players should exert caution and pick and choose their air battles carefully. You will not be able to bring down every single enemy UFO. Sometimes attempting high risk interceptions against tough targets would be detrimental to your campaign due to the highly unpredictable nature of the engagements at the start of the game. Your early game goal should be to get experience for some of your pilots and advance your air-warfare technology in order to keep aliens at bay on the battleground for the Earth's skies. In case you overreach too early, you might quickly find yourself crippled with long repair times and unable to stop alien operations.

There are Research and Engineering projects that will assist in aerial sorties. There are multiple foundry projects to improve your interceptors. There are also three consumables that remain from Vanilla.

As you progress, each type of UFO's statistics also increase, from general 'health' to firing rates, as to keep you on your toes; so don't expect to ever truly dominate the skies. Plus with the added variables to air-interception, there is no clear-cut "UFO X can be brought down by Interceptor Y" table. As such, the Long War's [[UFOs_(Long_War)|UFO]] page will be your general guide for how--- or if-- to attempt to engage these potent UFOs.

If the aliens send a UFO and it is damaged, destroyed or lost, the aliens will pay resources for it, limiting their options in the next month.

===Damaging UFOs===
It is not necessary to shoot down enemy UFOs in order to prevent them from completing their mission. Doing damage to them is sometimes enough to spoil their plans or reduce their effectiveness. The damage that UFO sustains is stored between interceptions, therefore multiple interception attempts is a good idea to limit the damage to your own Air Force. When a player does more than 50% damage to a UFO, you will start seeing explosion effects around it.

Some UFOs will wander about a country's airspace before zooming off. For these, it is sufficient to get the yellow effect described above. Those effects signify that UFO sustained enough damage to prevent it from completing its mission, such as an Anti-Satellite hunt. Note however that you still have a chance to prevent the UFO's mission while doing less than 50% damage, which is simply linear (i.e., the UFO abort mission chance is 0% at full health, 100% at 50% health, and in 2x% general at (100-x)% health). Otherwise, when they leave detectable airspace (whether you have a satellite over the target country or not), there will be a notification of the damage they did in the minor notices that play alongside the Hologlobe during in-game time progression.

Other UFOs will have a set flight path, and a narrow window of opportunity to intercept: to disrupt these missions entirely, these need to be shot out of the sky. Cases like this include Assault Carriers and Abductors.

Long War mod brings back a mechanic from previous generations of XCOM: UFOs can now have full DOA crashes (with minimal Alloy recovery, and no corpses or other artifacts), so in some cases you may want to pull your punches. To compensate, the Council will give cash rewards for UFOs obliterated in flight. The harder hitting weapons have a greater chance of reducing UFOs to a pile of smelted alloys.

According to johnnylump on the [http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2967954-beta-15e-final-feedback/page-41 Nexus Forums],

* When a UFO lands it is either conducting a harvest mission (gain resources) or a research mission (gain research). Research missions happen only in countries with satellites -- this is an alien recon-in-force that's a direct attempt to engage XCOM.

* Harvest missions *try* to avoid countries with satellites, with a greater chance when alien aggro is high, but they pay a resource penalty when they do (representing a second-best, safer option.)

* Damage to UFOs, or losses on the ground, have no bearing on research points or resources gained from the mission ... if the UFO survives, it gets full value.

* Damage to UFOs in the air does deduct resources as a repair cost, which is calculated separately from harvest gains.

===Interceptor Weapons and Stances===
Air-to-air weapons now have three main damage statistics - Damage, Rate of Fire, and Armor Penetration. UFOs have different armor levels, which reduces the damage done by a weapon if its armor penetration isn't high enough. For example, you start with a choice between Avalanche missiles (medium damage, low armor penetration) and Stingray missiles (low damage, medium armor penetration). Avalanches will be better against unarmored and very lightly armored UFOs, while Stingrays will be better against more armored UFOs.

When launching you can set a combat stance for your interceptors as they launch on a mission:
* Aggressive gives +15% to hit for both you and the UFO. You may not use the dodge consumable when aggressive.
* Balanced plays out like normal.
* Defensive gives -15% to hit for both you and the UFO. You may not use the auto-hit consumable when defensive.
Mathematically and not accounting for interception time, this means that Aggressive is the most efficient stance when your Interceptor aim is lower than UFO aim, while Defensive is strongest when your Interceptor aim is higher than UFO aim. These effects are stronger the bigger the difference.
However, Interception time is an issue as UFOs will just leave after some time. Obviously, Aggressive is the most time-effective stance.

===UFO Flight Patterns===
UFOs can fly at three altitudes: "High", "Low" and "NOE" ("Nap of the Earth,"). The altitude is a clue of what mission the UFO is going on - UFOs flying at NOE altitude are most likely to land, are performing bombing runs, or will generate an Abduction or Terror mission immediately upon arriving at their destination. UFOs at high altitude are most likely to be hunting satellites. UFOs at low altitude are likely to be scouting satellites, so they must be dealt with. Unless playing in Ironman, you may want to see if a UFO will land before shooting it down (and reload if it does not): while a landed UFO is always more dangerous, an intact UFO and it's material components is a valuable prize, given how fragile Power Sources and Flight Computers are from being shot down in Long War.

Once you successfully raid a UFO type, either landed or crash landed, you can research that craft for a damage bonus against it in future.

===Strategic Plan===
* You start with the Avalanche and Stingray missiles. These will work for small and medium craft for a while until Aliens research better upgrades for their craft.
* After some time sticking with conventional weapons will leave you totally outgunned. Next you'll want to upgrade to Laser and Phoenix cannons. Laser Cannons are built for accuracy, so a pilot can still reliably hit UFOs on Balanced or Defensive stance. The Coilgun is built for armor penetration and higher rate of fire. You would likely need multiple interceptions with frequent use of boost modules to reliably bring down larger UFOs.
* The Plasma Cannons need to be built from Alien Rifles. Once the Mutons start fielding them, you would want to build up a cache of those items to convert to plasma cannons for your Interceptors. The EMP Cannon is built from 1 Sectopod wreck each. It has a higher rate of fire and lower damage than Plasma which increases the chance of UFOs not being destroyed outright. It also increases the chance for more resources to remain intact for UFO crash-site missions.
* Last, but certainly not least, the Fusion Lance is the most powerful air to air weapon that can only be used by Firestorms. They're built from Fusion Cores, and the only way to get Fusion Cores is to take down Battleships and Assault Carriers... or save the cores from [[Slingshot_DLC_(EU2012)|Slingshot]] mission. Though once you do get them set up, you would have a good chance to disrupt even the Terror missions.

===Interception Strategy===
* You can have more than six interceptors when you defend one continent. store your spare interceptors on the other continents and make them rotate.
* Choose an appropriate stance based on your equipped weapon, researched upgrades, and UFO type.
* Always be prepared to cancel an interception if the engagement is not going well for you. Losing an aircraft with an expensive weapons can be devastating to your resources.
* Consider aborting interception if your first shot hits while UFO misses. You can refuel within an hour and try again or send another bird out with the same hit and run tactics.
* Pressing escape instantly after aborting, reselecting mission control and the UFO will allow you to send a new interceptor out without having to wait for the first one to fly back to base. If the interceptor you aborted with wasn't damaged, you can even send the same interceptor back mid-air and instantly re-engage, without having to fly back & forth and refuel.
* Consider aborting when a satellite hunter displays explosion effects. You have prevented the destruction of the satellite, so you might not want to risk additional damage.
* Use modules in tough situations when you need an extra boost to get the job done.
* Have an idea of how many interceptions are possible before UFO completes its mission or attempts to escape. For example Scouts usually can only be engaged twice with Ravens.
* If/once you get enough EMP Cannons to be distributed throughout each continent's squadron, remember that higher damage weapons have a greater chance to outright destroy enemy craft. Plan your engagements around that fact and consider which ground tactical missions you would rather go on.
** Consider saving craft equipped with more damaging weapons to go against larger UFOs, while EMPing the smaller craft may be a better risk/reward scenario, given that their full compliment of aliens won't be much larger than if shot down with other weapons.
* Late-game, you may find that the aliens favor sending more and the larger UFOs to one continent in particular (such as the continent that got the first Alien Base, or the one with XCOM HQ), meaning that you'll remained burdened by repair times: simply cycle out damaged fighters with fresh fighters from other continents.
** Transit time puts repair times on pause, but transfer time will almost always be far less than the days it'll take to repair a single fighter.
** This will also help you by evening out experience between your pilots, and spreading them out between each continent, so you don't get blindsided by, say, a Battleship appearing in a continent with an inexperienced squadron.
* The modules are much more worthwhile-- nearly essential-- in Long War. As said, Dodge cannot be used in an aggressive stance and Aim cannot be used in a defensive stance. And as they do take time to build, it pays to maintain a stock of them.
** The Aim module is fairly cheap, and is useful throughout a campaign. Keep a large stock of Floater corpses to make these. While an aggressive stance means that all shots have more accuracy, using an Aim module early in a normal stance dogfight means drawing first blood while being a little harder to be hit yourself.
** The Boost module can be used in any stance, and only extends time (as all air-to-air weapons now are counted as 'long range', approach reduction time no longer is affected). More useful in early game, when you need more time to do enough damage with the weaker weapons and less experienced pilots.
** The Dodge module is exceedingly useful, and still hard to make, due to the necessity of Cyberdisc wrecks needed to construct them.

==Damage Calculations==
*Armor Mitigation = 0.05 * (Target Armor - Armor Penetration)
**0 is the minimum Armor Mitigation and 0.95 is the maximum
*Base Damage = Weapon Damage * (1 - Armor Mitigation)
*Crit Chance = (Armor Penetration - Target Armor) / 2
**5% is the minimum Crit Chance and 25% is the maximum
*A successful Crit multiplies damage by 2
*total damage is then randomized to between 100% and 150% of its current value.
*For XCOM Aircraft:
**If the appropriate UFO analysis has been researched, total damage is multiplied by 1.1
**total damage is also multiplied by (Pilot Kills / 100) + 1

Examples:
* Avalanche Missiles (340 damage, 0 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): no armor is penetrated, so 12×5=60% of damage is blocked, and the avalanche has an effective damage of 136.
* Laser Cannon (290 damage, 5 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): armor mitigation value of 12-5=7. Consequently, 7×5=35% of the damage is blocked, and the cannon has an effective damage of 188.
* Stingray Missiles (200 damage, 10 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): armor mitigation value of 12-10=2. Only 10% of damage is blocked, the stingray has an effective damage of 180.

Note that in the above example while the Laser Cannon and Stingray Missiles are about equal on a per-hit basis, the Laser Cannon is more effective in combat due to its higher rate of fire and higher accuracy.

|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Scout.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Scout'''|| Low || None || The speedy Scout-class UFO is fortunately within Earth's native capabilities to shoot down ... on occasion. It appears to be used for general reconnaissance, resource-gathering and research.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Fighter.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Fighter'''|| Low || Light || The alien Fighter, while similar in outward appearance to the scout, is much better protected. Armor-piercing weapons like our Stingray missiles will be helpful in bringing these craft down. This class of craft is used primarily for air raids and anti-satellite operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Raider.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Raider'''|| Moderate || Very Light || The Raider class of UFO seems to be a multirole craft that thus suffers in combat power. The aliens appear to use it for reconnaissance, research and resource-gathering operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Destroyer.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Destroyer'''|| Moderate || Moderate || The deadly Destroyer present a much greater threat to our aircraft than its sister class of ships. Armor-piercing weapons are required to defeat this craft. It appears to primarily be used for air raids and anti-satellite operations, although we may see it conduct reconnaissance missions as well. Our analysts note the presence of unused hardpoints on some images of this craft, so we should look out for upgraded versions with even more killing power.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Abductor.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Abductor'''|| High || Heavy || Abductors appear to be much better protected than other ships of this size. Perhaps the aliens particularly value the abduction and research missions they are used for.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Harvester.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Harvester'''|| High || Moderate || The Harvester class of UFO seems to have one role -- to recover important biological materials and minerals from Earth in support of other alien operations. We should try to interdict alien harvest operations whenever possible to slow the alien advance. These craft may be vulnerable to a concentrated attack.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Transport.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Transport'''|| Very High || Heavy || This ponderously slow craft will be a tough nut to crack. It appears to be primarily used in alien terrestrial resource-gathering but could also be used in support of other major alien operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_TerrorShip.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Terror Ship'''|| Very High || Heavy || The rarely encountered Terror Ship appears suited for rapid deployment of alien shock troops. They appear to presage alien terror missions, but they may be used for alien research on XCOM as well.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_AssaultCarrier.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Assault Carrier'''|| Highest || Heavy || The assault carrier, while built on a battleship hull, lacks some of its sister's firepower and may be easier to shoot down. Nevertheless, we expect to see the aliens use this craft only against high-value targets, so it should be taken seriously whenever it is detected.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Battleship.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Battleship'''|| Highest || Very Heavy || An unbelievably dangerous piece of hardware, these UFOs never appear to land but are used in bombing, anti-satellite and air superiority roles.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Overseer.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Overseer'''|| High || Very Heavy || This class of ship appears to be used as a airborne command center for the ethereal race of alien. Only our strongest weapons will be able to penetrate its armor.

Demes: /* Damaging UFOs */

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b14}}
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>

==Overview==
UFOs are tougher, faster, and much deadlier in Long War. Along with that, your crafts and armaments are significantly less potent, at least at first. You will need to cycle your craft regularly like your soldiers. UFO kills will grant experience to your pilots and provide a bonus to accuracy. Your pilots will learn UFO flight patterns and movements and therefore will become much better at shooting down alien craft. Interceptor experience provides +3% to hit per kill (up to + 30%) and +1% damage per kill (with no top limit). Also, you will find that both your craft and UFOs may sometimes get 'critical hits', with UFOs being downed in a few hits, or your undamaged Interceptor immediately going into near-full red damage indicator.

At the start of the game your fresh pilots are equipped with Avalanche Missiles, which now have an abysmal 40% accuracy. While it is still possible to down the first Scout with one Interceptor, this is an incredibly unlikely event. It's more probable that it would take two, or even three interceptions to bring down even the most basic alien craft. It is also a good idea to switch some of your aircraft armaments to Stingray missiles at the game start, details on that below.

Players should exert caution and pick and choose their air battles carefully. You will not be able to bring down every single enemy UFO. Sometimes attempting high risk interceptions against tough targets would be detrimental to your campaign due to the highly unpredictable nature of the engagements at the start of the game. Your early game goal should be to get experience for some of your pilots and advance your air-warfare technology in order to keep aliens at bay on the battleground for the Earth's skies. In case you overreach too early, you might quickly find yourself crippled with long repair times and unable to stop alien operations.

There are Research and Engineering projects that will assist in aerial sorties. There are multiple foundry projects to improve your interceptors. There are also three consumables that remain from Vanilla.

As you progress, each type of UFO's statistics also increase, from general 'health' to firing rates, as to keep you on your toes; so don't expect to ever truly dominate the skies. Plus with the added variables to air-interception, there is no clear-cut "UFO X can be brought down by Interceptor Y" table. As such, the Long War's [[UFOs_(Long_War)|UFO]] page will be your general guide for how--- or if-- to attempt to engage these potent UFOs.

If the aliens send a UFO and it is damaged, destroyed or lost, the aliens will pay resources for it, limiting their options in the next month.

===Damaging UFOs===
It is not necessary to shoot down enemy UFOs in order to prevent them from completing their mission. Doing damage to them is sometimes enough to spoil their plans or reduce their effectiveness. The damage that UFO sustains is stored between interceptions, therefore multiple interception attempts is a good idea to limit the damage to your own Air Force. When a player does more than 50% damage to a UFO, you will start seeing explosion effects around it.

Some UFOs will wander about a country's airspace before zooming off. For these, it is sufficient to get the yellow effect described above. Those effects signify that UFO sustained enough damage to prevent it from completing its mission, such as an Anti-Satellite hunt. Note however that you still have a chance to prevent the UFO's mission while doing less than 50% damage, which is simply linear (i.e., the UFO abort mission chance is 0% at full health, 100% at 50% health, and in 2x% general at (100-x)% health). Otherwise, when they leave detectable airspace (whether you have a satellite over the target country or not), there will be a notification of the damage they did in the minor notices that play alongside the Hologlobe during in-game time progression.

Other UFOs will have a set flight path, and a narrow window of opportunity to intercept: to disrupt these missions entirely, these need to be shot out of the sky. Cases like this include Assault Carriers and Abductors.

Long War mod brings back a mechanic from previous generations of XCOM: UFOs can now have full DOA crashes (with minimal Alloy recovery, and no corpses or other artifacts), so in some cases you may want to pull your punches. To compensate, the Council will give cash rewards for UFOs obliterated in flight. The harder hitting weapons have a greater chance of reducing UFOs to a pile of smelted alloys.

According to johnnylump on the [http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2967954-beta-15e-final-feedback/page-41 Nexus Forums],

* When a UFO lands it is either conducting a harvest mission (gain resources) or a research mission (gain research). Research missions happen only in countries with satellites -- this is an alien recon-in-force that's a direct attempt to engage XCOM.

* Harvest missions *try* to avoid countries with satellites, with a greater chance when alien aggro is high, but they pay a resource penalty when they do (representing a second-best, safer option.)

* Damage to UFOs, or losses on the ground, have no bearing on research points or resources gained from the mission ... if the UFO survives, it gets full value.

* Damage to UFOs in the air does deduct resources as a repair cost, which is calculated separately from harvest gains.

===Interceptor Weapons and Stances===
Air-to-air weapons now have three main damage statistics - Damage, Rate of Fire, and Armor Penetration. UFOs have different armor levels, which reduces the damage done by a weapon if its armor penetration isn't high enough. For example, you start with a choice between Avalanche missiles (medium damage, low armor penetration) and Stingray missiles (low damage, medium armor penetration). Avalanches will be better against unarmored and very lightly armored UFOs, while Stingrays will be better against more armored UFOs.

When launching you can set a combat stance for your interceptors as they launch on a mission:
* Aggressive gives +15% to hit for both you and the UFO. You may not use the dodge consumable when aggressive.
* Balanced plays out like normal.
* Defensive gives -15% to hit for both you and the UFO. You may not use the auto-hit consumable when defensive.
Mathematically and not accounting for interception time, this means that Aggressive is the most efficient stance when your Interceptor aim is lower than UFO aim, while Defensive is strongest when your Interceptor aim is higher than UFO aim. These effects are stronger the bigger the difference.
However, Interception time is an issue as UFOs will just leave after some time. Obviously, Aggressive is the most time-effective stance.

===UFO Flight Patterns===
UFOs can fly at three altitudes: "High", "Low" and "NOE" ("Nap of the Earth,"). The altitude is a clue of what mission the UFO is going on - UFOs flying at NOE altitude are most likely to land, are performing bombing runs, or will generate an Abduction or Terror mission immediately upon arriving at their destination. UFOs at high altitude are most likely to be hunting satellites. UFOs at low altitude are likely to be scouting satellites, so they must be dealt with. Unless playing in Ironman, you may want to see if a UFO will land before shooting it down (and reload if it does not): while a landed UFO is always more dangerous, an intact UFO and it's material components is a valuable prize, given how fragile Power Sources and Flight Computers are from being shot down in Long War.

Once you successfully raid a UFO type, either landed or crash landed, you can research that craft for a damage bonus against it in future.

===Strategic Plan===
* You start with the Avalanche and Stingray missiles. These will work for small and medium craft for a while until Aliens research better upgrades for their craft.
* After some time sticking with conventional weapons will leave you totally outgunned. Next you'll want to upgrade to Laser and Phoenix cannons. Laser Cannons are built for accuracy, so a pilot can still reliably hit UFOs on Balanced or Defensive stance. The Coilgun is built for armor penetration and higher rate of fire. You would likely need multiple interceptions with frequent use of boost modules to reliably bring down larger UFOs.
* The Plasma Cannons need to be built from Alien Rifles. Once the Mutons start fielding them, you would want to build up a cache of those items to convert to plasma cannons for your Interceptors. The EMP Cannon is built from 1 Sectopod wreck each. It has a higher rate of fire and lower damage than Plasma which increases the chance of UFOs not being destroyed outright. It also increases the chance for more resources to remain intact for UFO crash-site missions.
* Last, but certainly not least, the Fusion Lance is the most powerful air to air weapon that can only be used by Firestorms. They're built from Fusion Cores, and the only way to get Fusion Cores is to take down Battleships and Assault Carriers... or save the cores from [[Slingshot_DLC_(EU2012)|Slingshot]] mission. Though once you do get them set up, you would have a good chance to disrupt even the Terror missions.

===Interception Strategy===
* You can have more than six interceptors when you defend one continent. store your spare interceptors on the other continents and make them rotate.
* Choose an appropriate stance based on your equipped weapon, researched upgrades, and UFO type.
* Always be prepared to cancel an interception if the engagement is not going well for you. Losing an aircraft with an expensive weapons can be devastating to your resources.
* Consider aborting interception if your first shot hits while UFO misses. You can refuel within an hour and try again or send another bird out with the same hit and run tactics.
* Consider aborting when a satellite hunter displays explosion effects. You have prevented the destruction of the satellite, so you might not want to risk additional damage.
* Use modules in tough situations when you need an extra boost to get the job done.
* Have an idea of how many interceptions are possible before UFO completes its mission or attempts to escape. For example Scouts usually can only be engaged twice with Ravens.
* If/once you get enough EMP Cannons to be distributed throughout each continent's squadron, remember that higher damage weapons have a greater chance to outright destroy enemy craft. Plan your engagements around that fact and consider which ground tactical missions you would rather go on.
** Consider saving craft equipped with more damaging weapons to go against larger UFOs, while EMPing the smaller craft may be a better risk/reward scenario, given that their full compliment of aliens won't be much larger than if shot down with other weapons.
* Late-game, you may find that the aliens favor sending more and the larger UFOs to one continent in particular (such as the continent that got the first Alien Base, or the one with XCOM HQ), meaning that you'll remained burdened by repair times: simply cycle out damaged fighters with fresh fighters from other continents.
** Transit time puts repair times on pause, but transfer time will almost always be far less than the days it'll take to repair a single fighter.
** This will also help you by evening out experience between your pilots, and spreading them out between each continent, so you don't get blindsided by, say, a Battleship appearing in a continent with an inexperienced squadron.
* The modules are much more worthwhile-- nearly essential-- in Long War. As said, Dodge cannot be used in an aggressive stance and Aim cannot be used in a defensive stance. And as they do take time to build, it pays to maintain a stock of them.
** The Aim module is fairly cheap, and is useful throughout a campaign. Keep a large stock of Floater corpses to make these. While an aggressive stance means that all shots have more accuracy, using an Aim module early in a normal stance dogfight means drawing first blood while being a little harder to be hit yourself.
** The Boost module can be used in any stance, and only extends time (as all air-to-air weapons now are counted as 'long range', approach reduction time no longer is affected). More useful in early game, when you need more time to do enough damage with the weaker weapons and less experienced pilots.
** The Dodge module is exceedingly useful, and still hard to make, due to the necessity of Cyberdisc wrecks needed to construct them.

==Damage Calculations==
*Armor Mitigation = 0.05 * (Target Armor - Armor Penetration)
**0 is the minimum Armor Mitigation and 0.95 is the maximum
*Base Damage = Weapon Damage * (1 - Armor Mitigation)
*Crit Chance = (Armor Penetration - Target Armor) / 2
**5% is the minimum Crit Chance and 25% is the maximum
*A successful Crit multiplies damage by 2
*total damage is then randomized to between 100% and 150% of its current value.
*For XCOM Aircraft:
**If the appropriate UFO analysis has been researched, total damage is multiplied by 1.1
**total damage is also multiplied by (Pilot Kills / 100) + 1

Examples:
* Avalanche Missiles (340 damage, 0 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): no armor is penetrated, so 12×5=60% of damage is blocked, and the avalanche has an effective damage of 136.
* Laser Cannon (290 damage, 5 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): armor mitigation value of 12-5=7. Consequently, 7×5=35% of the damage is blocked, and the cannon has an effective damage of 188.
* Stingray Missiles (200 damage, 10 armor penetration) vs Fighter (armor 12): armor mitigation value of 12-10=2. Only 10% of damage is blocked, the stingray has an effective damage of 180.

Note that in the above example while the Laser Cannon and Stingray Missiles are about equal on a per-hit basis, the Laser Cannon is more effective in combat due to its higher rate of fire and higher accuracy.

|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Scout.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Scout'''|| Low || None || The speedy Scout-class UFO is fortunately within Earth's native capabilities to shoot down ... on occasion. It appears to be used for general reconnaissance, resource-gathering and research.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Fighter.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Fighter'''|| Low || Light || The alien Fighter, while similar in outward appearance to the scout, is much better protected. Armor-piercing weapons like our Stingray missiles will be helpful in bringing these craft down. This class of craft is used primarily for air raids and anti-satellite operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Raider.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Raider'''|| Moderate || Very Light || The Raider class of UFO seems to be a multirole craft that thus suffers in combat power. The aliens appear to use it for reconnaissance, research and resource-gathering operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Destroyer.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Destroyer'''|| Moderate || Moderate || The deadly Destroyer present a much greater threat to our aircraft than its sister class of ships. Armor-piercing weapons are required to defeat this craft. It appears to primarily be used for air raids and anti-satellite operations, although we may see it conduct reconnaissance missions as well. Our analysts note the presence of unused hardpoints on some images of this craft, so we should look out for upgraded versions with even more killing power.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Abductor.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Abductor'''|| High || Heavy || Abductors appear to be much better protected than other ships of this size. Perhaps the aliens particularly value the abduction and research missions they are used for.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Harvester.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Harvester'''|| High || Moderate || The Harvester class of UFO seems to have one role -- to recover important biological materials and minerals from Earth in support of other alien operations. We should try to interdict alien harvest operations whenever possible to slow the alien advance. These craft may be vulnerable to a concentrated attack.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Transport.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Transport'''|| Very High || Heavy || This ponderously slow craft will be a tough nut to crack. It appears to be primarily used in alien terrestrial resource-gathering but could also be used in support of other major alien operations.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_TerrorShip.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Terror Ship'''|| Very High || Heavy || The rarely encountered Terror Ship appears suited for rapid deployment of alien shock troops. They appear to presage alien terror missions, but they may be used for alien research on XCOM as well.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_AssaultCarrier.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Assault Carrier'''|| Highest || Heavy || The assault carrier, while built on a battleship hull, lacks some of its sister's firepower and may be easier to shoot down. Nevertheless, we expect to see the aliens use this craft only against high-value targets, so it should be taken seriously whenever it is detected.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Battleship.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Battleship'''|| Highest || Very Heavy || An unbelievably dangerous piece of hardware, these UFOs never appear to land but are used in bombing, anti-satellite and air superiority roles.
|-align="center"
|<div style="background:#333333">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Overseer.png|center|128x64px]]</div> '''Overseer'''|| High || Very Heavy || This class of ship appears to be used as a airborne command center for the ethereal race of alien. Only our strongest weapons will be able to penetrate its armor.

Cover (Long War)

2015-09-17T20:58:31Z

Demes:

In Long War, cover works much the same as it usually does, but cover also gives you [[Damage Reduction (Long War)|damage reduction]]. Low cover gives 30 Defense (changed from vanilla), as well as .66 damage reduction (i.e. 2/3 chance to reduce damage by 1 and 1/3 chance to reduce damage by 0). Hard or High cover gives 45 Defense (also changed from vanilla) as well as 1 damage reduction. Hunkering down doubles Defense and damage reduction.

Cover is generally a little tougher to destroy than it is in vanilla. Explosives do less damage the further an object is from the center of the explosion, so you'll find explosives no longer reliably blow up everything highlighted in red like they tend to do in vanilla. Cover near the center of the explosion usually is destroyed however. Engineers with the Sapper perk have a bonus to destroying cover, meaning their grenades will blow up more of the cover in the area of effect than other soldiers'.

High cover also usually has the advantage of breaking line of sight (high cover provided by tow trucks being an exception), provided that the soldier isn't standing on a corner and peeking out.

Overwatch (EU2012)

2015-09-17T20:55:39Z

Demes: Slight correction on dashing bonus

A soldier or alien with a remaining action can enter Overwatch (default hotkey Y). This ends the soldier's turn, but allows them to shoot at the first enemy that moves without any [[Cover (EU2012)|cover]] within their vision range during the enemy turn, albeit at a [[Aim (EU2012)|Aim]] penalty and without dealing critical hits. Firing on Overwatch at Dashing units also increases the Aim penalty.

The Penalty is a 0.7 modifier for Aim for any shots. The reduced chance to hit is further reduced again to 0.5 if the target is dashing. E.g., a soldier with 100 Aim has a 70% Chance to Hit on Overwatch, further reduced to 50% with a dashing target.

Some [[Classes_(EU2012)|class abilities]] alter or improve various aspects and properties of Overwatch. These include Close Combat Specialist ([[Assault_(EU2012)|Assault]]), Rapid Reaction ([[Heavy (EU2012)|Heavy]]), Squadsight ([[Sniper (EU2012)|Sniper]]), Opportunist ([[Sniper (EU2012)|Sniper]]), Covering Fire ([[Support (EU2012)|Support]]), and Sentinel ([[Support (EU2012)|Support]]). While using Suppression the unit will also be given an Overwatch shot if the target tries to move.

==Purposes==
Overwatch can serve two tactical purposes:
*'''To keep an enemy unit pinned down or risk a reaction shot'''
**To keep them from occupying key positions that allow them to flank your own units or better firing positions.
*'''To ambush unseen enemy units as they walk into the soldier's field of vision'''
**To cover chokepoints such as corridors and flanks.
**To shoot at just-activated alien packs before they reach cover after opening doors or stepping (with another unit) into their line of sight.

==Overwatch and Reaction Fire==
The differences between Overwatch and the [[Reaction fire triggers|Reaction Fire]] mechanic from the older games are:
* A unit must be specifically ordered to enter Overwatch every turn you want it used - simply leaving units with spare actions when ending turn will not allow them to fire on enemies (the only exception being when an enemy moves within the four-tile range needed to trigger a Close Combat Specialist [[Assault_(EU2012)|Assault]], who will then fire ''even if'' his weapon is empty). Reaction Fire, on the other hand, can only be prevented by draining a unit of [[Time Units]], moving it where it can't see enemies off-turn, or by specifically disarming it.
* Overwatch is only triggered by enemy movement, not attacks, unless the overwatcher is a [[Support (EU2012)|Support]] with the Covering Fire ability. On Reaction Fire the unit would fire at all sorts of actions (firing, moving, kneeling, etc.)
* Overwatch will only fire once, regardless of how many actions the unit still had left and it needs to be specifically activated. On Reaction Fire unit could automatically fire as many shots as long as they had Time Units left. On Overwatch it is required for the soldier to have any of these abilities to be able to fire more than one shot: Sentinel ([[Support (EU2012)|Support]] class), Rapid Reaction ([[Heavy (EU2012)|Heavy]]) or Close Combat Specialist ([[Assault_(EU2012)|Assault]]).
* Overwatch, when active, will always fire the very moment an enemy moves into a valid position to fire at. Reaction Fire, on the other hand, may not occur if the moving unit has higher [[Time_Units|TU]] and/or [[Reactions]] figures (keeping in mind Time Units were reduced with every tile travelled). It also allowed most forms of movement to be made safely behind a guarding unit so long as he wasn't facing in the required direction to see it.
* All available units on Overwatch will fire on an enemy the moment they see it - at once. This is only time in the game multiple units may perform simultaneous attacks. Reaction Fire may only be performed by one unit at a time, meaning multiple shots are never "wasted" on units who only need one to go down.

* NOTE that a unit moving to a square that an enemy unit on Overwatch can see, will NOT trigger a shot if it's the last square of movement. This means you can, and aliens frequently will, sneak up to a corner, not trigger Overwatch fire, and proceed to murder with extreme prejudice. Less frequently, you can jump up, climb up, or drop down, and then stop and shoot, as long as the square being moved to is the last square of movement, and the only square in line of sight of the Overwatching unit.

==Tips==
* NOTE that the only way to take an alien out of Overwatch is to kill it or suppress it. Blowing them up or shooting them does not remove Overwatch.
* Moving into an Overwatching unit's line of sight doesn't trigger a shot unless you ''continue'' moving. Stepping up to a corner of a building, for example, will allow you to see what's around it without drawing fire - be wary of laying Overwatch traps for enemies on such spots, as they'll instead use it as an excuse to take a free flanking shot on you.
* When Overwatching be aware of what accuracy percentage you are likely to get. It is better to hunker down and double your defense bonus rather than risk missing with a 20% shot. Especially early on, when fielding rookies with low accuracy and weak weapons, it isn't worth the risk.
* The Opportunist perk turns a Squad Sight [[Sniper (EU2012)|Sniper]] into of the deadliest units in the game by removing the Aim penalty and allowing for critical hits, and is also a great lookout for stopping enemy thrusts with one shot.
** Overwatch is probably a good idea if your Squadsight Sniper can't draw line of sight to an enemy, but has been otherwise attacking with Squadsight. Since the enemies can't see the Sniper, and thus won't know that you've activated Overwatch, there's a much better chance of the Overwatch triggering.
***However, in [[XCOM: Enemy Within DLC (EU2012)|Enemy Within]], a sniper triggering Overwatch through Squadsight can no longer score critical hits, making this somewhat less useful.
* Close Combat Specialist gives as many shots as enemies step into less than four squares of the [[Assault_(EU2012)|Assault]]. This ability also gives Overwatch shots during your turn so it can be used by shooting at [[Muton (EU2012)#Muton Berserker|Beserkers]] (who get to take an instant, free non-attack move upon taking damage) and lead them in the direction of a unit with the perk.
* The most efficient way to deploy a wall of Overwatch shooters is to place them staggered so that they'll fire separately at the alien rather than all of them spotting it and shooting at the same time. This also allows them to fire at different aliens rather than only engaging one out of a set of multiple attackers. However, in some situations it may be more worthwhile to focus all shots at the same time to drop better-armored targets (such as [[Sectopod_(EU2012)|Sectopods]]).
* Due to the aim penalty, Overwatch can be more effectively used to "pin down" aliens while your squad manoeuvres, rather than for direct damage. An aliens will never (or very rarely) move if it sees an agent enter Overwatch (this holds true for aliens under suppressing fire as well). This can be exploited to great effect: it allows you to move your agents into flanking positions, while at the same time preventing the aliens from doing the same to you. Please note that aliens that do NOT see the agent go into Overwatch will still freely move, and will more than likely trigger a reaction shot. If all your squad's reaction shots are triggered, then the aliens will once again move freely, so care must be taken when setting them up for this tactic.
* On PC versions, there is a manipulatable bug with Overwatch, that can be of particular use to Squadsight (ie; Not-Snapshot) Snipers (or any trooper with an empty primary weapon) that involves going into Overwatch while the soldier is holding their pistol weapon. To trigger the bug, either manually reselect the Overwatching soldier and switch their weapon back to the primary, or use the hotkey to command that soldier into overwatch, and quickly click on the primary weapon icon in the bottom left corner before the camera moves on.
* In vanilla Enemy Unknown, there is an AI glitch for aliens: if they see two or more in-cover soldiers, at least one is flanking them, and they see either one go into overwatch, their AI locks up and they'll skip their next action. This is an excellent method to close in for a [[Arc_Thrower_(EU2012)|stun]], or to bring a lower-level soldier around to score a kill for XP.
** This is 'fixed' in Enemy Within: aliens and EXALT agents will most often move and risk non-Crit Overwatch damage rather than take flanking Crit shots.

Gene Mods (Long War)

2015-09-17T19:57:22Z

Demes: /* Tactical Advice */ its neural damping

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b15}}
[[File: Mutare Ad Custodiam blue.png|left|180px|]]
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>

Gene mods work similarly to how they work in vanilla, though the set of available mods is different. Please note the following:
* Secondary heart does not protect the Volunteer from mortal wounds. A fatal shot will kill him/her instead of triggering the perk. This behavior only pertains to the final mission, it is a vanilla mechanic.
* Neural Damping is unavailable to Psi-trained troops.
* It is also possible to "switch" between any of two GeneMod types within each slot categories for a cost.
* Gene modded troopers lose their gene modded benefits when becoming a MEC. MEC troopers cannot get gene mods.
* Mimetic Skin (from EW) has been replaced by Iron Skin. Although, it is still available (even if slightly nerfed!) as a Scout perk (Concealment).
* Adrenal Neurosympathy grants +10 aim, +5 crit, +2 mob, and removes panic from all soldiers within LoS when triggered. The buff lasts for 2 turns.
* Firing a rocket always counts as a miss, activating the Hyper-Reactive Pupils bonus. However the aim bonus does not reduce rocket scatter.

== Tactical Advice ==

Gene mods are relatively cheap for their benefit, both in terms of cash and, to a lesser extent, Meld. But bear in mind there are several logistical matters to be aware of:
* The mechanics for how much Meld you are likely to get per mission at a given point in a campaign. In short: the better you're doing, the less you'll get.
* The number of soldiers you have & are swapping out from fatigue. Thus, each modded soldier spends less time out in the field, and vice versa: each time you go into the field, you might not have a modded soldier to go into it-- unless you try to mod every applicable soldier (which you won't have the Meld to do).
* Other projects with priority that use Meld, such as MEC suits which can be freely swapped between MEC soldiers between missions.

Basically, you may be playing your soldiers (most of them and/or most of the time) in Vanilla EU style of going without mods: gene mods will then be for when you can afford to splurge on them. So, what you may want to do instead is have a dedicated 'Mod Squad' of soldiers who'll be the focus for genetic enhancement, and specialize and deploy them individually with your Strike team depending on which type of mission you're about to head out on. For example: send a front-line soldier or two with Macrophages and Muscle Fiber on Thin men-infested Council Missions, or Dampened soldiers if facing an Ethereal on a UFO-- but Bioelectric soldiers can stay home if the Hyperwave Uplink says there's no Seekers.

Also, have a bit of consideration for who may be in your final squad for the Temple Ship: choose them early and mod as you go, or pick them later and just save enough Meld to dump mods into them towards the end.

* '''Neural Damping''' vs '''Smart Macrophages'''
As mentioned, Dampening cannot be placed on soldiers that are already Psionic. You may want to put this on soldiers that have good skills and a high Aim score but, by (lack of) leveling or surviving Critical Wounds, do not have very high will. Then at worst, their low Will score may make them 'bait' for Sectoids and Ethereals, and they'll be stunned for a turn, but it is one of the most Meld-expensive mods.

For everyone else: there's Macrophages. Macrophages are moderately expensive, but have a fairly short tank and fatigue time, making them easy to apply to a large number of soldiers. The +2 health can be a nice boost to your packmaster medkits.

* '''Hyper-reactive Pupils''' vs '''Depth Perception'''
Nearly identical to in EW, the recommendations are the same: Hyper-reactive is great for regular Overwatchers and any soldier with one of the "shoot twice" abilities, Depth Perception for the likes of Snipers flitting around in Archangel Armor. Both are cheap in funds and Meld, and add only a small bit to fatigue.

* '''Secondary Heart''' vs '''Adrenal Neurosympathy'''
Also a similar decision to EW, except for the Secondary Heart now being the most expensive mod. Secondary Heart is best used for protecting your Psionic soldiers and Officers, and their Will score. You'll still be cycling out soldiers, Psionics even more so, there's much less chance for an individual one to get killed/Critically Wounded. Adrenal Neurosympathy gives all-around boosts, but also comes with a longer recovery time.

Secondary heart synergizes well with revive medics, allowing troops to be knocked out and then revived without incurring the will penalty.

* '''Bioelectric Skin''' vs '''Iron Skin'''
As the Battle Scanner is now a free item that, however, takes up an inventory space, this choice comes down to how you want to deal with [[Alien_Life_Forms_(Long_War)#Seeker|Seekers]] in Long War: Battle Scanners or Bioelectric Skin (or neither, and the use of AoE attacks instead). Knowing if an alien is behind that door with Bioelectric Skin can be useful, but it has somewhat limited range, while a Battle Scanner is a thrown object with very significant toss ''and'' scan range, but can't see through obstacles and opens the alien 'Holodoors' if thrown through one. Otherwise, the only high argument against "Iron Skin for everyone!" is the +12 hours to fatigue.

* '''Muscle-fiber Density''' vs '''Adaptive Bone Marrow'''
Both are attractive options, both give a fair penalty to Fatigue time, Marrow's a little cheaper than Muscle Fiber. Otherwise, also nearly the same as vanilla EW. The biggest change LW brings is that the consideration that more aliens means more hits, and perhaps not enough Medikit uses, so Marrow can take up the slack. Muscle Fiber can also be quite useful on covert operatives.

Jaeger (Long War)

Demes: Outdated example builds that are impossible with the current trees.

[[File: Class Jaeger (Long War).png|left|frame|64px|Jaeger]]
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>

MEC variant of the '''Sniper''' class. The Jaeger is designed for fire support, with the best aim progression of any class in the game (better even than a Sniper), and a plethora of offensive perks to increase damage. Jaegers' main drawback are their low HP progression and a poor selection of defensive perks, making them a bit fragile for MECs.

==Tactical Advice==
These MECs are weak enough to be almost squishy. They are not designed for front-line combat roles like the Goliath. Instead '''Squadsight''' and '''In The Zone''' make for an effective damage dealer at mid to long(ish) ranges. They should be treated as Marksman Rifle Scouts, with a higher damage potential.

== Tactical Advice ==
'''Intended Role: ''' "Tank"

With the highest HP progession and plethora of defensive perks, the Goliath acts as the frontline bullet sponge for the rest of the team. It is the one unit that you would want to take fire from the heavy hitting alien units. With the '''Absorption Fields''' perk as the first perk to be available, The Goliath is able to heavily reduce any damage that it receives.

With perks like '''Automated Threat Assessment''', '''Extra Conditioning''', '''Shock- Absorbent Armor''' and '''Damage Control''' it becomes slightly more difficult for aliens to severely hurt the MEC and even if they manage to heavily damage it, the '''Repair Servos''' perk can give it even more survivability, by making it able to repair itself during longer missions.

The Goliath MEC is the only unit that XCOM has available that can reliably be called a tanking unit, as such it can act as a recon unit for the rest of the team, even though it is hampered by its less than stellar mobility. This is why it is good to use it in conjunction with Scouts and Assaults. Use the Scouts to do recon and the Goliath to have the enemies (hopefully) shoot at it, while the assault can go around for a flank.

Sadly the enemy isn't actually obliged to shoot at the Goliath, making its tanking role somewhat situational as enemy units can forego shooting at the MEC that is standing right in front of them, and instead shoot at a soldier in low cover behind the MEC. In this case, equipping short range, high damage weapons such as Kinetic Strike and/or Flamethrowers can make them regret letting your Goliath run free. You will probably want to strike a balance when building your Goliath between defense and offense/utility, since a purely defensively built Goliath will have little to contribute in the event that the aliens ''don't'' decide to attack it. '''Flush''', '''HEAT Ammo''', '''Collateral Damage''' and '''Packmaster''' are prominent offensive and utility perks. '''Advanced Fire Control''', '''Close Combat Specialist''' and '''Covering Fire''' can let the Goliath lock down aliens with the threat of overwatch.

It should be noted that even with their high health, damage reducing and self repairing capabilities, a lone Goliath can still die quite easily during the later parts of the campaign. The most serious threats come from Sectoid swarms, which will deal many small hits that bypass absorption fields, and HEAT loaded bosses, which will hit WAY too hard to tank. It is never a good idea to place the Goliath under a full pod's worth of fire without any assistance.

MECs can be healed by Medikits, so in longer missions a Medic should top off the Goliath between enemy pods 1. With some luck an upgraded Arc Thrower can be used to capture Drones, providing an unlimited source of +3 healing that is amazing for extended missions. The Repair utility of an arc thrower can also be used, but is generally not strong enough to use for primary healing. Another good idea is to give it Alloy belts, maximizing the health it needs to tank. Skills that reduce enemy aim are never a bad idea, but be careful when boosting the Goliath's defense rating above that of the rest of your squad. Doing so will encourage the alien AI to change targets.

Shock-Absorbent Armor takes the Goliath's tanking potential to a whole new level, but must be used very carefully. If the Goliath flanks a unit on the approach, it will frequently run away from the flank and attack outside of range for full damage. Heavier units like Mechtoids and Cyberdiscs are not pressed to flee, but they are not obligated to stay in range of the damage reduction. Do not place the Goliath in a situation where it NEEDS Shock-Absorbent Armor to survive.

The biggest drawback of the Goliath is its rather narrow usability; it has one role which it does extremely well, but it is not as versatile as other MEC classes. Unless you are going to use it for its specific purpose, you might not want to get a Goliath.

1 If time is willing, wait until AFTER repair servos finishes its effect before healing the Goliath. Healing before then will also consume repair servo charges.

==Tactical Advice==

'''Intended Role:''' Frontline Offensive Support

With a decent selection of both offensive and defensive perks, this versatile MEC can lock down aliens with precise overwatch or simply brute force it's way through firefights.

The Valkyrie is nearly identical to the Infantry class in terms of roles and versatility. With '''Light 'em up''' as the first ability, the Valkyrie's primary weapon is its Main Gun.

With perks such as '''Automated Threat Assessment, Rapid Reaction, and Opportunist''' the Valkyrie can excel in Overwatching enemy troops and locking down terrain during firefights. although it sacrifices defensive capabilities for this. With a decent aim progression and it's increased damage output, by virtue of being a MEC, it handily replaces the Infantry's role as the primary Overwatcher during the late game. Although it does not gain HEAT ammo, it does gain Shredder Ammo, making it more effective against non-mechanical combatants, although it can still deal significant damage to mechanical units aswell. As the Valkyrie does not gain the Covering Fire ability, the Valkyrie is best used by letting it fire once and then going into overwatch, forcing the enemies to stay put while others flank them or move up.

With perks such as '''Shredder Ammo, Collateral damage, Ranger and Rapid fire''', the Valkyrie can become incredibly deadly and mobile, taking advantage of elevated positions to shoot down towards entrenched enemies.

As it utilizes its main gun, due to its abilities, it's very important to keep an eye on its ammo reserve. Reloading often and giving it perks and utility items that increases its ammo capacity, ensures that it will never run dry, during a critical moment.

The '''Engineer''' is a unique class that has no equivalent in vanilla XCOM, though they borrow some elements from the Grenadier Heavy and Support classes. Engineers are specialized in the use of grenades, with their starting '''Grenadier''' ability giving them two uses of each damaging grenade item they carry, and a bonus to grenade throwing range, and have several more perks to improve grenades further. Engineers also have access to perks improving their ability to destroy cover, and improving their use of the arc thrower.

== Tactical Advice ==
'''Role''': Offensive Support / Defensive Support

Engineers are a class largely based around items and special abilities. Their starting '''Grenadier''' perk allows them doubled offensive grenades and a throw range bonus, and they can boost their offensive grenades further with '''Sapper''' and '''Bombardier'''. With perks such as '''Smoke Grenade''', '''Dense Smoke''' and '''Smoke and Mirrors''', Engineers can also become extremely proficient with defensive grenades, such as smoke grenades, ghost grenades and flashbangs, since the range bonus from Grenadier and Bombardier applies (Bombardier even works with Battlescanners, which are also available as a perk). Engineers can also enjoy triple uses of the Arc Thrower with the '''Repair''' perk. Unfortunately, all of these roles compete for your limited item slots.

If you choose the '''Fire Rocket''' perk, note that you will be unable to select a sidearm any more. Also bear in mind that Rocket and Shredder Rocket items are restricted to the [[Rocketeer (Long War)|Rocketeer]] class, so an Engineer with a rocket launcher can only ever have the one rocket. On the other hand, with Sapper that one rocket will blow a very big hole in any cover you fire it at.

On the downside, Engineers have the worst aim progression of all classes, so should you manage to exhaust your special abilities Engineers are lacking in offensive ability. Their dependence on items means Engineers are hard pressed to spare an item slot for a defensive item such as Chitin Plating, which, since they need to be near the front to throw their grenades at enemies, can leave them a little lacking in defense.

===Briefing===
''Algariept's advice''

The '''Engineer''' is perhaps the most conservatory class in the entire XCOM. Every class build will depend heavily on the player’s preference but where the '''Infantry''' has two defined paths – the Aggressive approach and the Defensive one, the '''Engineer''' has at least 3 – Capture, Damage grenades and Support grenades. The possibilities for hybrid builds are also quite a few. The '''Engineer''' brings a unique perk to the table – '''Repair'''. Unlike '''Disabling Shot''', this perk cannot be replicated by any craftable equipment. There is a perk that can somewhat substitute it – the '''Packmaster''', but its efficiency when augmenting the Arc Thrower is definitely lower.

The Engineer is so versatile that you’d wish you could take multiple perks from the same rank.

===Perks===
'''Lance Corporal'''

{{Rapid Reaction (Long War)|align=left}}'''Engineers''' have a poor aim progression that can be augmented by the passive bonuses of specific perks. It will take a while for an '''Engineer''' to become reliable when building towards overwatch. There are some creative ways to use '''Rapid Reaction''' very early into a campaign, e.g. if you manage to plant a shotgun '''Engineer''' in the back lines of your enemies, two close range shotgun shots could make short work of two early game enemies. A carbine could also be used to assist a low rank '''Engineer'''. Just keep in mind that if you equip too many soldiers with carbines, your overall squad weapon damage will suffer. Unfortunately, the '''Engineer''' does not have access to '''Opportunist''' or '''Covering Fire''', making the class considerably less adequate at overwatching.

{{Smoke Grenade (Long War)|align=left}}This type of support grenade can be useful in basically every mission. However, it is more of a last resort than a tool that you should rely on constantly. In later months, the smoke grenade can put your squad in a sticky situation. If the defense of your entire squad is amplified and especially if they are sticking closer to each other, aliens and Exalt are much more prone to use grenades. With the vastly expanded range of small items in Long War you will often find yourselves starved on item slots. A perk that removes the need to sacrifice a weapon slot for a specific grenade is a welcome addition to any squad. With this perk your soldier can take an action after throwing a smoke grenade which greatly increases the flexibility of that soldier.

{{Sapper (Long War)|align=left}}Without this perk '''Engineers''' cannot reliably destroy cover made from alien alloys and they will sometimes struggle with conventional cover. If you are raiding an alien vessel and you do not possess this perk, consider using AP grenades instead of HE ones. '''Sapper''' provides a decent boost to grenade damage, making your '''Engineers''' that much more deadly.

'''Corporal'''

{{HEAT Warheads (Long War)|align=left}}Armored unites in Long War are infinitely deadlier than they were in vanilla. This perk could be the difference between surviving a swam of seekers or wiping your squad. That said, '''Engineers''' do not use '''HEAT Warheads''' as efficiently as a '''Rocketeer''', since grenades cannot hit flying targets unless creative use of terrain is employed. This is a small issue and while you should keep it in mind, do not let it discourage you from picking HEAT. The rocket that can be obtained further down the line is also augmented by this perk.

{{Smoke And Mirrors (Long War)|align=left}}Supportive grenades can greatly increase your squad’s survivability and its ability to incapacitate aliens. An extra charge of all supportive grenades in your '''Engineer’s''' inventory is no laughing matter even if you do not choose to use the '''Battle Scanner''' later on.

{{Holo-Targeting (Long War)|align=left}}Holo can greatly reduce the Engineer’s weakness, brought by the class’s lackluster aim, by augmenting the rest of the squad’s firepower. Keep in mind that multiple instances of '''Holo-targeting''' do not stack, so it may be counterproductive to pick it up on too many soldiers.

'''Sergeant'''

{{Ranger (Long War)|align=left}}The low aim of the '''Engineer''' can devaluate this perk when using an assault rifle, but it can improve the efficiency of the carbine and the shotgun. However, the '''Engineer''' does not have access to perks that provide critical damage or chance, so '''Ranger’s''' power less than with other soldiers.

{{Suppression (Long War)|align=left}}The ability to prevent aliens from employing long range grenades and other AOE abilities cannot be emphasized enough. Yet '''Engineers''' are not very adept at using the Battle rifle and a close range suppression with the shotgun can still get your suppressor shot. This class lacks access to '''Lock N' Load''' and picking up the Extended Mags item will greatly devaluate a grenade specialist’s equipment slots.

{{Repair (Long War)|align=left}}Capturing aliens is much more important than in Vanilla. The greatly expanded range of alien abilities makes the capturing game much more dangerous than before. The Arc Thrower has been also heavily nerfed. The maximum chance to capture an alien without the improvement project from the Foundry is 55% and even with the project that number rises only up to 58%. The Arc Thrower weighs twice as normal items so bringing multiple instances of this item is ill-advised in most situations. There are, however, quite a few number of ways that can keep an alien lockdown, so it is possible to use the Arc Thrower on the same alien more than once, if a capture has failed.

'''Tech Sergeant'''

{{Extra Conditioning (Long War)|align=left}}With the low aim of the Engineer, many players prefer to use them in close quarters. With the addition of extra will, mobility and up to +4 armor, this perk can greatly improve your soldier’s survivability. The extra aim bonus makes the perk worthwhile even if you have something different than close combat in mind.

{{Dense Smoke (Long War)|align=left}}The expanded range of the smoke grenade allows your soldiers to spread out much more efficiently and thus reduces the chance of baiting alien grenades. The extra flexibility, due to the increased AOE, should also be noted, since you will not always be able to pull your squad into a tight formation.

{{Battle Scanner (Long War)|align=left}}As the war progresses and the MECs start rolling in you might find yourself less willing to field Scouts. At that point the '''Engineers''' could very well take over scanner duty. Extra battle scanners allow for a faster clear of big maps with small number of enemies, thus improving Meld harvesting efficiency. In all situations, not having to sacrifice equipment slots to counteract seekers, is a welcome addition to any squad.

'''Gunnery Sergeant'''

{{Will To Survive (Long War)|align=left}}This perk can greatly increase the survivability of a close quarters '''Engineer''', especially when in high cover. A potential number of 3 Damage Reduction is not something that should be passed on lightly and the extra Will is a nice addition to an already solid perk.

{{Ready For Anything (Long War)|align=left}}As previously stated, '''Engineers''' do not have access to '''Opportunist''' or '''Covering Fire''', but if all perks that provide extra Aim have been picked up to this point than the Engineer will be capable of covering the squad with a total of +22 Aim at the Gunnery rank.

{{Packmaster (Long War)|align=left}}'''Packmaster''' greatly increases slot value and grenade efficiency. It also improves the Arc Thrower charges by 1. If you don’t need weapon firepower from your '''Engineer''' and can keep him safe, this perk could greatly improve his usefulness on the battlefield.

'''Master Sergeant'''

{{ Mayhem (Long War)|align=left}}Extra grenade damage is always nice. However, the '''Engineer''' cannot use any weapon that benefits from mayhem. The '''Engineer''' does not have on hit effect perks such as '''Shredder ammo''' and thus the value of damaging '''Suppression''' is greatly reduced. Right now this is a somewhat lackluster perk even with the extra boost to Will and Aim.

{{Fire Rocket (Long War)|align=left}}Rockets are more unreliable as of beta 14 even for a '''Rocketeer'''. An '''Engineer’s''' rocket will be even less reliable when used without proper preparation, but with '''HEAT Warheads''' the rocket will still pack a decent punch. The +4 Aim on the side is a very welcome pick up for this class.

{{Bombard (Long War)|align=left}}This is one of the perks that allow the '''Engineer''' to shine as a grenade specialist. No other regular soldier has access to it and without it the Medic would probably take over the role of the only support grenade specialist in the game. The boost to grenade range is truly humongous.

Alien Artifacts (Long War)

2015-09-16T12:13:29Z

Demes: /* Alien devices */

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b15e}}
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>
Some '''Artifacts''' that previously had no value are now used by the game as prerequisites for research projects or Foundry projects, particularly Alien Stasis Tanks and Alien Surgeries. Within the Gray Market listings, the green text "This item has no research benefit, and can be sold freely" is still correct in that these items will never be a part of any research project, Foundry project, or as a prerequisite for manufacturing any items. However, you may still get pending resource requests for some of these items from XCOM countries. As an example, Alien Entertainment can be requested by a country in exchange for panic reduction.

Beyond that, the changes are mostly to the Gray Market values for these resources. Acquisitions from Alien Base assaults and the EXALT HQ are much more valuable, encouraging XCOM to liberate withdrawn nations when possible and forcing the player to consider the benefits of selling these resources for quick cash versus possibly fulfilling later country resource requests.

Another notable difference is that alien weapons obtained through stunning enemies with the Arc Thrower cannot be used directly, but are consumed to manufacture XCOM plasma weapons, including interceptor, SHIV, and MEC plasma weapons. Alien Rifles (from captured Mutons and Heavy Floaters) are used in the production of most plasma weapons (including the Plasma Rifle, Plasma Novagun, and interceptor Plasma Cannon). Alien Carbines (from Floaters, Outsiders, and Thin Men) are used in the production of the lighter XCOM soldier weapons such as the Plasma Carbine. Alien Heavy Weapons (from Muton Elites) are used in the production of the MEC and SHIV plasma weapons. Additionally, some of these alien weapons may be required in order to perform the associated plasma research in the first place.

* Note that the '''Fusion Core''' and '''Outsider Shard''' are only needed to unlock their associated research - the unlocked research does not use up one of these artifacts.
* Enhanced Plasma requires a Plasma Dragon, which needs an '''Alien Heavy Weapon''' to make.

==Alien materials==
These materials are required in large numbers for almost all production that is based on alien technology.

==Alien weapons==
These weapons and grenades can be studied, so that XCOM can craft their own plasma weapons, which require additional captured weapons as crafting materials.

==Captives==
From time to time, you will receive a council request for a captive alien. These are almost always great deals, and since you don't need the captives after the initial interrogation, it is recommended to accept these deals at all times. Note that when you tear down the Alien Containment facility, all Alien captives are killed.

Alien Artifacts (Long War)

2015-09-16T12:12:20Z

Demes: /* Alien devices */

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b15e}}
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>
Some '''Artifacts''' that previously had no value are now used by the game as prerequisites for research projects or Foundry projects, particularly Alien Stasis Tanks and Alien Surgeries. Within the Gray Market listings, the green text "This item has no research benefit, and can be sold freely" is still correct in that these items will never be a part of any research project, Foundry project, or as a prerequisite for manufacturing any items. However, you may still get pending resource requests for some of these items from XCOM countries. As an example, Alien Entertainment can be requested by a country in exchange for panic reduction.

Beyond that, the changes are mostly to the Gray Market values for these resources. Acquisitions from Alien Base assaults and the EXALT HQ are much more valuable, encouraging XCOM to liberate withdrawn nations when possible and forcing the player to consider the benefits of selling these resources for quick cash versus possibly fulfilling later country resource requests.

Another notable difference is that alien weapons obtained through stunning enemies with the Arc Thrower cannot be used directly, but are consumed to manufacture XCOM plasma weapons, including interceptor, SHIV, and MEC plasma weapons. Alien Rifles (from captured Mutons and Heavy Floaters) are used in the production of most plasma weapons (including the Plasma Rifle, Plasma Novagun, and interceptor Plasma Cannon). Alien Carbines (from Floaters, Outsiders, and Thin Men) are used in the production of the lighter XCOM soldier weapons such as the Plasma Carbine. Alien Heavy Weapons (from Muton Elites) are used in the production of the MEC and SHIV plasma weapons. Additionally, some of these alien weapons may be required in order to perform the associated plasma research in the first place.

* Note that the '''Fusion Core''' and '''Outsider Shard''' are only needed to unlock their associated research - the unlocked research does not use up one of these artifacts.
* Enhanced Plasma requires a Plasma Dragon, which needs an '''Alien Heavy Weapon''' to make.

==Alien materials==
These materials are required in large numbers for almost all production that is based on alien technology.

==Alien weapons==
These weapons and grenades can be studied, so that XCOM can craft their own plasma weapons, which require additional captured weapons as crafting materials.

==Captives==
From time to time, you will receive a council request for a captive alien. These are almost always great deals, and since you don't need the captives after the initial interrogation, it is recommended to accept these deals at all times. Note that when you tear down the Alien Containment facility, all Alien captives are killed.

Alien Missions (Long War)

2015-09-06T21:18:04Z

Demes: /* Research */ wops

<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>

For '''Alien Missions''' involving multiple UFOs, usually the last UFO needs to be defeated to foil the mission. Larger ship types become available for a mission only if the aliens have enough resources, and the final ship chosen will be a random selection of those available. For example, if the aliens are weak then they will randomly send either a Scout or Raider for research, if they are strong then they could randomly send a Scout, Raider, Abductor or Terror Ship for the same mission.

If the aliens send a UFO and it is damaged, destroyed or lost, the aliens will pay resources for it, limiting their options in the next month.

The aliens have a strategy in Long War, and tend to focus on geographic locations. Expect to fight them the most in the continent where they lay their first base. [http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1692208-take-it-outside/page-13#entry16970104]

==Mission Types==
===Research===
A '''Scout''', '''Raider''', '''Abductor''', '''Terror Ship''' or '''Assault Carrier''' will land for a while and then fly off. This mission will grant the aliens research if successful. Expect dozens of high-level aliens, even packed into the tiny Scout, especially if you allowed it to land for maximum artifact retrieval.

===Scout===
A '''Scout''', '''Raider''', or '''Battleship''' will fly around the target area. Successful scouting missions will spawn a satellite hunt mission over the target country.

A scout mission can be deterred by the target country's defenses, which based on their "shield bar" in the situation room. Specifically, it's a `(Shield / 2)%` chance to cause the mission to fail. There is also a `(100 - RemainingUFOHP)%` chance to fail the mission, so damaging a scouting UFO can prevent the chances that they spawn a satellite hunter. If neither of those two cases cause the mission to fail, the chance of success is `40 + (AlienResearch / 15)%`.

===Harvest===
A '''Transport''', '''Harvester''', '''Raider''' or '''Scout''' will fly NOE and land in a randomly selected country. An unimpeded mission grants the aliens resources.

If the targeted country has a satellite, there is a 12.5% chance per XCOM threat level (up to 50% at level 4) that the aliens will re-roll its target. The new result is final, whether it also has a satellite or not.

===Hunt===
A '''Fighter''', '''Raider''' (if Alien Research < 75), '''Destroyer''' (AR >= 75), or '''Battleship''' (AR >= 75) will fly at high altitude over a satellite-covered country. Priority is given to satellites over alien controlled countries (to prevent alien base assault) and countries with higher panic. This mission will destroy the satellite if successful. The base chance of success is 60%, or 90% on the second pass (30%/50% respectively if stealth satellites is researched). Damaging the UFO will reduce this chance further, with 50% or less HP leading to an automatic failure.

===Bomb===
A '''Fighter''', '''Destroyer''' or '''Battleship''' will fly around the target area bombing civilians. This mission will cause a lot of panic if successful. Damaging the UFO will reduce the amount of panic created at the end of its mission.

An unfettered air raid generates 8 panic in the country raided, in addition to the 2 panic added from ignoring the UFO.

===Abduction===
An '''Abductor''' will fly to the target area and generate an [[Missions (Long War)#Alien Abductions|Abduction site]]. A successful abduction will increase panic in the country by 25, and panic across the continent by 20 (in all difficulties but normal). Thwarting the abduction will decrease panic in the country by 2.

===Terrorize===
A '''Terror Ship''' or '''Assault Carrier''' will fly to the target area and generate a [[Missions (Long War)#Terror Site|Terror site]]. The aliens will terrorize the most panicked nation roughly 75% of the time. There is a limit of 2 terror missions per month, but they can be stacked at the end and beginning - unlucky commanders who have ceded many resources to the aliens may see as many as four in a short period of time. Terror missions are resource-intensive, and keeping the aliens on their toes should limit their ability to generate them.

Terror missions increase panic by +2 in the targeted country/+1 continent-wide per civilian killed, so these missions are always likely to see some benefit for the aliens. Losing or ignoring the mission will cause the immediate construction of an Alien Base in the country, and increase panic continent-wide by 20.

If the Terror Ship or Assault Carrier is badly damaged by XCOM interception attempts, it may abort its mission and return to base - though it's not easy without good craft and weapons. If forced to withdraw, the UFO will sharply change direction (generally doubling back towards its point of origin) and accelerate to maximum speed. Whilst further interception attempts are unlikely to catch up with it (making UFOs on terror missions some of the hardest to actually shoot down), simply avoiding a potentially costly terror mission can be worth the initial risk.

In late game up to 4 ships with ''Terrorize Populace'' mission via Hyperwave decoder may be seen. For each planned Terror site, first the Terror Ship will fly over targeted country. After several days, Assault Carrier will arrive. The Terror Ship appearance may be useful information where to relocate Firestorms. Shooting down Terror Ship does not prevent Assault Carrier arrival.

===Infiltrate===
A '''Battleship''' and '''Transport''' will fly around the target area, followed by an '''Overseer''' inserting in to the target city. This mission will cause the target country to leave XCOM immediately if successful. This mission requires a huge amount of resources from the aliens. Note that the final Overseer can only be detected if XCOM has the Hyperwave Decoder, so without one the country will appear to leave for no reason.

===Retaliate===
An '''Assault Carrier''' will fly to your main base or to one of your interceptor bases and immediately start an [[Missions (Long War)#XCOM Base Defence|XCOM Base Defense]] mission or an [[Missions (Long War)#XCOM Interceptor Defence|Air Base Defense]] mission . The aliens can only field this mission if they have a lot of resources, and they will only do it if they consider XCOM a high threat (assaulting one of their bases will usually convince them of this, though sufficiently inconveniencing them before then will also do it).

Aliens usually send an [[UFOs_(Long_War)#Assault_Carrier|'''Assault Carrier''']] to main base assaults. If the aliens win a base defense it will damage resources and kill personnel - but it is not the end of the game, and can be recovered from. XCOM will lose the following resources on a failure:

* 450-550 cash 
* 50-60 alloys 
* 50-60 elerium 
* 100-110 meld 
* 20-30 scientists (capped to 1/3 of current staff) 
* 20-30 engineers (capped to 1/3 of current staff) 
* All alien captives 
* Interceptor damage 

For Air Base assaults, aliens will send an [[UFOs_(Long_War)#Overseer|'''Overseer''']]. The cost of failure of these missions is the destruction and/or severe damage of all stationed interceptors.

===Oversee===
An '''Overseer''' will fly around the target area, giving XCOM an opportunity to shoot down an Overseer.

==Mission Table==
At the beginning of each month, aliens plan all missions to be carried out that month based on their current resource level and perceived XCOM threat level.

Alien Missions (Long War)

2015-09-06T21:17:47Z

Demes: /* Research */ Assault carriers can do research missions too

<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>

For '''Alien Missions''' involving multiple UFOs, usually the last UFO needs to be defeated to foil the mission. Larger ship types become available for a mission only if the aliens have enough resources, and the final ship chosen will be a random selection of those available. For example, if the aliens are weak then they will randomly send either a Scout or Raider for research, if they are strong then they could randomly send a Scout, Raider, Abductor or Terror Ship for the same mission.

If the aliens send a UFO and it is damaged, destroyed or lost, the aliens will pay resources for it, limiting their options in the next month.

The aliens have a strategy in Long War, and tend to focus on geographic locations. Expect to fight them the most in the continent where they lay their first base. [http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/1692208-take-it-outside/page-13#entry16970104]

==Mission Types==
===Research===
A '''Scout''', '''Raider''', '''Abductor''', '''Terror Ship''' or '''Assault Carrier will land for a while and then fly off. This mission will grant the aliens research if successful. Expect dozens of high-level aliens, even packed into the tiny Scout, especially if you allowed it to land for maximum artifact retrieval.

===Scout===
A '''Scout''', '''Raider''', or '''Battleship''' will fly around the target area. Successful scouting missions will spawn a satellite hunt mission over the target country.

A scout mission can be deterred by the target country's defenses, which based on their "shield bar" in the situation room. Specifically, it's a `(Shield / 2)%` chance to cause the mission to fail. There is also a `(100 - RemainingUFOHP)%` chance to fail the mission, so damaging a scouting UFO can prevent the chances that they spawn a satellite hunter. If neither of those two cases cause the mission to fail, the chance of success is `40 + (AlienResearch / 15)%`.

===Harvest===
A '''Transport''', '''Harvester''', '''Raider''' or '''Scout''' will fly NOE and land in a randomly selected country. An unimpeded mission grants the aliens resources.

If the targeted country has a satellite, there is a 12.5% chance per XCOM threat level (up to 50% at level 4) that the aliens will re-roll its target. The new result is final, whether it also has a satellite or not.

===Hunt===
A '''Fighter''', '''Raider''' (if Alien Research < 75), '''Destroyer''' (AR >= 75), or '''Battleship''' (AR >= 75) will fly at high altitude over a satellite-covered country. Priority is given to satellites over alien controlled countries (to prevent alien base assault) and countries with higher panic. This mission will destroy the satellite if successful. The base chance of success is 60%, or 90% on the second pass (30%/50% respectively if stealth satellites is researched). Damaging the UFO will reduce this chance further, with 50% or less HP leading to an automatic failure.

===Bomb===
A '''Fighter''', '''Destroyer''' or '''Battleship''' will fly around the target area bombing civilians. This mission will cause a lot of panic if successful. Damaging the UFO will reduce the amount of panic created at the end of its mission.

An unfettered air raid generates 8 panic in the country raided, in addition to the 2 panic added from ignoring the UFO.

===Abduction===
An '''Abductor''' will fly to the target area and generate an [[Missions (Long War)#Alien Abductions|Abduction site]]. A successful abduction will increase panic in the country by 25, and panic across the continent by 20 (in all difficulties but normal). Thwarting the abduction will decrease panic in the country by 2.

===Terrorize===
A '''Terror Ship''' or '''Assault Carrier''' will fly to the target area and generate a [[Missions (Long War)#Terror Site|Terror site]]. The aliens will terrorize the most panicked nation roughly 75% of the time. There is a limit of 2 terror missions per month, but they can be stacked at the end and beginning - unlucky commanders who have ceded many resources to the aliens may see as many as four in a short period of time. Terror missions are resource-intensive, and keeping the aliens on their toes should limit their ability to generate them.

Terror missions increase panic by +2 in the targeted country/+1 continent-wide per civilian killed, so these missions are always likely to see some benefit for the aliens. Losing or ignoring the mission will cause the immediate construction of an Alien Base in the country, and increase panic continent-wide by 20.

If the Terror Ship or Assault Carrier is badly damaged by XCOM interception attempts, it may abort its mission and return to base - though it's not easy without good craft and weapons. If forced to withdraw, the UFO will sharply change direction (generally doubling back towards its point of origin) and accelerate to maximum speed. Whilst further interception attempts are unlikely to catch up with it (making UFOs on terror missions some of the hardest to actually shoot down), simply avoiding a potentially costly terror mission can be worth the initial risk.

In late game up to 4 ships with ''Terrorize Populace'' mission via Hyperwave decoder may be seen. For each planned Terror site, first the Terror Ship will fly over targeted country. After several days, Assault Carrier will arrive. The Terror Ship appearance may be useful information where to relocate Firestorms. Shooting down Terror Ship does not prevent Assault Carrier arrival.

===Infiltrate===
A '''Battleship''' and '''Transport''' will fly around the target area, followed by an '''Overseer''' inserting in to the target city. This mission will cause the target country to leave XCOM immediately if successful. This mission requires a huge amount of resources from the aliens. Note that the final Overseer can only be detected if XCOM has the Hyperwave Decoder, so without one the country will appear to leave for no reason.

===Retaliate===
An '''Assault Carrier''' will fly to your main base or to one of your interceptor bases and immediately start an [[Missions (Long War)#XCOM Base Defence|XCOM Base Defense]] mission or an [[Missions (Long War)#XCOM Interceptor Defence|Air Base Defense]] mission . The aliens can only field this mission if they have a lot of resources, and they will only do it if they consider XCOM a high threat (assaulting one of their bases will usually convince them of this, though sufficiently inconveniencing them before then will also do it).

Aliens usually send an [[UFOs_(Long_War)#Assault_Carrier|'''Assault Carrier''']] to main base assaults. If the aliens win a base defense it will damage resources and kill personnel - but it is not the end of the game, and can be recovered from. XCOM will lose the following resources on a failure:

Equipment (Long War)

2015-09-02T16:39:20Z

Demes: NVM, the game lied to me.

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b15e}}
<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>
[[File: Soldiers_Equipment_Long_War.png|left|224px|]]

In Long War, all regular soldiers have 2 '''equipment''' slots from the start of the game. The ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project increases this to 3 slots. The Jungle Scouts starting bonus from Brazil also increases this to 3 item slots for the early game armors (Tac Vest, Tac Armor, Kestrel Armor, Phalanx Armor and Aurora), but this bonus does not stack with the bonus from the ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project.

Long War added a lot of items for abilities that were previously only available as a perk, such as Battle Scanners. Most of these are also still available as a perk, though generally the perk provides additional bonuses now.

All equipment that is available from the start of the game are available without limits, so you can equip them on any number of available soldiers. Since you have an infinite amount, these items have no cost, do not need to be repaired, and cannot be sold. The same applies to Alien Grenades, once you have researched the ''Alien Grenades'' Foundry project.

All other items need to be produced first, and can only be equipped once per time they are produced. Note that producing consumables represents a production line for these consumables. You can still only equip it once for each time you have produced them, but using them during the mission does not expend them from your storage, and unless damaged, you can bring them again during the next mission.

Most items have a weight, which is represented as a movement penalty. The average item has a weight of 1, and thus provides a -1 movement penalty, though some items weigh two, while a few items weigh nothing or even provide a movement bonus. Extra charges from perks such as ''Packmaster'', ''Grenadier'' and ''Smoke and Mirrors'' do not increase the weight and do not provide additional movement penalties.

You can choose to equip less than the maximum number of items by clicking on the empty hand icon. Since most items provide a movement penalty, this effectively gives you a small movement bonus.

==Soldier equipment==
===Protective gear===
In Long War, the aliens are even more deadly than in vanilla. Fortunately, you have access to a few protective items that can be worn in addition to regular armor, to provide a little more survivability. Note that Ceramic, Alloy and Chitin Plating can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Weapon attachments===
In Long War, the enemies become harder and harder to hit as the game progresses. Fortunately, there are an array of items available to enhance your weapons' accuracy. With the exception of the Marksman's Scope, these items apply their bonus to both primary and secondary weapons. Note that SCOPEs, Neural Gunlinks and Illuminator Gunsights can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Special ammunition===
In addition to attaching unique items to your weapons, you can also replace the standard ammunition and clips with more specialized ammunition and clips, to further enhance your attacks. Unlike weapon attachments, special ammunition only applies to your primary weapon, and most special ammunition only works with specific weapon types. Note that Hi Cap and Drum Mags can't stack with one another, that Shredder, Armor Piercing and Flak Ammo can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Explosives===
Sometimes, the best answer is to blow up the enemy, or the cover that the enemy is hiding behind. These are the right tools for the job. Keep in mind that in Long War, 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.

Even though Engineers can pick the Fire Rocket perk, they cannot equip these additional rockets, restricting them to the single rocket that's provided by the perk. Rocketeers can only pick up either rocket once, but they can pick up both rockets, though it could be wise to reserve one slot for an aim boosting item.

While not as much as rockets, grenades have also received a bit of an overhaul, and the Engineering class has several perks dedicated to lobbing explosive grenades. They still always hit their target, making them more reliable than rockets, especially in the early game, though they can't keep up with range and damage output. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once.

===Support grenades===
Like explosive grenades, support grenades have also received a few more perks to enhance them, and while the Grenadier perk doesn't increase the number of support grenades carried, it's range bonus does affect both explosive and support grenades. While Battle Scanners and Mimic Beacons aren't called grenades, they are affected by these perks, and are thus included here. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once. To keep the table size a bit practical, the effects of Disorient, Smoke and Acid are described here instead:

Disorient: Units that are Disoriented immediately cancel Overwatch and Suppression. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 40%, they receive a -50 penalty to aim, and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced.

Concealment: Units that are Concealed gain a +20 bonus to defense. In addition, these units do not provide aim and crit chance bonuses to other units for being exposed or flanked, though they are still considered exposed or flanked for the purpose of perks.

Acid: Acid lasts for 2 to 4 turns and deals 1 damage per action other than Hunker Down. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 25%, their damage reduction is reduced by 3 or 50%, whichever is higher, they receive a -20 penalty to aim and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced. Zombies, robotic units and units that have a Respirator Implant or Medikit equipped negate the damage and penalty to mobility.

===Utility devices===
Finally, the utility devices includes all items that are not considered explosives or support grenades, but still have a limited number of charges. Thus, these items grant the most varied effects. Note that soldiers can equip more than one Medikit or Arc Thrower, but not more than one of each other item.

==MEC and SHIV equipment==
===MEC equipment===
One of the main features of Long War is the versatility of mechanized units. Not only do you have eight different classes of MEC troopers at your disposal, you also have the option to fully kit them with items that can supplement or completely change their role on the battlefield. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but MEC troopers can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers.

===SHIV modules===
While SHIVs cannot go up in rank, and thus cannot earn any perks, they can equip a varied amount of modules that grant different perks, allowing them to fill in for whichever role you need them to. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but SHIV units can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers and MEC troopers.

[[File: Soldiers_Equipment_Long_War.png|left|224px|]]

In Long War, all regular soldiers have 2 '''equipment''' slots from the start of the game. The ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project increases this to 3 slots. The Jungle Scouts starting bonus from Brazil also increases this to 3 item slots for the early game armors (Tac Vest, Tac Armor, Kestrel Armor, Phalanx Armor and Aurora), but this bonus does not stack with the bonus from the ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project.

Long War added a lot of items for abilities that were previously only available as a perk, such as Battle Scanners. Most of these are also still available as a perk, though generally the perk provides additional bonuses now.

All equipment that is available from the start of the game are available without limits, so you can equip them on any number of available soldiers. Since you have an infinite amount, these items have no cost, do not need to be repaired, and cannot be sold. The same applies to Alien Grenades, once you have researched the ''Alien Grenades'' Foundry project.

All other items need to be produced first, and can only be equipped once per time they are produced. Note that producing consumables represents a production line for these consumables. You can still only equip it once for each time you have produced them, but using them during the mission does not expend them from your storage, and unless damaged, you can bring them again during the next mission.

Most items have a weight, which is represented as a movement penalty. The average item has a weight of 1, and thus provides a -1 movement penalty, though some items weigh two, while a few items weigh nothing or even provide a movement bonus. Extra charges from perks such as ''Packmaster'', ''Grenadier'' and ''Smoke and Mirrors'' do not increase the weight and do not provide additional movement penalties.

You can choose to equip less than the maximum number of items by clicking on the empty hand icon. Since most items provide a movement penalty, this effectively gives you a small movement bonus.

==Soldier equipment==
===Protective gear===
In Long War, the aliens are even more deadly than in vanilla. Fortunately, you have access to a few protective items that can be worn in addition to regular armor, to provide a little more survivability. Note that Ceramic, Alloy and Chitin Plating can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Miscellaneous gear===
In addition to the items above that mostly protect against physical attacks, there are also a few items that protect your soldiers against panic and psychic attack, as well as as items that help your soldiers with their mobility or experience. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Weapon attachments===
In Long War, the enemies become harder and harder to hit as the game progresses. Fortunately, there are an array of items available to enhance your weapons' accuracy. With the exception of the Marksman's Scope, these items apply their bonus to both primary and secondary weapons. Note that SCOPEs, Neural Gunlinks and Illuminator Gunsights can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Special ammunition===
In addition to attaching unique items to your weapons, you can also replace the standard ammunition and clips with more specialized ammunition and clips, to further enhance your attacks. Unlike weapon attachments, special ammunition only applies to your primary weapon, and most special ammunition only works with specific weapon types. Note that Hi Cap and Drum Mags can't stack with one another, that Shredder, Armor Piercing and Flak Ammo can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Explosives===
Sometimes, the best answer is to blow up the enemy, or the cover that the enemy is hiding behind. These are the right tools for the job. Keep in mind that in Long War, 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.

Even though Engineers can pick the Fire Rocket perk, they cannot equip these additional rockets, restricting them to the single rocket that's provided by the perk. Rocketeers can only pick up either rocket once, but they can pick up both rockets, though it could be wise to reserve one slot for an aim boosting item.

While not as much as rockets, grenades have also received a bit of an overhaul, and the Engineering class has several perks dedicated to lobbing explosive grenades. They still always hit their target, making them more reliable than rockets, especially in the early game, though they can't keep up with range and damage output. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once.

===Support grenades===
Like explosive grenades, support grenades have also received a few more perks to enhance them, and while the Grenadier perk doesn't increase the number of support grenades carried, it's range bonus does affect both explosive and support grenades. While Battle Scanners and Mimic Beacons aren't called grenades, they are affected by these perks, and are thus included here. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once. To keep the table size a bit practical, the effects of Disorient, Smoke and Acid are described here instead:

Disorient: Units that are Disoriented immediately cancel Overwatch and Suppression. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 40%, they receive a -50 penalty to aim, and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced.

Concealment: Units that are Concealed gain a +20 bonus to defense. In addition, these units do not provide aim and crit chance bonuses to other units for being exposed or flanked, though they are still considered exposed or flanked for the purpose of perks.

Acid: Acid lasts for 2 to 4 turns and deals 1 damage per action other than Hunker Down. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 25%, their damage reduction is reduced by 3 or 50%, whichever is higher, they receive a -20 penalty to aim and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced. Zombies, robotic units and units that have a Respirator Implant or Medikit equipped negate the damage and penalty to mobility.

===Utility devices===
Finally, the utility devices includes all items that are not considered explosives or support grenades, but still have a limited number of charges. Thus, these items grant the most varied effects. Note that soldiers can equip more than one Medikit or Arc Thrower, but not more than one of each other item.

==MEC and SHIV equipment==
===MEC equipment===
One of the main features of Long War is the versatility of mechanized units. Not only do you have eight different classes of MEC troopers at your disposal, you also have the option to fully kit them with items that can supplement or completely change their role on the battlefield. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but MEC troopers can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers.

===SHIV modules===
While SHIVs cannot go up in rank, and thus cannot earn any perks, they can equip a varied amount of modules that grant different perks, allowing them to fill in for whichever role you need them to. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but SHIV units can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers and MEC troopers.

[[File: Soldiers_Equipment_Long_War.png|left|224px|]]

In Long War, all regular soldiers have 2 '''equipment''' slots from the start of the game. The ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project increases this to 3 slots. The Jungle Scouts starting bonus from Brazil also increases this to 3 item slots for the early game armors (Tac Vest, Tac Armor, Kestrel Armor, Phalanx Armor and Aurora), but this bonus does not stack with the bonus from the ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project.

Long War added a lot of items for abilities that were previously only available as a perk, such as Battle Scanners. Most of these are also still available as a perk, though generally the perk provides additional bonuses now.

All equipment that is available from the start of the game are available without limits, so you can equip them on any number of available soldiers. Since you have an infinite amount, these items have no cost, do not need to be repaired, and cannot be sold. The same applies to Alien Grenades, once you have researched the ''Alien Grenades'' Foundry project.

All other items need to be produced first, and can only be equipped once per time they are produced. Note that producing consumables represents a production line for these consumables. You can still only equip it once for each time you have produced them, but using them during the mission does not expend them from your storage, and unless damaged, you can bring them again during the next mission.

Most items have a weight, which is represented as a movement penalty. The average item has a weight of 1, and thus provides a -1 movement penalty, though some items weigh two, while a few items weigh nothing or even provide a movement bonus. Extra charges from perks such as ''Packmaster'', ''Grenadier'' and ''Smoke and Mirrors'' do not increase the weight and do not provide additional movement penalties.

You can choose to equip less than the maximum number of items by clicking on the empty hand icon. Since most items provide a movement penalty, this effectively gives you a small movement bonus.

==Soldier equipment==
===Protective gear===
In Long War, the aliens are even more deadly than in vanilla. Fortunately, you have access to a few protective items that can be worn in addition to regular armor, to provide a little more survivability. Note that Ceramic, Alloy and Chitin Plating can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Miscellaneous gear===
In addition to the items above that mostly protect against physical attacks, there are also a few items that protect your soldiers against panic and psychic attack, as well as as items that help your soldiers with their mobility or experience. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Weapon attachments===
In Long War, the enemies become harder and harder to hit as the game progresses. Fortunately, there are an array of items available to enhance your weapons' accuracy. With the exception of the Marksman's Scope, these items apply their bonus to both primary and secondary weapons. Note that SCOPEs, Neural Gunlinks and Illuminator Gunsights can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Special ammunition===
In addition to attaching unique items to your weapons, you can also replace the standard ammunition and clips with more specialized ammunition and clips, to further enhance your attacks. Unlike weapon attachments, special ammunition only applies to your primary weapon, and most special ammunition only works with specific weapon types. Note that Hi Cap and Drum Mags can't stack with one another, that Shredder, Armor Piercing and Flak Ammo can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Explosives===
Sometimes, the best answer is to blow up the enemy, or the cover that the enemy is hiding behind. These are the right tools for the job. Keep in mind that in Long War, 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.

Even though Engineers can pick the Fire Rocket perk, they cannot equip these additional rockets, restricting them to the single rocket that's provided by the perk. Rocketeers can only pick up either rocket once, but they can pick up both rockets, though it could be wise to reserve one slot for an aim boosting item.

While not as much as rockets, grenades have also received a bit of an overhaul, and the Engineering class has several perks dedicated to lobbing explosive grenades. They still always hit their target, making them more reliable than rockets, especially in the early game, though they can't keep up with range and damage output. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once.

===Support grenades===
Like explosive grenades, support grenades have also received a few more perks to enhance them, and while the Grenadier perk doesn't increase the number of support grenades carried, it's range bonus does affect both explosive and support grenades. While Battle Scanners and Mimic Beacons aren't called grenades, they are affected by these perks, and are thus included here. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once. To keep the table size a bit practical, the effects of Disorient, Smoke and Acid are described here instead:

Disorient: Units that are Disoriented immediately cancel Overwatch and Suppression. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 40%, they receive a -50 penalty to aim, and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced.

Concealment: Units that are Concealed gain a +20 bonus to defense. In addition, these units do not provide aim and crit chance bonuses to other units for being exposed or flanked, though they are still considered exposed or flanked for the purpose of perks.

Acid: Acid lasts for 2 to 4 turns and deals 1 damage per action other than Hunker Down. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 25%, their damage reduction is reduced by 3 or 50%, whichever is higher, they receive a -20 penalty to aim and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced. Zombies, robotic units and units that have a Respirator Implant or Medikit equipped negate the damage and penalty to mobility.

===Utility devices===
Finally, the utility devices includes all items that are not considered explosives or support grenades, but still have a limited number of charges. Thus, these items grant the most varied effects. Note that soldiers can equip more than one Medikit or Arc Thrower, but not more than one of each other item.

==MEC and SHIV equipment==
===MEC equipment===
One of the main features of Long War is the versatility of mechanized units. Not only do you have eight different classes of MEC troopers at your disposal, you also have the option to fully kit them with items that can supplement or completely change their role on the battlefield. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but MEC troopers can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers.

===SHIV modules===
While SHIVs cannot go up in rank, and thus cannot earn any perks, they can equip a varied amount of modules that grant different perks, allowing them to fill in for whichever role you need them to. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but SHIV units can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers and MEC troopers.

In Long War, all regular soldiers have 2 '''equipment''' slots from the start of the game. The ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project increases this to 3 slots. The Jungle Scouts starting bonus from Brazil also increases this to 3 item slots for the early game armors (Tac Vest, Tac Armor, Kestrel Armor, Phalanx Armor and Aurora), but this bonus does not stack with the bonus from the ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project.

Long War added a lot of items for abilities that were previously only available as a perk, such as Battle Scanners. Most of these are also still available as a perk, though generally the perk provides additional bonuses now.

All equipment that is available from the start of the game are available without limits, so you can equip them on any number of available soldiers. Since you have an infinite amount, these items have no cost, do not need to be repaired, and cannot be sold. The same applies to Alien Grenades, once you have researched the ''Alien Grenades'' Foundry project.

All other items need to be produced first, and can only be equipped once per time they are produced. Note that producing consumables represents a production line for these consumables. You can still only equip it once for each time you have produced them, but using them during the mission does not expend them from your storage, and unless damaged, you can bring them again during the next mission.

Most items have a weight, which is represented as a movement penalty. The average item has a weight of 1, and thus provides a -1 movement penalty, though some items weigh two, while a few items weigh nothing or even provide a movement bonus. Extra charges from perks such as ''Packmaster'', ''Grenadier'' and ''Smoke and Mirrors'' do not increase the weight and do not provide additional movement penalties.

You can choose to equip less than the maximum number of items by clicking on the empty hand icon. Since most items provide a movement penalty, this effectively gives you a small movement bonus.

==Soldier equipment==
===Protective gear===
In Long War, the aliens are even more deadly than in vanilla. Fortunately, you have access to a few protective items that can be worn in addition to regular armor, to provide a little more survivability. Note that Ceramic, Alloy and Chitin Plating can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Miscellaneous gear===
In addition to the items above that mostly protect against physical attacks, there are also a few items that protect your soldiers against panic and psychic attack, as well as as items that help your soldiers with their mobility or experience. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Weapon attachments===
In Long War, the enemies become harder and harder to hit as the game progresses. Fortunately, there are an array of items available to enhance your weapons' accuracy. With the exception of the Marksman's Scope, these items apply their bonus to both primary and secondary weapons. Note that SCOPEs, Neural Gunlinks and Illuminator Gunsights can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Special ammunition===
In addition to attaching unique items to your weapons, you can also replace the standard ammunition and clips with more specialized ammunition and clips, to further enhance your attacks. Unlike weapon attachments, special ammunition only applies to your primary weapon, and most special ammunition only works with specific weapon types. Note that Hi Cap and Drum Mags can't stack with one another, that Shredder, Armor Piercing and Flak Ammo can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Explosives===
Sometimes, the best answer is to blow up the enemy, or the cover that the enemy is hiding behind. These are the right tools for the job. Keep in mind that in Long War, 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.

Even though Engineers can pick the Fire Rocket perk, they cannot equip these additional rockets, restricting them to the single rocket that's provided by the perk. Rocketeers can only pick up either rocket once, but they can pick up both rockets, though it could be wise to reserve one slot for an aim boosting item.

While not as much as rockets, grenades have also received a bit of an overhaul, and the Engineering class has several perks dedicated to lobbing explosive grenades. They still always hit their target, making them more reliable than rockets, especially in the early game, though they can't keep up with range and damage output. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once.

===Support grenades===
Like explosive grenades, support grenades have also received a few more perks to enhance them, and while the Grenadier perk doesn't increase the number of support grenades carried, it's range bonus does affect both explosive and support grenades. While Battle Scanners and Mimic Beacons aren't called grenades, they are affected by these perks, and are thus included here. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once. To keep the table size a bit practical, the effects of Disorient, Smoke and Acid are described here instead:

Disorient: Units that are Disoriented immediately cancel Overwatch and Suppression. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 40%, they receive a -50 penalty to aim, and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced.

Concealment: Units that are Concealed gain a +20 bonus to defense. In addition, these units do not provide aim and crit chance bonuses to other units for being exposed or flanked, though they are still considered exposed or flanked for the purpose of perks.

Acid: Acid lasts for 2 to 4 turns and deals 1 damage per action other than Hunker Down. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 25%, their damage reduction is reduced by 3 or 50%, whichever is higher, they receive a -20 penalty to aim and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced. Zombies, robotic units and units that have a Respirator Implant or Medikit equipped negate the damage and penalty to mobility.

===Utility devices===
Finally, the utility devices includes all items that are not considered explosives or support grenades, but still have a limited number of charges. Thus, these items grant the most varied effects. Note that soldiers can equip more than one Medikit or Arc Thrower, but not more than one of each other item.

==MEC and SHIV equipment==
===MEC equipment===
One of the main features of Long War is the versatility of mechanized units. Not only do you have eight different classes of MEC troopers at your disposal, you also have the option to fully kit them with items that can supplement or completely change their role on the battlefield. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but MEC troopers can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers.

===SHIV modules===
While SHIVs cannot go up in rank, and thus cannot earn any perks, they can equip a varied amount of modules that grant different perks, allowing them to fill in for whichever role you need them to. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but SHIV units can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers and MEC troopers.

In Long War, all regular soldiers have 2 '''equipment''' slots from the start of the game. The ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project increases this to 3 slots. The Jungle Scouts starting bonus from Brazil also increases this to 3 item slots for the early game armors (Tac Vest, Tac Armor, Kestrel Armor, Phalanx Armor and Aurora), but this bonus does not stack with the bonus from the ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project.

Long War added a lot of items for abilities that were previously only available as a perk, such as Battle Scanners. Most of these are also still available as a perk, though generally the perk provides additional bonuses now.

All equipment that is available from the start of the game are available without limits, so you can equip them on any number of available soldiers. Since you have an infinite amount, these items have no cost, do not need to be repaired, and cannot be sold. The same applies to Alien Grenades, once you have researched the ''Alien Grenades'' Foundry project.

All other items need to be produced first, and can only be equipped once per time they are produced. Note that producing consumables represents a production line for these consumables. You can still only equip it once for each time you have produced them, but using them during the mission does not expend them from your storage, and unless damaged, you can bring them again during the next mission.

Most items have a weight, which is represented as a movement penalty. The average item has a weight of 1, and thus provides a -1 movement penalty, though some items weigh two, while a few items weigh nothing or even provide a movement bonus. Extra charges from perks such as ''Packmaster'', ''Grenadier'' and ''Smoke and Mirrors'' do not increase the weight and do not provide additional movement penalties.

You can choose to equip less than the maximum number of items by clicking on the empty hand icon. Since most items provide a movement penalty, this effectively gives you a small movement bonus.

==Soldier equipment==
===Protective gear===
In Long War, the aliens are even more deadly than in vanilla. Fortunately, you have access to a few protective items that can be worn in addition to regular armor, to provide a little more survivability. Note that Ceramic, Alloy and Chitin Plating can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Miscellaneous gear===
In addition to the items above that mostly protect against physical attacks, there are also a few items that protect your soldiers against panic and psychic attack, as well as as items that help your soldiers with their mobility or experience. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Weapon attachments===
In Long War, the enemies become harder and harder to hit as the game progresses. Fortunately, there are an array of items available to enhance your weapons' accuracy. With the exception of the Marksman's Scope, these items apply their bonus to both primary and secondary weapons. Note that SCOPEs, Neural Gunlinks and Illuminator Gunsights can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Special ammunition===
In addition to attaching unique items to your weapons, you can also replace the standard ammunition and clips with more specialized ammunition and clips, to further enhance your attacks. Unlike weapon attachments, special ammunition only applies to your primary weapon, and most special ammunition only works with specific weapon types. Note that Hi Cap and Drum Mags can't stack with one another, that Shredder, Armor Piercing and Flak Ammo can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Explosives===
Sometimes, the best answer is to blow up the enemy, or the cover that the enemy is hiding behind. These are the right tools for the job. Keep in mind that in Long War, 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.

Even though Engineers can pick the Fire Rocket perk, they cannot equip these additional rockets, restricting them to the single rocket that's provided by the perk. Rocketeers can only pick up either rocket once, but they can pick up both rockets, though it could be wise to reserve one slot for an aim boosting item.

While not as much as rockets, grenades have also received a bit of an overhaul, and the Engineering class has several perks dedicated to lobbing explosive grenades. They still always hit their target, making them more reliable than rockets, especially in the early game, though they can't keep up with range and damage output. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once.

===Support grenades===
Like explosive grenades, support grenades have also received a few more perks to enhance them, and while the Grenadier perk doesn't increase the number of support grenades carried, it's range bonus does affect both explosive and support grenades. While Battle Scanners and Mimic Beacons aren't called grenades, they are affected by these perks, and are thus included here. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once. To keep the table size a bit practical, the effects of Disorient, Concealment and Acid are described here instead:

Disorient: Units that are Disoriented immediately cancel Overwatch and Suppression. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 40%, they receive a -50 penalty to aim, and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced.

Concealment: Units that are Concealed gain a +20 bonus to defense. In addition, these units do not provide aim and crit chance bonuses to other units for being exposed or flanked, though they are still considered exposed or flanked for the purpose of perks.

Acid: Acid lasts for 2 to 4 turns and deals 1 damage per action other than Hunker Down. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 25%, their damage reduction is reduced by 3 or 50%, whichever is higher, they receive a -20 penalty to aim and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced. Zombies, robotic units and units that have a Respirator Implant or Medikit equipped negate the damage and penalty to mobility.

===Utility devices===
Finally, the utility devices includes all items that are not considered explosives or support grenades, but still have a limited number of charges. Thus, these items grant the most varied effects. Note that soldiers can equip more than one Medikit or Arc Thrower, but not more than one of each other item.

==MEC and SHIV equipment==
===MEC equipment===
One of the main features of Long War is the versatility of mechanized units. Not only do you have eight different classes of MEC troopers at your disposal, you also have the option to fully kit them with items that can supplement or completely change their role on the battlefield. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but MEC troopers can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers.

===SHIV modules===
While SHIVs cannot go up in rank, and thus cannot earn any perks, they can equip a varied amount of modules that grant different perks, allowing them to fill in for whichever role you need them to. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but SHIV units can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers and MEC troopers.

In Long War, all regular soldiers have 2 '''equipment''' slots from the start of the game. The ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project increases this to 3 slots. The Jungle Scouts starting bonus from Brazil also increases this to 3 item slots for the early game armors (Tac Vest, Tac Armor, Kestrel Armor, Phalanx Armor and Aurora), but this bonus does not stack with the bonus from the ''Tactical Rigging'' Foundry project.

Long War added a lot of items for abilities that were previously only available as a perk, such as Battle Scanners. Most of these are also still available as a perk, though generally the perk provides additional bonuses now.

All equipment that is available from the start of the game are available without limits, so you can equip them on any number of available soldiers. Since you have an infinite amount, these items have no cost, do not need to be repaired, and cannot be sold. The same applies to Alien Grenades, once you have researched the ''Alien Grenades'' Foundry project.

All other items need to be produced first, and can only be equipped once per time they are produced. Note that producing consumables represents a production line for these consumables. You can still only equip it once for each time you have produced them, but using them during the mission does not expend them from your storage, and unless damaged, you can bring them again during the next mission.

Most items have a weight, which is represented as a movement penalty. The average item has a weight of 1, and thus provides a -1 movement penalty, though some items weigh two, while a few items weigh nothing or even provide a movement bonus. Extra charges from perks such as ''Packmaster'', ''Grenadier'' and ''Smoke and Mirrors'' do not increase the weight and do not provide additional movement penalties.

You can choose to equip less than the maximum number of items by clicking on the empty hand icon. Since most items provide a movement penalty, this effectively gives you a small movement bonus.

==Soldier equipment==
===Protective gear===
In Long War, the aliens are even more deadly than in vanilla. Fortunately, you have access to a few protective items that can be worn in addition to regular armor, to provide a little more survivability. Note that Ceramic, Alloy and Chitin Plating can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Miscellaneous gear===
In addition to the items above that mostly protect against physical attacks, there are also a few items that protect your soldiers against panic and psychic attack, as well as as items that help your soldiers with their mobility or experience. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Weapon attachments===
In Long War, the enemies become harder and harder to hit as the game progresses. Fortunately, there are an array of items available to enhance your weapons' accuracy. With the exception of the Marksman's Scope, these items apply their bonus to both primary and secondary weapons. Note that SCOPEs, Neural Gunlinks and Illuminator Gunsights can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Special ammunition===
In addition to attaching unique items to your weapons, you can also replace the standard ammunition and clips with more specialized ammunition and clips, to further enhance your attacks. Unlike weapon attachments, special ammunition only applies to your primary weapon, and most special ammunition only works with specific weapon types. Note that Hi Cap and Drum Mags can't stack with one another, that Shredder, Armor Piercing and Flak Ammo can't stack with one another, and that none of these items can be equipped more than once.

===Explosives===
Sometimes, the best answer is to blow up the enemy, or the cover that the enemy is hiding behind. These are the right tools for the job. Keep in mind that in Long War, 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.

Even though Engineers can pick the Fire Rocket perk, they cannot equip these additional rockets, restricting them to the single rocket that's provided by the perk. Rocketeers can only pick up either rocket once, but they can pick up both rockets, though it could be wise to reserve one slot for an aim boosting item.

While not as much as rockets, grenades have also received a bit of an overhaul, and the Engineering class has several perks dedicated to lobbing explosive grenades. They still always hit their target, making them more reliable than rockets, especially in the early game, though they can't keep up with range and damage output. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once.

===Support grenades===
Like explosive grenades, support grenades have also received a few more perks to enhance them, and while the Grenadier perk doesn't increase the number of support grenades carried, it's range bonus does affect both explosive and support grenades. While Battle Scanners and Mimic Beacons aren't called grenades, they are affected by these perks, and are thus included here. Note that soldiers can pick up the same type of grenade more than once. To keep the table size a bit practical, the effects of Disorient, Concealment and Acid are described here instead:

Disorient: Units that are Disoriented immediately cancel Overwatch and Suppression. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 40%, they receive a -50 penalty to aim, and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced.

Concealment: Units that are Concealed gain a +20 bonus to defense. In addition, these units do not provide aim and crit chance bonuses to other units for being exposed or flanked, though they are still considered exposed or flanked for the purpose of perks.

Acid: Acid lasts for 2 to 4 turns and deals 1 damage per action other than Hunker Down. In addition, their mobility is reduced by 25%, their damage reduction is reduced by 50%, they receive a -20 penalty to aim and the range of their explosives and thrown devices is severely reduced. Zombies, robotic units and units that have a Respirator Implant or Medikit equipped negate the damage and penalty to mobility.

===Utility devices===
Finally, the utility devices includes all items that are not considered explosives or support grenades, but still have a limited number of charges. Thus, these items grant the most varied effects. Note that soldiers can equip more than one Medikit or Arc Thrower, but not more than one of each other item.

==MEC and SHIV equipment==
===MEC equipment===
One of the main features of Long War is the versatility of mechanized units. Not only do you have eight different classes of MEC troopers at your disposal, you also have the option to fully kit them with items that can supplement or completely change their role on the battlefield. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but MEC troopers can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers.

===SHIV modules===
While SHIVs cannot go up in rank, and thus cannot earn any perks, they can equip a varied amount of modules that grant different perks, allowing them to fill in for whichever role you need them to. Note that none of these items can be equipped more than once, but SHIV units can also equip several of the items listed above for regular soldiers and MEC troopers.

== Weapon Damage Calculation ==

Disclaimer: information bellow is compiled from various dev posts, dev PMs, etc (therefore very likely NOT 100% accurate - we'll hopefully add the missing bits // correct mistakes in the future ) .. It does not paint the complete picture, but it is the best we've got ..

Terms: base_weapon_damage (BWD) - this is each weapon damage stat configurable in DGG.ini . The weapon ranges shown in game in barracks are computed (randomization process) based on this 1 stat with an algorithm designed by Amineri for long war.

Stated design goal (Amineri) " ..Damage variance in general is approximately uniform, but scales linearly with the base damage... WHY I went through the trouble to scale the damage randomization with base damage ? ..ultimately, the motivator for reworking damage variance was part of the effort to change the difficulty curve to make early game easier and late game harder. "

Should be much clearer when we get to examine the randomization process and some nice colored tables .. (Madlaxstreams's idea)

Big steps for calculating damage inflicted by weapon fire

a. Roll for hit. Roll for crit. 
b. Multiplicative skills cut the MWD (flush, perhaps Disabling shot ) 
c. Weapon_Modified_Damage (MWD) is computed (sum of WBD and all the +X to weapon damage from equipped items and relevant perks) 
d. Randomisation Process. Roll for damage value in damage range (+- 25 %) (same process for crit and-not crit shots) .. 
e. Run target DR gauntlet (multiple steps) 
f. Explosive damage extra RNG layer 
g. Apply shredder bonus to any remaining damage past target DR 
h. Add HeatAmmo bonus damage to robots 

Details

==b. Not sure about this (no source) %perk modifier ==

This is probably where %penalty for some skills is applied (flush / disabling shot) 

test info seems to indicate BWD*=0.5 for Flush.. (rounded down) Which means flush damage range increases by going up to even BWD number for the weapon..Upping weapon tech to odd BWD will not increase flush damage (due to rounding down).. 

Flush damage table range (will include one later).. Keep in mind +X damage perks do add after flush - this would be just the flush damage without the +X damage perks .. 

Disabling shot works the same .. 

Shredder rocket seems to work similar to flush .. BWD *0.6 rounded down and then +X added .. 

==c. Modified_Weapon_Damage (MWD) is computed ==
(sum of BWD and all the +X to weapon damage from equipped items and relevant perks)

Ex: 
- ranger adds +1 to primary weapons, rocket launchers, MEC secondary weapons and sidearms 
- VPT adds +2 to primary weapon and +1 to secondary vs relevant targets 
- sapper +1 to HE and AP grenades; +2 to alien grenades 
- foundry project +1 damage for sidearms (Reflex Pistols ) 
- foundry project +2 damage for AP grenades (Alien Grenades) 
- foundry project- plasma research gives +1 to all plasma weapons 
- One of the various damage-increasing plasma weapon tech specials +1 
- damage items (Alloy-Jacketed Rounds , Enhanced Beam Optics , Plasma Stellerator) add +1 to relevant weapons (INCLUDING SIDEARMS) 
- Mayhem adds +2 damage for most explosive grenades, proximity mines and rocket launcher ammo. Confers +2 damage for SAW- and LMG- series weapons (+1 when using Flush), Recoilless Rifle and Blaster Launcher ammo, and alien grenades. Confers +4 damage for sniper and long rifles, marksman's, strike and reflex rifles. 
- Precision shot adds (based on weapon tech) for crits (+2 for ballistic, laser and gauss SR ; +3 for pulse ; +4 for plasma) 
- Bring'em On on adds 1-2 enemies => +1 damage 3-4 enemies => +2 damage 5-6 enemies => +3 damage 7 or more enemies => +4 damage (side arms too) 
- Killer instinct adds extra BWD * 0.334 (rounded up) in case of crit (because 1.334 * 1.5 = 2.001). KI description is only true (+50% damage) if there are no other bonuses in play .. Typically in actual play the bonus provided by KI is lower than +50% .. Skill description should probably state +33.4% of BWD rounded up but since they don't ever show BWD in game .. check bellow for possible values 
2 (Assault Rifle, Laser Rifle, Battle Rifle);3 (shotgun, heavy laser rifle, scatter laser, gauss rifle, heavy gauss rifle, alloy cannon, pulse rifle , heavy pulse rifle, plasma rifle); 4 (scatter blaster , heavy plasma rifle , reflex cannon) . Works with side arms too but since side arms have lower BWD - gain will be less ..

- ..

==d. The randomization roll .==

The purpose of the randomisation is to pick a integer value in roughly [MWD*0.75, MWD*1.25] interval (centered on/average value is MWD ) for non-crits and same length interval approximately shifted + 0.5 * MWD for critical hits (thus centered on MWD*1.5)

Amineri 
" The way it's computed is that a die of size 2 x damage (WMD) + 2 is rolled. Each integer point of final damage gets 4 possible results. 
Examples: 
1) 5 base damage -- a 12 sided die is rolled, with 4 chances each for 4, 5, or 6 damage on a non-critical hit. A critical hit is centered at 7.5 damage, so 4 results each map to 7 and 8, and 2 results each map to 6 and 9. 
Results : 33.3% chance of 4, 5 or 6 damage on non-crit, and 16.7% chance of 6 or 9 and 33.3% chance of 7 or 8 damage on a crit. 
2) 3 base damage - an 8 sided die is rolled. 4 results map to 3 damage, and 2 results each map to 2 and 4 damage. 
Results : 25% chance of 2 or 4 damage, 50% chance of 3 damage 
3) 8 base damage - an 18 sided die is rolled. 4 results each map to 7, 8 and 9, and 3 results each map to 6 and 10. 
Results : 16.7% chance of 6 or 10, and 22.2% chance of 7, 8, or 9 damage." 

Images below should make this much clearer 

Damage Roulette SW option: Regular hits range from MWD*0.5 to MWD*1.5, and crits range from MWD*1.5 to MWD*2.5. Note that critical hits then average at MWD*2 instead of MWD*1.5.

==LR MWD randomization for non-crits==
[[File:LR_MWD_randomisation_noncrit.jpg|center|800x357px]]

Y axis has MWD values. Numbers on a Rows are possible Randomisation results for that particular MWD .. The average value of the interval is always the MWD..(red columns in the middle ). Rightmost column has weapon's damage range (min,max) for MWD.
Table goes up to MWD 31 (not sure if that it can be currently reached even during endgame) ...

Calculating the probability for a particular value to come up is easy: sum(nr of times value appears on row) / sum(nr total values on row)

So for MWD 10 scoring 7 or 13 damage has 1/22 probability while scoring a 8,9,10 or 11 have 4/22 probability .. 

For each MWD level probabilities for each possible values are not the same (sometimes edge values (maximum deviation from average) can have lower probabilities) . (I'm NOT talking chance of combined events (or) - I'm talking chance for each event separately ) 

-going up a MWD level doesn't always guarantee increase of minimum possible damage. 
-pumping MWD increases weapon's average damage linearly but also its variance (less dependable) ..Could overkill in a turn and do significantly less damage the next turn .. 

Ballistic shotgun and LMG BWD 6 have 1/14 chances to do only 4 damage on a non crit.. 
Ballistic Shiv autocannon BWD 7 has 2/16 chance to do only 5 damage on non-crit 

==LR WMD randomisation for crits==
[[File:LR_MWD_randomisation_crits.jpg|center|800x357px]]

Y axis has MWD values. Numbers on a Rows are possible Randomisation results for that particular MWD .. The average value of the interval is the MWD * 1.5 where possible (even MWD) ... For odd MWD values [MWD *1.5] and [MWD* 1.5 +1] (integer part) are used ... Rightmost column has weapon's critical damage range (min,max) for MWD.

Calculating the probability for a particular value to come up is easy: sum(nr of times value appears on row) / sum(nr total values on row) 

-going up a MWD always increases minimum critical damage possible (sometimes even by 2) 
-as game progresses and alien MWD goes up it gets very difficult to protect your soldiers from 1 hit kills 

Ballistic pistol: BWD 2 has 1/6 chances to do 4 on a crit and 5/6 to do 3 
Ballistic sniper/marksman rifle: BWD 5 have 2/12 to score only 6 damage on crit 
Gunslinger Laser Pistol: MWD (3+1) has 5-7 crit damage range 
Battle Rifle with Ranger MWD (5+1) has 8-11 crit range (1 shot most early game sectoids/thinmen or exalts) 
Heavy Laser Rifle with Ranger and Enhanced Beam Optics: MWD (6+1+1) has 10-14 crit range 
Heavy Pulse Rifle with Ranger and Enhanced Beam Optics and VPT: MWD (8+1+1+2) has 15-21 crit range 

==e. Subtract damage lost to target DR. ==
Long War adds a new mechanic called Damage Reduction. When a unit takes damage, it is reduced by the damage reduction value. It can be seen in game as a blue shield indication next to the normal red damage indication.

Damage reduction is gained in various ways:
* Low cover gives 0.66 damage reduction.
* High cover gives 1.0 damage reduction.
* Several perks grant damage reduction.
* Mechanized units commonly have built in damage reduction of varying amounts.

Hunker Down doubles the damage reduction effect of cover, as well as the normal effect of doubling the defense it gives.

If the damage reduction a unit has is not a whole number, the damage is reduced by one of the two nearest whole numbers, with probability based on the fraction. For example, a unit with 1.66 damage reduction has a 66% chance of the damage being reduced by 2 and a 34% chance of the damage being reduced by 1.

Damage reduction can have several interesting effects on game play. One is that a shot against a unit may do 0 damage if the damage inflicted is reduced to 0, which can be a nasty surprise if trying to finish off a 1 HP enemy with a pistol. Once you come up against more advanced units, particularly mechanized ones, you may find yourself completely unable to damage them with lighter weapons such as carbines.

===In Detail===
The steps in AbsorbDamage are:
# Non-cover, flat DR is applied:
## General damage reduction stat (including MEC suits, armors, small items, and Iron Skin).
## Damage Control reduces damage by 1.5.
## Mind Merge on an XCOM soldier reduces damage by Will/50.
## One for All active reduces damage to MEC by 1.
## Each Ethereal still alive in the final Temple Ship room reduces damage to Uber Ethereal by 15.
# All percentage DR is applied (multiplicatively):
## Combat Stims active multiplies damage by 0.6 if soldier is in cover and not flanked.
## Impact Vest and chryssalids multiply melee and Kinetic Strike damage by 0.6.
## Mechtoid with psi shield multiplies damage by 0.5
## Shock-Absorbent Armor multiplies damage by 0.667 if source is within 4 tiles.
## Absorption Fields multiplies any damage beyond 2 points by 0.6 (ex: 12 damage -> 2 + 0.6 * 10 = 8 damage).
# Acid negates the higher of 50% or 3 points of the above DR.
# Flat DR from cover is applied if unit is not flanked, and weapon is not an AP Grenade:
## Low Cover reduces damage by 0.667, Full Cover reduces damage by 1.0.
## Hunkering down reduces damage by a further 0.667 or 1.0.
## Will to Survive reduces damage by 1.5.
## Fortiores Una reduces damage by a further 0.667 or 1.0.
# Effects that negate DR (except acid) are applied:
## Combined Arms increases damage by 1.0.
## Armor-piercing ammo increases damage by 2.0.
## Gauss weapons increase damage by 0.33, or 0.667 with Quenchguns researched.
## Final damage is capped at pre-DR damage.
# If there is any net DR from the above steps, it is multiplied by 1.5 if damage source is a shotgun without breaching ammo.

==f. Explosive extra RNG layer==

Each unit has the damage reduced based on distance from the center. Damage falls off as the square of the radius. 
For each target hit by explosive blast roll for -1,0,1 to damage (that's why explosive damage ranges are wider than gun damage ranges they get -1 to min and +1 to max) 

".. explosive-specific damage effects happen before shredding is applied.." Amineri .

==g. Add shredding bonus damage . ==

What's left after DR (if any) *1.4 if target is shredded ..

if(iDamage > 0)
{
iDamage += Max((iDamage * 4) / 10, 1);
}

'''Shredding debuff can be completely negated by high DR.'''
But if any sliver of damage makes it past DR, shredding will always add at least 1 extra damage point.. Sapping target DR (removing cover, breaching ammo, acid debuff) can help mitigate to an extent the negative effect high DR can have on shredding effect ..

==h. Add HeatAmmo bonus damage to robots ==

" iDamage += Max(1, (XGWeapon(kItem).GetDamageStat()) / 2);"

BWD * 1/2 truncated down .. Constant value - no RNG involved .. Bypasses all DR mechanics (guard your mechs & SHIV) and does NOT benefit from debuffs (acid/shred) or crit roll

Strategic advice:
Since it ignores so many of the regular weapon damage process - sometimes it makes sense to apply the bonus heat ammo damage using abilities that are easy to hit with but don't do otherwise do much damage ... Flush, Suppression/Mayhem and Collateral Damage all make great methods of delivery ..

<div style="float:right">{{Header (Long War)}}__TOC__</div>
Some '''Artifacts''' that previously had no value are now used by the game as prerequisites for research projects or Foundry projects, particularly Alien Stasis Tanks and Alien Surgeries. Within the Gray Market listings, the green text "This item has no research benefit, and can be sold freely" is still correct in that these items will never be a part of any research project, Foundry project, or as a prerequisite for manufacturing any items. However, you may still get pending resource requests for some of these items from XCOM countries. As an example, Alien Entertainment can be requested by a country in exchange for panic reduction.

Beyond that, the changes are mostly to the Gray Market values for these resources. Acquisitions from Alien Base assaults and the EXALT HQ are much more valuable, encouraging XCOM to liberate withdrawn nations when possible and forcing the player to consider the benefits of selling these resources for quick cash versus possibly fulfilling later country resource requests.

Another notable difference is that alien weapons obtained through stunning enemies with the Arc Thrower cannot be used directly, but are consumed to manufacture XCOM plasma weapons, including interceptor, SHIV, and MEC plasma weapons. Alien Rifles (from captured Mutons and Heavy Floaters) are used in the production of most plasma weapons (including the Plasma Rifle, Plasma Novagun, and interceptor Plasma Cannon). Alien Carbines (from Floaters, Outsiders, and Thin Men) are used in the production of the lighter XCOM soldier weapons such as the Plasma Carbine. Alien Heavy Weapons (from Muton Elites) are used in the production of the MEC and SHIV plasma weapons. Additionally, some of these alien weapons may be required in order to perform the associated plasma research in the first place.

* Note that the '''Fusion Core''' and '''Outsider Shard''' are only needed to unlock their associated research - the unlocked research does not use up one of these artifacts.
* Enhanced Plasma requires a Plasma Dragon, which needs an '''Alien Heavy Weapon''' to make.

==Alien materials==
These materials are required in large numbers for almost all production that is based on alien technology.

==Corpses==
In Long War, you need more than a single corpse or wreck to perform an autopsy. Most corpses are also required for additional research and production.

==Captives==
From time to time, you will receive a council request for a captive alien. These are almost always great deals, and since you don't need the captives after the initial interrogation, it is recommended to accept these deals at all times. Note that when you tear down the Alien Containment facility, all Alien captives are killed.

Damage (Long War)

2015-08-08T18:35:29Z

Demes: new plasma tech special added

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b15}}

 <div style="float:right">__TOC__</div> 

== Weapon Damage Calculation ==

Disclaimer: information bellow is compiled from various dev posts, dev PMs, etc (therefore very likely NOT 100% accurate - we'll hopefully add the missing bits // correct mistakes in the future ) .. It does not paint the complete picture, but it is the best we've got ..

Terms: base_weapon_damage (BWD) - this is each weapon damage stat configurable in DGG.ini . The weapon ranges shown in game in barracks are computed (randomization process) based on this 1 stat with an algorithm designed by Amineri for long war.

Stated design goal (Amineri) " ..Damage variance in general is approximately uniform, but scales linearly with the base damage... WHY I went through the trouble to scale the damage randomization with base damage ? ..ultimately, the motivator for reworking damage variance was part of the effort to change the difficulty curve to make early game easier and late game harder. "

Should be much clearer when we get to examine the randomization process and some nice colored tables .. (Madlaxstreams's idea)

Big steps for calculating damage inflicted by weapon fire

a. Roll for hit. Roll for crit. 
b. Multiplicative skills cut the MWD (flush, perhaps Disabling shot ) 
c. Weapon_Modified_Damage (MWD) is computed (sum of WBD and all the +X to weapon damage from equipped items and relevant perks) 
d. Randomisation Process. Roll for damage value in damage range (+- 25 %) (same process for crit and-not crit shots) .. 
e. Run target DR gauntlet (multiple steps) 
f. Explosive damage extra RNG layer 
g. Apply shredder bonus to any remaining damage past target DR 
h. Add HeatAmmo bonus damage to robots 

Details

==b. Not sure about this (no source) %perk modifier ==

This is probably where %penalty for some skills is applied (flush / disabling shot) 

test info seems to indicate BWD*=0.5 for Flush.. (rounded down) Which means flush damage range increases by going up to even BWD number for the weapon..Upping weapon tech to odd BWD will not increase flush damage (due to rounding down).. 

Flush damage table range (will include one later).. Keep in mind +X damage perks do add after flush - this would be just the flush damage without the +X damage perks .. 

Disabling shot works the same .. 

Shredder rocket seems to work similar to flush .. BWD *0.6 rounded down and then +X added .. 

==c. Modified_Weapon_Damage (MWD) is computed ==
(sum of BWD and all the +X to weapon damage from equipped items and relevant perks)

Ex: 
- ranger adds +1 to primary weapon 
- gunslinger +1 to side arms 
- VPT adds +2 to primary weapon and +1 to secondary vs relevant targets 
- sapper +1 to HE and AP grenades; +2 to alien grenades 
- foundry project +1 damage for sidearms (Reflex Pistols ) 
- foundry project +2 damage for AP grenades (Alien Grenades) 
- foundry project- plasma research gives +1 to all plasma weapons 
- One of the various damage-increasing plasma weapon tech specials +1 
- damage items (Alloy-Jacketed Rounds , Enhanced Beam Optics , Plasma Stellerator) add +1 to relevant weapons (INCLUDING SIDEARMS) 
- Mayhem adds +2 damage for most explosive grenades, proximity mines and rocket launcher ammo. Confers +2 damage for SAW- and LMG- series weapons (+1 when using Flush), Recoilless Rifle and Blaster Launcher ammo, and alien grenades. Confers +4 damage for sniper and long rifles, marksman's, strike and reflex rifles. 
- Precision shot adds (based on weapon tech) for crits (+2 for ballistic, laser and gauss SR ; +3 for pulse ; +4 for plasma) 
- Bring'em On on adds 1,2 enemy => +1 damage 3-4 enemies => +2 damage 5-6 enemies => +3 damage 7 or more enemies => +4 damage (side arms too) 
- KI adds extra BWD * 0.334 (rounded up) in case of crit (because 1.334 * 1.5 = 2.001). KI description is only true (+50% damage) if there are no other bonuses in play .. Typically in actual play the bonus provided by KI is lower than +50% .. Skill description should probably state +33.4% of BWD rounded up but since they don't ever show BWD in game .. check bellow for possible values 
2 (Assault Rifle, Laser Rifle, Battle Rifle);3 (shotgun, heavy laser rifle, scatter laser, gauss rifle, heavy gauss rifle, alloy cannon, pulse rifle , heavy pulse rifle, plasma rifle); 4 (scatter blaster , heavy plasma rifle , reflex cannon) . Works with side arms too but since side arms have lower BWD - gain will be less ..

- ..

==d. The randomization roll .==

The purpose of the randomisation is to pick a integer value in roughly [MWD*0.75, MWD*1.25] interval (centered on/average value is MWD ) for non-crits and same length interval approximately shifted + 0.5 * MWD for critical hits (thus centered on MWD*1.5)

Amineri 
" The way it's computed is that a die of size 2 x damage (WMD) + 2 is rolled. Each integer point of final damage gets 4 possible results. 
Examples: 
1) 5 base damage -- a 12 sided die is rolled, with 4 chances each for 4, 5, or 6 damage on a non-critical hit. A critical hit is centered at 7.5 damage, so 4 results each map to 7 and 8, and 2 results each map to 6 and 9. 
Results : 33.3% chance of 4, 5 or 6 damage on non-crit, and 16.7% chance of 6 or 9 and 33.3% chance of 7 or 8 damage on a crit. 
2) 3 base damage - an 8 sided die is rolled. 4 results map to 3 damage, and 2 results each map to 2 and 4 damage. 
Results : 25% chance of 2 or 4 damage, 50% chance of 3 damage 
3) 8 base damage - an 18 sided die is rolled. 4 results each map to 7, 8 and 9, and 3 results each map to 6 and 10. 
Results : 16.7% chance of 6 or 10, and 22.2% chance of 7, 8, or 9 damage." 

Images below should make this much clearer 

Damage Roulette SW option: Regular hits range from MWD*0.5 to MWD*1.5, and crits range from MWD*1.5 to MWD*2.5. Note that critical hits then average at MWD*2 instead of MWD*1.5.

==LR MWD randomization for non-crits==
[[File:LR_MWD_randomisation_noncrit.jpg|center|800x357px]]

Y axis has MWD values. Numbers on a Rows are possible Randomisation results for that particular MWD .. The average value of the interval is always the MWD..(red columns in the middle ). Rightmost column has weapon's damage range (min,max) for MWD.
Table goes up to MWD 31 (not sure if that it can be currently reached even during endgame) ...

Calculating the probability for a particular value to come up is easy: sum(nr of times value appears on row) / sum(nr total values on row)

So for MWD 10 scoring 7 or 13 damage has 1/22 probability while scoring a 8,9,10 or 11 have 4/22 probability .. 

For each MWD level probabilities for each possible values are not the same (sometimes edge values (maximum deviation from average) can have lower probabilities) . (I'm NOT talking chance of combined events (or) - I'm talking chance for each event separately ) 

-going up a MWD level doesn't always guarantee increase of minimum possible damage. 
-pumping MWD increases weapon's average damage linearly but also its variance (less dependable) ..Could overkill in a turn and do significantly less damage the next turn .. 

Ballistic shotgun and LMG BWD 6 have 1/14 chances to do only 4 damage on a non crit.. 
Ballistic Shiv autocannon BWD 7 has 2/16 chance to do only 5 damage on non-crit 

==LR WMD randomisation for crits==
[[File:LR_MWD_randomisation_crits.jpg|center|800x357px]]

Y axis has MWD values. Numbers on a Rows are possible Randomisation results for that particular MWD .. The average value of the interval is the MWD * 1.5 where possible (even MWD) ... For odd MWD values [MWD *1.5] and [MWD* 1.5 +1] (integer part) are used ... Rightmost column has weapon's critical damage range (min,max) for MWD.

Calculating the probability for a particular value to come up is easy: sum(nr of times value appears on row) / sum(nr total values on row) 

-going up a MWD always increases minimum critical damage possible (sometimes even by 2) 
-as game progresses and alien MWD goes up it gets very difficult to protect your soldiers from 1 hit kills 

Ballistic pistol: BWD 2 has 1/6 chances to do 4 on a crit and 5/6 to do 3 
Ballistic sniper/marksman rifle: BWD 5 have 2/12 to score only 6 damage on crit 
Gunslinger Laser Pistol: MWD (3+1) has 5-7 crit damage range 
Battle Rifle with Ranger MWD (5+1) has 8-11 crit range (1 shot most early game sectoids/thinmen or exalts) 
Heavy Laser Rifle with Ranger and Enhanced Beam Optics: MWD (6+1+1) has 10-14 crit range 
Heavy Pulse Rifle with Ranger and Enhanced Beam Optics and VPT: MWD (8+1+1+2) has 15-21 crit range 

==e. Subtract damage lost to target DR. ==
Long War adds a new mechanic called Damage Reduction. When a unit takes damage, it is reduced by the damage reduction value. It can be seen in game as a blue shield indication next to the normal red damage indication.

Damage reduction is gained in various ways:
* Low cover gives 0.66 damage reduction.
* High cover gives 1.0 damage reduction.
* Several perks grant damage reduction.
* Mechanized units commonly have built in damage reduction of varying amounts.

Hunker Down doubles the damage reduction effect of cover, as well as the normal effect of doubling the defense it gives.

If the damage reduction a unit has is not a whole number, the damage is reduced by one of the two nearest whole numbers, with probability based on the fraction. For example, a unit with 1.66 damage reduction has a 66% chance of the damage being reduced by 2 and a 34% chance of the damage being reduced by 1.

Damage reduction can have several interesting effects on game play. One is that a shot against a unit may do 0 damage if the damage inflicted is reduced to 0, which can be a nasty surprise if trying to finish off a 1 HP enemy with a pistol. Once you come up against more advanced units, particularly mechanized ones, you may find yourself completely unable to damage them with lighter weapons such as carbines.

===In Detail===
The steps in AbsorbDamage are:
# Non-cover, flat DR is applied:
## General damage reduction stat (including MEC suits, armors, small items, and Iron Skin).
## Damage Control reduces damage by 1.5.
## Mind Merge on an XCOM soldier reduces damage by Will/50.
## One for All active reduces damage to MEC by 1.
## Each Ethereal still alive in the final Temple Ship room reduces damage to Uber Ethereal by 15.
# All percentage DR is applied (multiplicatively):
## Combat Stims active multiplies damage by 0.6 if soldier is in cover and not flanked.
## Impact Vest and chryssalids multiply melee and Kinetic Strike damage by 0.6.
## Mechtoid with psi shield multiplies damage by 0.5
## Shock-Absorbent Armor multiplies damage by 0.667 if source is within 4 tiles.
## Absorption Fields multiplies any damage beyond 2 points by 0.6 (ex: 12 damage -> 2 + 0.6 * 10 = 8 damage).
# Acid negates the higher of 50% or 3 points of the above DR.
# Flat DR from cover is applied if unit is not flanked, and weapon is not an AP Grenade:
## Low Cover reduces damage by 0.667, Full Cover reduces damage by 1.0.
## Hunkering down reduces damage by a further 0.667 or 1.0.
## Will to Survive reduces damage by 1.5.
## Fortiores Una reduces damage by a further 0.667 or 1.0.
# Effects that negate DR (except acid) are applied:
## Combined Arms increases damage by 1.0.
## Armor-piercing ammo increases damage by 2.0.
## Gauss weapons increase damage by 0.33, or 0.667 with Quenchguns researched.
## Final damage is capped at pre-DR damage.
# If there is any net DR from the above steps, it is multiplied by 1.5 if damage source is a shotgun without breaching ammo.

==f. Explosive extra RNG layer==

Each unit has the damage reduced based on distance from the center. Damage falls off as the square of the radius. 
For each target hit by explosive blast roll for -1,0,1 to damage (that's why explosive damage ranges are wider than gun damage ranges they get -1 to min and +1 to max) 

".. explosive-specific damage effects happen before shredding is applied.." Amineri .

==g. Add shredding bonus damage . ==

What's left after DR (if any) *0.4 if target is shredded ..

if(iDamage > 0)
{
iDamage += Max((iDamage * 4) / 10, 1);
}

Shredding debuff can be completely negated by high DR. But if any sliver of damage makes it past DR, shredding will always add at least 1 extra damage point.. Sapping target DR (removing cover, breaching ammo, acid debuff) can help mitigate to an extent the negative effect high DR can have on shredding effect ..

==h. Add HeatAmmo bonus damage to robots ==

" iDamage += Max(1, (XGWeapon(kItem).GetDamageStat()) / 2);"

BWD * 1/2 truncated down .. Constant value - no RNG involved .. Bypasses all DR mechanics (guard your mechs & SHIV) and does NOT benefit from debuffs (acid/shred) or crit roll

Strategic advice:
Since it ignores so many of the regular weapon damage process - sometimes it makes sense to apply the bonus heat ammo damage using abilities that are easy to hit with but don't do otherwise do much damage ... Flush, Suppression/Mayhem and Collateral Damage all make great methods of delivery ..

Should be much clearer when we get to examine the randomization process and some nice colored tables .. (Madlaxstreams's idea)

Big steps for calculating damage inflicted by weapon fire

a. Roll for hit. Roll for crit. 
b. Multiplicative skills cut the MWD (flush, perhaps Disabling shot ) 
c. Weapon_Modified_Damage (MWD) is computed (sum of WBD and all the +X to weapon damage from equipped items and relevant perks) 
d. Randomisation Process. Roll for damage value in damage range (+- 25 %) (same process for crit and-not crit shots) .. 
e. Run target DR gauntlet (multiple steps) 
f. Explosive damage extra RNG layer 
g. Apply shredder bonus to any remaining damage past target DR 
h. Add HeatAmmo bonus damage to robots 

Details

==b. Not sure about this (no source) %perk modifier ==

This is probably where %penalty for some skills is applied (flush / disabling shot) 

test info seems to indicate BWD*=0.5 for Flush.. (rounded down) Which means flush damage range increases by going up to even BWD number for the weapon..Upping weapon tech to odd BWD will not increase flush damage (due to rounding down).. 

Flush damage table range (will include one later).. Keep in mind +X damage perks do add after flush - this would be just the flush damage without the +X damage perks .. 

Disabling shot works the same .. 

Shredder rocket seems to work similar to flush .. BWD *0.6 rounded down and then +X added .. 

==c. Modified_Weapon_Damage (MWD) is computed ==
(sum of BWD and all the +X to weapon damage from equipped items and relevant perks)

Ex: 
- ranger adds +1 to primary weapon 
- gunslinger +1 to side arms 
- VPT adds +2 to primary weapon and +1 to secondary vs relevant targets 
- sapper +1 to HE and AP grenades; +2 to alien grenades 
- foundry project +1 damage for sidearms (Reflex Pistols ) 
- foundry project +2 damage for AP grenades (Alien Grenades) 
- foundry project- plasma research gives +1 to all plasma weapons 
- damage items (Alloy-Jacketed Rounds , Enhanced Beam Optics , Plasma Stellerator) add +1 to relevant weapons (INCLUDING SIDEARMS) 
- Mayhem adds +1 damage for most explosive grenades, proximity mines and rocket launcher ammo. Confers +2 damage for SAW- and LMG- series weapons (+1 when using Flush), Recoilless Rifle and Blaster Launcher ammo, and alien grenades. Confers +4 damage for sniper and long rifles, marksman's, strike and reflex rifles. 
- Precision shot adds (based on weapon tech) for crits (+2 for ballistic, laser and gauss SR ; +3 for pulse ; +4 for plasma) 
- Bring'em On on adds 1,2 enemy => +1 damage 3-4 enemies => +2 damage 5-6 enemies => +3 damage 7 or more enemies => +4 damage (side arms too) 
- KI adds extra BWD * 0.334 (rounded up) in case of crit (because 1.334 * 1.5 = 2.001). KI description is only true (+50% damage) if there are no other bonuses in play .. Typically in actual play the bonus provided by KI is lower than +50% .. Skill description should probably state +33.4% of BWD rounded up but since they don't ever show BWD in game .. check bellow for possible values 
2 (Assault Rifle, Laser Rifle, Battle Rifle);3 (shotgun, heavy laser rifle, scatter laser, gauss rifle, heavy gauss rifle, alloy cannon, pulse rifle , heavy pulse rifle, plasma rifle); 4 (scatter blaster , heavy plasma rifle , reflex cannon) . Works with side arms too but since side arms have lower BWD - gain will be less ..

- ..

==d. The randomization roll .==

The purpose of the randomisation is to pick a integer value in roughly [MWD*0.75, MWD*1.25] interval (centered on/average value is MWD ) for non-crits and same length interval approximately shifted + 0.5 * MWD for critical hits (thus centered on MWD*1.5)

Amineri 
" The way it's computed is that a die of size 2 x damage (WMD) + 2 is rolled. Each integer point of final damage gets 4 possible results. 
Examples: 
1) 5 base damage -- a 12 sided die is rolled, with 4 chances each for 4, 5, or 6 damage on a non-critical hit. A critical hit is centered at 7.5 damage, so 4 results each map to 7 and 8, and 2 results each map to 6 and 9. 
Results : 33.3% chance of 4, 5 or 6 damage on non-crit, and 16.7% chance of 6 or 9 and 33.3% chance of 7 or 8 damage on a crit. 
2) 3 base damage - an 8 sided die is rolled. 4 results map to 3 damage, and 2 results each map to 2 and 4 damage. 
Results : 25% chance of 2 or 4 damage, 50% chance of 3 damage 
3) 8 base damage - an 18 sided die is rolled. 4 results each map to 7, 8 and 9, and 3 results each map to 6 and 10. 
Results : 16.7% chance of 6 or 10, and 22.2% chance of 7, 8, or 9 damage." 

Images below should make this much clearer 

Damage Roulette SW option: Regular hits range from MWD*0.5 to MWD*1.5, and crits range from MWD*1.5 to MWD*2.5. Note that critical hits then average at MWD*2 instead of MWD*1.5.

==LR MWD randomization for non-crits==
[[File:LR_MWD_randomisation_noncrit.jpg|center|800x357px]]

Y axis has MWD values. Numbers on a Rows are possible Randomisation results for that particular MWD .. The average value of the interval is always the MWD..(red columns in the middle ). Rightmost column has weapon's damage range (min,max) for MWD.
Table goes up to MWD 31 (not sure if that it can be currently reached even during endgame) ...

Calculating the probability for a particular value to come up is easy: sum(nr of times value appears on row) / sum(nr total values on row)

So for MWD 10 scoring 7 or 13 damage has 1/22 probability while scoring a 8,9,10 or 11 have 4/22 probability .. 

For each MWD level probabilities for each possible values are not the same (sometimes edge values (maximum deviation from average) can have lower probabilities) . (I'm NOT talking chance of combined events (or) - I'm talking chance for each event separately ) 

-going up a MWD level doesn't always guarantee increase of minimum possible damage. 
-pumping MWD increases weapon's average damage linearly but also its variance (less dependable) ..Could overkill in a turn and do significantly less damage the next turn .. 

Ballistic shotgun and LMG BWD 6 have 1/14 chances to do only 4 damage on a non crit.. 
Ballistic Shiv autocannon BWD 7 has 2/16 chance to do only 5 damage on non-crit 

==LR WMD randomisation for crits==
[[File:LR_MWD_randomisation_crits.jpg|center|800x357px]]

Y axis has MWD values. Numbers on a Rows are possible Randomisation results for that particular MWD .. The average value of the interval is the MWD * 1.5 where possible (even MWD) ... For odd MWD values [MWD *1.5] and [MWD* 1.5 +1] (integer part) are used ... Rightmost column has weapon's critical damage range (min,max) for MWD.

Calculating the probability for a particular value to come up is easy: sum(nr of times value appears on row) / sum(nr total values on row) 

-going up a MWD always increases minimum critical damage possible (sometimes even by 2) 
-as game progresses and alien MWD goes up it gets very difficult to protect your soldiers from 1 hit kills 

Ballistic pistol: BWD 2 has 1/6 chances to do 4 on a crit and 5/6 to do 3 
Ballistic sniper/marksman rifle: BWD 5 have 2/12 to score only 6 damage on crit 
Gunslinger Laser Pistol: MWD (3+1) has 5-7 crit damage range 
Battle Rifle with Ranger MWD (5+1) has 8-11 crit range (1 shot most early game sectoids/thinmen or exalts) 
Heavy Laser Rifle with Ranger and Enhanced Beam Optics: MWD (6+1+1) has 10-14 crit range 
Heavy Pulse Rifle with Ranger and Enhanced Beam Optics and VPT: MWD (8+1+1+2) has 15-21 crit range 

==e. Subtract damage lost to target DR. ==
Long War adds a new mechanic called Damage Reduction. When a unit takes damage, it is reduced by the damage reduction value. It can be seen in game as a blue shield indication next to the normal red damage indication.

Damage reduction is gained in various ways:
* Low cover gives 0.66 damage reduction.
* High cover gives 1.0 damage reduction.
* Several perks grant damage reduction.
* Mechanized units commonly have built in damage reduction of varying amounts.

Hunker Down doubles the damage reduction effect of cover, as well as the normal effect of doubling the defense it gives.

If the damage reduction a unit has is not a whole number, the damage is reduced by one of the two nearest whole numbers, with probability based on the fraction. For example, a unit with 1.66 damage reduction has a 66% chance of the damage being reduced by 2 and a 34% chance of the damage being reduced by 1.

Damage reduction can have several interesting effects on game play. One is that a shot against a unit may do 0 damage if the damage inflicted is reduced to 0, which can be a nasty surprise if trying to finish off a 1 HP enemy with a pistol. Once you come up against more advanced units, particularly mechanized ones, you may find yourself completely unable to damage them with lighter weapons such as carbines.

===In Detail===
The steps in AbsorbDamage are:
# Non-cover, flat DR is applied:
## General damage reduction stat (including MEC suits, armors, small items, and Iron Skin).
## Damage Control reduces damage by 1.5.
## Mind Merge on an XCOM soldier reduces damage by Will/50.
## One for All active reduces damage to MEC by 1.
## Each Ethereal still alive in the final Temple Ship room reduces damage to Uber Ethereal by 15.
# All percentage DR is applied (multiplicatively):
## Combat Stims active multiplies damage by 0.6 if soldier is in cover and not flanked.
## Impact Vest and chryssalids multiply melee and Kinetic Strike damage by 0.6.
## Mechtoid with psi shield multiplies damage by 0.5
## Shock-Absorbent Armor multiplies damage by 0.667 if source is within 4 tiles.
## Absorption Fields multiplies any damage beyond 2 points by 0.6 (ex: 12 damage -> 2 + 0.6 * 10 = 8 damage).
# Acid negates the higher of 50% or 3 points of the above DR.
# Flat DR from cover is applied if unit is not flanked, and weapon is not an AP Grenade:
## Low Cover reduces damage by 0.667, Full Cover reduces damage by 1.0.
## Hunkering down reduces damage by a further 0.667 or 1.0.
## Will to Survive reduces damage by 1.5.
## Fortiores Una reduces damage by a further 0.667 or 1.0.
# Effects that negate DR (except acid) are applied:
## Combined Arms increases damage by 1.0.
## Armor-piercing ammo increases damage by 2.0.
## Gauss weapons increase damage by 0.33, or 0.667 with Quenchguns researched.
## Final damage is capped at pre-DR damage.
# If there is any net DR from the above steps, it is multiplied by 1.5 if damage source is a shotgun without breaching ammo.

==f. Explosive extra RNG layer==

Each unit has the damage reduced based on distance from the center. Damage falls off as the square of the radius. 
For each target hit by explosive blast roll for -1,0,1 to damage (that's why explosive damage ranges are wider than gun damage ranges they get -1 to min and +1 to max) 

".. explosive-specific damage effects happen before shredding is applied.." Amineri .

==g. Add shredding bonus damage . ==

What's left after DR (if any) *0.4 if target is shredded ..

if(iDamage > 0)
{
iDamage += Max((iDamage * 4) / 10, 1);
}

Shredding debuff can be completely negated by high DR. But if any sliver of damage makes it past DR, shredding will always add at least 1 extra damage point.. Sapping target DR (removing cover, breaching ammo, acid debuff) can help mitigate to an extent the negative effect high DR can have on shredding effect ..

==h. Add HeatAmmo bonus damage to robots ==

" iDamage += Max(1, (XGWeapon(kItem).GetDamageStat()) / 2);"

BWD * 1/2 truncated down .. Constant value - no RNG involved .. Bypasses all DR mechanics (guard your mechs & SHIV) and does NOT benefit from debuffs (acid/shred) or crit roll

== Weapon Damage Calculation ==

Disclaimer: information bellow is compiled from various dev posts, dev PMs, etc (therefore very likely NOT 100% accurate - we'll hopefully add the missing bits // correct mistakes in the future ) .. It does not paint the complete picture, but it is the best we've got ..

Terms: base_weapon_damage (BWD) - this is each weapon damage stat configurable in DGG.ini . The weapon ranges shown in game in barracks are computed (randomization process) based on this 1 stat with an algorithm designed by Amineri for long war.

Stated design goal (Amineri) " ..Damage variance in general is approximately uniform, but scales linearly with the base damage... WHY I went through the trouble to scale the damage randomization with base damage ? ..ultimately, the motivator for reworking damage variance was part of the effort to change the difficulty curve to make early game easier and late game harder.
