== Weapon Types ==

=== Weapon Tiers ===

==== Conventional/Ballistic ====

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

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

==== Arc ====

There are 3 Arc Weapons: the Arc Rifle, Arc Pistol, and the Stun Rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of each, the Stun Rifle is mandatory to win the game.

The Arc Rifle and Pistol only deal full damage against Mechanical units and have hefty penetration.

==== Beam Lasers ====

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Beam lasers have increased accuracy and higher crit.

<div style="max-width:680px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +10 aim, +20 crit
Note: Pistol gains more crit but no aim
</div>

==== Gauss ====

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

Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons at the cost of being heavier. The 'Quenchguns' foundry project will grant all Gauss primary weapons a +10 penetration bonus against all units, which helps make Gauss weapons even more effective.

<div style="max-width:240px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +0.6 weight
</div>

==== Pulse Lasers ====

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

<div style="max-width:680px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +15 aim, +30 crit
Note: Pistol gains more crit but no aim
</div>

==== Plasma ====

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons available to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. They are also impervious to damage or destruction so commanders can feel safe bringing them on late game missions. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

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

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

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon
! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|Vulcan Cannons
| 250%
|-
|LMGs, Autocannons, and MEC Weapons
| 200%
|-
|Shotguns, SAWs and Sniper Rifles
| 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles and Strike Rifles
| 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles
| 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Carbines, SMGs, Pistols and Machine Pistols
| 75%
|}

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

===Assault Rifles===
Assault Rifles are the baseline rifle, providing a decent balance of weight, accuracy and firepower. Their base ammo is 4 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 100%. Assault Rifles gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Battle Rifles===
Battle Rifles are heavier versions of Assault Rifles. They trade mobility and ammo capacity for increased damage output. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 125%. Battle Rifles gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Carbines===
Carbines are lighter versions of Assault Rifles focusing more on aim and mobility. They are light-weight and have higher aim but deal reduced damage. Their base ammo is 3 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 75%. Carbines gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===SMGs===
SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They are light-weight and have high crit damage. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by ammo conservation), and their base damage is 75%. SMGs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10).

===Shotguns===
Shotguns have limited range but high damage. Their low base crit chances are offset by proximity/flanking bonuses due to [[Other Abilities (LWR)#Pinpoint Accuracy|'''Pinpoint Accuracy''']]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%. Shotguns gain extra aim for being in close proximity to a target (+10 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-10 aim per tile further than 10).

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to aim, mobility and crit. They cannot be steadied unless paired with [[Equipment#Weapon Attachment|Alloy Bipod]]. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Bulletstorm|Bulletstorm]], [[Abilities List (LWR)#Burst|Burst]], and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Shredder|Shredder]] abilities. Their base ammo is 5 and their base damage is 150%. SAWs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have greater damage, ammo, and provide [[Abilities List (LWR)#Bulletstorm|Bulletstorm]], [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]], [[Abilities List (LWR)#Burst|Burst]], and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Shredder|Shredder]] abilities; but have even less mobility, aim, crit, and remove a small equipment slot. They cannot be steadied unless paired with [[Equipment#Weapon Attachment|Alloy Bipod]]. Their base ammo is 5 and their base damage is 200%. LMGs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Strike Rifles===
Strike Rifles are lighter versions of Sniper Rifles, restricted in use to Scouts and Snipers. They support [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], meaning Snipers can always fire at long ranges and Scouts can with the help of a Marksman Scope. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 125%. Strike rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are only available to Snipers. Regular shots that operate at [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] ranges and have lower Squadsight penalties (2 aim per tile instead of 5). Note that reaction shots do not fire at Squadsight ranges. Sniper Rifles require 2 AP to fire, and thus cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%. Sniper rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MECs]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal heavy damage tied with SHIV autocannons. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%. MEC weapons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Autocannons===
Autocannons are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIVs]]. They deal heavy damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different SHIV configurations. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%. Autocannons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 250%. Vulcan Cannons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10).

===Arc Primary Weapons ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives bonus damage and penetration against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 100/92/80% chances respectively. The Elerium Batteries foundry project improves this further. In addition, failed stuns on aliens at or below 4 HP will [[Other Abilities (LWR)#Maim|Maim]]. The Elerium Batteries foundry project also grants an extra ammo to both weapons. Arc Rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

== Secondary Weapons ==

LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier except Gauss, and a machine pistol for Ballistic, Gauss and Plasma.

'''Units that cannot use secondary weapons''': Privates, Gunners, and SHIVs

'''Units that cannot use sidearms and have unique secondary weapons''': Rocketeers and MECs

All sidearms grant the '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Maim|Maim]]''' ability.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%. Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.

There are no basic Pistol equivalents for the Gauss tier.

===Autopistols===
Autopistols grant increased base damage during critical hits in exchange for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%. Machine Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.

There are no Autopistol equivalents for either Laser tier.

===Arc Pistol===
The Arc Pistol is similar to its Arc Rifle counterpart, dealing less damage but with the properties of a pistol, making it effective at close ranges instead of long ranges. Arc Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage secondary weapon. It is useful for soldiers that need a powerful and accurate close-range weapon to defend themselves in a pinch, but won't fare as well in prolonged firefights at range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns'', bringing it up to Gauss-tier damage. It has 1 ammo, and deals 150% damage. Sawed-off Shotguns gain aim for being in close proximity (+10 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-10 aim per tile further than 10, and additional -5 aim per tile further than 10 for being a sidearm). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the sidearm far range penalty.

Country Panic (LWR)

2025-12-26T21:36:52Z

Lorthos:

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Each country has a panic value (represented by five bars, each bar equal to 20 panic). This panic value indicates how unstable each country is. Having high panic makes it easier for the aliens to mount denser abduction missions and makes it more likely for the country to leave the Council at the end of each month.

Some events will increase panic in a country, some will increase panic across a continent, and a few will increase panic worldwide. These effects all stack. For example: if an event caused 1 panic in a country, 1 panic across a continent that contained that country, and 1 panic worldwide; the country would actually gain 3 panic total, other countries in the continent would gain 2 panic total, and the remaining countries in the world would gain 1 panic.

To stop panic from snowballing out of control, panic is reduced at the beginning of each month based on how many countries have defected. The (lame) explanation of this is that the aliens get lax when they've taken over more countries.

==Increasing Country Panic==

All increases in panic are increased by 10% per month passed (and are modified by Campaign Length).

'''Country Defense''' has an ''x''% chance to reduce any increases in panic by half, where ''x'' is half of the country defense.

Your '''Home Country''' reduces any increase in panic by 5% for each country in the XCOM project.

Note that both of the aforementioned reductions in panic truncate the results; so 1 panic will be reduced to 0 if either (or both) effects trigger.

==Country Defection==

At the end of each day, a country may leave the Council if their panic is in the last bar (80 or higher panic with a red color). Note that aliens can run an [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Infiltrate|infiltration mission]] to cause a country to leave immediately regardless of panic.

* '''Defection Chance''': 0.25% for each panic above 79

Any country with 100 panic at the end of the day automatically defects.

If a country has a satellite the chance to defect is reduced by half. If a country does not have a satellite but the continent does, the chance to defect is reduced by a quarter.

Example:
A country with 80 panic and with a satellite will have a 0.125% chance to leave each day for an ~4% chance to leave over a period of 30 days
A country with 90 panic and no satellite will have a 2.75% chance to leave each day for an ~57% chance to leave over a period of 30 days

==Death Perks ==

The Chance to recieve a death perk seems to be calculated as followed:<br>
'''(Number of dead Soldiers in this mission)''' x '''(Number of Ranks of said dead Soldiers)''' '''x3''' if the mission was a failure, '''x1''' otherwise, checked against a random number it has to beat.<br><br>
It is also worth noting that it seems the game will try to roll for every death perk in order, starting with '''Ever Vigilant''' and ending with '''Unhinged''', rerolling the random number every time it does so. <br>
''Note that this is just an interpretation of the code when seen in UE Explorer and may not be accurate of what is actually going on.''<br><br><br>

Action Points(LWR)

2025-11-30T17:41:51Z

Lorthos:

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

==In General==

At the start of every turn, all XCOM and alien units are assigned 2 action points (APs). This is represented on XCOM soldiers as two arrows beneath their health bars. When a soldier has only 1 AP left, they will have only one arrow beneath their health bar.

If a soldier is [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Scamper|scampering]], they will only be able to move and not use other actions. This is represented by one arrow beneath their health bar and it will be colored white.

== Using APs ==

All abilities in the game have the default cost of 2 AP (teal icon). However, units can use abilities that cost 2 AP even if they only have 1 AP left (so the unit's APs get below zero). A unit's turn will end if their APs have reached zero (or less). Thus, a unit can do a half-move (1 AP) and then fire (2 AP), before having their turn ended.

Certain abilities perform an extra check and require the unit to have 2 AP before using them (e.g., [[Weapons_(LWR)#Sniper_Rifles|sniper rifles]] or dashing). Other abilities behave differently if the player has 2 AP left as opposed to 1 AP left (e.g., [[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Fire_Rocket|firing rockets]]).

A full-move (dash) costs 2 AP (yellow move) and a half-move costs 1 AP (blue move). Note that two blue moves don't let you reach as far as one yellow move, but the total cost is the same.

Certain abilities cost only 1 AP (green icon) or 0 AP (purple icon). Just like 2 AP abilities, the 1 AP abilities only end a unit's turn if the unit's APs reach 0.

Armor (LWR)

2025-11-30T16:28:29Z

Lorthos:

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

==In General==

Most technology levels provide access to two different suits of Armor, one tailored towards mobility and defense, and the other tailored towards higher HP and DR.

Armor provides armor HP to soldiers, allowing XCOM soldiers to withstand significant punishment. Certain armors have less equipment slots as compensation for various advantages.

Armor is important to increase the HP of all units, even non-tanks. This is because enemies that can deal damage equal to or greater than a soldier's HP will prioritize targeting them; making it difficult for a tank to occupy enemy attention.

Weapons (LWR)

2025-11-30T16:27:22Z

Lorthos:

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== Weapon Types ==

=== Weapon Tiers ===

==== Conventional/Ballistic ====

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

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

==== Arc ====

There are 3 Arc Weapons: the Arc Rifle, Arc Pistol, and the Stun Rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of each, the Stun Rifle is mandatory to win the game.

The Arc Rifle and Pistol only deal full damage against Mechanical units and have hefty penetration.

==== Beam Lasers ====

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers.
Beam lasers have increased accuracy and higher crit.

<div style="max-width:680px;">
Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +10 aim, +20 crit
Note: Pistol gains more crit but no aim
</div>

==== Gauss ====

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

Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons at the cost of being heavier. The 'Quenchguns' foundry project will grant all Gauss primary weapons a +1 penetration bonus against all units, which helps make Gauss weapons even more effective.

<div style="max-width:240px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +0.6 weight
</div>

==== Pulse Lasers ====

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

<div style="max-width:680px;">
Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +15 aim, +30 crit
Note: Pistol gains more crit but no aim
</div>

==== Plasma ====

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons available to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. They are also impervious to damage or destruction so commanders can feel safe bringing them on late game missions. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons.

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

'''Plasma-Specific Bonuses:'''
*Plasma Rifle: Grants '''Carapace Shredder''' and '''Sublimator'''
*Plasma Battle Rifle: Grants '''Panzer Shredder'''
*Plasma Carbine: Grants '''Aerial Shredder''' and '''Aerial Tracking'''
*Plasma SMG: -0.6 weight, +15 crit
*Plasma Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): Grants '''Ether Shredder''' and '''Sublimator'''
*Plasma Strike Rifle: +2 damage and +20 pen against preoccupied targets
*Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 dmg and +20 pen on reaction shots or shots at targets not protected by cover
*Plasma Novagun (SAW): +12 damage against targets at full HP
*Plasma Dragon (LMG): +3 damage to Suppressive Fire
*Plasma Particle Cannon (MEC): +4 damage against Mechanical
*Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit
*Plasma Vulcan (SHIV): +1.3 mobility
*Plasma Pistol: +2 damage against biologic units
*Plasma Autopistol: +3 crit damage

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

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon
! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage
|-
|Vulcan Cannons
| 250%
|-
|LMGs, Autocannons, and MEC Weapons
| 200%
|-
|Shotguns, SAWs and Sniper Rifles
| 150%
|-
|Battle Rifles and Strike Rifles
| 125%
|-
|Assault Rifles
| 100%
|-
| style="padding: 0 15px;" | Carbines, SMGs, Pistols and Machine Pistols
| 75%
|}

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

===Assault Rifles===
Assault Rifles are the baseline rifle, providing a decent balance of weight, accuracy and firepower. Their base ammo is 4 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 100%. Assault Rifles gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Battle Rifles===
Battle Rifles are heavier versions of Assault Rifles. They trade mobility and ammo capacity for increased damage output. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 125%. Battle Rifles gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Carbines===
Carbines are lighter versions of Assault Rifles focusing more on aim and mobility. They are light-weight and have higher aim but deal reduced damage. Their base ammo is 3 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 75%. Carbines gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===SMGs===
SMGs (Submachine Guns) are light weapons, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They are light-weight and have high crit damage. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by ammo conservation), and their base damage is 75%. SMGs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10).

===Shotguns===
Shotguns have limited range but high damage against non-[[Abilities List (LWR)#Hardened|'''Hardened''']] targets. Their low base crit chances are offset by proximity/flanking bonuses due to [[Other Abilities (LWR)#Pinpoint Accuracy|'''Pinpoint Accuracy''']]. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%. Shotguns gain extra aim for being in close proximity to a target (+10 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-10 aim per tile further than 10).

===SAWs===
SAWs (Squad Automatic Weapons) are exclusive to Gunners. They deal more damage and carry more ammunition than Assault Rifles, but incur a penalty to aim, mobility and crit. They cannot be steadied unless paired with [[Equipment#Weapon Attachment|Alloy Bipod]]. SAWs grant the [[Abilities List (LWR)#Bulletstorm|Bulletstorm]], [[Abilities List (LWR)#Burst|Burst]], and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Shredder|Shredder]] abilities. Their base ammo is 5 and their base damage is 150%. SAWs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===LMGs===
LMGs (Light Machine Guns) are a heavier variant of SAWs. They have greater damage, ammo, and provide [[Abilities List (LWR)#Bulletstorm|Bulletstorm]], [[Abilities List (LWR)#Danger Zone|Danger Zone]], [[Abilities List (LWR)#Burst|Burst]], and [[Abilities List (LWR)#Shredder|Shredder]] abilities; but have even less mobility, aim, crit, and remove a small equipment slot. They cannot be steadied unless paired with [[Equipment#Weapon Attachment|Alloy Bipod]]. Their base ammo is 5 and their base damage is 200%. LMGs gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Strike Rifles===
Strike Rifles are lighter versions of Sniper Rifles, restricted in use to Scouts and Snipers. They support [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]], meaning Snipers can always fire at long ranges and Scouts can with the help of a Marksman Scope. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 125%. Strike rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Sniper Rifles===
Sniper Rifles are only available to Snipers. Regular shots that operate at [[Abilities List (LWR)#Squadsight|Squadsight]] ranges and have lower Squadsight penalties (2 aim per tile instead of 5). Note that reaction shots do not fire at Squadsight ranges. Sniper Rifles require 2 AP to fire, and thus cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%. Sniper rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

===MEC Weapons===
MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to [[MEC Trooper (LWR)|MECs]]. They don't have much crit chance, but deal heavy damage tied with SHIV autocannons. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%. MEC weapons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Autocannons===
Autocannons are only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIVs]]. They deal heavy damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different SHIV configurations. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%. Autocannons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10).

===Vulcan Cannons===
Vulcan Cannons are heavier Autocannons also only available to [[S.H.I.V. (LWR)|SHIVs]]. They deal the heaviest damage, but suffer from long range aim penalties and heavier weight. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 250%. Vulcan Cannons gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10).

===Arc Primary Weapons ===
The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives bonus damage and penetration against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 100/92/80% chances respectively. The Elerium Batteries foundry project improves this further. In addition, failed stuns on aliens at or below 4 HP will [[Other Abilities (LWR)#Maim|Maim]]. The Elerium Batteries foundry project also grants an extra ammo to both weapons. Arc Rifles lose aim for being in close proximity (-20 aim per tile closer than 10).

== Secondary Weapons ==

LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier except Gauss, and a machine pistol for Ballistic, Gauss and Plasma.

'''Units that cannot use secondary weapons''': Privates, Gunners, and SHIVs

'''Units that cannot use sidearms and have unique secondary weapons''': Rocketeers and MECs

All sidearms grant the '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Maim|Maim]]''' ability.

===Pistols===
Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%. Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.

There are no basic Pistol equivalents for the Gauss tier.

===Autopistols===
Autopistols grant increased base damage during critical hits in exchange for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range. Their base ammo is 2 (increased by High Capacity Pistols) and their base damage is 75%. Machine Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.

There are no Autopistol equivalents for either Laser tier.

===Arc Pistol===
The Arc Pistol is similar to its Arc Rifle counterpart, dealing less damage but with the properties of a pistol, making it effective at close ranges instead of long ranges. Arc Pistols gain aim for being in close proximity (+5 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-5 aim per tile further than 10). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the far range penalty.

===Sawed-off Shotgun===
The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides a short-range, high-damage secondary weapon. It is useful for soldiers that need a powerful and accurate close-range weapon to defend themselves in a pinch, but won't fare as well in prolonged firefights at range. It receives a +3 damage upgrade with the Foundry project ''Quenchguns'', bringing it up to Gauss-tier damage. It has 1 ammo, and deals 150% damage. Sawed-off Shotguns gain aim for being in close proximity (+10 aim per tile closer than 10) and lose aim for being in far proximity (-10 aim per tile further than 10, and additional -5 aim per tile further than 10 for being a sidearm). [[Abilities List (LWR)#Ranger|Ranger]] eliminates the sidearm far range penalty.

Lorthos:

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

<div style="float:right"><div style="padding-left: 20px;">
__TOC__
</div></div>

==Accuracy Cap==

Critical hit chance (otherwise known as 'Crit') is capped at the current hit chance. This means that a soldier with 50 crit and a 20% chance to hit will only have a 20% chance to crit due to the Accuracy Cap.

== Air Strikes ==

If you are fighting in a country that has some country defense, they may offer the officer on your squad the ability to call in an '''Air Strike'''.

The formula to calculate the percent chance a country will offer you an Air Strike is:

<div style="max-width: 220px;">
20 + Country Defense / 2
</div>

If they've made the offer, the officer on your squad gets the ability to call in an '''Air Strike'''. This can only occur once per mission.

'''Air Strikes''' will occur at the end of the turn they are called, and will bombard all enemies that are active and visible from above with multiple explosions.

Each enemy has 20 chances to be struck by an explosion. The chance for each explosion to strike is x%, where x is how many opportunities have been calculated. For example, the first chance is 1%, the second is 2%, ..., the last explosion is a 20% chance (about 90% chance in total for at least 1 explosion).

Each explosion deals 3-6 damage + 10% of the target's max hp in a 2-tile radius, with damage falloff like other explosives (50% damage at the periphery). The explosions will land within a 6-tile radius of the targeted enemy, using the same mechanic as rocket scatter (6 tiles being the maximum distance, but most explosions will land in a significantly smaller area of around 3 tiles).

Because of these mechanics, air strikes tend to be best against enemies that are clustered together, as each enemy will likely take damage from multiple explosions.

== Base DR ==

Any unit that has any '''Base Damage Resistance''' (represented in multiples of 20 by grey pips on their HP bar or in the F1 panel as a small number next to '''Total DR''') will have it reduced as their '''armor HP''' declines. Specifically, the percent of base DR removed is equal to the square root of the percent of armor HP lost (for example, with 50% armor HP lost, the base DR is reduced by 25%).

This is not to be confused with '''red fog''' which only kicks in when the unit has lost all '''armor HP''' and has taken at least 1 point of damage to their '''base HP'''.

'''Base DR''' stacks additively with itself (e.g an ability that gives 10 base DR and an armor that gives 20 base DR give the soldier 30 base DR total).
'''Base DR''' stacks additively with other forms of '''Percentage DR''' to calculate '''Total DR'''. '''Total DR''' is represented by a grey shield to the left of their HP bar and in the F1 panel as a large yellow number.

[[File:BaseDRLWR.png]]

== Berserk ==

If multiple XCOM soldiers have died, are bleeding out, or are stabilized, all other non-SHIV members that are idle gain the ability to go '''Berserk'''. Only 1 member of the squad can berserk each turn. A unit going berserk will prevent other beginning of turn effects from occurring such as enrage, fatigued, and exhausted. Berserk will only trigger if the aliens could see an XCOM unit at the beginning of their last turn.

<div style="max-width: 500px;">
Chance to Berserk = '''0.5%''' * '''# of dead''' * '''# of enemies in vision'''
</div>

A berserked unit will enter an '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Enrage|enraged]]''' state, reloads if their ammo isn't full, may move towards the nearest enemy, may fire a shot (at +100 aim), and after done, will still be enraged with 2 APs ready to go.

==Bleeding==

Critical hits have a chance to cause bleeding equal to '''the percent of total HP the unit lost from the attack''' (halved if the target has some armor HP left).

Bleeding units receive damage at the end of each turn equal to:
Stacks_of_Bleed * (1 + 20% of max base HP)

This only occurs if they have performed an action (except for hunker or combat readiness) that turn.

Bleeding can stack, and each bleed stack doubles, triples, etc. the damage.

Bleeding can be removed by any active heal.

Robotic Units are immune to bleed.

==Bleed Out==

XCOM soldiers will sometimes not die when their HP would be reduced below 1. Instead they will become critically wounded and begin to '''Bleed Out''' for 2-4 turns (turns can be increased with a '''Respirator Implant''' or the '''Dual Heart''' gene mod). At the start of each XCOM turn, the timer is reduced, so often a 2 turn bleed out will only give XCOM 1 turn to react.

The chance that a soldier will receive a critical wound and bleed out (instead of just dying) is as follows:
<div style="max-width: 470px;">
'''Bleed Out Chance''' = 10% * (Max_Base_HP - Overkill_Damage)
</div>
Max_Base_HP is the natural max HP the character has without any armor or items. The overkill damage is how much damage the soldier received beyond 0. The '''Bleed Out Chance''' is clamped between 0% and 90%.

A soldier with the '''Dual Heart''' gene mod will always bleed out the first time their health reaches 0 each battle.

While '''Bleeding Out''', a soldier can be stabilized (preventing death) by a unit with a medikit or revived (return to battle with 33% HP and 0 AP) by a medic with both a medikit and the '''Savior''' perk. If a soldier's '''Bleed Out Timer''' expires, the soldier will die.

The '''Bleed Out Timer''' is normally invisible but is visible if the unit bleeding out has a respirator implant.

If the mission ends in a victory, any soldier bleeding out or stabilized will survive.

If the mission is abandoned, only soldiers bleeding out or stabilized in the drop zone will survive.

If the bleeding out soldier has a medikit, another soldier can use it to stabilize or revive them by moving within two tiles and pressing '''J'''.

== Boosting ==

In Long War Rebalance, soldiers have the ability to help other units (including SHIVs and MECs) scale heights by boosting.

To '''boost''' a unit, hunker two units adjacent to it on both sides. The unit must be idle, in cover, and have some remaining AP. Once boosted, that soldier will gain the ability to scamper up any adjacent height a short distance. After the scamper the boosted soldier will regain any AP they already used so they can act with 2 AP.

[[File:BoostLWR.png]]

==Combat Readiness==

When an XCOM unit ends the turn with an action point remaining and is '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Idle|idle]]''' it activates '''Combat Readiness''':
<div style="max-width: 1200px;">
+0.6 mobility, +10 aim, +10 will, +5 penetration to all attacks, +25% '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Graze|graze]]''' chance, and -20% rocket scatter until the end of the unit's next turn
</div>

At the beginning of each mission, all XCOM soldiers start with Combat Readiness. It can activate automatically on XCOM through the [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Heat_of_Battle|'''Heat of Battle''']] mechanic, especially when XCOM is engaging many enemies. You can also press "J" (see [[New_Hotkeys_(LWR)#Functional|'''Hotkeys''']]) to manually activate the ability on a single soldier (activating Combat Readiness also reveals units within 4 tiles and will not reveal the activating unit if they are hidden). It cannot be activated if the unit is not idle (e.g. suppressed). Combat Readiness wears off at the end of the unit's next turn.

Aliens in [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Prepared|'''Prepared''']] enemy pods and enemies that start their turn out of line of sight of XCOM units also have a chance to receive Combat Readiness.

Units that lose their [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Steady_Weapon|'''Steadied Weapon''']] because they can't see any enemies at the beginning or end of their turn will gain the Combat Readiness bonus.

==Concussive Blast==

All explosive damage has the following effects:

<div style="max-width: 750px;">
1) Clears overwatch

2) Chance to '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Disoriented|disorient]]''' equal to the percent of their '''max base HP''' they lost to the explosion
</div>

== Corrosion ==

Acid grenades, acid spit, and certain melee attacks can apply the '''Corrosion''' effect:
<div style="max-width: 1400px;">
Disables passive healing, reduces base DR by 50%, strips 2 + 10% of armor HP at the start of the turn, -20% aim, -20% mobility, and -20% range for AoE attacks; lasts 3 turns
</div>
The easiest way to remove corrosion is through the use of a medikit (biosoldiers only) or an engineer. Certain platings can reduce the length of corrosion to 1 turn (from 3).

== Dash ==

When a unit (alien or XCOM) spends both APs to move at the same time (a 'yellow' move) this is called '''dashing''' and increases movement by 20%. Thus, a unit that dashes will be able to cover 2.4x its mobility in tiles.

As well, when dashing, units will have 30 more defense against reaction fire.

== Defuse ==

This ability is available to all units (including SHIVs). It allows them to '''defuse''' bombs. This ability will '''Hunker''' soldiers as they defuse the bomb. At the beginning of their next turn they will finish '''defusing''' the bomb at the cost of all of their AP.

== Disoriented ==

Non-mechanical units hit by concussion grenades will become '''Disoriented''':

<div style="max-width: 1050px;">
-15 defense, -30 will, -60 aim, -60% mobility/ability range, -60% melee damage, +60% scatter, lasts through 1 enemy turn
</div>

Some grenades and other abilities can also cause '''Disorientation'''.

== End-in-Idle ==

An '''end-in-idle''' action is any action where the unit that performs the action is [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Idle|'''Idle''']] after the action. See [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Idle|'''Idle''']] for more information.

==Enrage==
<div style="float:left; width:900px;">
If multiple soldiers on XCOM's team have died, are bleeding out, or are stabilized, all other non-SHIV members gain the ability to '''Enrage'''. Berserk will only trigger if the aliens could see an XCOM unit at the beginning of their last turn.

<div style="max-width: 500px;">
Chance to Enrage = '''2%''' * '''# of dead''' * '''# of enemies in vision'''
</div>

An enraged soldier:

- Deals +100% weapon damage

- Gains +100% mobility

- Gains +100% throw range

- Can reload for 1 AP

- Is immune to triggering non-suppression reaction fire

- Is immune to panic

- Is immune to countercharge

</div>

<div style="float:left;">[[Image:Enrage.png|350px]]

Enraged soldiers can be identified because their AP pips will have turned red.
</div>
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

== Elevated Position ==

Units at a higher altitude than an enemy receive the following benefits:

<div style="max-width: 600px;">
+5 aim and defense per tile higher (Capped at +30 aim and defense)
</div>

Note: Flying units receive the max (+30) defense bonus regardless of their height relative to an enemy

== Exposed ==

'''Exposed''' units are more vulnerable and shots against them have +50 critical hit chance.

Units not protected by cover are considered '''Exposed'''. This also means that any unit that is '''Exposed''' will not be receiving any benefits from their cover.

Flanking a target or destroying its cover is an effective method of '''Exposing''' a target.

The '''Hardened''' perk prevents a unit from being exposed, regardless of cover.

'''Flying''' units and '''Non-Hardened''' units (while technically exposed) do not have increased critical hit chance against them for being exposed. However, perks or abilities that require exposure will still work against flying units.

== Fatigued and Exhausted ==

Soldiers who enter a mission with fatigue may suffer a loss of APs (Action Points) at the beginning of each of their turns:

{| class="wikitable" cellpadding="15" style="text-align:center;"
|+
|-
! style="padding: 5px; width: 100px;" | Status
! style="width: 100px;" | Effect
! Chance (Modified by Campaign Length)
! Notes
|-
|| Fatigued
|| 1 AP loss
|| 1% per day of fatigue
|| Will not occur if Stimmed or Psi Inspired
|-
|| Exhausted
|| 2 AP loss
|| 0.1% per day of fatigue
|| Will not occur if Stimmed or Psi Inspired
|}

A NSLW game would decrease the chance per day of fatigue for fatigued/exhausted to trigger to 0.5%/0.05%.

A VLW game would increase the chance per day of fatigue for fatigued/exhausted to trigger to 2%/0.2%.

An ELW game would increase the chance per day of fatigue for fatigued/exhausted to trigger to 4%/0.4%.

== Flight ==

Soldiers with the Archangel or Seraph armors and Hover SHIVs have the '''Flight''' ability and a set amount of fuel to power the ability.

Flight consumes 1 fuel per turn while active. Toggling flight on or moving also consumes a fuel.

Units that are flying have their mobility set to 9.3, regardless of what their mobility was on the ground.

<div style="max-width:950px;">
'''Warning''': If the pilot is still hovering at 0 fuel, they will be forced to land (and may land in a bad location).
</div>

== Global Abilities ==

There are a few abilities that do not require line of sight in order to attack enemies, these include: Psychic Storm (Sectoids, Sectoid Commanders, and Ethereals), Mortar Barrage (Mechtoids and Sectopods), Orbital Ray (Drones), and Air Strike (XCOM Commanders).

Aliens will only use a global ability if they have previously seen an XCOM unit or are a Champion unit.

==Grapple==

Units with certain light armors have a grappling hook and gain the '''Grapple''' ability. Using the Grapple costs 0 AP and can propel the soldier up to 15 tiles clearing the soldier from all Overwatch. Each armor with the grapple ability has a single use (except for the [[Armor_(LWR)#Light_Armor|'''Ghost Armor''']] which grants 3 uses).

== Graze ==

Any attack that '''Grazes''' will deal 50% less damage. This occurs before any damage reduction is taken into consideration (it is a ''target modifier'' in the damage calculation process).

Some abilities turn shots into grazes and some any damage into grazes.

== Hack ==

This ability is available to all covert operatives. It allows them to '''Hack''' Exalt data relays. This ability will '''Hunker''' the covert operative as they hack the relay. At the beginning of their next turn they will finish the '''hack''' at the cost of all of their AP.

Once the '''Hack''' begins, all Exalt on the map will have their gunlinks scrambled -- they will be unable to use their primary weapon until they install new gunlinks. After the '''Hack''' the covert operative will also recover sensitive Exalt information from the relay.

== Healing Fatigue ==

Any active heal (medikit, repair, or restorative mist) decreases the effectiveness of any subsequent active heals by 1. This simulates the inability of the nanobots to keep repairing a unit that is more and more damaged.

== Heat of Battle ==

For every enemy in vision at the end of an XCOM soldier's turn, there is a 5% chance to activate '''Heat of Battle''' which automatically grants [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Combat_Readiness|'''Combat Readiness''']].

== Hidden ==

Various abilities can cause a unit to become hidden. They all work slightly differently but all share these similarities:

1) They cannot be targeted by the opposition

2) They clear the unit from all enemy overwatch

Hunter (Jaeger) = Cloak: reveals at end of turn and on non-movement actions

Ghost (Ghost Armor) = Ghosted: reveals at beginning of turn and on any actions or any enemy within 4 tiles

Shadowed (Shadow Device) = Shadowed: reveals at beginning of turn and on any actions

Psi Fade / Cloak Screen (Hidden Movement) = Psi Fade / Cloak Screen: reveals based on various criteria listed here: [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Hidden Movement|'''Hidden Movement''']]

Stealth (Seeker) = Stealth: reveals on non-movement actions, lasts up to 3 turns

If an XCOM unit is '''revealed''' it will trigger any inactivated alien pods that are in sight.

== Hidden Movement ==

Hidden Movement only occurs on '''Impossible''' or higher difficulties.

It occurs when only a single pod is revealed where some members of that pod have one of the following abilities: <div style="max-width:600px"> {{ Psi Fade (LWR) | text=1 }}{{ Cloak Screen (LWR) | text=1}} </div>

As well when all active aliens cannot see any XCOM and there are 4 or more active aliens, at the beginning of the alien turn, aliens may also hide.

If there are less than 4 active aliens all aliens hidden from Psi Fade or Cloak Screen will be revealed at the beginning of their turn.

Aliens with active Psi Fade or Cloak Screen will become revealed again if they:
* Perform a non-movement action
* Start their turn in sight of an XCOM unit
* Have an XCOM unit see them exposed (not protected by cover) within 14 tiles
* Have an XCOM unit see them within 4 tiles
* Take any damage
* Are revealed by a revealing ability/device (e.g. battle scanner)

When hidden, the aliens give audio clues about their location. This helps XCOM find them.

As well, proximity sensors and motion trackers can locate hidden aliens on their radars.

== Holo Targeted ==

Units that have been hit by a primary weapon (not during reaction fire) with '''Holo Rounds''' will become '''Holo Targeted''':

<div style="max-width: 1000px;">
{{ Holo Rounds (LWR) | text=1 }}
</div>

== Home Ground ==

Units that are fighting in their home country gain the '''Home Ground''' bonus:
<div style="max-width: 400px;">
+1.3 mobility, +10 aim and +20 will
</div>

==Hunker Down==

Any biosoldier in cover can '''Hunker Down''':
<div style="max-width: 1450px;">
When protected by cover: +30% cover defense, +15% DR, and immunity to critical hits. Reduces sight radius to 0. Unit cannot become combat ready. Does not trigger reaction fire.
</div>

Hunkered units will have their base HP color turn grey.

== Idle / Preoccupied ==

Certain abilities vary based on whether or not a unit is '''idle'''. Being '''idle''' requires the soldier to be doing nothing that could be occupying their attention. The opposite of '''idle''' is '''preoccupied'''.

Some abilities require an action to be an '''end-in-idle''' action. This simply means that the unit is '''idle''' (not '''preoccupied''') after the action is executed.

The following abilities cause a unit to be '''preoccupied''' (and thus, not '''idle'''):
<div style="max-width:1070px;">
Overwatching, steadying, hunkering, suppressing, being suppressed, being in One For All, panicking, being disoriented, being critically wounded, being maimed, strangling, being strangled, psychic storming, orbital raying, enthralling, hiding, being unprepared
</div>

== Instance of Damage ==

Whenever a unit takes damage from an attack, it receives an instance of damage tick (hits from shotguns count as 3 instances of damage). The instances of damage reset at the end of each turn.

These instances affect the following abilities:

<div style="max-width:1000px;">
[[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Light_.27Em_Up|Light 'em Up]], [[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Damage Control|Damage Control]], [[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Unyielding|Unyielding]]
</div>

And to a lesser extent:

<div style="max-width:1000px;">
[[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Hit and Run|Hit and Run]], [[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Tactical Mobility|Tactical Mobility]], [[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Taunt|Taunt]], [[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Psychic Tether|Psychic Tether]]
</div>

== Low Hit Chances ==

In order to properly reflect a reasonable hit chance, while still keeping hit chance calculations as simple as '''aim''' minus '''defense''' equals the '''hit chance''', hit chances below 20% are tapered by half, and those below 10% are tapered again but by 80%. The result is that a shot that would have a 0% chance to hit (based on aim minus defense) would instead have a 10% chance to hit and you would need a calculated hit chance of -45% to reach an actual hit chance of 1%. Chances that have been tapered by half will be colored orange beside the 'to hit' in the F1 info screen. Chances that have been tapered by 80% will be colored red beside the 'to hit' in the F1 info screen.

The actual formula is:
<div style="max-width:390px;">
if(iToHit < 20)
iToHit += 0.5 * (20 - float(iToHit));
if(iToHit < 10)
iToHit += 0.8 * (10 - float(iToHit));
</div>
Note: All final hit chances are still clamped between 1 and 100.

==Maim==

All pistols have the '''Maim''' ability:
<div style="max-width: 1200px;">
Fire 2 shots at -20 aim that deal 1 damage each where any hits against a biologic target with 1 HP will Maim the target instead of dealing damage
</div>

Stun rifles will also Maim targets at or under 4 HP on a failed stun.

Any target that is '''Maimed''' will:
<div style="max-width: 1000px;">
Skip the next turn and disable reactive abilities (e.g. Close Combat Specialist, Reactive Targeting Sensors, Overwatch)
</div>

== Overload ==

Weapons with the '''Overload''' ability upgrade standard shots to break enemy overwatch and have a chance to '''disorient''' units equal to the percent of total HP they lost. The chance is tripled against SHIVs.

The '''[[Weapons_(LWR)#Arc_Primary_Weapons|Arc Rifle]]''' and '''[[Weapons_(LWR)#Arc_Pistol|Arc Pistol]]''' have the '''Overload''' ability.

== Overwatch ==

Overwatch can only be triggered if the unit has an enemy in sight. Using overwatch will overwatch all units currently in Line of Sight. Overwatching units will fire a '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Reaction_Fire|reaction shot]]''' against any unit that was overwatched and that acts (unless the action is a move of only 1 tile).

<div style="max-width: 1100px;">
Note: The act of going on overwatch triggers a single reaction shot (as opposed to all potential reaction shots).
</div>

Being hit by an explosive ([[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Concussive_Blast|Concussive Blast]]) or certain other abilities will clear a unit's overwatch status.

Any other damage still has a chance to clear a unit's overwatch status equal to:
% Chance to Break OW = 100 x Base HP Lost / Max Base HP

As an example, a unit on overwatch with 20 max base HP and 5 armor HP that took 10 ballistic damage has a 50% chance to have their overwatch broken.

=== Overwatch Indicators ===
The HUD icons for aliens will reveal who is overwatching you. A target icon appears at the top right of their alien head in the bottom right of the screen.

[[File:Overwatchicon.png]]

Aliens will have a red eye icon above their soldier/pawn if they are on overwatch (teal for XCOM).

[[File:Redeyeindicator.png]]

Allies that are in danger of triggering a reaction shot will have a red target icon just to the right of their HP. If they have a cover shield it will overlap the top right of the cover shield.

==Panic==

All panicked units have a 50% chance to recover each turn. If they are going to recover, they will receive a popup saying they are '''Regaining Control'''; otherwise they will remain panicking. A single panic will last a maximum of 2 turns.

There is a 2% chance that any panicked unit will recover immediately.

Specific abilities can directly cause panic (e.g. Intimidate, Psi Panic), but all Human units can also panic from taking HP damage. Exalt only have a 30% chance of triggering a panic roll when one of their panic events trigger.

Exalt Chances to Panic:
*30% chance if they are hit for more than 30% of their remaining health (20 will test)
*30% chance if a squad mate in vision dies (20 will test)
*30% chance if a squad leader in vision dies (40 will test)

XCOM Chances to Panic:
*They are hit for more than 50% of their remaining health and have lost some base HP (30 will test)

== Penetration ==

Units with penetration will do more damage to units with a form of damage resistance. Specifically, after DR is calculated, for every 1 point of penetration the DR is reduced by 1.

Units can gain penetration through various perks, weapons, and equipment.

For more information, see the [[Damage (LWR)#Damage_Calculation|'''Complete Damage Formula''']].

==Pinpoint Accuracy==

Whenever a shot has over 100% hit chance, half of the amount over 100 is added to the critical hit chance and is called '''Pinpoint Accuracy'''. It represents a soldier being so accurate that they are more likely to land a critical hit.

==Point Blank==

If two units are within 1 tile of each other but still protected by cover, they will gain a '''Point Blank''' bonus which will bypass many of the benefits of cover (even though they are technically not flanking).

Units at '''Point Blank''' will:
<div style="max-width: 800px;">
Bypass cover defense, bypass cover DR, and gain an crit bonus as if their target was exposed
</div>

This acts similar to if they were actually flanked. This does not, however, negate any perks or abilities that work when the target is protected by cover (as the target is still protected by cover).

== Reaction Fire ==

Reaction fire is any shot that occurs when it is not that unit's turn (Eg: [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Overwatch|Overwatch]]).

'''Basic''' reaction fire has 2 properties different than normal fire:

<div style="max-width: 600px;">
It bypasses 50% of cover defense and 50% of cover damage resistance*
</div>
<div style="max-width: 150px;">
It cannot crit
</div>
<b>*</b> Note that this also lowers the impenetrable cover DR limit by half

Reaction fire will trigger when a unit acts (uses any ability or moves >1 tile) and '''the firing unit has a hit chance of 30 or higher'''. When the firing unit has a hit chance of less than 30 they will say something along the lines of not being able to target the enemy; aliens will display an exclamation mark (!) above their heads.

Certain actions are quick enough that they won't trigger reaction fire, this includes:
<div style="max-width: 320px;">
Hunker Down, Reload, Steady Weapon
</div>

Suppressive fire (from Suppression) will fire regardless of hit chance or action type.

Targets that trigger reaction fire '''when moving''' will be treated as uncovered.

Reaction fire can be upgraded with:
<div style="max-width: 400px;">
{{ Opportunist (LWR) | text=1 }}
</div>
Reaction fire will occur before the triggering unit has completed its action or movement. Units that take damage from reaction fire will have less stats when they go to complete their action. For example, using a psionic attack will have a lower hit chance if the unit took damage from a reaction shot and lost will due to red fog. However, ''hit chance of shots'', ''target locations'', and ''scatter'' are all calculated before any reaction fire and thus will not be affected by any damage taken before the action (unless, of course, the damage is fatal).

Reaction fire will not occur from or against units that are hidden (cloaked, ghosted, shadowed, stealthed, or hidden).

All reaction fire that damages a target has a chance to '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Stagger|Stagger]]''' the target.

Units that are [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Dash|'''Dashing''']] will gain a defense bonus against the reaction fire.

== Red Fog ==

Damage to a unit's base HP causes '''Red Fog''' which:
<div style="max-width: 950px;">
Reduces mobility, aim, will, melee damage, throw range, and rocket accuracy by half the percent of base HP lost
</div>
The amount of each of the maluses are directly proportional to % base HP lost. Damage to a unit's armor HP has no effect on red fog.

The second wave option '''Just a Flesh Wound''' turns red fog off.

Note that [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Base_DR|'''base DR''']] is reduced by armor HP loss and is not considered an effect of red fog and thus is not affected by abilities that minimize or circumvent red fog.

== Reload ==

Grants full ammo to the '''active''' weapon. Does not trigger reaction fire.

== Scamper ==

Both XCOM and Aliens have the ability to '''Scamper''' when they first see each other.

=== Alien Scamper ===

When an alien pod is revealed all the aliens in the pod will move to more ideal positions (e.g. moving to cover) and will sometimes activate a [[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Deflection_Shield|'''Deflection Shield''']].

When revealed, the alien pod can also be affected by 1 of 3 states: '''Prepared''', '''Off Guard''', and '''Unprepared'''. All 3 of these are supposed to emulate XCOM having less time or more time to act before the enemy does based on the state of the enemy when revealed.

====Prepared====

Aliens enter [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Overwatch|'''Overwatch''']] on activation, gain [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Combat_Readiness|'''Combat Readiness''']], and possibly other benefits.

The chance for [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Prepared|'''Prepared''']] depends on the number of activated aliens and the [[Difficulty_(LWR)#Expectations|'''Difficulty''']]:

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 700px; text-align:center;"
|+
! style="width: 25%;" |
! style="width: 25%; padding: 10px 8px 8px 8px;" | Chance for Prepared<br>[chance with active aliens]
|-
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Easy''' || 0%
|-
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Classic''' || 25% <br>[0% for 1 alien active] <br>[0% for 2 aliens active]
|-
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Brutal''' || 50% <br>[20% for 1 alien active] <br>[0% for 2 aliens active]
|-
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Impossible''' || 100% <br>[40% for 1 alien active] <br>[20% for 2 aliens active]
|-
| style="padding: 5px;" | '''Pain''' || 100% <br>[for 2 or less aliens active]
|}

Prepared aliens will overwatch and gain combat readiness on reveal less if XCOM has less total AP available.

Prepared aliens will not occur on the first turn of any mission.

====Off Guard====
Aliens start with no ammo (or, if they do not use ammo, disorientation)

Aliens in newly activated pods will be caught off guard if they make the total number of active aliens '''9 or more''' (11 for larger missions). Each alien is checked for being Off Guard and contributes to the alien count individually upon being revealed, causing some aliens of a pod to be caught off guard while others might not be.

'''Off Guard''' is intended to simulate the aliens unexpectedly bumping into XCOM.

====Unprepared====
Aliens skip their first turn (removed if damaged) and start with no ammo (or, if they do not use ammo, disorientation)

Aliens in newly activated pods will be unprepared if they make the total number of active aliens '''12 or more''' (14 for larger missions). Each alien is checked for being Unprepared and contributes to the alien count individually upon being revealed, causing some aliens of a pod to be unprepared while others might only be caught off guard.

'''Unprepared''' is supposed to simulate the aliens not only unexpecting to bump into XCOM, but also being not ready for any engagement.

=== XCOM Scamper ===

When an XCOM unit has completed their turn (0 AP remaining) and a new alien pod is revealed, that unit will receive the ability to '''Scamper''': they can complete a 1AP move but cannot perform any actions. This can only occur once per unit each turn and only if the XCOM unit is not active (i.e. not overwatching, steadying a weapon, etc.).

Exceptions where XCOM units will not gain '''Scamper''':
* Non-idle units
* Units that just used Run and Gun
* Units that are the last active soldier remaining
* The unit that activated the aliens (if it was done with a non-movement action)

== Shred ==

Some weapons can '''Shred''' enemies. This means they will take extra damage from all regular sources.

<div style="max-width: 600px;">
{{Shredder (LWR)|text=1}}
</div>

This only occurs if the damage is dealt on the same turn as damage dealer (i.e. does not work with reaction fire and other shots that occur during the enemy's turn).

Additional shred damage is calculated based off of ''damage dealt'', not ''damage taken''; so if a unit resists any damage through DR it ''does not'' affect the amount of shred applied.

Some plasma weapons can shred only specific types of enemies:

*'''Carapace Shredder''' (Plasma Rifle): shreds biological enemies with '''Hardened'''.

*'''Ether Shredder''' (Plasma Reflex Cannon): shreds Sectoids, Sectoid Commanders and Ethereals.

*'''Panzer Shredder''' (Plasma Battle Rifle): shreds grounded robotic enemies only.

*'''Aerial Shredder''' (Plasma Carbine): shreds flying-capable aliens.

Some explosives (AP Grenades, Javelin Rockets) have the '''Explosive Shredder''' perk which allows them to shred enemies at '''2x''' the damage dealt as a percent of the target's max HP.

If a source would apply multiple levels of shred (e.g. a unit with Shredder and Ether Shredder), only the highest level will apply.

There are various perks that modify how shred is applied:

<div style="max-width: 600px;">
{{Alien Shred (LWR)|text=1}}
</div>

<div style="max-width: 600px;">
{{Mayhem (LWR)|text=1}}
</div>

== Smoke (In Smoke) ==

Smoke can be deployed by throwing a smoke grenade. The smoke grenade will fill designated tiles with smoke through 1 enemy turn. Any unit within a tile filled with smoke will receive the '''In Smoke''' effect. It is important to note that the area occupied by smoke is a 3 tile radius cardinally and 2 tile radius diagonally from the center, it is not a sphere and thus the targeting bubble can be misleading on the edges.

Smoke increases defense of units in the smoke by 30 and prevents bonus critical chances against them for being exposed. Smoke reduces the aim of units within the smoke by 10.

Both the aim and defense modifications of smoke apply to psionic abilities by modifying the affected unit's will when a psionic ability is being used. For example, a unit in regular smoke has +30 will for the purposes of defending against psionics and -10 hit chance for the purposes of attacking with psionics.

Smoke also has another important benefit: '''reaction shots will not trigger against units inside smoke'''.
<div style="max-width:1200px">
'''In Smoke''': -10 aim, +30 defense, prevents extra crit from exposed, and does not trigger reaction shots -- aim and defense affects psi as well
</div>
There are 2 upgrades to regular smoke:
<div style="max-width:600px">
{{Combat Drugs (LWR)|text=1}}
{{Dense Smoke (LWR)|text=1}}
</div>

== Stagger ==

All '''reaction fire''' that damages a target has a chance to '''Stagger''' the target equal to the percent of their Max Base HP they lost.

% Chance to Stagger = 100 x Base HP Lost / Max Base HP

Staggered units lose all remaining APs, their shots [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Graze|'''graze''']], and they cannot enter overwatch

Does not effect melee-only units (Chryssalids, Zombies, and Berserkers).

== Steady Weapon ==

Steadying a weapon grants the following:

<div style="max-width: 1000px;">
Double base aim, +15 pen, rocket range +20% and scatter -75%, reaction fire immunity, and halves the impenetrable cover DR limit
</div>
Steady is lost if unit acts, moves, is suppressed, is hit, or changes weapons. Steady is converted into '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Combat_Readiness|Combat Readiness]]''' if unit can't see any enemies at the beginning or end of a turn.

Steady is only available if the unit can see an enemy.

Steadying a weapon '''does not''' trigger enemy reaction fire.

== Stimmed ==

Units that use a Combat Stim on themselves will receive the '''Stimmed''' buff:
<div style="max-width: 1300px;">
+2 regeneration, +2.0 mobility, +20 aim, +20 will, immunity to fatigued/exhausted, +10% DR; lasts through 3 enemy turns
</div>

== Stun ==

The stun rifle can be used to attempt to '''Stun''' autopsied biologic aliens (except for chryssalids). Stunned aliens can be brought home in stored in Alien Containment facilities for interrogations.

The stun rifle will always hit but the chance to stun may be lower than 100%. The chance is higher if the target has less HP.

Targets at or below 4 HP will be [[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Maim|'''Maimed''']] if the stun fails.

== Sublimator ==

Certain plasma weapons have the '''Sublimator''' capability which bypasses all DR from the '''[[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Hardened|Hardened]]''' perk and deals triple damage to [[Abilities_List_(LWR)#Plasma Shield|Plasma Shields]].

== Suppression ==

Targets that are hit with suppression will receive the '''Suppression''' effect:

{{ Suppression (LWR) | text=1 }}

At the start of their team's turn, '''Suppressed''' targets become '''Pinned''' if they are protected by cover, or take '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Suppressive_Fire|Suppressive Fire]]''' damage if they are not protected by cover.

If the target acts while under suppression the suppression will break with another round of '''[[Other_Abilities_(LWR)#Suppressive_Fire|Suppressive Fire]]'''. Certain actions such as steadying, reloading, hunkering down or skipping turn by gaining combat ready will prevent this damage.

'''Pinned''' means the unit will lose 1 AP.

{{ Mayhem (LWR) | text=1 }}

Mayhem adds an additional instantaneous round of Suppressive Fire, meaning its possible to fire a total of 3 Suppressive fire barrages to a single uncovered target with 1 use of suppression.

== Suppressive Fire ==

'''Suppressive Fire''' damage is equal to 25% of ''standard shot damage''.

Even though '''Suppressive Fire''' will sometimes occur during the enemy turn, it is not a standard shot and thus it does not qualify as a reaction shot (so it will not stagger).

Units with the '''Mayhem''' perk can apply additional '''Suppressive Fire''' damage immediately when suppressing.
<div style="max-width:1300px">
{{ Mayhem (LWR) | text=1 }}
</div>
<div style="max-width:1300px">
Units with the '''Danger Zone''' perk will apply '''Suppressive Fire''' to an area (at 50% damage) as well as the primary target (at 100% damage). This area damage occurs during mayhem suppressive fire and at the beginning of a unit's turn if they are suppressed and not in cover. The area damage does not apply to the suppressive fire that occurs when a unit breaks a suppression effect by acting.
{{ Danger Zone (LWR) | text=1 }}
</div>

== Tactical Retreat ==

During most missions, officers you control you can press 'Z' to call Big Sky and ask him to perform a '''Tactical Retreat'''. If available, Big Sky will proceed to your location within 1-2 turns. At that time, everyone not within 8 tiles of the extraction beacon will become MIA.

'''Tactical Retreats''' are an effective method to withdraw critically wounded units and/or pull out after a mission is successful (e.g. after the bomb is defused).

'''Tactical Retreats''' are not available indoors, if a bomb is active, if exalt towers are active, or if a VIP is being rescued. They are also not available on the following missions: DLC missions, newfoundland mission, and base assaults/defenses.

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

Second Wave options can be chosen when you start a new game. They offer simple but powerful alterations to the way the game can play.

== Toggling Second Wave Options Mid-Game ==

If you have enabled the '''[[Dev_Console_(LWR)|Dev Console]]''', you can change second wave options mid-game by opening up the console (`) and typing the console command '''SetmedalpowerA''' followed by the second wave option you want to toggle on or off.
As an example, you could type
''`SetMedalPowerA 3''
to toggle '''Wild West''' on or off.

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

[[File: Soldiers_SHIVS.png|left|160px|]]

The '''Super-Heavy Infantry Vehicle''' is a special unit that brings raw damage, durability, and a degree of utility to the field, thanks to their numerous upgrades and equipment options. All SHIVs can be used as partial cover. The basic SHIV is available to build from the beginning of the campaign. Starting roster will contain 4-3-2-1-0 of them depending on difficulty.
One SHIV will accompany your soldiers on your first mission, assuming you are not playing on Pain difficulty (where you will not even get a 6th soldier to replace it!)

<div style="max-width:950px;">
'''Big Sky (the Skyranger pilot) can control only 1 SHIV each turn.'''
'''This means that if you bring multiple SHIVs on a mission only 1 can act each turn.'''
</div>
<div style="max-width:600px;">
'''SHIVs do not accumulate fatigue.'''
</div>

Like other units, SHIVs must have their weapons replaced individually. All units start with the baseline Autocannon (with an unlimited quantity in stock, much like the other basic ballistic weapons), which can be upgraded for each tier of weapon. New weapons must be manufactured by Engineering, and they can be found in the same section as MEC armaments.

Bringing a SHIV to a mission isn't a waste of experience either, as the 1st SHIV alive at the end of any battle grants its mission experience to its squadmates. As well, any experience from kills the SHIV makes gets shared with the squad.

SHIVs, like most mechanized units, have built-in damage reduction and are ''hardened'', which makes them more durable. Much cheaper than MEC Troopers, and with swappable perks giving them a significant degree of flexibility, these units will prove to be a valuable asset to XCOM.

It is advisable to have at least a small pool of SHIVs in reserve, to fill any gaps when your Barracks list reads nearly entirely "Fatigue", and to help deal with smaller crashed UFOs that you still may want to gather materials from, as their raw damage and durability can potentially serve as a replacement for high-ranking soldiers.

==SHIV Units==

All SHIVs have inherently have high HP and tankiness. There are ways to make them do significant damage. Creative play and builds are encouraged. All SHIVs can be repaired by Engineers. Their repair charges are valuable, but ultimately a limited resource. SHIVs worst enemy is '''Corrosion''' that reduces their tankiness and strips away the armor. Engineer can remove the '''Corrosion'''.

A basic '''SHIV''' is a strong, sturdy and reliable addition to any XCOM squad. Its a bit less tanky than the Alloy SHIV and its main limitation is access to limited item slots.

'''Alloy SHIV''' is sturdier version of the SHIV that offers significant space for customization since it can afford to equip 4 items. SHIVs with less than 8.0 or 7.3 mobility can be considerably less useful so even leaving some item slots unused is sometimes smart move. Lastly, while this SHIV is very resistant to damage, some alien leaders have '''Critical System Targeting''' ability that can do serious damage per hit to them.

'''Hover SHIV''' is technologically most advanced version of the SHIV, capable of flight. It is a little less tanky than their Alloy counterpart, but while in air it gets a significant defense bonus. Aliens usually do not target higher defense units, so this SHIV is not tank primarily and will not draw as much fire. As this SHIV has excellent offensive potential due to height aim bonuses, it is probably best to equip it with offensive items. Remember, flight fuel is limited so strategizing is required. Fuel cells can be upgraded, at which point this SHIV becomes quite formidable offensive weapon.

==SHIV Innate Perks==
Perks that all SHIVs start with. Rams can do significant damage, depending on position it is possible even to kill two units per turn using 1AP blue moves. But it requires approximately straight shiv path to alien to work and do damage so commander should try to strategize to maximize SHIV damage potential. Tanking wise, SHIV is strong tank, but even with hardened it can be chipped down by multiple alien shots so some caution is advised. SHIV tanking resistance drops with lost armor therefore it is advisable to repair it sooner rather than later.

==SHIV Additional Items==
Additonal items that SHIVs can use to complement its builds. Some of the items are shared with mech units making them more convenient to build and utilize.

'''Motion Tracker''' - Never underestimate power of information. One of strongest item to have if properly used, more so if you don't have Scout available on a mission.

'''Scope''' - Generic shooting booster, strong, as SHIVs in general have high damage weapons with low aim.

'''Battle Computer''' - Lategame upgrade to Scope, and an upgrade in general.

'''Laser Sight/AR Targeter/Reaper Ammo''' - SHIV is not very good at critting, but it deals heavy damage making these items at least interesting.

'''Alloy Carbide Plating/Core Plating''' - More armor HP, DR and resistance to ''Corrosion''. Excellent items to equip. Eliminates one of main SHIV weaknesses - acid.

'''Alloy Enhanced Rounds/Enhanced Beam Optics/Plasma Stellerator''' - Good boosters for shooter builds.

'''Elerium Turbos''' - Pretty much mandatory item for ''Alloy SHIVs'' and great one at that. SHIV movement is boost by 2.0 and RAM damage is doubled. Nothing better than overrun fat mutons from full HP to zero. Works best when dashing long distances.

'''Prediction Computer''' - Gives lots of damage to SHIV on reactive shots. Works well with 'Reactive Targeting Sensors configuration. It boosts SHIV defense by +10, which is something you might not want, so take into consideration when using it.

'''Heavy Mags/Armor Piercing Ammo/Flak Ammo''' - Utility items with some niche uses.

UFOs (LWR)

2025-10-28T21:38:52Z

Lorthos:

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]
==In General==

'''UFOs''' come in a variety of different sizes and configuration, and knowing what works well against what UFO can make the difference between victory and defeat. Below is a short general description of the types of UFOs that the player can encounter in the Long war. Unlike Vanilla, Long War UFOs get better over time. Just as the player researches and upgrades their interceptors, the Aliens upgrade their UFOs. This means that new tactics need to be employed during later stages of the game, as late game UFOs can vary wildly from Early game UFO of the same type.

It is also important to note that a new ''UFO Analysis'' Research will become available after raiding a crashed or landed UFO, matching the type of the UFO. Once this Analysis project is completed, your interceptors will have better chances of quickly taking down UFOs of the same type in future. This is essential if you intend to engage the tougher craft more than once! It will also grant significantly increased resource yields from downed and destroyed UFOs.

UFOs that are destroyed in the air will cause the council to give a small credit bounty to XCOM. Fighters and Destroyers will ''always'' be destroyed once their HP reaches zero. Other types of UFO can be manually destroyed while on the ground after crashing down instead of assaulting them via a tactical mission. This incurs no damage/risk to interceptors and xcom personnel, but also grants far less rewards.

== Detecting UFOs ==

Each satellite in a country will detect all UFOs that enter that country.

UFOs above countries without satellite coverage can still be detected by XCOM aircraft positioned in the continent which contains that country. The chance of an aircraft detecting a UFO in a country without a satellite is 7% per aircraft (can be increased to 14% per aircraft with the UFO Tracking foundry project). With a maximum of 10 aircraft per continent this chance maxes out at 70% (or 100% with UFO Tracking).

== UFO Equipment ==

Crashed UFOs will have some their equipment damaged. This is represented by a flat black scar left where the equipment used to be. As well, explosives and other environmental damage can destroy UFO equipment that was not damaged in the crash. Landed UFOs will start the mission with all their UFO equipment intact, but it can still be damaged during the tactical battle.

The chance for each artifact to remain intact is 0-50%:
*Power Cylinder: 0%
*UFO Flight Computer: 50%
*Alien Stasis Tank: 30%
*Alien Surgery: 30%
*Alien Food: 50%
If the UFO is shot down and the final hit was from an EMP Cannon, all chances for artifacts to remain intact are additively increased by 40% (to 40-90%).

Each '''Power Cylinder''' on a UFO contains 4-6 '''UFO Power Sources'''. So you may acquire up to 6 from a Scout and up to 24 from a Battleship. All other UFO equipment is acquired on a 1:1 basis from what you see on the tactical map. '''Damaged Power Cylinders''' will yield 1-2 '''UFO Power Sources'''.

Each '''Power Cylinder''' yields '''37.5 elerium''' and each '''Damaged Power Cylinder''' yields '''7.5 elerium''' (both modified by difficulty and campaign length).

Every UFO will also always have 2 '''Damaged Power Cylinders''' worth of elerium.

[[File:UFOPowerSourceCylinder.png]]

==Small UFOs==
===Scout===
<div style="width:146px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Scout.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Low (1x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Durability''': Low (600 + 100%/lvl)<br>
'''Armor''': Unarmored<br>
'''Speed''': 35<br>
'''Equipment''': 4-6x UFO Power Sources, 2x UFO Flight Computers<br>
'''Missions''': Recon, Research, Harvest<br>
'''Alien Count''': 6-10, +2 aliens per difficulty above Easy, a command pod of 2 outsiders (before May) / 3 outsiders (after April)<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': None<br>

These will likely be the first UFO's that the player will encounter. They will start appearing during the first half of the first month and continue to show up throughout the game. Scouts are unarmored and lightly armed, but fast moving, meaning that the interception window is smaller. Although they give less in terms of alloys and elerium, they offer a great opportunity to train up rookie soldiers and get alien captures. The scouts gain a lot of health each alien level up so they can become quite durable in the later game.

===Fighter===
<div style="width:146px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Fighter.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Low (1x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Firepower Upgrade (Level 6):''' Moderate (2x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Durability''': Low (1100 + 50%/lvl) <br>
'''Armor''': Tier 3<br>
'''Speed''': 40<br>
'''Missions''': Hunt, Bomb<br>
'''Alien Count''': Will never land or be shot down<br>

These UFOs usually start appearing at AL3 and can be recognized by a purple strobe emanating from their blip. They have much less health but are armored. This makes ''Stingray Missiles'' the optimal choice in the early months. A Fighter in high orbit will be targeting your satellites, so aggressively engage it with [[Air Combat (LWR)#Aircraft Weapons|Stingrays]] or [[Air Combat (LWR)#Aircraft Weapons|Phoenix Cannons]] if you can, to destroy it or at least damage it enough to dissuade it from completing its mission (50% damage will prevent a [[Alien_Missions_(LWR)#Hunt|hunt mission]] from succeeding).

Fighters never land. They must be destroyed for alien materials to be salvaged by the military forces of the affected country, resulting in an award to XCOM, too.

Like the scouts, fighters gain a lot of health each alien level up so they can become quite durable in the later game.

==Medium UFOs==
===Raider===
<div style="width:170px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Raider.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Low (1x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Firepower Upgrade (Level 11):''' Moderate (2x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Durability''': Moderate (3200 + 25%/lvl)<br>
'''Armor''': Unarmored<br>
'''Speed''': 35<br>
'''Equipment''': 8-12x UFO Power Sources, 4x UFO Flight Computers<br>
'''Missions''': Recon, Research, Harvest<br>
'''Alien Count''': 6-10, +2 aliens per difficulty above Easy, +1 command pod of 4 outsiders<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': +10%/+1<br>

These UFOs start appearing regularly at AL3. Tougher than the Scout, the Raider serves a similar purpose. With a larger chassis, several interceptors are required to reliably bring one down, though a Raider is slow enough in the air that it will stick around longer. Both [[Air Combat (LWR)#Aircraft Weapons|Avalanche]] and [[Air Combat (LWR)#Aircraft Weapons|Stingray]] Missiles work effectively against this UFO, though Stingrays deal less damage. Raiders are a good way to gather Alloys and Elerium.

Medium UFOs will have onboard aliens that are 1 level higher than the player normally encounters. As well, alien leaders will be 1 level higher than normal, at least. Expect more difficult aliens on these missions. This is reflected in the UFO description in geoscape saying, e.g., 'Raider - Level 1(2)' if the alien level is 1 and the boost to alien soldiers and leaders brings them to level 2. If the [[Alien_Life_Forms_(LWR)#Leaders_and_Leader_Levels|leaders]] are additionally boosted on top of that, a plus sign appears in the description.

===Destroyer===
<div style="width:170px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Destroyer.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Low (1x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Firepower Upgrade (Level 7):''' Moderate (1x Double Plasma)<br>
'''Durability''': Moderate (1800 +50%/lvl) <br>
'''Durability Upgrade (Level 7)''': Moderate (2400 +50%/lvl) <br>
'''Armor''': Tier 4<br>
'''Armor Upgrade (Level 7)''': Tier 5<br>
'''Speed''': 50<br>
'''Missions''': Hunt, Bomb<br>
'''Alien Count''': Will never land or be shot down<br>

Well armored and well armed, this aptly named UFO will annihilate unprepared interceptors. Usually appearing in the mid-game, the Destroyer requires a concerted effort to bring down, and while it's not impossible it is usually not worth the risk early on. As the Destroyer is armored, Stingray Missiles will be more effective than Avalanche Missiles - though higher tier weapons such as the Phoenix Coilgun or EMP Cannon should be used if available. Interceptor Upgrade Projects are useful to ensuring swift and effective takedowns - otherwise a full contingent of unupgraded interceptors may be required, and doing so will most likely mean that there are no interceptors left to defend the continent's airspace for several weeks.

Destroyers never land. They must be destroyed for alien materials to be salvaged by the military forces of the affected country, resulting in an award to XCOM, too.

===Overseer===
<div style="width:170px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Overseer.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' High (1x Double Plasma, 1x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Durability''': Low (3200 +10%/lvl)<br>
'''Armor''': Tier 3<br>
'''Speed''': 75<br>
'''Equipment''': 16-24x UFO Power Sources, 4x UFO Flight Computers<br>
'''Missions''': Infiltrate, Retaliate, Command Overwatch<br>
'''Alien Count''': 28 (7 pods - Ethereal pod, Sectoid Commander pod, Outsider pod, Heavy Floater pod, Muton Elite pod, Sectopod pod, Cyberdisc pod)<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': +10%/+1<br>

The Overseer is offensively very dangerous UFO, even surpassing firepower of upgraded Destroyers. Its weakness is lower durability, matching the ones of Fighter UFOs at Alien Levels this UFO starts to appear.
Firestorms are recommended due to the high damage output of Overseer.

One thing to keep in mind is that additional Overseers can appear, as opposed to it being a one-time plot event.

Overseers never land and cannot be destroyed in air combat (they will always be shot down instead).

==Large UFOs==
===Abductor===
<div style="width:190px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Abductor.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Moderate (1x Double Plasma)<br>
'''Firepower Upgrade (Level 8):''' High (1x Double Plasma, 1x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Durability''': Moderate (5000 + 10%/lvl) <br>
'''Armor''': Tier 8<br>
'''Speed''': 50<br>
'''Equipment''': 8-12x UFO Power Sources, 4x UFO Flight Computers, 6x Alien Stasis Tanks, 2x Alien Surgeries<br>
'''Missions''': Research, Abduction<br>
'''Alien Count''': 6-10, +2 aliens per difficulty above Easy, +1 command pod of 4 outsiders<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': +20%/+2<br>

These UFO's will pop up randomly and fly towards a country. They can be difficult to take down due to their short flight path, high speed, and extremely high armor.

They will not go after satellites or go on [[Alien Missions (LWR)#Bomb|bombing runs]] over cities. Abductors are exclusively used for either Abduction or Research missions, so they will almost always either land or spawn an abduction mission, either way allowing you to thwart its mission with a ground assault.

===Harvester===
<div style="width:190px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Harvester.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Moderate (1x Double Plasma)<br>
'''Durability''': Moderate (5000 + 30%/lvl)<br>
'''Armor''': Unarmored<br>
'''Speed''': 32<br>
'''Equipment''': 8-12x UFO Power Sources, 4x UFO Flight Computers, 6x Alien Stasis Tanks, 3x Alien Surgeries<br>
'''Missions''': Recon, Harvest<br>
'''Alien Count''': 6-10, +2 aliens per difficulty above Easy, +1 command pod of 4 outsiders<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': +20%/+2<br>

These UFOs sometimes pass through airspace with a satellite during the early stages of the war. Like Abductors, going against one early is a very unwise decision as it can decimate interceptors rather quickly and be very difficult to take down. You'll want experienced pilots in well-equipped interceptors to have a good chance of taking them down. These UFO's fly around and gather materials, meaning that sometimes there is a chance to assault one while it is landed. During the early months this can be a suicide mission, but if successful, you gain a lot resources, as well as disrupt alien research, slowing down alien level ups.

===Transport===
<div style="width:190px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Transport.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Moderate (1x Double Plasma)<br>
'''Durability:''' High (13000 +10%/lvl)<br>
'''Armor:''' Tier 6<br>
'''Speed''': 32<br>
'''Equipment''': 16-24x UFO Power Sources, 4x UFO Flight Computers, 8x Alien Stasis Tanks, 2x Alien Surgeries<br>
'''Missions''': Harvest, Infiltrate<br>
'''Alien Count''': 6-10, +2 aliens per difficulty above Easy, +1 command pod of 4 outsiders<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': +20%/+2<br>

This UFO is a tough ship to take down due to strong armor. You're liable to have one land long before you can shoot one down; in fact you may see landed Transports even in the early-mid game. Assaulting Transports early game is very risky, even more so than assaulting Harvesters, but can give your campaign a flying start, both in captured artifacts and denying the aliens resources for their missions.

===Terror Ship===
<div style="width:190px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_TerrorShip.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Moderate (1x Double Plasma)<br>
'''Firepower Upgrade (Level 8):''' High (1x Double Plasma, 1x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Durability:''' High (16000 + 10%/lvl) <br>
'''Armor:''' Tier 5<br>
'''Speed''': 32<br>
'''Equipment''': 16-24x UFO Power Sources, 4x UFO Flight Computers, 10x Alien Food, 8x Alien Stasis Tanks, 2x Alien Surgeries<br>
'''Missions''': Research, Terrorize<br>
'''Alien Count''': 6-10, +2 aliens per difficulty above Easy, +1 command pod of 4 outsiders<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': +20%/+2<br>

You may encounter these in high-panic continents, but won't be able to take them on until late game. If they don't land, they give advance warning on the location of terror missions, since they do a fly around the target country before the bulk of the alien forces are inserted via an [[UFOs (LWR)#Assault Carrier|Assault Carrier]]. Terror Ships that land, on the other hand, are doing [[Alien Missions (LWR)#Research|Research]] missions, and can be assaulted for their valuable rewards.

==Very Large UFOs==
===Battleship===
<div style="width:210px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_Battleship.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' Extremely High (1x Fusion Lance)<br>
'''Durability''': High (22000 +10%/lvl)<br>
'''Armor''': Tier 7<br>
'''Speed''': 30<br>
'''Equipment''': 16-24x UFO Power Sources, 6x UFO Flight Computers, 2x Fusion Cores<br>
'''Missions''': Hunt, Bomb, Infiltrate<br>
'''Alien Count''': 6-10, +2 aliens per difficulty above Easy, +1 command pod of 4 outsiders, +1 monster pod<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': +30%/+3<br>

As the name implies, these massive ships are some of the most dangerous craft an interceptor can go against. They are highly armored and packed to the teeth with weaponry. They sometimes spawn as lead guards for Terror missions, DON'T engage them unless you really know what to do. They will quickly destroy XCOM fleet.

Battleships can be taken down only with several Firestorms and Fusion weapons. Once you've downed one, you can use the [[Alien Artifacts (LWR)#Alien devices|Fusion Cores]] to build [[Air Combat (LWR)#Interceptor Weapons|Fusion Lances]] to make it easier to take down more, but realistically you can win the game more easily than you can build an air force that can routinely take down Battleships.

The aliens on these ships are high level and will have some max level leaders you might not have encountered yet.

===Assault Carrier===
<div style="width:210px; background:#333; border-radius: 6px 12px;">[[Image: UFO-Analysis_AssaultCarrier.png|center|128x64px]]</div>
'''Firepower:''' High (1x Double Plasma, 1x Single Plasma)<br>
'''Firepower Upgrade (Level 11):''' Extremely High (2x Double Plasma)<br>
'''Durability''': High (32000 + 10%/lvl)<br>
'''Armor''': Tier 9<br>
'''Speed''': 30<br>
'''Equipment''': 16-24x UFO Power Sources, 6x UFO Flight Computers, 2x Fusion Cores<br>
'''Missions''': Research, Terrorize, Retaliate<br>
'''Alien Count''': 6-10, +2 aliens per difficulty above Easy, +1 command pod of 4 outsiders<br>
'''Attribute/Leader Level Boost''': +30%/+3<br>

A variant of the Battleship. It has less firepower but much more durability.

Just like the Battleship, the aliens aboard are high level and you should expect to face some max level leaders you might not have encountered yet.
