Long War makes several changes to weapons:

* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma.

* There are several additional types of primary and secondary weapon available in each tier.

* Many weapons can be Steadied as an action to improve aim for the next turn.

* Explosives no longer do fixed damage, and their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast.

* Rocket launchers use a revamped accuracy system using the soldier's aim.

==Weapon Tiers==
===Conventional/Ballistic===
These are the basic weapons you start with - and whilst they're okay to begin with, they're not going to be up to scratch in the long run. The sawed-off shotgun is unique to this tier. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

===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 or as aiming aid for rocketeers in their aiming of explosives (much like you might otherwise issue them regular carbines). They also have a little more firepower than Ballistic weapons, but it still won't be enough in the long run. Although skipping laser weaponry in vanilla is a viable and at times easy-to-pull-off gambit, in long war expense of gauss weapons combined with the tighter economy makes this less appealing, and the aim bonus beam lasers confer makes them arguably better early game than gauss anyway. Beam Lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

===Gauss===
Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry. In general Gauss weapons have a larger clip size, which can make this tier of weapons preferable for soldiers that has ammo-intensive perks or abilities such as flush ,suppression, collateral damage, in the zone, close combat specialist, close encounters, light 'em up, and rapid fire. Uniquely, the sniper rifle of this tier--the Gauss long rifle--grants snipers the HEAT ammo perk, whom otherwise can't obtain said perk normally. This makes Gauss snipers a powerful counter to mechanical leaders/bosses whom can have over 50 health and a staggering amount of damage reduction; though in return, the Gauss long rifle has a rather inconvenient clip size of 1. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM weapon models.

Note: There are plans to give this tier of weaponry additional damage reduction penetration in '''future editions''' of the mod. (b14)

===Pulse Lasers===
Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse laser weapons have a bonus to their critical hit chance, which might make them more preferable to laser weapons in the hands of crit-focused assaults and snipers. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry.
===Plasma===
Plasma tier weapons are the most powerful in terms of raw damage, but also expensive and hard to obtain; building them requires captured alien weapons as production components... which means you'll have to stun and capture aliens for every weapon you want to build.
== Weapon types==
Long War adds many new types of primary and secondary weapon. Most of these weapon types have a corresponding weapon at each technology level. The primary weapon types are, in descending order of average damage: '''SHIV/MEC Primary Weapons''' > '''Light Machine Guns''' and '''Shotguns''' > '''Heavy Rifles''', '''Marksman/Sniper rifles''' and '''Squad Automatic Weapon''' > '''Assault Rifles''' > '''Carbines''' and '''Submachine Guns'''. In general, the more powerful a weapon is the more unwieldy it is as well, and that will reflect in aim and mobility penalties/bonuses. The MEC version of heavy machine guns have a unusually large deviation of +/-4. And finally Shotguns' damage is severely impeded by damage reduction.

=== '''Pistols''' ===
The default sidearm, very similar to vanilla pistols, except that they do not have unlimited ammo. Pistols have shorter effective range than assault rifles unless the soldier possesses the Gunslinger perk.

==='''Machine Pistols'''===
A more damaging sidearm, but at the cost of added weight and decreased aim when drawn. Machine Pistols also tend to have very limited ammo. Useful for a Gunslinger soldier to finish off targets.

==='''SMG'''===
SMGs confer +3 mobility bonus and have the lowest damage and crit chance of all the primary weapons. Unlike Carbines, SMGs do not grant bonus accuracy. They're very useful for classes that need to reposition quickly to bring explosives and other area weapons against enemies, making them a good choice for Rocketeers and Engineers. Scouts, who might use the added mobility usually require something that packs a punch, like a Shotgun or any Rifle.

==='''Carbines'''===
Carbines are light versions of assault rifles. They have reduced damage and crit chance, but confer +1 mobility and an accuracy bonus. They are ideal for inexperienced troops and those that need to move quickly, but experienced troops should switch to other weapons quickly as tougher aliens begin to appear.

==='''Assault Rifles'''===
These are the baseline assault rifles, similar to their vanilla counterparts. They have a respectable balance of firepower and accuracy. 
The Arc Rifle is a special Rifle that grants Disabling Shot with the regular 2-turn cooldown, although it does not confer the snap shot perk. It has low damage and ammo capacity. Useful early on for raiding small UFO's with capable soldiers and plenty of arc thrower uses.

==='''Battle Rifle'''===
Battle Rifles are heavier versions of assault rifles. They do increased damage and have one additional burst relative to assault rifles, but carry a mobility penalty and a hefty aim penalty. They are best used by experienced soldiers who can aim well enough to offset the penalty (Infantry in particular, thanks to their high aim progression and ability to fire multiple times per turn cycle).

==='''Shotgun'''===
Long War shotgun-type weapons are similar to their vanilla counterparts. High damage, high crit chance, short range. Shotguns are extremely accurate up close, but suffer from very poor accuracy over longer ranges (even with Cinematic Mode enabled). As such, they work best with highly mobile classes or those that only ever expect to engage enemies up close, like Assault and Scout soldiers. 

The sawed-off shotgun, a point-blank range, high damage sidearm with -1 mobility. It has only one shot, and this cannot be increased by ammo capacity upgrades.

==='''Sniper Rifle'''===
Sniper Rifles are mostly identical to their vanilla counterparts and can only be used by Snipers. They have very long range (double the range of vanilla, making it functionally infinite), but can only be fired if the user has not taken a costly action, including reloading, unless they have Snap Shot training. Long War sniper rifles have higher penalties when used at short range than vanilla sniper rifles. Sniper rifles can only overwatch fire up to visual range, so consider steadying the weapon instead to end a turn without targets (especially if you don't have snapshot training).

==='''Marksman Rifle'''===
Marksman rifles are smaller versions of sniper rifles that can also only be used by the Sniper and Scout classes. They have longer range than most weapons, but considerably shorter than sniper rifles nonetheless can be fired after moving. Like sniper rifles, marksman rifles have hefty accuracy penalties when used at short range. Marksman rifles have the same base damage as sniper rifles, but considerably lower crit chance. Marksman rifles can fire reaction shots up to their maximum range, and with Precision Shot they have unlimited range. 
Marksman Rifles are better suited to close-quarters maps where mobility is essential.

==='''Squad Automatic Weapon'''===
SAW-type weapons are the closest equivalent to vanilla LMGs in Long War. They can only be used by the Gunner class. SAWs have larger magazines and higher damage than assault rifles but confer a mobility penalty and can't be steadied. They allow faster movement than LMGs, but have less ammo and deal less damage. Suppressing a target with a SAW grants the Opportunist perk for any reaction fire triggered by enemy movement

==='''Light Machine Gun'''===
LMG-type weapons are larger versions of SAWs and are also only usable by the Gunner class. LMGs carry a mobility penalty and can only fire if the user has not moved, but in return they have even larger magazines and even higher damage than SAWs. LMGs also have a slightly longer range than most weapons and confer the Squadsight perk on the user so they can make use of the extra range. When an LMG is used to suppress, the reaction shot taken if the target moves suffers no aim penalty and can crit. LMGs can only overwatch fire up to visual range. 
LMGs are ideal for heavy defensive situations where the Gunner can situate themselves securely and guard a given area using normal and reaction fire.

==='''Rocket Launchers'''===
Sometimes you just have to make a good first-time impression. Sometimes you just happen to not have the right key for a door. Sometimes you just want to give those aliens a running start on their way back - do not fret, Xcom have some portable rocket launchers for you! 

Rockets are fairly simple to use - pick your ability, aim and fire. There is always some guaranteed scatter which is limited by the soldier's Aim and Abilities. While mostly used by Rocketeers, Engineers also have the ability at later stages of the game to carry a rocket launcher. Carrying one forfeits your sidearm. For more information regarding rockets read below.

==='''MEC Primary Weapons'''===
MEC weapons (unsurprisingly) can only be used by MECs. They are high damage and have extended range equal to marksman rifles and LMGs, but do not confer the squadsight perk, so only MEC classes that have squadsight can use the extra range. Even MECs with squadsight can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

==='''MEC Seconday Weapons'''===

With each upgrade of the MEC suit the number secondary weapon slots increases. As such, they can play a vital role in area control, squad support or neutralizing targets. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

Similar to the SAW but considerably more powerful, these heavy and expensive guns are the only weapons that the SHIV can use. While they suffer from the low base aim of all SHIV units, they can shred through enemies at close range, restrict enemy movement options when in overwatch mode thanks to certain equipment, and can deal massive damage to mechanized forces when equipped with HEAT ammo.

== Steadying ==
Many weapons have an extra action available: Steady Weapon. This is a standard action, which will end the turn when used, which grants +20 aim for the next shot. The bonus is discarded if the soldier moves or switches weapon. This essentially allows a soldier to fire a carefully aimed shot over two turns. The use of perks such as '''Light 'Em Up''' and '''Double Tap''' only apply the bonus to the first shot taken. Note that sniper rifles can be steadied after moving, even if the operator cannot fire them. Steady Weapon's Aim bonus also applies to fired rockets, reducing rocket scatter.

== Explosives ==
In Long War explosives no longer do fixed damage to all targets in their radius. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to cover and cover in general is a little tougher than in vanilla.

== Rockets ==
Long War uses a revamped system for rocket accuracy. Aim is used when firing rockets to determine the chance of them landing on target, rather than the fixed 90% chance in vanilla. Rather than the vanilla behavior of a missed rocket veering wildly off course, Long War rockets never "miss" but will veer off course a random amount based on the soldier's Aim, with higher Aim giving less scatter. Lower range means less scatter, and the soldier achieving 120 Aim yields no scatter at any range. Rockets can also be fired after moving, but with increased scatter and reduced range. Rockets can not change height through scatter.

The hit chance shown while aiming is not a literal % hit chance, nor is it the maximum scatter distance. "Scatter" instead indicates the standard deviation on the X and Y axis. You can expect 68% of your rockets to hit within the standard deviation, 95% to hit within 2 times the standard deviation, and 99.7% to hit within 3 times the standard deviation. Rockets can exceed even this degree of deviation, but the chance is negligible.

Unblocked (no "Shot is Blocked" warning) rockets that veer off course will travel through most destructible terrain to their destination, destroying it in the process. If they encounter an allied or enemy pawn, they will detonate immediately.

ToxicFrog: changed Marksman Scope requirement to Alien Weaponry

{{CheckOutdated (Long War)|b14}}
[[File: Soldiers_Equipment_Long_War.png|left|224px|]]
<div style="float:right">__TOC__</div>
In Long War all soldiers have 2 item slots from the start of the game.

* Each carried item has weight, and reduces the soldier's mobility by 1 per weight (a soldier's base mobility figure is displayed with 2 weight carried, so carrying nothing gives +2 on the soldier screen). Items with increased charges from perks such as Packmaster do not have increased weight.
* An item slot can be cleared with the "empty hand" button in the item slot.

Note that many items listed require [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] projects to unlock, and others are replicated by class perks (e.g. Battle Scanner). The special perk-granted versions of these items have a yellow icon in the action bar (as opposed to blue) and in some cases can be used as the first action of a turn ''without'' ending the turn (''e.g.'' a Support may throw a Smoke Grenade and then perform another action).

=== Protective Items===

The aliens shoot more often, hit hard and try to flank you. Sometimes even the best tactician needs some help and help you will get! Here for your convenience is a list of all the protective gear doctor Shen came up with in recent months. Most protective items do not stack with each other so make sure to read the description.

There is nothing new in this category on first glance yet you will probably want to bring at least one Battle Scanner on missions since they not only reveal pods but also cloaked enemies. That makes them a lifesaver against Seeker swarms.

=== Grenades===
Grenades have a special place in Long War after changes made to rockets. They always hit their intended target and now you have at your disposition a lot more utility grenades. Also both explosive and utility grenades benefit from a plethora of different perks and two classes stand-out to make the most use of them - the Medic and the Engineer.

=== Ammunition and damage enhancing equipment===
To combat aliens who have damage resistance, more HP, regeneration/self repair and numbers on their side you will require specialized ammo or harder-hitting weapons. Chances are you are going to need both. Do note that Ammo Piercing rounds stacks with Gauss weapons' damage reduction ability, so in essence you will inflict always a -2 to the enemy's damage reduction.

===Optics and weapon attachments ===
Since aliens (and Exalt agents ) now have increasing stats with research and receive perks, it is harder and harder to land on good shot on them. For that reason a lot of new and exciting items are introduced to make your life easier on the battlefield. Do note that all optics stack with one another, so a combination of Laser Sight + Scope + Neural Gunlink will net you +25 Aim and Critical Chance.

Weapons (Long War)

2014-09-26T19:05:25Z

ToxicFrog: /* Weapons */ Gauss Autopistol crit damage

Long War makes several changes to weapons:
* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma.
* There are several additional types of primary and secondary weapon available in each tier.
* Many weapons can be Steadied as an action to improve aim for the next turn.
* Explosives no longer do fixed damage, and their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast.
* Rocket launchers use a revamped accuracy system using the soldier's aim.
==Weapon tiers==
===Conventional/Ballistic===
These are the basic weapons you start with - and whilst they're okay to begin with, they're not going to be up to scratch in the long run. The sawed-off shotgun is unique to this tier. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

===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 or as aiming aid for rocketeers in their aiming of explosives (much like you might otherwise issue them regular carbines). They also have a little more firepower than Ballistic weapons, but it still won't be enough in the long run. Although skipping laser weaponry in vanilla is a viable and at times easy-to-pull-off gambit, in long war expense of gauss weapons combined with the tighter economy makes this less appealing, and the aim bonus beam lasers confer makes them arguably better early game than gauss anyway. Beam Lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

===Gauss===
Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry. In general Gauss weapons have a larger clip size, which can make this tier of weapons preferable for soldiers that has ammo-intensive perks or abilities such as flush ,suppression, collateral damage, in the zone, close combat specialist, close encounters, light 'em up, and rapid fire. Uniquely, the sniper rifle of this tier--the Gauss long rifle--grants snipers the HEAT ammo perk, whom otherwise can't obtain said perk normally. This makes Gauss snipers a powerful counter to mechanical leaders/bosses whom can have over 50 health and a staggering amount of damage reduction; though in return, the Gauss long rifle has a rather inconvenient clip size of 1. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM weapon models.

Note: There are plans to give this tier of weaponry additional damage reduction penetration in '''future editions''' of the mod. (b14)

===Pulse Lasers===
Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse laser weapons have a bonus to their critical hit chance, which might make them more preferable to laser weapons in the hands of crit-focused assaults and snipers. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry.
===Plasma===
Plasma tier weapons are the most powerful in terms of raw damage, but also expensive and hard to obtain; building them requires captured alien weapons as production components... which means you'll have to stun and capture aliens for every weapon you want to build.
== Weapon types==
Long War adds many new types of primary and secondary weapon. Most of these weapon types have a corresponding weapon at each technology level. The primary weapon types are, in descending order of average damage: '''SHIV/MEC Primary Weapons''' > '''Light Machine Guns''' and '''Shotguns''' > '''Heavy Rifles''', '''Marksman/Sniper rifles''' and '''Squad Automatic Weapon''' > '''Assault Rifles''' > '''Carbines''' and '''Submachine Guns'''. In general, the more powerful a weapon is the more unwieldy it is as well, and that will reflect in aim and mobility penalties/bonuses. The MEC version of heavy machine guns have a unusually large deviation of +/-4. And finally ,Shotguns' damage is severely impeded by damage reduction.

'''Assault Rifles''': Assault Rifle, Laser Rifle, Gauss Rifle, Pulse Rifle, Plasma Rifle 
These are the baseline assault rifles, similar to their vanilla counterparts. They can be steadied to improve aim, and have a respectable balance of firepower and accuracy.

'''Carbines''': Assault Carbine, Laser Carbine, Gauss Carbine, Pulse Carbine, Plasma Carbine 
Carbines are light versions of assault rifles. They have reduced damage and crit chance, but confer +1 mobility and an accuracy bonus. Carbines can be steadied to improve aim. They are ideal for inexperienced troops and those that need to move quickly, but experienced troops should switch to other weapons quickly as tougher aliens begin to appear.

'''SMG''': Submachine Gun, Laser Shatterray, Gauss Stuttergun, Pulse Stengun, Plasma Stormgun 
SMGs confer +3 mobility bonus, but their damage and crit chance are the lowest of the primary weapons. Unlike Carbines, SMGs do not grant bonus accuracy, and they also have the lowest damage of any primary. They're very useful for classes that need to reposition quickly to bring explosives and other area weapons against enemies, making them a good choice for Rocketeers and Engineers.

'''Battle Rifle''': Battle Rifle, Heavy Laser Rifle, Heavy Gauss Rifle, Heavy Pulse Rifle, Heavy Plasma Rifle 
Battle Rifles are heavier versions of assault rifles. They do increased damage, but carry a mobility penalty and a hefty aim penalty. They can be steadied. They can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers. They are best used by experienced soldiers who can aim well enough to offset the penalty.

'''Shotgun''': Shotgun, Scatter Laser, Alloy Cannon, Scatter Blaster, Reflex Cannon 
Long War shotgun-type weapons are similar to their vanilla counterparts. High damage, high crit chance, short range. They can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers. Shotguns are extremely accurate up close, but suffer from very poor accuracy over longer ranges (even with Cinematic Mode enabled). As such, they work best with highly mobile classes or those that only ever expect to engage enemies up close.

'''Sniper Rifle''': Sniper Rifle, Laser Sniper Rifle, Gauss Long Rifle, Pulse Sniper Rifle, Plasma Sniper Rifle 
Sniper Rifles are mostly identical to their vanilla counterparts and can only be used by Snipers. They have very long range (double the range of vanilla, making it functionally infinite), but can only be fired if the user has not moved, unless they have Snap Shot training. Long War sniper rifles have higher penalties when used at short range than vanilla sniper rifles. Sniper rifles can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

'''Marksman Rifle''': Marksman Rifle, Laser Strike Rifle, Alloy Strike Rifle, Blaster Rifle, Reflex Rifle 
Marksman rifles are smaller versions of sniper rifles that can also only be used by the Sniper and Scout classes. They have longer range than most weapons, but considerably shorter than sniper rifles, but can be fired after moving. The squadsight perk is required to use the extra range. Like sniper rifles, marksman rifles have hefty accuracy penalties when used at short range. Marksman rifles have the same base damage as sniper rifles, but considerably lower crit chance. With squadsight, marksman rifles can overwatch fire up to their maximum range, and with Precision Shot they have unlimited range. 
Marksman Rifles are better suited to close-quarters maps where mobility is essential.

'''Squad Automatic Weapon''': SAW, Autolaser, Gauss Autorifle, Pulse Autoblaster, Plasma Novagun 
SAW-type weapons are the closest equivalent to vanilla LMGs in Long War. They can only be used by the Gunner class. SAWs have larger magazines and higher damage than assault rifles but confer a mobility penalty and can't be steadied. They allow faster movement than LMGs, but have less ammo and deal less damage.

'''Light Machine Gun''': LMG, Gatling Laser, Gauss Machine Gun, Gatling Pulser, Plasma Dragon 
LMG-type weapons are larger versions of SAWs and are also only usable by the Gunner class. LMGs carry a mobility penalty and can only fire if the user has not moved, but in return they have even larger magazines and even higher damage than SAWs. LMGs also have a slightly longer range than most weapons and confer the Squadsight perk on the user so they can make use of it. When an LMG is used to suppress, the reaction shot taken if the target moves suffers no aim penalty and can crit. LMGs can only overwatch fire up to visual range. 
LMGs are ideal for heavy defensive situations where the Gunner can situate themselves securely and guard a given area using normal and reaction fire.

'''MEC Primary Weapons''': Chaingun, Laser Lance, Railgun, Pulse Lance, Particle Cannon 
MEC weapons (unsurprisingly) can only be used by MECs. They are high damage and have extended range equal to marksman rifles and LMGs, but do not confer the squadsight perk, so only MEC classes that have squadsight can use the extra range. Even MECs with squadsight can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

'''Arc Rifle''': 
The Arc Rifle is a special Marksman Rifle that inflicts Disabling Shot with every hit althogh it does not confer the snap shot perk. It has low damage and ammo capacity.

'''Pistols''': Pistol, Laser Pistol, Plasma Pistol 
The default sidearm, very similar to vanilla pistols, except that they do not have unlimited ammo. Pistols have shorter effective range than assault rifles unless the soldier possesses the Gunslinger perk.

'''Machine Pistols''': Machine Pistol, Heater, Gauss Autopistol, Blaster, Plasma Mauler 
A more damaging sidearm, but the added weight gives -1 mobility. Like pistols, machine pistols have short range without the Gunslinger perk. They also incur an Aim penalty when drawn (but not when stowed). Machine Pistols also tend to have very limited ammo.

'''Sawed-off Shotgun''': 
A very short range, high damage sidearm with -1 mobility. Can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers. It has only one shot, and this cannot be increased by ammo capacity upgrades.

'''SHIV Turrets''': Autocannon, Superheavy Laser, Sentry Gun, Superheavy Pulser, Superheavy Plasma 
Similar to the Assault Rifles but considerably more powerful, these heavy and expensive guns are the only weapons that the SHIV can use.

== Steadying ==
Many weapons have an extra action available: Steady Weapon. This is a standard action, which will end the turn when used, which grants +20 aim for the next shot. The bonus is discarded if the soldier moves or switches weapon. This essentially allows a soldier to fire a carefully aimed shot over two turns. The use of perks such as '''Light 'Em Up''' and '''Double Tap''' only apply the bonus to the first shot taken. Note that sniper rifles can be steadied after moving, even if the operator cannot fire them. Steady Weapon's Aim bonus also applies to fired rockets, reducing rocket scatter.

== Explosives ==
In Long War explosives no longer do fixed damage to all targets in their radius. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to cover and cover in general is a little tougher than in vanilla.

== Rockets ==
Long War uses a revamped system for rocket accuracy. Aim is used when firing rockets to determine the chance of them landing on target, rather than the fixed 90% chance in vanilla. Rather than the vanilla behavior of a missed rocket veering wildly off course, Long War rockets never "miss" but will veer off course a random amount based on the soldier's Aim, with higher Aim giving less scatter. Lower range means less scatter, and the soldier achieving 120 Aim yields no scatter at any range. Rockets can also be fired after moving, but with increased scatter and reduced range.

The hit chance shown while aiming is not a literal % hit chance. Rather, it's displaying the rocket's maximum scatter in tiles multiplied by 10, so the lower the better.

Weapons (Long War)

2014-09-17T20:10:10Z

ToxicFrog: scatter laser real damage (beta 13 GUI may show wrong values)

Long War makes several changes to weapons:
* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma.
* There are several additional types of primary and secondary weapon available in each tier.
* Many weapons can be Steadied as an action to improve aim for the next turn.
* Explosives no longer do fixed damage, and their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast.
* Rocket launchers use a revamped accuracy system using the soldier's aim.
==Weapon tiers==
===Conventional/Ballistic===
These are the basic weapons you start with - and whilst they're okay to begin with, they're not going to be up to scratch in the long run. The sawed-off shotgun is unique to this tier. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla.

===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 or as aiming aid for rocketeers in their aiming of explosives (much like you might otherwise issue them regular carbines). They also have a little more firepower than Ballistic weapons, but it still won't be enough in the long run. Although skipping laser weaponry in vanilla is a viable and at times easy-to-pull-off gambit, in long war expense of gauss weapons combined with the tighter economy makes this less appealing, and the aim bonus beam lasers confer makes them arguably better early game than gauss anyway. Beam Lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla.

===Gauss===
Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry. In general Gauss weapons have a larger clip size, which can make this tier of weapons preferable for soldiers that has ammo-intensive perks or abilities such as flush ,suppression, collateral damage, in the zone, close combat specialist, close encounters, light 'em up, and rapid fire. Uniquely, the sniper rifle of this tier--the Gauss long rifle--grants snipers the HEAT ammo perk, whom otherwise can't obtain said perk normally. This makes Gauss snipers a powerful counter to mechanical leaders/bosses whom can have over 50 health and a staggering amount of damage reduction; though in return, the Gauss long rifle has a rather inconvenient clip size of 1. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM weapon models.

Note: There are plans to give this tier of weaponry additional damage reduction penetration in '''future editions''' of the mod. (b14)

===Pulse Lasers===
Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse laser weapons have a bonus to their critical hit chance, which might make them more preferable to laser weapons in the hands of crit-focused assaults and snipers. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry.
===Plasma===
Plasma tier weapons are the most powerful in terms of raw damage, but also expensive and hard to obtain; building them requires captured alien weapons as production components... which means you'll have to stun and capture aliens for every weapon you want to build.
== Weapon types==
Long War adds many new types of primary and secondary weapon. Most of these weapon types have a corresponding weapon at each technology level. The primary weapon types are, in descending order of average damage: '''SHIV/MEC Primary Weapons''' > '''Light Machine Guns''' and '''Shotguns''' > '''Heavy Rifles''', '''Marksman/Sniper rifles''' and '''Squad Automatic Weapon''' > '''Assault Rifles''' > '''Carbines''' and '''Submachine Guns'''. In general, the more powerful a weapon is the more unwieldy it is as well, and that will reflect in aim and mobility penalties/bonuses. The MEC version of heavy machine guns have a unusually large deviation of +/-4. And finally ,Shotguns' damage is severely impeded by damage reduction.

'''Assault Rifles''': Assault Rifle, Laser Rifle, Gauss Rifle, Pulse Rifle, Plasma Rifle 
These are the baseline assault rifles, similar to their vanilla counterparts. They can be steadied to improve aim, and have a respectable balance of firepower and accuracy.

'''Carbines''': Assault Carbine, Laser Carbine, Gauss Carbine, Pulse Carbine, Plasma Carbine 
Carbines are light versions of assault rifles. They have reduced damage and crit chance, but confer +1 mobility and an accuracy bonus. Carbines can be steadied to improve aim. They are ideal for inexperienced troops and those that need to move quickly, but experienced troops should switch to other weapons quickly as tougher aliens begin to appear.

'''SMG''': Submachine Gun, Laser Shatterray, Gauss Stuttergun, Pulse Stengun, Plasma Stormgun 
SMGs confer +3 mobility bonus, but their damage and crit chance are the lowest of the primary weapons. Unlike Carbines, SMGs do not grant bonus accuracy, and they also have the lowest damage of any primary. They're very useful for classes that need to reposition quickly to bring explosives and other area weapons against enemies, making them a good choice for Rocketeers and Engineers.

'''Battle Rifle''': Battle Rifle, Heavy Laser Rifle, Heavy Gauss Rifle, Heavy Pulse Rifle, Heavy Plasma Rifle 
Battle Rifles are heavier versions of assault rifles. They do increased damage, but carry a mobility penalty and a hefty aim penalty. They can be steadied. They can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers. They are best used by experienced soldiers who can aim well enough to offset the penalty.

'''Shotgun''': Shotgun, Scatter Laser, Alloy Cannon, Scatter Blaster, Reflex Cannon 
Long War shotgun-type weapons are similar to their vanilla counterparts. High damage, high crit chance, short range. They can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers. Shotguns are extremely accurate up close, but suffer from very poor accuracy over longer ranges (even with Cinematic Mode enabled). As such, they work best with highly mobile classes or those that only ever expect to engage enemies up close.

'''Sniper Rifle''': Sniper Rifle, Laser Sniper Rifle, Gauss Long Rifle, Pulse Sniper Rifle, Plasma Sniper Rifle 
Sniper Rifles are mostly identical to their vanilla counterparts and can only be used by Snipers. They have very long range (double the range of vanilla, making it functionally infinite), but can only be fired if the user has not moved, unless they have Snap Shot training. Long War sniper rifles have higher penalties when used at short range than vanilla sniper rifles. Sniper rifles can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

'''Marksman Rifle''': Marksman Rifle, Laser Strike Rifle, Alloy Strike Rifle, Blaster Rifle, Reflex Rifle 
Marksman rifles are smaller versions of sniper rifles that can also only be used by the Sniper and Scout classes. They have longer range than most weapons, but considerably shorter than sniper rifles, but can be fired after moving. The squadsight perk is required to use the extra range. Like sniper rifles, marksman rifles have hefty accuracy penalties when used at short range. Marksman rifles have the same base damage as sniper rifles, but considerably lower crit chance. With squadsight, marksman rifles can overwatch fire up to their maximum range, and with Precision Shot they have unlimited range. 
Marksman Rifles are better suited to close-quarters maps where mobility is essential.

'''Squad Automatic Weapon''': SAW, Autolaser, Gauss Autorifle, Pulse Autoblaster, Plasma Novagun 
SAW-type weapons are the closest equivalent to vanilla LMGs in Long War. They can only be used by the Gunner class. SAWs have larger magazines and higher damage than assault rifles but confer a mobility penalty and can't be steadied. They allow faster movement than LMGs, but have less ammo and deal less damage.

'''Light Machine Gun''': LMG, Gatling Laser, Gauss Machine Gun, Gatling Pulser, Plasma Dragon 
LMG-type weapons are larger versions of SAWs and are also only usable by the Gunner class. LMGs carry a mobility penalty and can only fire if the user has not moved, but in return they have even larger magazines and even higher damage than SAWs. LMGs also have a slightly longer range than most weapons and confer the Squadsight perk on the user so they can make use of it. When an LMG is used to suppress, the reaction shot taken if the target moves suffers no aim penalty and can crit. LMGs can only overwatch fire up to visual range. 
LMGs are ideal for heavy defensive situations where the Gunner can situate themselves securely and guard a given area using normal and reaction fire.

'''MEC Primary Weapons''': Chaingun, Laser Lance, Railgun, Pulse Lance, Particle Cannon 
MEC weapons (unsurprisingly) can only be used by MECs. They are high damage and have extended range equal to marksman rifles and LMGs, but do not confer the squadsight perk, so only MEC classes that have squadsight can use the extra range. Even MECs with squadsight can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

'''Arc Rifle''': 
The Arc Rifle is a special Marksman Rifle that inflicts Disabling Shot with every hit althogh it does not confer the snap shot perk. It has low damage and ammo capacity.

'''Pistols''': Pistol, Laser Pistol, Plasma Pistol 
The default sidearm, very similar to vanilla pistols, except that they do not have unlimited ammo. Pistols have shorter effective range than assault rifles unless the soldier possesses the Gunslinger perk.

'''Machine Pistols''': Machine Pistol, Heater, Gauss Autopistol, Blaster, Plasma Mauler 
A more damaging sidearm, but the added weight gives -1 mobility. Like pistols, machine pistols have short range without the Gunslinger perk. They also incur an Aim penalty when drawn (but not when stowed). Machine Pistols also tend to have very limited ammo.

'''Sawed-off Shotgun''': 
A very short range, high damage sidearm with -1 mobility. Can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers. It has only one shot, and this cannot be increased by ammo capacity upgrades.

'''SHIV Turrets''': Autocannon, Superheavy Laser, Sentry Gun, Superheavy Pulser, Superheavy Plasma 
Similar to the Assault Rifles but considerably more powerful, these heavy and expensive guns are the only weapons that the SHIV can use.

== Steadying ==
Many weapons have an extra action available: Steady Weapon. This is a standard action, which will end the turn when used, which grants +20 aim for the next shot. The bonus is discarded if the soldier moves or switches weapon. This essentially allows a soldier to fire a carefully aimed shot over two turns. The use of perks such as '''Light 'Em Up''' and '''Double Tap''' only apply the bonus to the first shot taken. Note that sniper rifles can be steadied after moving, even if the operator cannot fire them. Steady Weapon's Aim bonus also applies to fired rockets, reducing rocket scatter.

== Explosives ==
In Long War explosives no longer do fixed damage to all targets in their radius. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to cover and cover in general is a little tougher than in vanilla.

== Rockets ==
Long War uses a revamped system for rocket accuracy. Aim is used when firing rockets to determine the chance of them landing on target, rather than the fixed 90% chance in vanilla. Rather than the vanilla behavior of a missed rocket veering wildly off course, Long War rockets never "miss" but will veer off course a random amount based on the soldier's Aim, with higher Aim giving less scatter. Lower range means less scatter, and the soldier achieving 120 Aim yields no scatter at any range. Rockets can also be fired after moving, but with increased scatter and reduced range.

The hit chance shown while aiming is not a literal % hit chance. Rather, it's displaying the rocket's maximum scatter in tiles multiplied by 10, so the lower the better.

Strategy (Long War)

ToxicFrog:

==Economy==
Long War's economy is very different to vanilla. While launching satellites will increase your income, ''satellite spam is not the answer to all your problems'' like it is in vanilla. Satellite uplinks give only one satellite per uplink plus adjacency and satellites are more expensive, so the cost of increasing your satellite coverage is much higher. The extra income you gain from each satellite is lower, since a country will already fund you 50% in normal (classic=40%, brutal=33%, impossible=25%) without a satellite. Your satellite network must be protected by interceptors, and interceptor maintenance is expensive - in fact it's likely your single biggest expenditure each month. Even with good interceptor coverage, eventually the aliens will get annoyed enough to send battleships after your satellites, so you will need to occasionally replace them. With all of these factors combined, launching more satellites will only marginally increase your income. You can improve this aspect of your income by thinking about efficiency - cover high income countries and cover whole continents to improve the efficiency of your interceptor placement. Prioritising aerospace research will also help, since it will allow you to reliably shoot down UFOs with fewer interceptors and less damage taken, meaning less interceptors needed and less maintenance.

A large amount of your income will come from the sale of alien artifacts. Long War presents you with a ''lot'' of missions, which means a lot of alloys, elerium and corpses to sell - chances are you'll have considerably more of these things than you can sensibly use in the early game. While satellites don't give you so much direct income, the extra UFOs you can assault with more satellite coverage will mean more artifacts to sell, and hence more income indirectly. Do not sell things on the Gray Market until you need the money, because you never know when EXALT is going to hack your funding and steal a portion of your funds.

In fact, with the Foundry projects that increase the amount of Alloys and Elerium you recover from raided UFOs: if you can confidently do so with regularity, particularly with landed Barges, selling the two can be an extra means of income. And with an array of Workshops giving you refunds on them on projects, it is not too difficult to reach a sustainable balance between selling and using, even with the occasional Council request giving additional personnel and credits in exchange.

The amount of Meld that you get from canisters scales with how well the aliens are doing. As such, you may find that Meld becomes hard to come by if you're doing "too well", so selling it or giving it by Request should not be done. On the other hand, if the aliens have you on the back foot, you may find yourself with enough Meld to build plentiful MECs and gene mods to help you get back in the game.

==Panic==
The two main sources of panic in the Long War are Terror Missions, where an excellent mission rating only ''minimizes'' the Panic raise that ''will'' occur, and public UFO sightings in Council Nation airspace.

For satellite coverage, since Uplink and Nexus capacity has been halved, you'll need more to fully cover all Council nations. The ideal satellite facility configuration is now a 2x3 block, with 3 Uplinks and 3 Nexi; this will allow you to cover all 16 countries. While at first you ''will'' lose at least 1 country, and have only 15 countries to cover at start-- though you can liberate the 16th; in fact, liberating at least one country is required for story progression, as any withdrawn nation will spawn an Alien Base within it's borders-- you should build with the 3 and 3 in mind, so that you will not need to rebuild later, if your aim is to rescue all member nations.

Still, coverage as soon as possible is ideal, so you can manage any smaller craft that come into covered airspace, and assault landed UFOs that are too big for your interceptors, or at least harass them in-flight. This (ineffectual) show of force is at least good PR for the Council nations, as doing at least 50% damage to UFOs reduces both Panic, as well as slows the aliens' research progression. Try to keep some satellites in reserve, for when the inevitable Battleship comes for your satellites. Well, if you have the money, that is.

Story progression is nearly identical to Vanilla, except that a satellite must be put over a withdrawn nation (be it that first one, or one later lost to Panic), along with a skeleton key being built. Any further countries lost will also spawn bases for additional assaults (and while difficult, they have been made profitable, to give you a fighting chance to bounce back from severe panic conitions).

==Research==
Due to the fact that aliens can now conduct research themselves, it is recommended to have a general direction towards which to focus your efforts in order not to fall too far behind them and avoid researching projects that may not prove immediately necessary at the present moment.

With the way fatigue and injury are handled in Long War, armor becomes a much more valuable asset to your troops as only hits that manage to successfully penetrate a soldier's armor can grant him a vacation in your sickbay. Skipping Laser Weaponry entirely is not recommended on higher difficulties unless especial care is taken to maximize scientists through Council Requests and Satelite Coverage in addition to having a healthy amount of laboratories, as the both the accuracy bonus and damage are highly desireable in the early stages of the game. Even later on, handing a Rocketeer a Laser Carbine may even be better than having him use advanced weaponry as this improves his ability to hit bullseye with his launcher and results in less scatter.

Furthermore, it is very important to put research effort into your airspace capabilities if you wish to preserve your satellite coverage. When given the choice whether to buy additional Interceptors or upgrade existing ones through foundry projects, weaponry or even temporary boosters, it is almost always recommended to go for the latter. The more UFO's you are able to successfully shoot down with your Interceptors, the more materials and money you will be able to salvage in the long run.

The pace at which the aliens conduct research is dictated both by difficulty level and player action. Soldiers that are MIA (left behind) at the end of a mission will significantly boost alien research and should at all times be avoided unless if by doing so more are likely to meet the same fate. As of Beta 14, this will still be in effect, albeit in a much lesser fashion (1/4 of its original value). If you lose a soldier but win the mission, the aliens don't get research.

They don't gain research for shooting down an interceptor.

They don't gain research for shooting down a satellite.

They do gain a little research for each non-air raid UFO that escapes undamaged.

They have a chance to gain a little research if a UFO escapes lightly damaged.

They gain a good bit of research if a landed UFO on a research mission is not defeated.

Strategy (Long War)

2014-09-07T08:05:24Z

ToxicFrog: /* Economy */

==Economy==
Long War's economy is very different to vanilla. While launching satellites will increase your income, ''satellite spam is not the answer to all your problems'' like it is in vanilla. Satellite uplinks give only one satellite per uplink plus adjacency and satellites are more expensive, so the cost of increasing your satellite coverage is much higher. The extra income you gain from each satellite is lower, since a country will already fund you 25% without a satellite. Your satellite network must be protected by interceptors, and interceptor maintenance is expensive - in fact it's likely your single biggest expenditure each month. Even with good interceptor coverage, eventually the aliens will get annoyed enough to send battleships after your satellites, so you will need to occasionally replace them. With all of these factors combined, launching more satellites will only marginally increase your income. You can improve this aspect of your income by thinking about efficiency - cover high income countries and cover whole continents to improve the efficiency of your interceptor placement. Prioritising aerospace research will also help, since it will allow you to reliably shoot down UFOs with fewer interceptors and less damage taken, meaning less interceptors needed and less maintenance.

A large amount of your income will come from the sale of alien artifacts. Long War presents you with a ''lot'' of missions, which means a lot of alloys, elerium and corpses to sell - chances are you'll have considerably more of these things than you can sensibly use in the early game. While satellites don't give you so much direct income, the extra UFOs you can assault with more satellite coverage will mean more artifacts to sell, and hence more income indirectly. Do not sell things on the Gray Market until you need the money, because you never know when EXALT is going to hack your funding and steal a portion of your funds.

In fact, with the Foundry projects that increase the amount of Alloys and Elerium you recover from raided UFOs: if you can confidently do so with regularity, particularly with landed Barges, selling the two can be an extra means of income. And with an array of Workshops giving you refunds on them on projects, it is not too difficult to reach a sustainable balance between selling and using, even with the occasional Council request giving additional personnel and credits in exchange.

The amount of Meld that you get from canisters scales with how well the aliens are doing. As such, you may find that Meld becomes hard to come by if you're doing "too well", so selling it or giving it by Request should not be done. On the other hand, if the aliens have you on the back foot, you may find yourself with enough Meld to build plentiful MECs and gene mods to help you get back in the game.

While at first you ''will'' lose at least 1 country, and have only 15 countries to cover at start-- though you can liberate the 16th; in fact, liberating at least one country is required for story progression, as any withdrawn nation will spawn an Alien Base within it's borders-- you should build with the 3 and 3 in mind, so that you will not need to rebuild later, if your aim is to rescue all member nations.

Still, coverage as soon as possible is ideal, so you can manage any smaller craft that come into covered airspace, and assault landed UFOs that are too big for your interceptors, or at least harass them in-flight. This (ineffectual) show of force is at least good PR for the Council nations, as doing at least 50% damage to UFOs reduces both Panic, as well as slows the aliens' research progression. Try to keep some satellites in reserve, for when the inevitable Battleship comes for your satellites. Well, if you have the money, that is.

Equipment (Long War)

2014-08-31T17:56:45Z

ToxicFrog: for Smartgun Kit, added short description of Advanced Fire Control perk

In Long War all soldiers have 2 item slots from the start of the game. Each carried item has weight, and reduces the soldier's mobility by 1 per weight (a soldier's base mobility figure is displayed with 2 weight carried, so carrying nothing gives +2 on the soldier screen). An item slot can be cleared with the "empty hand" button in the item slot. Items with increased charges from perks such as Packmaster do not have increased weight.

Note that many items listed require [[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]] projects to unlock, and others are replicated by class perks (e.g. Battle Scanner). The special perk-granted versions of these items have a yellow icon in the action bar (as opposed to blue) and in some cases can be used as the first action of a turn ''without'' ending the turn (''e.g.'' a Support may throw a Smoke Grenade and then perform another action).

HQ Facilities (Long War)

2014-08-29T22:06:32Z

ToxicFrog: added/fixed beta13 base cost/time/upkeep/power for each facilities.

=HQ facilities=
The XCOM Headquarters is made up of numerous facilities that are responsible for managing and supplementing the base's important strategic and research functions. The base building in Long War is mostly the same as vanilla, with pretty much every building doing what you'd expect it to from vanilla. Base facilities can optionally be built quickly by selecting the option when building the facility, which will make it cost considerably more cash and some Meld.

==Static facilities==
Several crucial facilities are automatically available to player and their base locations remain static throughout the game.

===[[Mission Control (Long War)|Mission Control]]===
The focus of XCOM engagement. Features a rotating hologram of Earth (referred to by Bradford as a 'hologlobe'). In this room you can scan for incoming alien contacts through XCOM's satellite network (allowing for the passage of time), and missions can be launched from here.

===[[Situation Room (Long War)|Situation Room]]===
The Situation Room has two primary uses. The first is monitoring the panic levels the individual nations of The Council and launching satellites to help mitigate that panic and provide additional coverage against alien UFOs. The second is managing XCOM's finances and resources; in the Situation Room you can see your monthly expenditures and incomes, visit the Gray Market, and review any Pending Requests from The Council.

===[[Engineering (Long War)|Engineering]]===
This facility, managed by Dr. Shen, allows players to build a wide variety of items that have been researched by the scientists in the labs or designed by the engineers in the Foundry.

===[[Research (Long War)|Research Labs]]===
The research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen, can be found in this location. The laboratory allows players to research upgrades and can be improved to increase research speed. In this room players can also peruse the research archives, detailing previously completed projects.

===[[Barracks (Long War)|Barracks]]===
In the Barracks, players can manage their soldiers, including equipping and customizing the troops, managing their skills and hiring new soldiers. There is also a Memorial Wall dedicated to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Players can also access the Officer Training School and the Psionic Labs through the Barracks.

===[[Hangar (Long War)|Hangar]]===
The Hangar allows players to manage their aircraft, including purchasing new Interceptors, transferring craft between continents, and changing their weapon load-outs.

==Additional facilities==
Dozens of additional facilities can be purchased and built into player bases, bestowing certain benefits. These locations are housed in the base underneath the existing static locations. Most cave locations will require excavation before new facilities can be built in them.

Most of these facilities grant an adjacency bonus, giving nearby rooms of the same type particular benefits, such as rebates on building materials or increased power from power generators. Rooms in the same category give these bonuses, so placing a Satellite Nexus next to a Satellite Uplink will grant a bonus. It's also worth noting that these bonuses go both left and right and up and down, so the most efficient placement for four facilities that can grant bonuses with each other would be putting them into a square shape.

Each of these additional facilities require maintenance, which costs a fixed amount each month. The maintenance cost can be reduced by employing additional engineers. With limited resources, players will be unable to build all available facilities simultaneously.

HQ Facilities (Long War)

2014-08-14T14:38:18Z

ToxicFrog: /* Satellite Uplink */

=HQ facilities=
The XCOM Headquarters is made up of numerous facilities that are responsible for managing and supplementing the base's important strategic and research functions. The base building in Long War is mostly the same as vanilla, with pretty much every building doing what you'd expect it to from vanilla. Base facilities can optionally be built quickly by selecting the option when building the facility, which will make it cost considerably more cash and some Meld.

==Static facilities==
Several crucial facilities are automatically available to player and their base locations remain static throughout the game.

===[[Mission Control (Long War)|Mission Control]]===
The focus of XCOM engagement. Features a rotating hologram of Earth (referred to by Bradford as a 'hologlobe'). In this room you can scan for incoming alien contacts through XCOM's satellite network (allowing for the passage of time), and missions can be launched from here.

===[[Situation Room (Long War)|Situation Room]]===
The Situation Room has two primary uses. The first is monitoring the panic levels the individual nations of The Council and launching satellites to help mitigate that panic and provide additional coverage against alien UFOs. The second is managing XCOM's finances and resources; in the Situation Room you can see your monthly expenditures and incomes, visit the Gray Market, and review any Pending Requests from The Council.

===[[Engineering (Long War)|Engineering]]===
This facility, managed by Dr. Shen, allows players to build a wide variety of items that have been researched by the scientists in the labs or designed by the engineers in the Foundry.

===[[Research (Long War)|Research Labs]]===
The research team, headed by Dr. Vahlen, can be found in this location. The laboratory allows players to research upgrades and can be improved to increase research speed. In this room players can also peruse the research archives, detailing previously completed projects.

===[[Barracks (Long War)|Barracks]]===
In the Barracks, players can manage their soldiers, including equipping and customizing the troops, managing their skills and hiring new soldiers. There is also a Memorial Wall dedicated to those who have lost their lives in the line of duty. Players can also access the Officer Training School and the Psionic Labs through the Barracks.

===[[Hangar (Long War)|Hangar]]===
The Hangar allows players to manage their aircraft, including purchasing new Interceptors, transferring craft between continents, and changing their weapon load-outs.

==Additional facilities==
Dozens of additional facilities can be purchased and built into player bases, bestowing certain benefits. These locations are housed in the base underneath the existing static locations. Most cave locations will require excavation before new facilities can be built in them.

Most of these facilities grant an adjacency bonus, giving nearby rooms of the same type particular benefits, such as rebates on building materials or increased power from power generators. Rooms in the same category give these bonuses, so placing a Satellite Nexus next to a Satellite Uplink will grant a bonus. It's also worth noting that these bonuses go both left and right and up and down, so the most efficient placement for four facilities that can grant bonuses with each other would be putting them into a square shape.

Each of these additional facilities require maintenance, which costs a fixed amount each month. The maintenance cost can be reduced by employing additional engineers. With limited resources, players will be unable to build all available facilities simultaneously.

===[[Access Lift (Long War)|Access Lift]]===
Access Lifts are required to reach the lower levels of your base.

The base cost and time to construct is §60 and 5 days. It requires 2 power and costs §10 to maintain each month.

===[[Alien Containment (Long War)|Alien Containment]]===
Houses aliens for interrogation. Requires Xenobiology to construct.

The base cost and time to construct is §120, 10x alloys, and 6 days. It costs 10 power and §30 to maintain each month.

===[[Cybernetics Lab (Long War)|Cybernetics Lab]]===
Allows the conversion of soldiers to [[MEC Trooper (Long War)|MEC Troopers]].

===[[Fission Generator (Long War)|Fission Generator]]===
The Fission Generator provides +6 power to your facility. Fission Generators also provide an adjacency bonus of +3 power per adjacent Fission/Elerium/Thermo generator.

The base cost and time to construct is §72 and 6 days. It costs §25 to maintain each month.

===[[Elerium Generator (Long War)|Elerium Generator]]===

===[[Thermo Generator (Long War)|Thermo Generator]]===
The Thermo Generator provides +25 power to your base but must be built on a steam vent. Thermo Generators also provide an adjacency bonus of +3 power per adjacent Fission/Elerium/Thermo generator.

The base cost and time to construct is §350 and 21 days. It requires §35 to maintain each month.

===[[Foundry (Long War)|Foundry]]===
Allows research of foundry projects.

===[[Genetics Lab (Long War)|Genetics Lab]]===
Allows [[Gene Mods (Long War)|genetic modification]] of soldiers.

===[[Hyperwave Relay (Long War)|Hyperwave Relay]]===

===[[Laboratory (Long War)|Laboratory]]===
Speeds up research. §200, 21 days build, §300 x10Meld 11 day fast build, §30/mo upkeep.

===[[Officer Training School (Long War)|Officer Training School]]===
Allows you to upgrade different aspects of your squad. This building becomes available to build after a squad member reaches the rank of Corporal.

The base cost and time to construct is §120 and 5 days. It requires 1 power and §25 to maintain each month.

===[[Psionics Labs (Long War)|Psionic Labs]]===
Allow soldiers to train [[Psionic (Long War)|psionic]] abilities.

===[[Satellite Nexus (Long War)|Satellite Nexus]]===
A Satellite Nexus is a direct upgrade to the Satellite Uplink, providing communication to 2 satellites with similar adjacency bonus of one additional satellite per adjacency. Sharing the engineers requirement of the Satellite Uplink, the base cost is §300, 8x Elerium, 25x Alien Alloys and 2 UFO Flight Computers. It requires 8 power.

===[[Satellite Uplink (Long War)|Satellite Uplink]]===
A Satellite Uplink provides communication to 1 satellite. The Satellite Uplink also provides an adjacency bonus of one additional satellite per adjacency when connecting to another Satellite Uplink or Satellite Nexus.

To build a Satellite Uplink, one must have 5/10/20/30/40/?? engineers on staff. The base cost and time to construct is §200 for 21 days (or §300 + 10 meld for 11 days). It requires 5 power and costs §20 to maintain each month.

===[[Workshop (Long War)|Workshop]]===

A Workshop gives the player a direct 10% cash discount on items from the Engineering department, as well as a 10% refund of materials used.

The Workshop costs §200 and 4 power, as well as requiring 10/? engineers.

Weapons (Long War)

2014-07-27T21:26:11Z

ToxicFrog: beta 12 damages & crits for Gatling Laser

Long War makes several changes to weapons:
* There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma.
* There are several additional types of primary and secondary weapon available in each tier.
* Many weapons can be Steadied as an action to improve aim for the next turn.
* Explosives no longer do fixed damage, and their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast.
* Rocket launchers use a revamped accuracy system using the soldier's aim.

== Weapon types==
Long War adds many new types of primary and secondary weapon. Most of these weapon types have a corresponding weapon at each technology level.

'''Assault Rifles''': Assault Rifle, Laser Rifle, Gauss Rifle, Pulse Rifle, Plasma Rifle 
These are the baseline assault rifles, similar to their vanilla counterparts. They can be steadied to improve aim.

'''Carbines''': Assault Carbine, Laser Carbine, Gauss Carbine, Pulse Carbine, Plasma Carbine 
Carbines are light versions of assault rifles. They have reduced damage and crit chance, but confer +1 mobility and an accuracy bonus. Carbines can be steadied to improve aim.

'''SMG''': Submachine Gun, Laser Shatterray, Gauss Stuttergun, Pulse Stengun, Plasma Stormgun 
SMGs confer +3 mobility bonus, but their damage and crit chance are the lowest of the primary weapons.

'''Battle Rifle''': Battle Rifle, Heavy Laser Rifle, Heavy Gauss Rifle, Heavy Pulse Rifle, Heavy Plasma Rifle 
Battle Rifles are heavier versions of assault rifles. They do increased damage, but carry a mobility penalty and a hefty aim penalty. They can be steadied. They can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers.

'''Shotgun''': Shotgun, Scatter Laser, Alloy Cannon, Scatter Blaster, Reflex Cannon 
Long War shotgun-type weapons are similar to their vanilla counterparts. High damage, high crit chance, short range. They can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers.

'''Sniper Rifle''': Sniper Rifle, Laser Sniper Rifle, Gauss Long Rifle, Pulse Sniper Rifle, Plasma Sniper Rifle 
Sniper Rifles are mostly identical to their vanilla counterparts and can only be used by Snipers. They have very long range (double the range of vanilla, making it functionally infinite), but can only be fired if the user has not moved, unless they have Snap Shot training. Long War sniper rifles have higher penalties when used at short range than vanilla sniper rifles. Sniper rifles can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

'''Marksman Rifle''': Marksman Rifle, Laser Strike Rifle, Alloy Strike Rifle, Blaster Rifle, Reflex Rifle 
Marksman rifles are smaller versions of sniper rifles that can also only be used by the Sniper and Scout classes. They have longer range than most weapons, but considerably shorter than sniper rifles, but can be fired after moving. The squadsight perk is required to use the extra range. Like sniper rifles, marksman rifles have hefty accuracy penalties when used at short range. Marksman rifles have the same base damage as sniper rifles, but considerably lower crit chance. With squadsight, marksman rifles can overwatch fire up to their maximum range.

'''Squad Automatic Weapon''': SAW, Autolaser, Gauss Autorifle, Pulse Autoblaster, Plasma Novagun 
SAW-type weapons are the closest equivalent to vanilla LMGs in Long War. They can only be used by the Gunner class. SAWs have larger magazines and higher damage than assault rifles but confer a mobility penalty and can't be steadied.

'''Light Machine Gun''': LMG, Gatling Laser, Gauss Machine Gun, Gatling Pulser, Plasma Dragon 
LMG-type weapons are larger versions of SAWs and are also only usable by the Gunner class. LMGs carry a mobility penalty and can only fire if the user has not moved, but in return they have even larger magazines and even higher damage than SAWs. LMGs also have longer range than most weapons and confer the Squadsight perk on the user so they can make use of it. When an LMG is used to suppress, the reaction shot taken if the target moves suffers no aim penalty and can crit. LMGs can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

'''MEC Primary Weapons''': Chaingun, Laser Lance, Railgun, Pulse Lance, Particle Cannon 
MEC weapons (unsurprisingly) can only be used by MECs. They are high damage and have extended range equal to marksman rifles and LMGs, but do not confer the squadsight perk, so only MEC classes that have squadsight can use the extra range. Even MECs with squadsight can only overwatch fire up to visual range.

'''Arc Rifle''': 
The Arc Rifle is a special Marksman Rifle that inflicts Disabling Shot with every hit. It has low damage and ammo capacity.

'''Pistols''': Pistol, Laser Pistol, Plasma Pistol 
The default sidearm, very similar to vanilla pistols, except that they do not have unlimited ammo. Pistols have shorter effective range than assault rifles unless the soldier is a Gunslinger.

'''Machine Pistols''': Machine Pistol, Heater, Gauss Autopistol, Blaster, Plasma Mauler 
A more damaging sidearm, but the extra encumbrance gives -1 mobility. Like pistols, machine pistols have short range without the Gunslinger perk.

'''Sawed-off Shotgun''': 
A very short range, high damage sidearm with -1 mobility. Can be used by Infantry, Assaults, Scouts, Medics and Engineers.

'''SHIV Turrets''': Autocannon, Superheavy Laser, Sentry Gun, Superheavy Pulser, Superheavy Plasma 
Similar to the Assault Rifles but considerably more powerful, these heavy and expensive guns are the only weapons that the SHIV can use.

== Steadying ==
Many weapons have an extra action available: Steady Weapon. This is a standard action, which will end the turn when used, which grants +20 aim for the next shot. The bonus is discarded if the soldier moves or switches weapon. This essentially allows a soldier to fire a carefully aimed shot over two turns. The use of perks such as '''Light 'Em Up''' and '''Double Tap''' only apply the bonus to the first shot taken. Note that sniper rifles can be steadied after moving, even if the operator cannot fire them. Steady Weapon's Aim bonus also applies to fired rockets, reducing rocket scatter.

== Explosives ==
In Long War explosives no longer do fixed damage to all targets in their radius. The further a target is from the center of the blast, the less damage it will take. This also applies to cover and cover in general is a little tougher than in vanilla.

== Rockets ==
Long War uses a revamped system for rocket accuracy. Aim is used when firing rockets to determine the chance of them landing on target, rather than the fixed 90% chance in vanilla. Rather than the vanilla behavior of a missed rocket veering wildly off course, Long War rockets never "miss" but will veer off course a random amount based on the soldier's Aim, with higher Aim giving less scatter. Lower range means less scatter, and the soldier achieving 120 Aim yields no scatter at any range. Rockets can also be fired after moving, but with increased scatter and reduced range.

The hit chance shown while aiming is not a literal % hit chance. Rather, it's displaying the rocket's maximum scatter in tiles multiplied by 10, so the lower the better.
