'''Role''': Mid/Long range Offensive Support.

An offensive support class, whose value depends on the players playstyle. The Rocketeer's speciality is the Rocket Launcher that they carry with them.

Even though they are less reliable than grenades, the Rocket Launcher's primary uses are still the same as in vanilla: clearing tightly packed groups or soft cover, while letting the rest of the squad clean up any stragglers.

A key strength of the Rocketeer is the '''Javelin Rockets''' they have access to, which have greatly reduced radius, but high damage and minimal scatter. Javelin Rockets also apply Shredded to affected targets, thereby increasing damage dealt by the entire squad.

With perks like ''Double Tap'', and ''Ranger'', the Rocketeer can hold their own during firefights if built as a rifleman, though less so than Infantry or Gunners.

Unlike vanilla, Rocketeers no longer rely on their Aim to determine how precisely they can aim their rockets. It can be valuable to end a Rocketeer's turn with ''steady weapon'' rather than overwatch. The Alloy Bipod can reduce scatter further due to its ''Platform Stability'' perk.

Due to the way that rockets behave in Long War, it is very dangerous to shoot rockets while friendly forces are near the target area, as the rockets can easily veer off course and hit friendly soldiers, meaning that danger close rocket support is next to impossible.

Rocketeers excel at removing groups of flying enemies; a Rocketeer with the ''HEAT Warheads'' perk can not only eliminate the support drones surrounding a Cyberdisc, but also inflict significant damage. Rocketeers can enable aggressive styles of play where rockets are used to remove cover, while others push against the enemy position.

==Sample Builds==

===Rocketeer Rifleman===

This build builds on improving the effectivness of the Rocket Launcher while still allowing the Rocketeer to be somewhat effective at general combat with an Assault Rifle. Double Tap helps keep the Rocketeer relevant in combat when not firing or preparing to fire their rocket launcher. HEAT warheads, Danger Zone and Mayhem improve the strength and power of the Rocket Launcher, with HEAT warheads helping guarantee the destruction of Drones and other Mechanical units. Extra Conditioning provides a small late game boost to the Rocketeers surviviabilty, Lock N' Load can be just as strong as an alternative to EC as it can give a bonus when firing their rifle.

Sample Rocketeer Rifleman Build:
''Double Tap-> HEAT Warheads -> Danger Zone -> Shock and Awe -> Mayhem -> Extra Conditioning.''

{{Ability List Display
|level1={{Double Tap (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level2={{HEAT Warheads (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level3={{Danger Zone (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level4={{Shock And Awe (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level5={{Mayhem (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level6={{Extra Conditioning (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
}}

Notes: Fragmentation can replace Double Tap, this will improve the damage output of rockets but make the Rocketeer less effective in a firefight without rockets. Tandem Warheads can replace HEAT Warheads, while Rockets will lose their lethality against hardened mechanical units, they will gain greater consistency of damage against targets, even at the edge of an explosion.

Recommended Equipment: Javelin Rockets, Alien Trophy, Alloy Bipod, Assault Rifle.

===Support Rocketeer===

This build forsakes significantly improving the effectiveness of the Rocket Launcher early on to improve the support capabilities of the Rocketeer, focusing on allowing the Rocketeer to provide effective tactical support via smoke or concussion grenades while providing another source of healing, in addition to providing rocket support. This sets the class to become a form of secondary Medic.

Smoke and Mirrors allows the Rockteer to carry additional support grenades, this can allow the rocketeer to throw a support grenade before then firing a rocket on the same turn. Packmaster further improves the availability of support items by granting an additional support item slot. First Aid can allow a Rocketeer to carry up to three medkits into an operation, or at least guarantee they carry one at all times, this can become more valuable when the Tactical Rigging foundry project is researched, granting the Rocketeer an additional item slot. Mayhem and Extra Conditioning improve the effectiveness of the Rocket Launcher, and improve survivability, respectively.

Sample Support Rocketeer Build:
''Smoke and Mirrors -> HEAT Warheads -> First Aid -> Shock and Awe -> Mayhem -> Extra Conditioning.''

{{Ability List Display
|level1={{Smoke And Mirrors (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level2={{Packmaster (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level3={{First Aid (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}

|level5={{Mayhem (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level6={{Extra Conditioning (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
}}

Notes: Packmaster can be swapped with HEAT Warheads, while Packmaster provides good support bonuses, HEAT Warheads significantly improve the Rocket Launchers anti-mech effectiveness.

Recommended Equipment: Smoke Grenades, Concussion Grenades, Javelin Rockets, Medkit.

===Pure Rocketeer===

This build is pretty straightforward: it aims at getting the most out of the rocketeers signature perk - firing rockets - at the cost of forgoing investment in the rocketeer's capacity for support or shooting.

Despite its low trigger chance, Fragmentation allows for the occasional clutch rocket, especially if targeted at lumped up alien pods. HEAT Warheads are chosen over Tandem Warheads due to the high probability of encountering mechanicals on any given mission except for EXALT missions. Danger Zone increases the rocket's area of effect, which often allows to hit more aliens per shot and can soften the negative effect of bad aim: even the most awkward painter hits the intended spot if the brush is just big enough. It also makes up for the damage fall-off at the rocket radius' periphery by increasing the radius. Mayhem increases the rocket damage. At the Master Sergeant Level, Extra Conditioning makes the rocketeer more sturdy. Since this build focuses solely on improving rockets, the Pure Rocketeer equips lighter primary weapons to gain higher mobility.

Sample Pure Rocketeer Build:
''Fragmentation -> HEAT Warheads -> Danger Zone -> Shock and Awe -> Mayhem -> Extra Conditioning.''

|level5={{Mayhem (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level6={{Extra Conditioning (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
}}

Notes: Fragmentation can replace Double Tap, this will improve the damage output of rockets but make the Rocketeer less effective in a firefight without rockets. Tandem Warheads can replace HEAT Warheads, while Rockets will lose their lethality against hardened mechanical units, they will gain greater consistency of damage against targets, even at the edge of an explosion.

Recommended Equipment: Javelin Rockets, Alien Trophy, Alloy Bipod, Assault Rifle.

===Support Rocketeer===

This build forsakes significantly improving the effectiveness of the Rocket Launcher early on to improve the support capabilities of the Rocketeer, focusing on allowing the Rocketeer to provide effective tactical support via smoke or concussion grenades while providing another source of healing, in addition to providing rocket support. This sets the class to become a form of secondary Medic.

Smoke and Mirrors allows the Rockteer to carry additional support grenades, this can allow the rocketeer to throw a support grenade before then firing a rocket on the same turn. Packmaster further improves the availability of support items by granting an additional support item slot. First Aid can allow a Rocketeer to carry up to three medkits into an operation, or at least guarantee they carry one at all times, this can become more valuable when the Tactical Rigging foundry project is researched, granting the Rocketeer an additional item slot. Mayhem and Extra Conditioning improve the effectiveness of the Rocket Launcher, and improve survivability, respectively.

Sample Support Rocketeer Build:
''Smoke and Mirrors -> HEAT Warheads -> First Aid -> Shock and Awe -> Mayhem -> Extra Conditioning.''

|level5={{Mayhem (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
|level6={{Extra Conditioning (LWR)|align=center|topbotpad=7}}
}}

Notes: Packmaster can be swapped with HEAT Warheads, while Packmaster provides good support bonuses, HEAT Warheads significantly improve the Rocket Launchers anti-mech effectiveness.

Recommended Equipment: Smoke Grenades, Concussion Grenades, Javelin Rockets, Medkit.

===Pure Rocketeer===

This build is pretty straightforward: it aims at getting the most out of the rocketeers signature perk - firing rockets - by forgoing investment in the rocketeer's capacity for support or shooting.

Despite its low trigger chance, Fragmentation allows for the occasional clutch rocket, especially if targeted at lumped up alien pods. HEAT Warheads are chosen over Tandem Warheads due to the high probability of encountering mechanicals on any given mission except for EXALT missions. Danger Zone increases the rocket's area of effect, which often allows to hit more aliens per shot and can soften the negative effect of bad aim: even the most awkward painter hits the intended spot if the brush is big enough. It also makes up for the damage fall-off at the rocket radius' periphery by increasing the radius. Mayhem increases the rocket damage. At the Master Sergeant Level, Extra Conditioning makes the rocketeer more sturdy. Since this build focuses solely on improving rockets, the Pure Rocketeer equips lighter primary weapons in order to improve mobility.

Sample Pure Rocketeer Build:
''Fragmentation -> HEAT Warheads -> Danger Zone -> Shock and Awe -> Mayhem -> Extra Conditioning.''

'''Role''': Mid/Long range Offensive Support.

An offensive support class, whose value depends on the players playstyle. The Rocketeer's speciality is the Rocket Launcher that they carry with them.

Even though they are less reliable than grenades, the Rocket Launcher's primary uses are still the same as in vanilla: clearing tightly packed groups or soft cover, while letting the rest of the squad clean up any stragglers.

A key strength of the Rocketeer is the '''Javelin Rockets''' they have access to, which have greatly reduced radius, but high damage and minimal scatter. Javelin Rockets also apply Shredded to affected targets, thereby increasing damage dealt by the entire squad.

With perks like ''Double Tap'', and ''Ranger'', the Rocketeer can hold their own during firefights if built as a rifleman, though less so than Infantry or Gunners.

Unlike vanilla, Rocketeers no longer rely on their Aim to determine how precisely they can aim their rockets. It can be valuable to end a Rocketeer's turn with ''steady weapon'' rather than overwatch. The Alloy Bipod can reduce scatter further due to its ''Platform Stability'' perk.

Due to the way that rockets behave in Long War, it is very dangerous to shoot rockets while friendly forces are near the target area, as the rockets can easily veer off course and hit friendly soldiers, meaning that danger close rocket support is next to impossible.

Rocketeers excel at removing groups of flying enemies; a Rocketeer with the ''HEAT Warheads'' perk can not only eliminate the support drones surrounding a Cyberdisc, but also inflict significant damage. Rocketeers can enable aggressive styles of play where rockets are used to remove cover, while others push against the enemy position.

==Sample Builds==

===Rocketeer Rifleman===

This build builds on improving the effectivness of the Rocket Launcher while still allowing the Rocketeer to be somewhat effective at general combat with an Assault Rifle. Double Tap helps keep the Rocketeer relevant in combat when not firing or preparing to fire their rocket launcher. HEAT warheads, Danger Zone and Mayhem improve the strength and power of the Rocket Launcher, with HEAT warheads helping guarantee the destruction of Drones and other Mechanical units. Extra Conditioning provides a small late game boost to the Rocketeers surviviabilty, Lock N' Load can be just as strong as an alternative to EC as it can give a bonus when firing their rifle.

''Double Tap-> HEAT Warheads -> Danger Zone -> Shock and Awe -> Mayhem -> Extra Conditioning.''

Weapons (LWR)

2020-08-10T19:38:49Z

Unamourdeswann:

[[Long_War_Rebalance|Back To Main Page]]

== In General ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Electric'''

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

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

'''Beam Lasers'''

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

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

'''Gauss'''

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

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

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

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

'''Pulse Lasers'''

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

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

'''Plasma'''

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

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

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

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

{| class="wikitable" style="max-width: 600px; text-align: center;"
|-
|+
|-
! style="padding: 4px;" | Weapon !! style="padding: 4px 15px;" | Base Damage

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

== Primary Weapons ==

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

===SMGs===

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Secondary Weapons ==

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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