Scouts are the best Meld hunters in LW until you get MECS. Early in the campaign, I like giving them carbines or SMGs to boost their movement range even more. That means you can equip them with a shotgun for deadly point-blank flank shots, or a Marksman’s rifle for long range flank attacks. They are also the most versatile soldiers in terms of weapon loadout they have access to every weapon type except SAW/LMGs and the sniper rifle. Since they have such high mobility (especially if you take the Sprint perk), they can flank enemies that your other soldiers wouldn’t be able to reach. That also means they generally favor lighter armor and even weapons like carbines and SMGs.Īlthough the Scout doesn’t get as many damage-oriented perks as Assaults or Infantry, they are deceptively deadly when used correctly. They benefit more from mobility than most classes, so you’ll want to keep that in mind when choosing between the Scout and the Sniper at Specialist rank. Simply put, the Scout is best suited for scouting ahead of your squad. It borrows several perks from the Sniper in EW, but the Scout plays somewhat differently in LW. The Scout is one of my favorite classes to use in LW. If you don’t play with these Second Wave options, the following guide will still be relevant. Again, keep that in mind with certain perks. Aiming Angles increases player and AI accuracy the closer a unit is to flanking another. Keep that in mind when deciding whether a particular soldier should be given a certain perk. Hidden Potential grants randomized boosts to a soldier’s stats at level up. Also, it makes Medkits more important for the player to ensure your soldiers are fighting at full effectiveness. This is important because with Red Fog enabled, inflicting minor damage is helpful because it can effectively neuter an enemy. Red Fog decreases player and AI accuracy for every point of health (not armor) damage sustained, up to -30% it also decreases mobility for damaged units. When necessary, I will explain the perks in greater detail but I will assume for the most part that the player is familiar with what perks do.ĭisclaimer: I typically use the following Second Wave options in my campaigns that slightly influence how I use certain classes: Red Fog, Hidden Potential, and Aiming Angles.
Most of the perks are identical to their vanilla counterparts, but Long War adds a few perks and changes others. These guides are designed to introduce new Long War players to the new classes.
Long War is a comprehensive mod for the computer game XCOM: Enemy Within. Long War expands the base game’s four classes into eight.
