This is the WOTC version - https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1126501968&searchtext=ADVENT+Sniper+wotc

@aguswings:
There's a WoTC version too.

it's a big shame since this mod is outdated and not working with WOTC

Out of curiosity, will this be updated for WotC? The only reason I ask is because not all of the mods for XCOM 2 are going to be updated and will remain for the nonWotC expansion. Not trying to pry, just wanted to ask a question. :/

Can we get an advent sneper rifle?

as per my other comments, mate. definitely better check all your mods for bloated files ( this thread )

also is this the same as the advent sniper in spectrum yellow enemies mod??

these guys are awesome and deadly! Wiped out on my first GOM! There was a whole team of them and they just picked off my soldiers one by one

@hygorct:
Read a few posts down

compatible with LW2?

@ChaosMadeFlesh:
Apologies. My telepathy wasn't working.

@Dragon32:
I'm well aware of that. But some mods are being tweaked while others aren't. Maybe by asking the authors will see that there's interest in their work and update it.

I did play your other mods with Long war 2 and they were working like a charm. This one however made long war super easy. I mean long war works as it used to but enemy pods are Vanilla size. If you get super light enemy size thru infiltration then theres just 1 enemy which is ussualy a scout drone XD

@aguswings, ChaosMadeFlesh:
Additonal Enemies need balancing and an ABA2 type of functionality to add new enemies to pods
From here: Mods Compatible with LW2 Rev.1.9 [docs.google.com]

So that goes for all the other enemy mods where you've asked this, ChaosMadeFlesh. If the mod's not been updated since LW 2 came out, it's definitely not compatible.

I'm with aguswings. If not compatible with LW2, can it be tweaked?

please update or integrate this super duper amazing mod to LONG WAR 2.

I dont think that it is compatible with LW2 at the moment

Request:
Can we get the weapon model they use?
Looks badass enough to go with another Advent Weapon mods.

I love this mod, but I do have a few questions. Is there anyway to have them automatically placed in every mission encounter? Is it possible to see a much harder version of this mod, as in once you activate a pod, they scamper out of sight but can still shoot you or activate Longwatch? Thank you in advance if you reply, and thank you once more for making this enemy!

Make sure you grab Advent Sniper - he works perfectly with LWS Alien pack and is a scary beast as he scatters *away* from the contact to set-up a killshot on you.

Had a few memorable Cat & Mouse games where I'm on an evac mission timer but I know that AS is activated and still out there in the fog, Long Watch overwatching me...

I have enjoyed facing these enemies, great mod

I've had this mod for quite a long time now and every time I run into the snipers, they do run for cover or run to the back somewhere and go into over watch. Which is what they should do. They don't have a lot of HP for balance but can move for cover and shoot at you on that move if they want. Which I have also had them do many times. So in my many games, they are working just fine guys.

Used this throughout my last complete playthrough and I don't remember the derpy AI others have mentioned. That said, I was prioritising these guys so not many of them lived to do that much.

Looking to download this mod. How many people have had success with it, vs how many have been experiencing bugs?

@Farkyrie I love the mod idea, and the seeming terror the ADVENT Sniper brings about, but so far the snipers I've seen don't do anything. They scatter to cover and do nothing with their action points. I have mods installed other then this one but none that should be affecting them.

@Garfield (Garfield (Garfield)) I have the same issue. Does anyone know what causes them to never shoot?

Has anyone else encountered derpy AI? The snipers in my file haven't taken a single shot at my units, and tend to run into the open. The only AI mod I have installed is for Sectoids.

Care to use the rifle from the Total Advent weapons mod?

It should work fine iirc. Farkyrie can confirm at some point. :)

Does anyone know if this mod works with new DLC?

Combat protocol has been a major help against these guys.

While no i haven't downloaded the mod as of yet (but im about to!) The sniper rifle looks beast until the barrel.

I'm both afraid and excited. As an avid sniper user, let the counter-sniping begin!

Is this to much for anyone who wasn't top of class at West Point?

The terror of leaving Advent Sniper alive after a pod reveal is quite real. Excellent work.

Hi,is this mod compatibile with "Better AI" mod??

Is it possible to make the sniper weapon model available for our soldiers to use, with Tier 1, 2 and 3 versions?

I agree with Xavier that the spawn rate is high but deep inside, I find it satisfying, murdering more and more Advent snipers with my snipers :D so I don't mind seeing more of these guys on the field

p.s. can you give them rail gun effect? I love how badass their sniper rifle look and would be more immersive to have the rail gun effect from Enemy Within for them as well

Its not necessarily that there are too many per pod, but just about all reiforcements have snipers.

@Xavier L. Wulf Most people that tell me that there are too many, have Increased pod size.

I have to say, the spawn weight is still very high, considering how much straight damage they do (Legend with increased pod size may play a part), but still.

The Advent Sniper has been updated, check change notes.

Happy to report back that the Sniper trooper is super cool to play against. I have no problem with them having Snapshot IF THEY HAVE some kinda small aim penalty. Is there a way to tweak the .INI to give them -20 aim penalty or remove the Crit/Executioner trait when Snapshot is used?

@brandon.daugustine I will. I've just been extremely busy.

@brandon.daugustine i changed it but it doesnt work ._.

Couldn't find where to tweak that Snapshot ability. Can you turn it off by default pretty please?

this is the coolest Alien addition in the workshop but I am concerned about the "move and shoot without aim penalty"? damn, it's a bit unbalanced.

give them a weakness or something. Even with aim penalty, I think they are already powerful

okies. They are hard with IESS+!

@DabHand I just assumed that the aliens would have the technology to move and shoot without any aim penalties.

10- aim penalty would be nice

I'm not averse to snapshot, but an aim penalty would make sense. Is there a reason why you decided against that?
