Is this compatible with LW2?

what is the vest in then screenshot?

does this work with Long War 2?

Y'know a cosmetic version of their armor would be pretty good.

they do spawn now but they are super rare and usless (they never shoot and their ever vigilent doesent work)

they started spawning for me around month 3

when do they start to spawn (what month aproximatly) because they havent started 2 spawn 4 me and im not sure if the mods not working or im being impatiant.advanced mechs are allreading spawning in my campain so i would assume the recon units should have started 2 spawn by now

Just popping in to ask if it's possible for this to be updated for WOTC as unlikely it might be, just saying since there are people who do think about these mods but either lack the modding skill or the permission to update it to WOTC themselves.

Just wanted to thank you for this brilliant enemy, and your muton demolisher. Playing my first run thru of "A Better Advent 2" added your mods to the mix as DERBK said it was compatible out of the box.

Your 2 Recons and His Demolitionist & Advent Officer from ABA were responsible for total squad wipe. Your Recons flanked me to left and right , His officer threw a Flashbang stunning a large portion of my squad, followed by the demolitionist raining plasma grenades from range. It was -ugly- the best I can say was it was over quickly... except for the crying.

met hi only once so far, on avenger defend mission and was not able to capture the body and do autopsy.

all your units seem awesome but i don't see any LW2 compatibility :'( that is depressing dude

compatible with LW2?

yeah, that would be excellent. making this particular mod LW2 compatible. Great unit btw.

I'd love to see this tweaked to work with LW2... Please?

What is that white vest in the third screenshot? A new item?

I only ever encountered the enemy once throughout my whole game. Are they supposed to be uncommon or was I just unlucky?

Overwatch doesn't seem to trigger anymore, is that because he has hunkered down?

update for autopsy please

Possibly. Unsure as of now

Will there be an autopsy for these guys?

Saw the update. Is Overwatch working?

Using Ever Vigilant Fog Of War Fix and A Better ADVENT.
Not using Overwatch Mastery.
How can you tell if mods conflict?

Is there a lategame version of this guy? I've met him twice throughout the whole campaign(

I guess it is incompatitable with other mods , since I got crash after installed this mod .

@Kobazco got similar results from ADVENT's Aliens Overwatch Mastery (Ever Vigilant overwatch).
I had 189+ mods active at the time. So it must be one of those mods that breaking Ever Vigilant.

I will say that I had about 189+ mods active at the time... So its possible that another mod is preventing the overwatch to trigger.

its weird, ive had overwatches trigger from.. a distance id like to say, but up close it wont activate. Do the recon soldiers have conflicting perks or starts or anything? Shouldnt be anything wrong with the perk if you just used the vanilla

Rip I try and still don't know what's wrong with it

Overwatch does not work

But it still holds the red tints on its armour

the shield bearers are white. so whats wrong with the recon unit lookin how it is

don't get your hopes up, recon unit has known issues that I have little ideas on how to fix.

I would rework the skin, so there's one thats red, but with blue highlights, you know so it fits with the advent troops, but still like the idea though, can't wait to test it out when I get the game :)

Updated pray it works

so lil problemo first time I encountered these guys, it was a pod of 4 of these guys, really great ai in combination with "Ever Vigilant" which.. well would be great if the perk worked? For some reason I could freely move even right next to them when they have that perk active.

Wow ok lol. The Xcom game folder contains the template for everything that I use for nodding so I prefer to have it.

You should really remove XComGame folder under src for all your mods, I basically have to move your mods away from workshop folder and unsub for every single mods from you.

I like these guys. They seem a little bit broken what with their overwatching being visible from the other side of the map in the fog of war, but they're interesting enemies.

Working on a fix now hopefully

Is anyone else having an issue where these guys don't actually take their overwatch shots?

Dunno if you have seen this, but this reddit thread shows how to get rid of unecessary files in XCOM 2 mods that only make it harder to load:

If you have already, then just ignore my post :)

Found you through the Muton Demolisher and realized you released lots of mods (including the Elite Viper which just sounded masochistic, but I decided today that I enjoy suffering) that add new units. Was disappointed to read the comments here and see that they're their own unit squads instead of joining normal squads.
Most militaries don't operate on big clusters of the same unit. Mixed Unit Tactics has been a doctrine as far back as the Roman empire, so it'd make sense that a Captain would have standard infantry or heavy units to command and lighter recon units to support and relay information to the Captains.

Kobazco, i reckon these guys should be allowed to mix in with other Advent too. In my mind a squad of soldiers would be a mixed bag: XCom is, afterall.

It's a shame they don't mix with other squads. I mean as a scout you think they'd scout for the rest.

@Kobazco They defintely move, so that bit is good. Sadly I know this because of the Ever-Vigilant bug, but once Firaxis nails that one these will be a sweet addition to any game.

Huh, didn't know that. Also in MP you might not be able to get any units that have Ever-Vigilant, you can only get gauss weapon-tier soldiers.

?? 2k has bug forums they read.

I'm not sure there's any way of getting into contact with Fireaxis, at least no way googling 'Fireaxis contact information' will find.

That is crazy there is no way to hide the ever vigilant ability. Make sure to report that to fireaxis. That shit needs to be hotfixed. If what you say is true that must mean it is also true in MP?

Sure it makes sense if their scout ability is to have wider concealment detection. Especially given that they aren't currently scouting anyway and I always know exactly where their location is!

Part of their scouting power is also to provide their squad with overwatch support.

From a balancing standpoint and logical standpoint this makes a lot more sense IMO. Though it is a moot point if there is no way to hide their map location. Bummer! This unit is almost a great addition for the enemy.

@GeminiGod

1. No way to fix the ever vigilant thing sorry.

2. They should be moving at least a bit, theres no real way to make them move as if they are already activated thought that I know of.

3. They are supposed to only show up with eachother, because it wouldnt make much sense for a scout unit to be mixed in with an assault and others right?
