[Haspen]

SMG + Pistol + Tac Vest + AP Grenade and HE Grenade!

[Hawk132]

Assault Rifle, Pistol, Tac Vest, Laser Sight, AP Grenade.

[Toaster]

If anyone cares, my XCOM/LW thought process for this early on:

Tac Armor on anyone with less than 5 HP
Plate on anyone still with less than 5 HP
At least two flashbangs
At least one medkit, two if possible
At least one scanner
At least one smoke
2:1 AP/HE grenade (approximate is fine)

[Sheb]

Assault rifle, Tac Armor, Pistol, Medkit, AP Grenade

Edit: Sorry, corrected.

[Solymr]

Where your secondary at

Even if it's a choice between Pistol or Machine Pistol :v

[Glowcat]

Assault Rifle, Pistol, Tactical Armor, Medkit, Scanner

[NAV]

SMG, pistol, tac vest, Laser sight, flashbang

[Toaster]

If no one brings a flashbang for the outsider (hint: it's going to have 10 HP and great aim) then it will kill people.  This is why you should have brought a SPEC: someone with a shotgun to put a round of buckshot in it.

[kj1225]

Isn't the outsider normally the last alien you fight and a big push over?

[NAV]

I suppose I can switch out the alien trophy for a flashbang.

[Hawk132]

Isn't the outsider normally the last alien you fight and a big push over?

He is a pushover in vanilla XCOM. In Long War they're much more dangerous, not to mention the fact that they usually come in groups later.

[heydude6]

doesn't he also come with health regen?

[Toaster]

To the tune of three points a turn at the start.

[Sheb]

Well, we just have to make a good breach. With several grenades, it shouldn't be too hard to blow its cover and murderize it.

Also, I don't think rooks can take a sawed-off shotgun NAV.
