Commander, in our efforts to evaluate the progress of the resistance, we discovered that ADVENT had deployed a virus onto our network systems. We are happy to report that this virus has been isolated and destroyed, although it resulted in a loss of some collected data. We will continue to monitor activity, but know that all communications and statistics from our operatives in the field are now current and accurate as of today. ADVENT is in for a rude awakening if they think XCOM will be defeated by such routine tactics.

So it seems they fixed it! People can actually have their wins recorded!

Something is still up. Certain symbols switch over to ADVENT when hovered over. Certain lines were decoded on reddit (where I posted this to mad karma).

Pay attention to the aliens killed and soldiers lost. The text flickers every once and a while leaving only a few words behind
First one says The enemy is right Second one says War is great
Something tells me this isn't an accident.

Considering this was hidden in the source code that for that div-tag I would say you are onto something: http://imgur.com/JuSuGsU
Edit: Something similar is placed in the other area you pointed out.

Fascinating.

Unrelated (probably!?!) I just got an update for XCOM 2, but I can't figure out what it is. Oh well. Time to play some Multiplayer, extra-cheese.

In multiplayer, codexes+areaofeffectguy+massmedic=win. Simply fire your area off effect on your codexes, have them clone, have your mass medic heal all of them at once, repeat until you have a massive amy of teleporting, rifting, codexes.

You want to put repeaters on people with damage over time ammo. Every turn you cause damage the percent chance is reapplied.

     And you want to use it with Venom ammo.  In the config files, fire and acid damage are limited to two rounds after ignition, while poison damage continues for five rounds.

Does Restoration work on Codices? If so, auto-win button.

It can genuinely be the same guy. You can rescue captured soldiers.

I did rescue him!  It made me happy.  RIP to the two soldiers I never got a chance to rescue.

Yes. That's what I meant by mass-medic. It is quite ridiculous. That is not even to mention the codexes ability to teleport and make people's guns stop working

Poison's the worst, acid is the best. A lot of the things you want that proc against are immune to poison.

allegedly you can skip the skyranger scene by pressing caps lock

Its not new news either way.

Acid only does damage, doesn't do shit for mobility or aim, and isn't available as an ammo type.

Hardly anyone is immune to acid and it shreds the most armor. Poison has a great radius though.

[Mephansteras]

Acid grenades/bombs are great, yes. However, this discussion was about the best ammo type to use in conjunction with a Repeater mod on a weapon. Since there are no acid ammos, it's really just a question between Fire and Poison as a DoT to proc the repeater effect.

[Aklyon]

Claerly the answer here is 'mod in an acid ammo type'

[Sean Mirrsen]

I'm still wondering how the hell do the special rounds function with plasma-beam weapons. >_>

[Egan_BW]

They just kinda... rub it on the beam.
