Just a note, inaccuracy means inaccurate in anything ranged.  That includes grenades...  Its safer giving us melee guys a pea-shooter to not hurt anyone... if you insist on giving us a sidearm...  or at least non-lethal...

[EuchreJack]

Doesn't X-Com Apoc divide up firing accuracy and throwing accuracy?

[Tellemurius]

Also, that flag clearly shows an alien from the previous game holding hands with humans, not a Apoc alien.

wrong its a mutant i never seen a green sectoid anyway.

[Myroc]

I'll take a Laser Sniper Rifle too, since I'm supposed to be, you know, an actual sniper.

[Akura]

I don't mind grabbing a machine gun and doing basic grunt work. I'd still like to have an explosive device or proximity mine on hand though. Diablo Incendiary grenades are cheaper than AP grenades, and get more total damage out of them.

Spoiler: We should be (click to show/hide)

swimming in powerful explosives once Skeletoids join the party. They, along with Anthropods with upgraded weapons, bring lots of nice things. Disruptor Guns, Devastators, Boomeroids, Disruptor Mines, Personal Shields(GET LOTS OF THESE), Teleporters(THESE TOO). Better yet, after researching these goodies, we can produce all of them, except Entropy Guns(which don't work on aliens anyway).

Under no circumstance should any of us go in without a full Megapol Armor set. Don't bother with the Marsec Armor, they're more expensive, and provide less protection(albeit it's lighter). Only the torso is significant, because of the flight ability, but that only turns you into an airborne target later on.

[warhammer651]

give me a heavy weapon then

[Hugehead]

When do we start?

[Boksi]

I'll take a machinegun or whatever.

When do we start?

You can't really expect better when explosions(and fire) are fun to play with in Apoc...  Plus, the demographic..

[Akura]

Explosives and firenades aren't as damaging to us as you think. Then again, unless it's an emergency, I never drop a grenade on myself, except stun grenades(the gas tastes like blueberries! ), and even then...

Actually, mutants usually have abysimal strength, so they greatly benefit from the lighter Marsec armor when available.  Otherwise, mutants won't have enough TU to keep up with the rest of the team, as heavy equipment relative to strength decreases TU.  But I totally agree that everyone needs full armor, no matter how heavy it might be.

My mistake, it has been a while since I have seen the mutant alliance flag.  Sorry about that.

We're playing Real-Time mode. I've never had any significant problems with heavy-armored mutants keeping up with the rest of the squad in RT mode.
And in any case, I usually hack the savefiles and give everyone teleporters anyway. *cough*
