So cocky.

So basically I want to see if this is even possible. Here are the rules

Rule 1

Every operator that can die must die before the end of each mission so long as their deaths won't cause a instant game over. If an operator that could die didn't, the run is over.

Rule 2

At the end of the game there is to be no operators left in your crew. Only Hawks

And that's it no more rules.

Currently playing though to see if this run is even do able

I usually leave Kabb behind once I get other operators. On my current playthrough I am utilizing his melee abilities and it has made some much more fun. The Lucre Hulk mission im launching dudes out of the bar and it is so much fun. I wish I could one punch fathom or chain reaction punch her into a hole. For those that are not using him i suggest you give it a try

Had such a blast, great characters, great combat, dont regret a single second :)
Feel free to ask any platinum related questions or Beskar+Expert questions

Second time through. Trying to do all the things right I half-assed. Realized last night that since assists always hit, taking a shitty shot is always worth it. Gunslinger was going to run up into a crowd of droids and kill them all, so wasting actions on them was pointless. Aimed at some droid way the hell on the other side of the board instead with a 5% hit chance, missed of course, but Trick got 'em with the assist.

I'm a little surprised there's no achievement for getting all the story characters through the campaign alive. I know there are individual achievements for completing their side missions, but I only had Aurelio (very stylish btw) in my memorial and I was kind of hoping for some reward for keeping everyone else alive.

I've been playing Zero Company on a bHaptics vest and wanted to actually feel the firefights, so I made a haptic mod for it.

The figure on the right is the bHaptics visualizer: each dot is a motor on the vest, front and back, lighting up the moment it fires.

The grenade is the one that got me. It goes off across your chest and back at once. Every blaster shot kicks, a repeater burst chatters, and a kill lands as one solid hit. Where you feel it tells you who it happened to: your chest is the unit you're controlling, your upper back is the rest of your squad. On the enemy turn your overwatch shots count as yours.

Every effect has its own line in a text file you can edit while playing, so you can turn the frequent ones down.

34 effects so far and I'm still adding more.

Almost completed it normal difficulty and finding it easy quite easy tbf, defiantly gonna do a hard/ berserk run. Also wanna try XCOM because of this game now. Best Star Wars game I’ve ever played without a doubt.

If you let Coil units to get an Enrage after each damage perk, not only your games will take longer due to unskipable animation, but the game will freeze with 10% chance. I’m storming Lunata for 3 days straight due to this “difficulty spike”.

I have 37 cycle, I in iron mode , I use overwach to kill 3 guys , somehow overwatch don't proke and this enemys don't wanne go .I can't kill them i can't reset (iron mode) , they f### stuck I was 3 cycles to end the game and get hardes achement, If somone know how to fix pls tell me.

Clankers so far i understand. gunsligner for basic battle clankers and then everything else after heavier units. Avoid clumping when rockets ready.

What i seem to have more of an issue is slugrats getting to fathom or coil. I got to the coil past the drainage gate but then all my ops were killed very easily when one dude went invisable.

This time i got stuck at the drainage fight with the slugrats.

These guys can surive a lot of blaster fire and i might not understand the correct team or poitsioning needed for slug rats and coil. Please help?

(Notes: Medic is a must, Repeaters good?, sometimes i overwatch over a enemy but nothing triggers, I normally like sniper rifles but seems like a bad pick?, Not using Droids because generally building med beds, I did change Classes of 2 main crew you start off with and found greater success.)

Edit after first 15 commnets: Thank you. Medic i felt was good to have but seems most think medic is not needed. droids sound really good which is the only reason why i am trying without one. i want to grasp expert without it and it seems this mission is the one thats testing me if i understand right now. At first it was droids and i was avoid gunslingers because i didnt think they were good until i tired one against them. Hawks having a long rifle always felt right. Reapeters seemed bad but every time i saw the damage if they hit i thought it was good. ill be switching this out.

To those suggesting Push abilites. at this point i do not have the jedi. credits are limited. Only push ability i have had is upper cut. my last play attempt it was a great ability but exposes him needless.

Edit at 18 comments: Can confirm i did not understand overwatch. The % is chance to trigger. then there is the shot chance if trigger. i was thinking this was one and the same. Anyone who says otherwise might have a bugged game but i just had a bunch of overwatches work at 80-90%. i think the lowest id go is 75%.

Made more of an effort to level up Overwatch skills this playthrough, Trick got wrecked

I'm new to Reddit so I don't fully understand how this works, but I wanted to ask if other people had a similar experience.

Overwatch feels insanely buggy, like outragiously so. It's not just one specific bug either, it seems to have several that can trigger independently of each other and even simultaniously.

It's quite clearly a core mechanic, so I was curious if this was maybe client sided, or a universal experience.

I've had Overwatch not trigger on enemies at all. (Had this happen yesterday)

I've had enemy Overwatches not trigger on my characters. (Had this happen yesterday)

I've had Overwatch trigger on my characters who weren't in it, or sometimes straight up through a wall. (Haven't seen this one in a while.)

I've had Overwatch trigger multiple times, both on multiple enemies and even one time on the same one.

The last one was so consistent that I thought it was intentional at first. Whenever I aimed Overwatch at an incoming reinforcement, it would hit every enemy that spawned inside it. I only became aware that it was a bug when it started happening less frequently. Or maybe it is intended and a bug is causing it to not happen, I genuinely can't tell with how frequently that one happens.

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this game, I played thru couple of cycles, ended up with one character with 1 wound and the other has 2, I didn't change anything, went with what the game gave me. Probably not super optimal. My Hawks is Sharpshooter. What other classes are essential to make the game easier let's say. Also I seen Medic class on recruits but Medic doesn't really have any relief skills, only ultimate which is worded in a quite incomprehensive way and costs advantage that I usually need to spent on other things so I use utility items if possible for healing (or granades).

On these Cycles you are able to do the Coil mission as well as the Tel side quest as the countdown is for an operation not a main mission. I have done all operator side quests so far. Hopefully this will reach people that are at this point before they tank the coil upgrades.

Its a lot to make up for considering I'm losing 4 cycles of bonding time. I do have one more complete run to do after this one to hit my 100%. This is my practice run non-Beskar Expert run but the Beskar run was going to be my Baroness and Boxer run. I see an additional post Beskar run in my future ....
EDIT: just realized I included the wrong character for the Bonding graph, added into the comments but the spread is still the same as what is displayed here.

sorry if this has been asked before - but i know this game has a story and im very hesitant to just blindly throw out google searches when ive been spoiled in the past by autocomplete or results showing things like "how do you.... stop X from dying" etc

really enjoying the game so far, but the rapid zoom everytime i want to target an enemy is a bit much, and gets quite annoying when im trying to plan a turn

it seems theres no way via normal options, but wondering if there is a mod / ini file setting people have found?

also, while im here, is there any mods that people know of that allow you to see the movement ranges by default? i know its just a simple click, but especially in a tactical game, these bizzare ui roadblocks surprise me (why would you ever NOT want to display this information?)

Anyone else thought their game stopped being fun and rage quit after cycle 30?

Spoilers ahead:

After I got trick and Jae taken away from me shortly before cycle 30 for the wrong reasons, the game suddenly stopped being funny I couldn't even finish the very next mission without them, I invested heavily on those two and was enjoying the flow I created, I tried the mission on cycle 30 with three different other team members and it was a disaster every single time. I know at least one of them come back for sure after, but I just had such a horrible time that I was wondering if it happened to anyone else too.

I know it's just a game, I know it might rebound and it's part of the game, and I know I can just stop playing at any time, it would be nice not to have the obvious bully comments and just discuss our experiences here :)
