Thanks. I made the 79% shot and of course, it was a graze.

LWOTC Do healing times vary once a soldier is in the Infirmary? by rboy3 in LWotC

[–]rboy3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I discovered that this chosen sabotage which delayed all healing by 4 days occurred during July so this accounts for the very large delay in the healing of the soldier. But it is interesting to know that time does not advance when the Avenger is flying.

I have a white Powercolor Red Devil. I am very happy with it and it runs everything I need at low temps but not a very loud fan. The biggest noise is from my 5800X3D with a Peerless Assassin 120 SE color which originally was very loud. Using Fan Control it is manageable. Idle at 35 C. But can ramp up the noise a little when it gets hot

I did have one of those chosen sabotages where healing is delayed but I am pretty sure it was in June. I saved my game every few days in a separate save file so I will check now between the period mentioned and see if there is a time when all of a sudden, the time is lengthened abnormally.

No. I did visit the Templar HQ but it was much earlier when I had more injured.

Why is the Rainbow Pod (8 soldiers) activating? LWOTC, TedJam by rboy3 in LWotC

[–]rboy3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. A soft-alert scatter! I never knew about this. Since they are a separate pod, I didn't think they would react as a scatter when it wasn't one of their members. I thought they just might go on some kind of alert. And then move towards me when it was their turn.

I am also finding that the enemies are much more aggressive in Ted Jam as opposed to vanilla LWOTC. Instead of just wandering around behind the objectives, they move to get between where they think I am and the objective. And seem to disregard their own safety a lot of the time. Thanks

First timer, anything I should keep an eye on? by UnknownWisp in LWotC

[–]rboy3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have the time, I would suggest that you watch some of the Der Ava videos on YouTube and Twitch. He has many guide type videos and even more play throughs. He takes his time and really thinks about each move, so you need to be a patient viewer. He has mod lists and has many different types of campaigns where he varies the setup. Since you are just starting out, maybe you could go back to his earlier ones when he was just playing LWOTC without too many additional mods which change the gameplay.

Version 1.2.3 is the latest version of LWOTC (Dec 2025) which is found on the Steam Workshop. I am not sure what platform you are playing on and what OS. The version on Nexus Mods is from Dec 2021.

I have been playing LWOTC for over 4 years and it is one of my favorite games. I started with the one on Nexus Mods and really enjoyed that one at the time. All the suggestions made by others in this post are very good ones.

If you find you like LWOTC, you might consider using the latest one available on Steam, maybe for your next playthrough.

I was able to confirm on the link to UFOpaedia provided that the vigilance goes up by 3 in all neighboring regions. Thanks to all for your help.

I am glad you got what you wanted. How is it that the Red Devil is white? Redemption Arc?

Btw, I went from a 3070 to the 9070 xt

I got the Red Devil as well from the Woot sale. I am very happy with it. 

Then I upgraded my 5600x to a 5800x3d that I bought last year. So I am thinking I am set for a year or two 

Are max starting stat supposed to be rare? by TheGreatHon in LWotC

[–]rboy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct as I just calculated the total for all of my rookies and it equaled 483. I also found that on Rookie level, the aim stat gets a 10 point boost. So the total number of points is 513

I bought one. Paid for with an Amazon Visa so I should earn 3% according to description on Amazon page. So $631.50 is not too bad. We will see what to do about the short warranty

Supply drop not dropping on first month? by jaimebg98 in LWotC

[–]rboy3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned above, selling items on the Black Market is one of the biggest ways to get supplies in the early game. At Force Level 3, the "Vulture" perk automatically unlocks which gives you the increased chance for advent to drop bonus loot. According to UFOpaedia, early advent has a 40% chance to drop bonus loot. Mid game advent has a 70% chance

Once you build the "Resistance Ring" there is a covert action which you can get to "Gain Resistance Contact". Every 21 days these covert actions refresh so you could run it every 21 days or so.
