The Psycho trait what does it do?

[Yuri Kossori]

no im not talking about the extra dialog.
I dont know how many hours im testing it and I still got nothing.
its not like JA2 and its definitely not bonus damage like some youtubers say.

If you try to take a single shot, sometimes, they ignore that and empty the magazine.

i guess im pretty unlucky for that to never happen.
is there any trigger or is it just a random chance?

Really? I thought that trait is for specific conversation choices only… cuz I never saw my ‘psycho’ squad mate emptying his mag…XD

I thought it had a button on the UI to make a psycho shot or something like the other mercs use their specials. I dono my psycho died.

[Rianith]

I chose Psycho on my IMP and it's only happened once in maybe 20 or so fights, so pretty rare it seems. Never saw a psycho merc hire do it though.

Not sure, but maybe if you give them an LMG it will trigger more often. It didn't happen often in JA2 but only once in 20 fights seems way too rare. The conversation options are worth it though.

so single shot has a small chance to go full auto. hmmm

this is the 2nd time I heard about a Button on the UI. the 1st one said it's melee....

aight. I guess back to testing.

I know what you are thinking XD, go psycho with a sniper? But the occurrences are a myth…

Game never explains it, but Psycho also gives you +1 AP when you are injured, while normally being injured gives -1 AP, so I swapped Scoundrel for a Psycho for my melee I.M.P for +2 AP increase in the heat of the battle. Still prefer for game to have Lone Wolf as personality trait in the future.

That's nice, thank you for sharing.
Lone Wolf is currently bugged and does nothing as far as I know.

For Fidel: if you don't put him to "work" (in battles) and keep him idle too much .. he will just say bye-bye and leave your team.

All the LMGs i used so far only have burst fire mode, though

[Yuri Kossori]

did some tests

Psycho IMP 85 health
on 0-2 injury levels -1AP (Moral low)
but on 3-5 Injury levels 0AP penalty (Moral stable)

Negotiator IMP 85 health
on 0-2 injury levels -1AP (Moral low)
but on 3-5 Injury levels -2AP (Moral very low)

random test just to see if its consistent

Gizzly 94 health
on 0-2 injury levels -1AP (Moral low)
but on 3-5 Injury levels -2AP (Moral very low)

Steroid 100 health1 +1ap (high moral coz grizzly is around)
on 0-2 injury levels 0AP (Moral stable1)
but on 3-5 Injury levels -1AP (Moral low)

Meltdown & Nailes both psychos
on 0-2 injury levels -1AP (Moral low)
but on 3-5 Injury levels 0AP penalty (Moral stable)

when melt down took shotgun to the chest taking more than half her HP & gaining 3 Injuries. +1AP (high moral) split second(1 turn?)
shot her again with a total of 6 injuries 0AP penalty (Moral stable)

confirmed Psycho nullifies recovers moral and might gain moral when getting hit lol

still nothing on the random burst fire and the UI button
