Soldiers cant crack doors

[Punished Jeremy]

Ive seen this somehwere, but im not getting straight answers
My regular soldiers are trying to hack doors, but they cant
Gets to the point that I dont have any grenades left and its impossible to complete the mission
Is this intentional?

[drake_hound]

every soldier can stand next to the door and hack it.
You don´t need specialist. they do it at range.

But any soldier can hack open objective cases, locked doors. or anything else if they stand next to it. in case of the van. you need to stand right in front of the door.

[drake_hound]

The objectives are auto success. just the rewards might be out of reach.
But that is cause you need a specialist or dedicated soldier with hacking.

[Punished Jeremy]

Yes
And im telling you no
That didnt work for me. Its either a bug or intentional

Did I mention LW2?

In LW2 I did hack open doors and cases without specialist.
You must be having a mod conflict someplace or soldiers with hacking -1 (that part has been reported already)

[Punished Jeremy]

No like I said ive seen this post before on xcom forums
Some people think its a conflict with the hack level

[Kapjak]

do you have anyother mods enabled besides lw2? It may have caused your soldiers to roll a zero on your hacking skill which means you cant even open up a door. If this didnt help go check out the subreddit

I think you're confusing closed doors and doors that need to be hacked. Just to cover the basics;

1. If there's an action command with coding like "100100011100" etc etc in a box, needs to be hacked.

2. If there's a action command with a arrow pointing downwards to a circular object, thats something you can open.


However, on certain missions like liberating rebels from their Advent jail cells, you only need to hack one door to any rebel jail cell and all jail cells are unlocked (but still need to be opened)

Also playing LW2 as well.

Why are you telling people they are wrong when they are answering your question?

As other have said its not intentional you should still be able to hack by standing next to the door.

Its is likely to be a conflict with some of your mods or you somehow have a soldier with negative hacking. Neither of which is part of Long War.

So I made myself more clear

No, I can tell because right next to the cell I need to get the guy out of there is another cell that is unlocked and I can go through that like a regular door
This one is red and there is literally no prompt at all to try and hack it

But I do understand you but you don´t want to accept it is either a mod conflict problem.
Or a negative skilled hacking (so -1) this part has already been reported will be fixed in the next patch of LW2

I don´t have this issue. cause I already done hacking missions without a specialist. cause all my specialist always gets wounded somehow. the Aliens always want the specialist wounded.

They already reproduced many of the bugs and are working on it.
So what do you want as answer then? ok LW2 is to blaim, when on your end you can also check if there is some mod you are using that is conflicting with LW2.

Or clean up your config folder. and verify your game.
Look there could be a bugged door. that isn´t uncommon especially in the new map.
But I have not run into one in all my missions yet. if you run out of explosives.
Try to see if you got a technical with a flamethrower. those sometimes also destroys envoirement.

Failing that just reload the save before the mission. and get a different map

Ha ha
Yeah and I also have that problem where saves crash the game if they arent on the avenger. So it could take me another hour or two just to retry missions
I figured it was a bug, but Ithought it would be possible that hack skill would mater in long war more. I mean for all i know
I had no specialists in the squad btw
And I dont recall any of my current mods having hack altering effects to the point that it would make the prompts show up
I havent check out that compatibility list yet, but people have told me its not entirely correct either

This could have used like another month honestly
