Project Vulture, Colonel Jack Harlson. Only gives +30 HP not +3 Strength

[Muton]

I think if you accept your guys supposedly get +3 strength, which I believe theres a bug because you cant carry more nor get more HP. What do you get if you refuse?

If you refuse, Richter asks you to total the facility. If you tell Harlan no and then tell Richter Harlan was right, you get contacted by West.

West asks who you agree with, If you tell West you still think Harlan is on the right track, you get the research project for Vulture. If you tell West Richter was right, you get something like 130 or 150 general XP to spend on soldiers.

I'm so confused now. Is the +3 strength real? My experience in past games is that I do not get 3 increased carry weight, nor 30 more hitpoints for all my soldiers, so whats the point of getting +3 strength from Vulture?

130 XP? Do you mean SP? My guys are level 7 so XP is worthless.

If I want to get the 130 SP, what is the sequence I need to do starting from when Harlson first speaks to me about going to byzantium?

Sorry I was a bit drowsy when I typed that out initially.

If you accept Richter's mission to total the black site, you get a reward of tech, food, and materials. Then West contacts you asking whom you agreed with, even if you totaled the site. If you tell West Richter was right, he rewards 150 SP (the kind for training new abilities). If you tell West Harl's was right even though you still totaled the facility, West still grants you the research for Vulture.

so theres no benefit refusing the mission nor telling West Harlson was wrong.. And what about the +3 strength, you dont really get any strength improvement

[Phoenix7786]

The 150 SP is still amazing for leveling up a B-team or an emergency replacement.

If I remember correctly, I believe you CAN go over the base caps for a stat; it just won't reflect in a soldier's profile screen, infuriatingly enough.

Let me consult the wiki about this.

read your response again, you mention 2 cases where I tell West Harlson was right, and no case where I tell him he was wrong

I've confirmed that Project Vulture is bugged, you don't get +3 strength for carry weight, you only get +30 HP
