This is great. I adjusted the Veteran to reflect Legend. Do I need to change this too?

; Aim Assist
NormalSquadSize=4
ReasonableShotMinimumToEnableAimAssist=50
MaxAimAssistScore=95

Thanks for posting this, after LW 1 & 2 you can tell right away when you're being pandered to, lol

Thanks for the detailed mod description. Made it easy for me make my own ini edits for War of the Chosen. I went ahead and made dodging remove all damage and made it possible for enemies to have chances to hit below 5% and above 95%. Even added back the height disadvantage mechanic and nerfed it so it isn't a huge deal.

So thanks for the inspiration. This earns my fav.

Thanks

Do you need a new save for it to take effect? Because although I changed the values it continued to happen for me, at least extended information is stating it is.

I think you have to make all the values the same as "Legend" difficulty, so a 1.0 multiplier and the rest 0s

MaxAimAssistScore=0 should be enough, right?

WOTC - mod probably won't work, so just follow the updated directions in the description.

No reply, guess it doesnt?

Rookie Diff on LW2 has a Lower Difficulty Aim Bonus, would this mod remove that? If not how would I go about removing it? TY

LW2 completely overhauls the to-hit system. I'm just going to assume there are no hidden modifiers on any difficulty in LW2 because that's how it was in LW-EW.

Same question here.

redownloading xcom 2 for longwar 2. wondering if this mod would be needed. and if so would it get an update/compatibility patch...

Ah, because people roll 1d7 far more often than they roll 1d6, right?
It's like, riding a tiger.

"it's like rolling a 1 on 1d6."

More like a 1 on 1d7...

So stupid that the aim assist isn't shown in the vanilla hit chance window. Now disabled so not a problem. THanks for showing me how.

says 100% hit chance?

Actually -1286352784% XD

85% misses are common because it's 85%. That's a 15% chance to miss, it's like rolling a 1 on 1d6.

Iknew it! I knew they were Liars sbout the hit chances! But hey look to actually be helping the players and it doesn't explain why missing 85% shots is so damn common........

Skyomyke, if it's just a ploy to get workshop popularity, then why didn't you do it before him? Also it's a relatively simple Ini edit. It's not like he stole content from anyone. So what's the big deal?

@Syko, oh shut up.

PSA: XCOM EU/EW also did this as well. This is not new. This is not a surprise. This is just a cheap ploy to get workshop popularity.

我说怎么最后几枪打我枪枪都中呢......

@ 1/2: No, they just don't get penalized as much on higher difficulties e.g. Commander+. Killing the aliens off and then making the survivors(if any) miss or not attack with cover/LOS/debuffs is still the best thing to do.

Right. But are there any differences in the chances to hit or miss at higher difficulty levels beside this assist? Like aliens get more HP at high difficulty but does THEIR chance to hit increase if THEY lose their soldiers or miss shots in a row?

I knew there was a reason I thought my first run on Vet/Normal felt too damned easy. Of course, I'm never playing normal again... so... off to my legend game!

@PixelNuts, this mod makes the game harder. Despite how people like to complain, XCOM only ever cheats the RNG to help the player. This mod removes that cheating, so hit percentages are always what they're supposed to be.

COuld you add this mod to Nexus Mods

WTF, the game is cheating :( Then they could resign showing the ToHit % at all :(

Anyway, thx for the Info and the mod. I think i will use it in my second playthrough.

@tiger's eye sounds like just bad luck (or bad play, you didn't say how many times you were shot at, tbh you shouldn't even have been shot at 5 times in Gatecrasher). It's the same aim as legend and you can do flawless gatecrasher pretty easily on legend despite there being an extra pod as well.

Where was this in EU/EW? It's the first time I've seen it.

Huh. How did you even figure out these are there?

Good catch, Rabid. I posted a PSA on reddit and linked to your mod. Hope that's OK.

WHY THIS GAME CANNOT HAVE NORMAL RNG

Thanks fo pointing that out, started to feel like the luckiest b***ard on earth...

Great mod, makes the entire expereince feel far more genuine

Does it makes harder or easier?? Didn't understand

Quick question: Does anyone know if a miss or hit streak in this case, is a single miss/hit, or 2 misses/hits?

@mertius it looks like none are active on Legendary and the only one active on Commander you probably won't be affected by if you stick to making sure shots. I don't think I've missed more than once in a row on Commander, and that might be due to an accuracy boost if it starts at one miss.

Sindri I think it might be the other way around, especially say it says Minimum and not Maximum.

So 50%+ shots get aim assist, while <50% don't. I imagine this is to reduce frustration in missing shots that are 50% on higher difficulties, for people that expect them to hit. Nobody vents when they miss a 20% shot, as opposed to missing an 80% shot.

I wonder if it matters whether or not the shot that missed was above or below 50%.

Okay, so it looks lik the baseline aim assist values are:
1.2x displayed accuracy for all xcom shots on diff 0, 1.1x on 1, none higher
+10 xcom accuracy after a miss streak on diff 0 or 1, +15 on 2, 0 on 3
-10 alien accuracy after a hit streak on difficulty 0, none higher
+15 xcom accuracy with less than 4 soldiers on 0, +10 on 1, none on 2-3
-10 alien accuracy with less than 4 soldiers on 0-1, none on 2-3

but above that it says
ReasonableShotMinimumToEnableAimAssist=50
which would seem to imply that a shot with higher than 50% hit chance doesn't get any aim assist? So a displayed 65% is still a 65% on all difficulties, but like a 30% is actually 36% in easy mode, or 51% if you've lost men.

Wait, so are any of these bonuses active on Legendary?

First mission after enabling the mod (Gatecrasher): Five hits behind full cover, two of them marked, one of the non-marked was hunkered down. Was this just really bad luck or are these assits in the game because the enemy aim is just to damn high?

@PuerNoctis Thanks you.

I'd like to see an alternative to this mod that makes the aim assets visible ingame. Because it's clear why they added in these hidden play balance tweaks. It can be justified with stuff like 'characters are adjusting sights after consecutive misses' or 'characters are being more cautious after their squad has taken casualties.'

@Tiger: The Default.ini files are the ones that serve as a "template" with all the default values which will be copied to the users folder, which are these XCom.ini files. The latter are the ones that will be used by the game, so edit the XCom.ini.

Is there any difference between the XCom.ini files in documents and the Default.ini files in the game folder? And does it matter which ones I mod?

Wow, didn´t know that, thank you. wonder how hard I will get my butt kicked now on Commander dif.

@arkanium77: It is in your "C:\Users\<User>\Documents\My Games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config" folder. The one you posted is the folder where all the files with the default values are copied from.

What is XComGameCore.ini? Where is it?
...\Steam\steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XComGame\Config\ ? I haven't this file

You should mention, that people installing the mod will have a disadventage on "Commander" difficulty. The only thing that is different from "neutral" aim on that difficulty is the "Added aim for Xcom after consecutive misses", which gives a bonus of +15. Otherwise people may install it and think it gets easier on that difficulty whereas it actually gets harder.

@Wandering Broom Salesman I wasn't talking about the same action. If the system exists then it would make sense for what I'm saying to be that. Though, I was not doing the same actions. I was moving around and shooting with diffferent soldiers. I know what you are saying with the saves and maybe it's tied to that in some way.

I think i'll have a try, i just want the aliens to have exact same slate chance.

@Wandering Broom Salesman
Is there a way to diable this random see all together in Xcom 2?
"Save scumming Protection" is a wate in a game that allows console and has commands for invincibility, free movement, unlimited ammo and all resources + killing all ai to win...

I want a fair game, chances, numbers, everything being on the fly, i dont want my Future written each turn at all.
