Advanced Warfare Center (LW2)

The Advanced Warefare Center, AWC, continues to provide the ability for soldiers to acquire perks from other classes but the process is highly changed in Long War 2. Every soldier now has an AWC skills tree, which will feature 3 offensive, 3 defensive, and 7 pistol perks. The pistol perks are always the same 7 though their order of unlock is random, the three offensive and defensive skills are a random subset from other classes. Soldiers may train all 13 perks with enough time and must train in a pod at the AWC, they will not be awarded perks by ranking up.

The AWC is also used as the infirmary and can be staffed with a scientist to speed up healing.
