Equipment (Long War)

This page may be outdated. It is up-to-date for version b14. The latest version is 1.0.

In Long War all soldiers have 2 item slots from the start of the game. Each carried item has weight, and reduces the soldier's mobility by 1 per weight (a soldier's base mobility figure is displayed with 2 weight carried, so carrying nothing gives +2 on the soldier screen). An item slot can be cleared with the "empty hand" button in the item slot. Items with increased charges from perks such as Packmaster do not have increased weight. Note that many items listed require Foundry projects to unlock, and others are replicated by class perks (e.g. Battle Scanner). The special perk-granted versions of these items have a yellow icon in the action bar (as opposed to blue) and in some cases can be used as the first action of a turn without ending the turn (e.g. a Support may throw a Smoke Grenade and then perform another action).
