Officers are a new mechanic in Long War, replacing the medal system from Enemy Within. It constitutes a new upgrade path for soldiers, granting abilities that benefit the entire squad.
To begin promoting officers, an Officer Training School is required, which becomes available for construction after a soldier reaches the rank of corporal. Once it is built, officer upgrades can be purchased in the OTS menu to make billets available.
Any soldier that has the rank of at least Corporal, isn't a MEC Trooper or a Psionic and has participated in at least 5 missions can be promoted to Lieutenant as long as there is an open billet left. After that, further promotions, in addition to another OTS upgrade, require that:
- The officer must have been on at least 5 missions (3 by default with the Dynamic War second wave option) at his current officer rank.
- The officer must have gained a certain minimum standard rank – for example, Sergeant or higher is required for a promotion to Captain.
- The officer with higher will stat will be commanding a mission if several officers of the same rank are on the squad.
Officer ranks
- All officers are granted Lead by Example and Command for free. Each officer level grants one Command ability charge; thus Lieutenants have one charge, Captains have two, and so on.
- Each promotion presents a choice between one of two rank-specific Officer perks. This selection is permanent (and cumulative), but a different perk can be chosen for every officer.
- Only the perks of the commanding (highest-ranked) officer are beneficial to the entire squad. Officer perks of a second, lower-ranking officer present on a mission benefit only that officer.
- Officers recover slower from post-battle fatigue. The additional time is 12 hours per officer rank (6 hours with Gift of Osiris - Egypt's starting bonus).
Officer Rank | Minimum Level Requirement | Officer Ability | |
---|---|---|---|
(All Officers get both of these abilities) | Lead by Example This officer substitutes his or her Will for that of all lower-Will squadmates within an 8 tile radius.
|
Command
Grant a yellow move to an XCOM soldier in sight ranger whose turn is complete. Cannot be used on soldiers on Overwatch, who have Steadied their weapon, who have Hunkered Down, or used One For All. Does not allow use of multi-action perks like Close Encounters or Hit and Run. Four-turn cooldown. Note that this will NOT allow you to fire move-limited weapons (sniper rifles and LMGs), if you have taken a costly action (e.g. if you double-moved and then were commanded). The only exception to that is, after using double-tap, a unit can be commanded to fire once more, effectively triple-tapping.
