MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, allowing them to fulfill different types of roles. In addition, MEC troopers can equip more than one secondary weapon, the exact amount depending on the Exoskeleton that they are wearing. Be advised that unlike vanilla in Long War you have to build the systems yourself and they do cost a lot of meld.

MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.

Pistol

The contents of this article are outdated, missing key info, confusing or constructed in a discussion format. Possibly due to EXALT sabotage. Please help fight the alien menace by updating or correcting the information on this page.

In General

Long War Rebalance makes a number of changes to weapons from Long War, some concepts are still similar in LWR compared to Long War:

  • There are five tiers of weapons: Conventional/Ballistic, Beam Laser, Gauss, Pulse Laser, Plasma
  • Explosives do not deal fixed damage: their damage reduces the further a target is from the center of the blast down to 50% at the periphery.

Some notable changes to weapons in Long War Rebalance, compared to Long War, are:

  • Most weapons can only be Steadied if there is an enemy within the line of sight of the unit attempting to steady their weapon
  • Soldiers who end their turn with free action points remaining will gain +10 aim and +5 def for their next turn
  • Rookies cannot use pistols
  • Weapons are more accurate at close range
  • Overwatch fire occurs sequentially, akin to XCOM 2, and will only activate against units that the unit could see when they went on overwatch
  • Arc Thrower is redesigned as the Stun Rifle; it has a higher stun rate but takes a primary weapon slot and a small item slot

Overall, there are a significant number of minor and major changes to weapons and support items in Long War Rebalance.

Weapon Tiers

Conventional/Ballistic

These are the basic weapons you start with - they are relativity unchanged in Long War Rebalance. You will want to upgrade to superior guns in the long run. Ballistic weapons use the same models as EXALT ballistic weapons in vanilla. 

Base Damage: 4

Electric

There are only 2 electric weapons: the arc rifle and the stun rifle. While most campaigns will likely build some of both, the stun rifle is mandatory to pass the game. 

Base Damage: 4

Beam Lasers

Early beam lasers form the second tier of weapons, and all carry a small inherent accuracy bonus, which can make them good 'training' weapons for inexperienced troopers. Compared to Long War, Beam Lasers have been overall buffed, retaining increased accuracy but also increased crit chances, higher crit damage and a small boost to mobility. However, Beam Lasers no longer gain a damage boost over Ballistic weapons, and will deal the same average damage. Beam lasers use the same visuals as EXALT laser weapons in vanilla. 

Base Damage: 4
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility

Gauss

Gauss weapons return to ballistic projectiles but elerium power sources make man-portable magnetic accelerators practical; combined with alloy-based projectiles, it's a recipe for pretty formidable personal weaponry.

Gauss weapons have lost their bonus ammo capacity and their ability to ignore enemy DR. Gauss weapons are essentially just a damage upgrade over Ballistic and Beam weapons, however the 'Quenchgun' foundry project will grant all Gauss weapons a +1 damage penetration bonus against all mechanical units, which helps make Gauss weapons more effective against mechanical leaders or bosses.

Furthermore, the Gauss Long Rifle and Alloy Strike Rifle have been renamed to the Anti-Materiel Long Rifle and Anti-Materiel Strike Rifle, and have reverted to function identically as normal snipers. Gauss weapons use the original XCOM ballistic weapon models. 

Base Damage: 6

Pulse Lasers

Refining and enhancing laser technology allows for the development of pulse laser weaponry, another step up in terms of firepower. Pulse lasers are simply a refinement on Beam lasers, dealing more damage as a bonus. They use the same visuals as XCOM-built laser weaponry from vanilla. 

Base Damage: 6
Bonus Stats: +5 aim, +10 crit, +25% crit damage, +0.6 mobility

Plasma

Plasma weapons remain the most powerful weapons avaliable to XCOM, and have had their unique bonuses increased. However, Plasma weapons now have a significant meld cost and require UFO power sources in their construction, they also take longer to research. However, you no longer need to capture Aliens and recover their weapons in order to manufacture Plasma weapons. 

Base Damage: 8

Weapon-Specific Bonuses:

  • Plasma Carbine: +10 defense
  • Plasma Rifle: +3 damage against biological units
  • Plasma Battle Rifle: +5 damage against targets in cover
  • Reflex Cannon (Shotgun): +2 damage against targets within 4 tiles
  • Plasma Strike Rifle: +3 damage against uncovered targets
  • Plasma Sniper Rifle: +2 damage against targets at Squadsight range
  • Plasma Novagun (SAW): +2 penetration
  • Plasma Dragon (LMG): +2 damage against flying targets
  • MEC Particle Beam (MEC): +4 damage against mechanical units
  • Plasma Autocannon (SHIV): +15 aim, +15 crit

Weapon Types

Several types of weapons occur at each technology level. The weapon types are, in descending order of base damage:

Weapon Base Damage
SHIV and MEC Weapons 200%
LMGs 175%
SAWs, Sniper Rifles, and Shotguns 150%
Battle Rifles 125%
Assault Rifles and Strike Rifles 100%
Pistols, Machine Pistols, Carbines, and SMGs 75%

Primary Weapons

Long War broadens the amount of weapons available, both by increasing the number of weapon tiers, and increasing the number of weapons that are available in each tier. While there are weapons that are only available to one or a few classes, each class has several weapons to choose from.

SMGs

SMGs (Submachine Guns) are the lightest available weapon types, with a focus on flanking and scoring critical hits. They grant a +0.6 mobility bonus, have high base crit chances, and grant Killer Instinct (+25% crit damage). Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 75%.

Carbines

Carbines are lighter versions of Assault Rifles, though not as light as SMGs. They grant +0.6 mobility and +10 aim, and have moderate base crit chances. Their base ammo is 3 (increased by Ammo Conservation), and their base damage is 75%.

Arc and Stun Rifles

The Arc Rifle is a powerful anti-mechanical weapon, which gives Squadsight, bonus critical damage, and bonus damage against mechanical units. The Stun Rifle replaces the Arc Thrower and is a primary weapon used to make alien captures. Stun chances have been increased significantly from base Long War; an alien with 1/2/3 health has 90/80/70% chances respectively, as in vanilla. The Improved Arc Thrower foundry project improves this further.

Sniper Rifles

Sniper Rifles are similar to the vanilla Sniper Rifles, and are only available to Snipers. Regular and overwatch shots operate at squadsight ranges, and have lower squadsight penalties (1 aim and crit per tile instead of 4). Sniper Rifles require 2AP to fire, and cannot be used after moving or performing any other costly action. The Snapshot perk has been changed and no longer removes this restriction. Sniper Rifles have +2 penetration. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 150%.

MEC Weapons

MEC primary weapons, unsurprisingly, are only available to MEC Troopers. They don't have much crit chance, but deal maximum damage tied with SHIV weapons. They can target beyond visual range if the MEC Trooper has Squadsight. Their base ammo is 3, and their base damage is 200%.

SHIV Weapons

SHIV weapons, obviously, are only available to SHIV units. They deal maximum damage tied with MEC weapons, but suffer from low ammo capacity. They can be quite heavily customised by adding different modules to the SHIV loadout. Their base ammo capacity is 2, and their base damage is 200%.

Secondary Weapons

Unlike Long War 1.0, LWR contains a normal pistol for each weapon tier, and a machine pistol for ballistic, beam, and plasma only.

Note that rookies, gunners, and SHIVs cannot equip secondary weapons. Rocketeers and MECs each receive their own exclusive sets of secondary weapons.

Pistols

Pistols are the default sidearm and cost no weight/mobility. They incur large aim penalties when fired at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 2 and their base damage is 75%.

Machine Pistols

Machine Pistols trade increased ammo and crit chance for a mobility penalty. Like regular Pistols, they incur large aim penalties when firing at longer range, though the Ranger perk negates this entirely. Their base ammo is 3 and their base damage is 75%.

There are no Machine Pistol equivalents for the Gauss and Pulse Laser weapon tiers.

Sawed-off Shotgun

The Sawed-off Shotgun is unique to the Ballistic tier, and provides an extremely short-range, high-damage sidearm; it is useful for soldiers wielding a primary weapon that gets aim penalties at close ranges.

Rocket Launchers

As in Long War 1.0, rockets will scatter randomly around the aiming point according to a normal distribution. The tile value shown means there is a 68% chance that the rocket will land within that many tiles of the aiming point. Unlike Long War 1.0, soldier aim does *not* affect rocket scatter.

Additionally, shredder rockets were replaced with Javelin Rockets; these have 1/5th the normal radius, but 70% reduced scatter, double damage, and shreds targets. They are blocked by cover. It is also worth noting that Extra Rocket and Javelin Rocket items both weigh less and provide 2 rockets each.

MEC secondary weapons

MEC troopers have a variety of options for their secondary weapons, which like in Long War 1.0 are built separately and equipped on the loadout screen, rather than being integrated into a MEC suit.
