Need help with a Sniper upgrade choice in Long War mod


Stravask

Recommended Posts

So I'm about to level a sniper in Long War, and I've got the option for Executioner or Headshot.

Headshot's always a great skill, especially considering you can't crit through squadsight otherwise, but i'm having severe difficulty ignoring the potential +10 aim bonus (especially since I took Damn Good Ground) and +5 just outright, plus that +10 to crit chance, even if it is only on enemies below 50%.

I'm sitting at 86 Aim and 48 Will, and Executioner also gives a bonus 2 will and 1 mobility. I know I definitely want this unit to have psionic abilities so more Will is always wanted, but I'm just not sure whether I can pass up Headshot for essentially just raw stats.

Does anyone have an opinion on this they'd be willing to share? Could really use a bit of a "tie-breaker" of sorts.

Go headshot. I don't really love executioner. A bonus on low health people isn't often that useful especially for snipers, given they often already have the highest hit chance on the team, and crits for squadsight is better than +10 crit chance on low health enemies, that will probably die anyways to the shot.

 

But it really is related to your play style. Executioner is security, which means more in LW, while Headshot is greater power and risk.

 

But you posted in the wrong forums. It should be in the Long War Strategy thread under File Discussions.
