Pretty much. :P

The Resourcefulness skill is underrated. This allows you to obtain additional ammo each time you rest in a shelter. For the entire squad, it is a maximum of 4-5 ammo resources at the cost of 1 tool. It's a better alternative than 1 extra ammo at the start. This is a useful ability if you plan to re-land on the map itself, because the extra ammo from the crate will be lost when you return to the base.

@@WatchMysh you use a ton of ammo early on in Hard difficulty, the pulse rifles and smart guns burn sooo much ammo in the first two missions. and as the game gets harder, the aliens get more HP and you have to use more ammo to kill them. but late game, once you have heavy pulse rifles and plasma rifles, you kill much more efficiently and the ammo consumption goes way down, especially if you are using command point skills to defeat enemies without getting hunts. the last few missions i was walking past ammo crates because i already had 20+ in reserve as i would mow down aliens with little consumption, but that also goes with planning engagements and using sentry guns down to low double digit ammo counts before reloading them.

Iron Will is probably the best. No tired/Exhaustion debuff for any reason. Had a Rusty marine with the bad trait of coming from missions exhausted. Picked Iron Will, still have Rusty but the marine just ignores it and can do intensive training, multiple missions back to back, etc.

Accuracy is the best upgrade. (lets do simple math) Your medic has 35% ACC / and we assume every shot does 1 DMG So every 20 shots, 7 hit, 13 miss = 7 DMG now +5 ACC (40%) 8 hit, 12 miss = 8 DMG (some people be like that's not much.........) It's 14,3% !!! more DPS

actual base accuracy is 50 if not tired, if it still shows 35% - it's a visual bug (according to devs). Still best upgrade

1. Sharpshooter (+15 aim at lvl 3) 2. Quick Hands (50% faster reload) 3. Resourcefulness (+1 ammo per tool per marine when resting) 4. Dead eye (+38% crit chance and dissmemberment at lvl 3) 5. Fast (3 levels) My 5 picks are primarily to assist with the fight before assisting with stress or trauma. Nice to have - 1 marine with smartass and 4 with team spirit. - Redempton - unbreakable will - mind of steel This adds to 15 which is the maxium on new game + Its very hard to roll only these perks on any 1 marine.

The sergeants radio backpack gives you an additional command point without having 2 marines with the team spirit perk.

TIPS FROM SOMEONE WHO ACCOMPLISH HARD CAMPIGN. All these tips are good. Additionally . Get critical too with Dismember . On lvl 10 i had full TEAM crit. They criting like hell. Destroy as hell. Armor is meh. If you fucked up, you fucked up. Doesn’t matter, do you have 4 hp and 2 armor or 5 hp and 3 armor, you will go down. Maybe 1 more attack longer, one acid spit more but you will be punished for bad positioning. Not to mention insta deaths like queen. But damage! The only way to survive is kill them before they kill you. And best tip. - get tech, and scout map with drone. Imagine that you scout map and knows where to go, where are eggs to avoid, where ti get supplies. No facechecks with opening room door. Where find these stupid data pads for achievement. I unfortunately choose tech as my 5th. I thought medic will be better, but he is meh. Stealth kills, droning around, dropping everywhere in choke points radar to taunt on one side and you move on right is key to win nightmare. Play safe, hide, sneak, delay aggression. Don’t get caught stupidly. Kill when u must, you don’t get xp from kills, only xeno resource for upgrades. But you will farm enough from Bosses and defend part of map. Play safe and slowly, trust me, you will be proud of yourself. And also bonus tip: if you get caught and you alarmed xenos from one place and you can’t run away, activate nearby taunting device. They will instantly forget about you and go for radar so. Stupid but is working. And get rpg launcher to destroy these fucking queens asap . They are tanks asf

Dismember and redemption are the best skills/perks imo. Anyway, to get the skills you want or to avoid some lame ones, if you have marines that leveled up, use REST feature (weld a door) or an elevator before you evacuate to ARC. A save will be made to be reloaded multiple times until your promoted marine will get the skills you want. Those 3 to pick from are randomly chosen every time. I just did this for the gunner, 5-6 times until he got "dead eye 3" , so the dude is a monster, i kinda feel bad for poor aliens rushing towards him

@@MistaFiOth Playing on nightmare, detection is a bit faster, must be in a good position to kill the target before it detects (i have the pheromones upgrade). If you know the game (finished on nightmare) and you are careful not to screw up, is quite easy. Dismember power, extract early, play safe and kill silently. To be honest, the game mechanics forces you play safe, is a bit unusual that regular kills don't award XP. Still bugs after update, but they will be eventually fixed after a few updates. I hope they will release sequels and dlcs, with more campaigns, scenarios cause even if game is awesome, there is not much fun replay it more than once (on highest difficulty). And I thought medic ability (30% healing) it will come in handy on max difficulty, is just not. Medic is only useful when you play the game the first time and you screw up a lot. For experienced player, medic class is totally useless. I prefer an extra sniper to kill patrols of two (xenos or cultists) instantly.

@@angellotomic struggling with the mechanics?

i would say pouches is first on two marines and ammo bags is important to have on at least two marines every time after. get two marines with pouches and then two with ammo bags so you start with 6 capacity tools and 6 ammo. after that you need the suppressive fire upgrade and then can go for more utility with things like accuracy and stuff. i would also say to never pick up ammo crates after you get 10 ammo in reserve to save it for later if needed, unless its in a area you wont be going back to for certain. also i would say at least one person, two is better, in every deployment should have resourceful for the free ammo with rests. more than two per team isnt really needed as better weapons will use less ammo later on and you really only need a little help keeping ammo up so you are not clearing the map of all of it and the upgrades are better for other things. on missions i had 3 marines with resourceful, on hard, i was evacuating with 15-30 ammo and leaving ammo crates everywhere. once you get the heavy weapons and enough command points to spam free kills without using ammo, your ammo consumption really drops using mines and snipes and a bit of patience.

I think it’s better to wait till your Marine is lvl 3 before you start buying them perks. Top priority should be getting a medic and second a tecker and start giving them class-only perks. Having a medic that can heal wounds, revive a squaddie, and reduce stress will make missions so much smoother and having a lvl’ed up Tecker will allow you to open doors to create shortcuts or supply rooms thus eliminating the need for extra pouches or ammo. Once you have those two classes I do recommend giving your other marines the perks you listed.
