What are we talking about, Some guy mentioned long war and then some inaccurate BS about carbines being worthless. TL DR Damage > Accuracy late game Uh so what should I buy then, titan or archangel? and toxic is poison? Rapid fire with a plasma rifle at close range is my go to method, unless I can blow up their heavy cover. You really shouldn't be taking pot shots at heavy troops anyways, the best way to deal with them seems counter-intuitive, but it's to close in with them. If there's more than one, prepare to be naded to hell. If that heavy muton isn't dead, you're in for a bad time. That makes LPRs virtually useless, especially against robots.Įven if you hit, the alien takes like 9 damage, max (assuming you hit and get a lucky crit) per gun. In fact, late game about 80 to 90% of LPR hits gets DR. DR on aliens eventually makes carbines unusable. You are taking a LOT more shots with the LPR than with the PR. How likely are you to take a 40% shot? Would you take it if it were 50%? Do the math for aliens in half cover, full cover.

The extra hit chance is better than its 'absolute' +10, as you are likely to take more shots, and hit more. Originally posted by Warmonger:LPR is better in Vanilla.
