Thanks @RustyDios!

The season is using "Plot Gated Chosen".. which means you need to progress the main story to either Killed an Avatar, or PsiGate mission complete for the Chosen Strongholds.

I cant get the Choosen last mission to spawn or to get the covert missions to access it. I have picked up "Hunters information" in a mission, but in debref it only says "intel"

Lost targeting is not touched in the tweaks mod, nor does the S9 list have Fair Lost Targeting. You will need to handle changes to Lost targeting yourself.
Sir Alexx 20 Oct @ 5:05am 
How is Lost targeting treated? I hate the 70/30 default setting and I usually get the 50/50 mod, is it compatible ? Thank you for the work on this tweaks :steamthumbsup:

I'm playing legendary and rolled chosen assassin on my first haven retaliation and she has 42 hp. Looked up ChristopherOdd and he also got assassin but 28 hp. Did I just get boned by RNG or was there a change made after episode 4.

Controller update/FYI: simple "fix", just had to "disable steam input" under the controller section.
x8ball3rx 27 Sep @ 8:23pm 
Hello, was there a tweak that doesn't allow you to use a controller? The "input device" window stays grayed out. If its another a mod, do you know what it is?

as i can' edit previous comment, ill update this one. it's happening no matter the enemies. just tried to play different mission. start of mission was fine all good. the moment i've encounter 2nd group and chosen spawned, all enemies got 100% hit shots again. no clue what to do.

Hi. Only extra mods i added is 5 tier weapons and fair lost targeting, I've done some test. Seems like a bug occurs only when enemy side has Advent sniper. If he's in the pod then all enemies (not just sniper) have 100% to hit. I do have dark event called "Advanced Combat Training", i know it's giving aim bonus, but 68% hit chance, against target in full cover and hunker down can't be correct. Plus previous mission was working fine with same dark event active.
