That makes it much more difficult to push through entrenched enemies because you have to either bring up some heavier weaponry (such as a Grenadier with an anti-cover upgrade) to blast them out or flank them. Most standard-issue grenades will only damage the enemy hiding behind the object, so they’re still good for bombarding a position, but nowhere near as effective at quickly ending a fight.
You can no longer depend on grenades to destroy cover.The biggest shock to the system in moment-to-moment combat – on top of the much greater variety of Advent troop variants and their heavier weaponry – is no longer being able to depend on regular grenades to destroy enemy cover. In the full Long War 2 preview version, though, the changes to the fundamental game balance are far more extensive. New soldier classes, abilities, enemies, weapons, gear, and more made some drastic changes to the way battles played out. Especially if you haven’t tried out any of the existing mods, the list of new features in Long War 2 is lengthy.
