I have not noticed it yet. Even though, it is still an absurd ability. Also, are you saying I have to go into aim modus for it to pop up ? Yeah that just adds to the atrocious design of that troll ability.
You donât have to. Just assume that every Arthron which is nearby will return fire and plan accordingly.
Yes I do that now. Does not change anything about that ability needing to go or severely reworked.
It doesnât need to be reworked though. Your soldiers also have the option to return fire, and Iâm sure itâs just as annoying to the Arthrons as it is to us. Itâs a tactical part of the fight that you need to work around. Itâs no different than characters being able to counter attack in other turn-based combat games. shrug
It actually is incredibly more annoying to us than the pandorans. First of all they have apparently infinite magazines, whereas we actually have ammo to worry about. Second they absolutely constantly take losses and it doesnât really affect them at all, whereas one dead unit for us can be backbreaking. That said, I find that most of the time when youâre about to fire the game accurately shows the icon showing which aliens will return fire. If they could eliminate instances of return fire not being shown, I would have no problems whatsoever with it.
They donât have infinite magazines.
I havenât noticed them reloading, but then again Itâs been a while since I let them shoot at me that much. Do you know what their magazine size is?
It has to, and it will. I find it astonishing that some ppl are defending this bullshit, but then again some ppl still follow (institutionalized) religious movements too 
Thereâs a lot that needs rebalancing in Phoenix Point, but generally I think the majority of whatâs happening here is people bitching because they find the difficulty too challenging.
Not EVERY aspect of the combat needs changing. Scroll the forums, count how many different mechanics people want nerfed. If the devs actually step in and nerf all of this stuff, youâre going to find yourself in candy land where everythingâs a breeze.
Iâm not defending all aspects of PP in its current state, but return fire isnât exactly one of the areas that is tilting the difficulty scale in one direction or another, especially when return fire is so easy to obtain for your own troops, as well as dash and rally the troops.
I have seen VERY few people complain about return fire, and if itâs this much of a nuisance to you, Iâd venture to say you are not approaching your combat as tactfully as you should be.
They do not reload. But I think their limit is 32 bullets.
Yeah man, this is what everyone was asking for⌠a mod that makes Rage Burst more effective. Hah!
