All weapons take some stat(or combinations) and then multiply it by the weapons accuracy %. The pedia page displays the weapon accuracy for each attack mode at the top and the stat formula at the bottom.

So in the case of the Ax, you get 90% of your melee stat as your final accuracy in the field. Your using a gal with 39 melee so (39x0.9=35).

[doctor medic]

you can also train gals by using weapons that wont damage or do very little damage to enemies so your stat gain can go up as long you have patience or bullets,usualy best to do that on a tough opponent that was knocked down and then brought back up without any guns or with a weak weapon like a shank.

@legion + doctor: thank you for your good advices.

What about Gauss?
I got all Gauss Weapons, got the research, but can`t equip. What is missing?

The Unlocking Gauss Weapons technology which comes around the middle of the tech tree. So a fair bit farther down than you are.

Remember to use the tech tree viewer (button Q in Geoscape) to check what's missing.

[doctor medic]

actualy you should just explore the tech tree in the research screen by middle clicking research topics and going down the tech tree viewer until you find the tech you are looking for

Or use my research tree viewer ( https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,5947.msg91520.html ) for a nice graphical representation. :p
I should probably continue working on that. >_>

One thing, that I seem to have forgotten:
Where do I get the durathread mesh from?
I need this for some armour.

[GENVOKE]

Think you can unlock it through Prizes in the manufacturing. You can also rob captives for a piece or two.

Where do I get the durathread mesh from?

Durathread can be gotten from killing/robbing most Guild personnel. It can be manufactured with the Durathread Printing (requires a Printer to be present) technology from Plastasteel and Chemicals. It can also be bought after manufacturing the corresponding (Mutant Alliance) prize.

My research-progress has come to a stand still.

Any idea, how I can go on?

One more thing: How am I supposed to get passed that launchers? And don`t tell me mellee
It feels ridiculous, how the enemy bombards almost whole of the map away.

[wolfreal]

you need to start interrogating lots of people ASAP. That is going to open lots of opportunities soon.

About the battlescape... let me see.

[LouisdeFuines]

I had to savescumm about 50 times to get past the nuke throwing soldier.

What strategy is there about those?

What enemy should I capture best next to make progress?

[wolfreal]

Well.... this was funny. Those mortar are a serious thread. I win because they reaction fire me, and kill themselves in the way. I just tried to be stealth enough to be near then (I was trying to ax some guys in power armors). Nut quickly all became hell. Lots of reaction fire, lots of death people... At least the loot is good, maybe you can research some..

BTW, you can take down power armor guys with the laser, if you hit them by behind and have luck.

About enemies... interrogated everything, pretty soon something will open.

[doctor medic]

The interogation pool is really big so it will take a while until you reach some critical research,you could narrow it down by interogating specific enemies like engineers and medics

[LouisdeFuines]

@Doctor:
Ok, I will try it out. Do the medics and engineers look different from other enemies of the same kind?


What about the nuke launcher. What strategy philosophy is behind it?
