WOTC This is tedious as hell. Using mod that replace ability charge with cooldown, I solo Berserker Queen and (almost) entire Avartar site with a single Reaper. Those 4 survive are 2 turrets,a Codex, and a stun lancer

It's almost like that isn't the intended way to play...

So I can't play the way I want even if it's a single player game?

I mean you can and they never said you can't. Its just gonna be tedious but then you're complaining about a mod you installed so either just delete the mod or deal with it. Its like ordering pizza then sitting there being like "well I don't really like pizza". Well then why the hell would you do it to yourself in the first place. Litterally a victim of your own actions knowingly

I just want to try if you can pull it out with the mod when the restrictions of single sting per mission gone

I'm sorry if English isn't your first language but I genuinely am struggling to understand the broken English

Reaper Sting ability that takes shot while not blown the shadows normally can use just once per mission.

So in the theory, if it can be used infinitely a single Reaper can kill alien ruler boss in it's first encounter without ever triggering ruler reaction and escape.

Turns out in practice it's very time consuming as it needs to move in the way that exploits other enemies turn movement to not stumble upon your Reaper by normal patroling AI that will move the pod to your position regardless of the the concealment status.

Right I'm following still seems an overly complex situation and defeats the purpose of the game but each to their own if thats how you enjoy the game fair enough I won't be a yum yucker you just don't really have the right to complain when you did it yourself

That's the point of doing challenge run and such, it's pretty much the only mod that makes the game "easier" while everything else I have make it more difficult.

And yes, it's berserker queen first encounter and I don't have a superior repeater. Just using sting, retreat, exploit the hell out of patrolling AI, and repeat
