You'll usually see him start moving afterward, fortunately, but you won't necessarily see his destination before the fog rolls in, so you will still often end up with more uncertainty about his actual position when this happens.Ī related point is that triggering Planewalker, should the Hunter happen to have it, does not affect an ongoing Tracking Shot zone. (And almost certainly a glitch or oversight) It's something to beware of, though, since Tracking Shot reveals his location but regular movement does not, so you might think you know where he is and then whoops stumble into him because he's somewhere else. Similarly, I've also occasionally had the Hunter initiate Tracking Shot and then move afterward, though this is rarer. Still, it's mostly accurate, and on most maps the distinction isn't even that important. Every once in a while I've had him initiate it through a solid wall, even. Maybe the Assassin was supposed to throw that secondary blade, an icon got made for it, and then they shuffled it off onto Tracking Shot? Or something?Īnyway, I say Tracking Shot needs a clear line of fire, but I've had several occasions where the Hunter initiated Tracking Shot under conditions a Sharpshooter couldn't possibly have gotten line of fire. No, I don't know why Tracking Shot's icon is depicting a knife in transit. Briefly reveals the Hunter when initially activated. The Hunter does not require an ADVENT/Alien unit act as a spotter to be able to initiate this effect. This shot creates a cone centered on the target soldier, with an essentially infinite maximum distance (200 tiles) and a maximum width of 40 tiles, and if the soldier is still within that zone when the Hunter's next turn rolls around he will immediately shoot them as a free action. If the Hunter is not within sight of an X-COM soldier but has a clear line of fire on one, he can initiate Tracking Shot on them. He is admittedly a bit more dependent on his Aim stat than she is, so not being able to Flashbang him is a bit inconvenient? Not a lot to add here it's not like the Hunter has any mechanics to give this implications he doesn't share with the Assassin.
