More intel-gathering items for the battlescape
Quizer:
Vision range only? Wow, that's kinda lame, considering the amount of TUs you spend activating them.
What do you mean, sniper shots through wall? Can you actually shoot through walls?

speaking of which, afaik the TU cost of using them isn't shown - it should be.

sniper rifles and magnetic weapons can shoot through walls
Sarin:
IR goggles are actually most used piece of equipment in my inventory. Especially on some maps, like any bigger UFO, solar power plant, pipe construction, and such I have a team going inside and few people moving in parallel with them on the outside, scanning ahead using IR goggles.
Wolls:
I'll use IR goggles to gopher hunt (there is an advantage with through wall tech = Sniper Rifle 1, EM Rifle or Bolter 2, Coil Gun 3) like the one map where the aliens are all 1 level down in tunnels, I'll IR to find then snap shot (1 or 2 squares off there is no reason for aimed shot) kill. That or on base defenses, where I use IR to acquire, then shoot UP (base is made of tinfoil?).

You can do all that? I'll have to give that a try. I didn't think you could see through UFO walls (didn't think they'd classify as 'thin walls'), or through the floor / ceiling. Going into those harvesters getting the last alien always pisses me off.
Is that the Sewerage Construction Site map you are talking about? Yeah, that one is pretty nasty once enemies stop using plasma pistols as their main armaments.So you can shoot through the ground there, too? And see through it if the enemy is within your vision range but on a different floor?
