Allies Unknown Redux: Buildable HK Droids
The meatbag-insulting droids from a galaxy far, far away can now be utilized and constructed by XCOM for their guerilla operations.
Unlike most AU mods, HK Units do not have the option to be recruited through the Avenger, instead to replace that, they can be built in the Proving Grounds after researching the Mechanical Assassins tech, unlocked after you have researched/unlocked SPARKs or instantly if you do not have Shen’s Last Gift installed. They may also sometimes appear as reward units.
Mechanized Assasins costs 75 supplies. Build HK Unit costs 100 supplies, 20 alloys, 10 elerium, and 2 elerium cores.
HK Units have access to Assassination Protocol, a Mark-like skill with one charge by default (and lasts for your turn) that will let you do half HP damage to a normal target, or get bonus damage if you’re fighting a ruler or an enemy below 50% HP.
However, unlike a Mark, Assassination Protocol requires 3 stacks of Information Gathering to be used, which are gained whenever a HK Unit attacks a hostile target with either regular gunfire, or a hostile ability like Combat Protocol.
In addition to their robotic immunities, HK Units also work on EU/EW armour rules since they don’t suffer meatbag impairments like blunt force trauma incurred from their armour taking hits and have superior designs to humanity’s native robots: as long as their base HP pool isn’t damaged, they can be put back in the fight right. They are also, of course, immune to Tiredness.
In terms of stat variations, they are identical to humans except in Aim, Crit Chance, and Armour
