[WOTC] Superior Explosives

This mod is my personal version of [WoTC]Tier III Grenades. It adds additional tiers to all base game grenades (for the Frost Bomb, see the companion mods section).

It started as a simple project to fix a few issues with the original mod, but over time, I ended up recreating that mod completely and adding new features and tweaks.

Here are the main changes from the original mod:

• New yellow chevron icon for tier 3 grenades to be more consistent with TLE
• Added tier 2 & tier 3 versions of Proximity Mine and Flashbang Grenade
• Fixed an issue with tier 3 Smoke Grenade that prevented it from being carried alongside other grenades
• All Flashbang Grenades are now considered utility items like the Smoke Grenades, meaning they can be carried alongside other grenades

Here is the nomenclature I used for all grenades:

• Tier 1 = Grenade
• Tier 2 = Bomb
• Tier 3 = Warhead

Superior Explosives Project

• Proving Ground project to unlock tier 3 grenades
• Researchable after Advanced Explosives and Andromedon Autopsy have been completed

Proximity Mines

• Proximity Mine is now obtainable much earlier in the game, after completing Advent Turret Autopsy
• As a result, tier 1 Proximity Mine has been nerfed to the ground (less dmg, radius, shred)
• However, it can now be used as an effective tool to setup ambushes in the early game
• Tier 2 and tier 3 are unlocked with the corresponding Proving Ground projects, increasing their radius, their damage and their shredding capabilities
• Tier 1 and tier 2 are weaker than the vanilla Proximity Mine while tier 3 is slightly stronger

Flashbang Grenades

• All Flashbang Grenades can now be carried alongisde other grenades
• Tier 2 and tier 3 are unlocked with the corresponding Proving Ground projects, increasing their radius

Other Grenades

• All other grenades will also be upgraded to tier 3 after researching Superior Explosives
• Tier 3 grenades have increased radius, dmg and shredding capabilities

This mod should be compatible with pretty much everything and can be added mid campaign.

Of course, don’t use it with [WoTC]Tier III Grenades.

I recommend the following mods:

• [WOTC] Frost Munitions if you want a tier 3 Frost Bomb
• [WOTC] Grenade Launchers Tweaks adds my personal tweaks to all grenade launchers (created with this mod in mind)
• [WOTC] Proving Ground Overhaul if you want to unlock the Experimental Grenades in the Engineering Bay
• Beam Grenade Launcher if you want a tier 3 grenade launcher to go with your tier 3 grenades
• [WOTC] Incendiary Grenade Damage Fix +
• [WOTC] Plasma Grenade Icon Fix

The configuration files should be in the following location:

You can tweak the stats of all new grenades.

• Create a custom image for Superior Explosives project
• Rework the localization of all new grenades

If you encounter any bug, please post it here.

I’d like to thank Farkyrie for creating the original mod and granting me permission to publish this version.
