Description:

“We’ve been contact by some kid saying he wants to join. I think he has been watching to many films and playing to many computer games. Seems to have taught himself how to recklessly swing a sword. What will interest you is what he has done with those arc throwers from the initial invasion. He’s made it much more potent” Jane Kelly

Electroraider’s are a support class with little to no official combat training. They are very good with electronics allowing them to have a good hacking score without a gremlin for hacking consoles. They have used this knowledge to greatly improve the combat capabilities of the arcthrower making it a versatile tool. To back this up they also carries a sword that is used wildly meaning good damage but little finesse. I think they must have learnt how to use it watching Samurai films or maybe Lord of The Rings. Due to the tactical knowledge (or lack of) they can be difficult to operate and lack certain defensive type skills.

Irregular classes are class that don’t fit normal military combat but more an idea, ethos, or personality. Due to this they are rarely received by promotion and cannot be trained in the GTS. They can be recruited through a covert infiltration mission chain, and you can only spawn if you have less than 2.
If you don’t worry you can still use it, just go to the XComClassData.ini file in the workshop folder and change NumInForcedDeck=0 to NumInForcedDeck=1 to guarantee 1 to be promoted and make them available in the GTS or NumInDeck=2 to NumInDeck= 4 to get normally levels of promotions.
