Description:

This mod adds a brand new primary Amalgamation specialization built around dual-wielding pistols, with some action movie-style abilities sprinkled in throughout.

With access to dual pistols from the get-go, the Pistoleer excels at bringing the pain, provided both shots hit their mark. This double-hit mechanic is at its strongest against unprotected foes, but armor or other forms of damage reduction may prove tougher to crack.

The spec’s skill tree generally focuses on utility over increasing damage further, though a fully-grown Pistoleer should not be underestimated. A lot of skills interact in ways that may not be immediately obvious, often dealing additional damage or even applying twice outright.

Dual-wielding is a bit of a weird system, and not all abilities work well with it. Some abilities may be a bit off on their damage previews, or will only use one pistol. I’ve tried to catch the worst combinations out with spec exclusions, but expect this to be a moving target going forward.

If you can manage to offset the lowered accuracy, the Pistoleer is quite strong indeed! Expect the spec to land a bit above baseline.

If you’re looking for some fun weapons to use alongside this spec, I’d recommend checking out my Mass Effect Weapon Overhaul! It’s what I did all my testing with, and the many custom pistols made for some really fun combinations.

• h4ilst0rm and TePª for the original Amalgamation Classes mod.
• Ketaros, for the excellent sprite pack from which this spec grabs its icon.
• Everybody responsible for the Dual Wielded Pistols mod, which is just a ton of fun.
• All the perk pack people. Wouldn’t be able to do this without them.
