Description:

The "Commanders Vest (Suicide bombing)" Xcom 2 mod remade for WOTC. This is completely standalone, the required items are merely suggestions. Functionality builds on the original mod, with the following additions:

  • Path targeting – start off ambushes by running into a crowd and detonating before they react. Replaces the old mod’s grenade self-targeting.
  • Infinite vests – you can equip as many vests as you want for free, or you can spend resources to build each vest. With several ini configuration options, the choice is yours.
  • Upgradeable vests – after completing Advanced Grenades in the Proving Ground, the Commander’s Vest will be even deadlier.
  • Dead man’s switch activation – it’s like Hellweave, but better. Toggleable in the ini.
  • Explosion animation – explode in style.
  • Grenadier fixes – fixed weird interactions with Grenadier abilities that resulted from the vest technically being a grenade. Blast Padding and Fortress still work though.
  • Armor shredding – for consistency with the base game’s explosives. Like most of the weapon stats, this can be configured in the ini.
  • Better grammar – now with apostrophes.
