Grimy’s Loot Mod WOTC

This is a port of GrimyBunyip’s "Grimy’s Loot Mod" for WOTC.

As Grimy is no longer modding for XCOM 2 and has given permission for others to use his assets as long as they give credit to him, that is what this is. Thanks, Grimy!

IMPORTANT NOTE:
–This mod adds a *disgusting* amount of weapon upgrades to the game. That is the end of this important note.

Known Issues:
Barrier doesn’t have a projectile for its animation
Sidearm holsters get attached to melee weapons pulled from loot boxes, but can’t be applied to them in the Armory (may apply to other secondary weapon upgrades as well)

Current Development Status
Minor bug fixes

———–

Lockboxes are opened with research.
Lockboxes contain items already filled with randomized upgrades.
Higher tier lockboxes won’t appear until later into the game.

96 new upgrades for primary weapons
81 new upgrades for armors
45 new upgrades for pistols
45 new upgrades for swords
87 new upgrades for gremlins
45 new upgrades for psi amps
45 new upgrades for grenade launchers
Controller support for the loot box item selection screen

Alien Rulers Expansion
PCS Expansion

———-

Supply/Intel rewards are not as relevant in the lategame. This mod helps offset that

Epic and Legendary Tier upgrades don’t drop until the mid and late game, but are intentionally very powerful. Legendary tier upgrades are around as powerful as colonel level perks.

———-

By overwhelming request, this mod is fully compatible with Loot Pinatas.

Known incompatibilities:
Configure Upgrade Slots- only one of the mods’ UIArmory_WeaponUpgrade classes will fire, so either you have your configured slot count or the number that this mod sets for individual items. Can’t have both.

Source Overrides:
X2Item_DefaultSchematics
UIArmory_WeaponUpgrade
UIArmory_LoadoutItemTooltip
UIBlackMarket_Sell

Drop table Overrides:
BlackMarketLoot_01, BlackMarketLoot_02, BlackMarketLoot_03
BasicWeaponUpgrades, AdvancedWeaponUpgrades, SuperiorWeaponUpgrades
ADVENTEarlyTimedLoot, ADVENTMidTimedLoot, ADVENTLateTimedLoot
EarlyAlienWeaponUpgrades, MidAlienWeaponUpgrades, LateAlienWeaponUpgrades

Example: UpgradeItemsForSchematic AssaultRifle_BM_Schematic

GrimyLootUpdateResearch
Use in case you can’t see your research

GrimyLootBuildLootStoreFromHistory
Adds Update 20 features to gear obtained from loot boxes before Update 20. Fixes the "Obtain Continent Bonus To Unlock" issue keeping you from accessing all of your gear attachments/upgrades.

———-

Q – Do I need to start a new campaign, or can I use it with my existing campaign?
A – It’s up to you. If you use it with your existing campaign, you’ll need to use the GrimyLootUpdateResearch console command after you pick up your first lockbox.

Q – How do I add weapons/armors from other mods to the lockbox drops?
A – Please give this link to the author of the other mod if that mod doesn’t already add their items to my loot mod automatically.
You can also edit the INI yourself to add new items to lockbox drops as well.

Q – How do I attach upgrades to sidearms and armor?
A – You will need all the required mods, listed in the required mods section

Q – How do I get randomized appearances for sidearms?
A – You need a highlander mod that supports it. I don’t know if WOTCCommunityHighlander supports it, as I do not use that mod. You can try it.

Q – I’m not getting any drops!
A – Try deleting your config folder:
DocumentsMy GamesXCOM2 War of the ChosenXComGameConfig

Q – I’m still not getting any drops!
A – You have another mod that is modifying the loot drop tables and is being loaded before this one. Delete your Config folder again and also uninstall any mods that modify the loot tables.

Q – Some of my weapons’ upgrades are locked. Something about ‘Obtain Continent Bonus To Unlock’?
A – Read the mod description. Oh, wait, this IS the mod description. Use the console command GrimyLootBuildLootStoreFromHistory

Q – How do I change drop rates and other settings?
A – You can find the relevant ini files in the following directory:
steamappsworkshopcontent2685001142377029

Q – Why are my swords showing +20/100 aim?
A – Not caused by this mod, probably caused by balanced ranger swords or something else in your load order.

Q – I’m getting so much more / so much less loot now, please fix!
A – This mod doesn’t alter drop rates of vanilla items. Either another mod is doing that or it’s just RNG.

Q – I can’t open my loot crates!
A – Use the GrimyLootUpdateResearch console command.
No it doesn’t disable your achievements.

Q – Your translations for the WotC items are terrible!
A – I only speak English and bad Spanish. If you would like to translate them better, I would love for you to do so. Also, if you play in languages other than the ones so far translated (Russian, Korean, French) I would love for you to do translations.

Q – I’m crashing at mission end!
A – Not anymore, you’re not! (Actually, if you still are, please tell me. Those should’ve been fixed completely.)

Q – I’m crashing somewhere else other than mission end!
A – Excellent! Or, rather, not so excellent. Please post details in the comment section, and I’ll reply when I’m able.
