Pistols Rebalanced
Inspired by discussions on whether Gunslinger Sharpshooters were viable in XCOM 2, here’s a mod that aims (pun intended) to make pistols and Templar sidearms more compelling/viable weapons.
Now with two possible rebalances:
-Jose’s rebalance (new default values):
-Conventional tier pistols/sidearms: 3 damage, 2 crit
-Magnetic tier pistols/sidearms: 5 damage, 2 crit
-Plasma tier pistols/sidearms: 7 damage, 3 crit
-Chosen Darkclaw: 7-8 damage, 3 crit
-Original rebalance (commented out in mod’s XComGameData_WeaponData file):
-Conventional tier pistols/sidearms: 2-4 damage, 1 crit
-Magnetic tier pistols/sidearms: 4-6 damage, 1 crit
-Plasma tier pistols/sidearms: 6-8 damage, 2 crit
-Chosen Darkclaw: 6-9 damage, 3 crit
To switch between rebalance options, place semi-colons in front of the Jose’s rebalance values and delete the ones in front of the original rebalance values, and vice versa.
Special thanks to Jose in the comments for pointing out an option that might satisfy everyone.
