[WOTC] Cover Damage Reduction
Now updated for War of the Chosen!
This mod reduces damage for anyone who gets shot through cover. By default, the effect is fairly small: damage is reduced by 1 for high cover, and there is a 33% chance for low cover to reduce damage by 1. This mechanic should be familiar to those who played the original Long War.
While this applies to everyone (both aliens and XCOM), most people will consider this to be a buff to XCOM, since it makes you less likely to have troopers snipe you out of full cover, particularly in the early game.
Save Compatibility
Can add or remove at any time with existing saves.
Compatibility Notes
This mod overrides two weapon damage classes:
– X2Effect_ApplyWeaponDamage (for normal damage from sidearms/grenades/swords/etc)
– X2Effect_Shredder (for damage from primary weapons)
As a result, this probably isn’t compatible with mods which overhaul weapon damage mechanics.
Any modded abilities with custom damage formulas won’t break the mod, but their damage probably won’t subtract DR.
Note: the DR mechanic is highly configurable. Check the INI for more options!
Now works properly with grenades! Uses the center of the explosion to determine cover DR.
