Tedster’s Akimbo for LWOTC / Ted Jam
This is a rework of Kiruka’s Akimbo for LWOTC updated for the latest LWOTC changes and rebalanced for Ted Jam, since Kiruka has moved on from the XCOM modding scene.
This version has tweaked trees to remove some abusable combos (sorry, no more Limit Break + Last Stand to one turn a mission) and tweak the balance of others. The bottom row has been turned into an overwatch-related tree, featuring the ability to take a large number of reaction shots, but with no ability to crit with them.
Credits to Iridar for the original Akimbo class, Kiruka for getting me into LW modding with Mod Jam, Xenthalus for creating the updated trees for this version, and authors of the various perk packs used.
All the caveots of the original Akimbo for LWOTC apply, copypasted and tweaked below:
- Unlike most of the other class mods, this one overrides the original Akimbo class, rather than setting up a new "LWS" class. I did this in order to ensure that the Akimbo’s class intro movie was kept intact. You’ll need to respec any existing Akimbos (if you had any) if you’re adding this to an existing campaign.
- Akimbos do not get a pistol slot by default, as they equip pistols as both primary and secondary weapons. If you don’t care about that it’s easy enough to config a pistol slot in for them.
- Akimbos cannot equip the Whippit Shotgun from Mod Jam/Ted Jam. This is for balance reasons, as Pistol Whip is completely overpowered when using it. You can config this out in this mod’s XComGame.ini if you don’t care about balance.
- Inventory Slot Weight Toggler is not technically required to make the mod run, but I’m listing it as required since pistols have 1 weight each in LWOTC, and -2 mobility on top of utility slot items’ weight would just hurt this class way too much.
- Make sure you use True Primary Secondaries, and NOT the original Primary Secondaries. The original is not really compatible with LWOTC as it doesn’t play nice with single-builds. At the very least, don’t use TPS and the original together.
