Description:
Overview

Hunker Down is busted since the release of XCOM 2. It provides Defense and Dodge bonuses unconditionally, and not only when the unit is flanked, but even if its cover is destroyed. The mod fixes this absurdity by properly removing both modifiers from exposed targets. Though if you want Dodge bonus back, you can enable it via XComGameCore.ini in the mod’s Config folder.

Why the mod?

I’m aware of the mod that tackles the same issue. However, it does so in a different and, arguably, more messy fashion. It negates Defense bonus by giving the attacker bonus Aim, and that’s it. The Dodge Bonus is still omnipresent due to implementation restrictions and the author’s preferences. My mod is a slightly altered fix sourced from LW2, it should remove both modifiers in a more subtle manner.
