Description:

“Commander, Some of our more ‘risk tolerant’ recruits have been looking at these new faction weapons and think they could make use for them in combat. Their ideas seem good but dangerous. Hit hard and duck is their plan, not sure we will get to many volunteers” Jane Kelly

The harasser class uses the Vektor rifle and Ripjack. They specialise in single target damage and dodging return fire. They gain no health on promotion but instead get dodge. Their aim is high and have reasonable mobility, which is enhanced by the third survivalist line of perks. They benefit other team members with rifle skills that help subsequent attacks or inhibit retaliation meaning they can be most useful opening the attack. Due to the nature of soldier required for this style of combat they are less common than normal classes.

Irregular classes are class that don’t fit normal military combat but more an idea, ethos or personality. Due to this they are rarely received by promotion and cannot be trained in the GTS. They can be recruited through a covert infiltration mission chain, and you can only spawn if you have less than 2.
If you don’t worry you can still use it, just go to the XComClassData.ini file in the workshop folder and change NumInForcedDeck=0 to NumInForcedDeck=1 to guarantee 1 to be promoted and make them available in the GTS or NumInDeck=2 to NumInDeck= 4 to get normally levels of promotions.
