Proficiency Plugin : Gunslinger v1.5

Update V1.5 please see change notes.

This class is built to fill 2 much requested gaps in Proficiency classes – Pistol based Gunslingers and Claymore users. To achieve this, it plays heavily into the Old-West Gunslinger/Space Cowboy archetypes, to make for a truly unique experience.

I did not want to make this reliant on Primary Secondaries/True Primary Secondaries, so I created a new primary Claymore, and have made all the ‘shooty’ perks work with the secondary pistol. It requires Templar Gauntlets For Soldiers Animation Patch mod to achieve the ‘gunslinger’ stance. As a result of this, the ‘primary’ claymore is VERY limited on ammunition, but the ‘secondary’ pistol, which is functionally the class’ main weapon, has infinite ammo. Because of this, the perks that increase the weapon’s damage are generally designed to be situational or cooldown reliant in nature.

The Gunslinger is UNABLE to be trained in the GTS, and has a reduced spawn weight for Rookie Promotions. However, a config has been added so Rescue Resistance Leader mod chain can award Gunslingers, up to a max of 2 in the barracks.
