Description:

I got bored and felt like putting together a class I had in my head for quite a while, the Hijacker. Check out the main class tree here[docs.google.com]. As the Hijacker is set up for LWOTC, they have a 4-tier XCOM row as well as the pistol row (which you may actually get good use of on this class) in addition to their three main ability rows. They equip an SMG as their primary weapon, and a GREMLIN (or BIT, if you’re running SPARK Arsenal, as you should be if you have taste) as their secondary.

The Hijacker starts with the Full Override, Phantom and Intrusion Protocol abilities at Squaddie rank, and has 3 specializations in their main ability tree.

  • Acquisition is for the Hijacker who wants to double down on their signature Full Override ability, letting them get extra uses, as well as keep themselves alive and their stolen robots in their hands and well supported.
  • Unseen is a stealth tree that lets the Hijacker get back into stealth after losing it, as well as giving them a diverse toolkit that they can use without breaking stealth in the first place.
  • Malicious contains a mix of damage and crowd control abilities, which are great picks if you want the Hijacker to be able to do things other than scouting and hacking.

Mod Requirements
  • Yes, Long War of the Chosen is required. You could repurpose the Hijacker for use with regular WOTC, but that would at the minimum require the LW2 Classes and Perks mod, plus a lot of restructuring of the classdata to swap out the LWOTC versions of skills with the LW2 Classes and Perks versions. This is entirely possible to do even without ModBuddy (just config edits), so don’t ask me to do it for you.
  • The other mods in the required list are for abilities/icons.
  • While not at all a hard requirement, I highly recommend Mod Jam if you’re a LWOTC player.
Conflicts
  • There should be no conflicts to speak of.
Credits
  • Iridar, Mitzruti, Favid, the usual perk pack folks who are without a doubt the foundation of my classes.
  • Ketaros for the Ketaros 2D Package, which this mod uses an icon from.

If you don’t see your name in the credits and think you should be there, let me know and I’ll add you ASAP.
