Description:

Rebalances weapons from Alien Hunters DLC:

• Bolt Casters’ damage reduced by -2 from 6-8 / 8-10 / 10-12 to 4-6 / 6-8 / 8-10.
• Bolt Casters are now classified as Sniper Rifles. This provides Sharpshooters wtih access to a weapon they can fire after moving.
• Axes’ damage reduced to the level of XCOM swords, but they now get 1 / 2 / 3 Armor Pierce and their Crit Damage is set at 3 / 3 / 4 – one point higher than swords. Meshes well with their innately higher crit chance.
• Throw Axe is no longer a free action, it costs 1 AP and ends turn. However, now it does not break concealment if the throw kills the target.
• Shadowkeeper, Axe and Bolt Caster are now upgraded alongside regular XCOM weapons: pistols, swords and sniper rifles, respectively.

Additionally, this mod changes how you acquire the weapons if you do not enable the Alien Hunters mission when you start the campaign: you will be able to perform Experimental Weapons research, which will immediately grant you the conventional tier of all four weapons.

If you do enable the Alien Hunters mission, you will be able to get the weapons by scanning a Point of Interest, same as without the mod.

Some aspects of the mod are configurable here:

• [WOTC] WSR Weapon Skin Replacer – Core is required.

• [WOTC] Reusable Hunter Axe – allows picking up thrown axes.

Should, for the most part, work mid-campaign, but you might have issues acquiring weapons of specific tiers due to changes to upgrade schematics. If that happens to you, you may grant yourself the missing weapons with console commands:

where "WeaponName" is one of these:

Right now the mod does absolutely nothing to Alien Hunters Armors. I may make a similar rebalance for them in the future, or simply update this mod instead.
