Raptor Class – WOTC

The Raptor is intended to be a mobile class that delivers accurate strikes with small arms fire– great for finishing off low-health targets in cover or executing combos with other squad members. The Raptor’s skill trees allow specialization in mobility (Soar), marking targets (Hunt), or damage (Strike).

The Raptor uses the LW2 promotion scheme (promotions go up to Brigadier, which is 1 more than base XCOM), but is not LW2 compatible AFAIK. This class uses a pistol and holotargeter as its primary/secondary weapons, respectively.

  IMPORTANT NOTES

  This class does not have GTS abilities, and as this mod is mostly for my own use I probably won’t be adding them myself due to lack of skillset. If anyone is possessed to add GTS abilities, be my guest.

  Is the class balanced? The goal is "yes." Faceoff won’t kill anything dangerous on its own and Fan Fire comes at Brigadier. The class can pretty consistently deal some damage every turn and can notably negate much of the bonuses granted by high cover, but it does not have skills like Salvo or Traverse Fire that allow multiple attacks on the player turn. This class should shine in Covert Infiltration ambush and Extract Advent Supplies mission types.

  Changelog

  * Changed a couple broken abilities like Light ’em Up; I don’t think there’s a similar ability in the perk packs I’m drawing from that works with pistols.
  * Class icon should now be fixed
