Description:

A simple mod to nerf an item in Spark Arsenal

All special shots still require the Heavy Cannon to have 1 ammo and consume 1 ammo
All special shots still use <Heavy Cannon Default Action Points> to fire … 2AP

This mod adds a 1 turn cooldown and adds charges to the Heavy Cannon Shell Abilities.
The cooldown is so you can only fire the special shot once in the same turn.

Carrying the Solo Shell Ammo type item gives 3 charges.
Carrying the multi-shell Weapon Rack item gives 1 charge of each special shot.

Also allows Heavy Ordnance to affect the SPARK Grenade slots.
You can turn this off in the configs if you wish or if it causes issues.

All cooldown and charge numbers are config editable in the XComGame.ini.

Without this mod the shells are busted OP in my opinion. Once you have the rack there was no point in using anything else, ever!
Unlimited grenades, shredder gun and explosive ammo ? For the low-cost of a single item ? Like WUT ?

The mod makes zero localisation edits, so it’s on you to recall the charges/cooldown, although it should display on the Ability HUD

Obviously to Iridar, SPARK Arsenal is an amazing mod giving HUGE versatility to SPARKS
Many Thanks to ChristopherOdd for showcasing how bustedly OP these shells are
With thanks to Kexx, MrCloista, GameBreaker and CrazyEyed for the discussion on how to best ‘balance’ the items

As always, my appreciation to the fine folks of the XCOM2 and MEME Modders discords

~ Enjoy !! and please buy me a Cuppa Tea[www.buymeacoffee.com]
