Description:

“Commander, had a couple of new volunteer’s join up today, they would never made it into the original XCOM program. But… beggars can’t be choosers. From talking to them I think they have jail time, most likely for bar fights by the smell. They can take a hit and getting up close and personal. Not sure they will be the best against a mech or a Berserker, put your average advent may think twice” Jane Kelly

Brawlers use auto pistols and combat knives. The like to get in close and go toe to toe. They can take a hit and are hard to distract. They use attacks with the knife that weaken the opponent and spray bullets at targets in near proximity. They also don’t seem to mind a riot with instant access to Molotov’s support grenades.. As physical skills they gain immunity to Viper crush, bleeding disorientate and panic as the level alone with some minor combat buffs.
Irregular classes are class that don’t fit normal military combat but more an idea, ethos or personality. Due to this they are rarely received by promotion and cannot be trained in the GTS. They can be recruited through a covert infiltration mission chain, and you can only spawn if you have less than 2.

If you don’t worry you can still use it, just go to the XComClassData.ini file in the workshop folder and change NumInForcedDeck=0 to NumInForcedDeck=1 to guarantee 1 to be promoted and make them available in the GTS or NumInDeck=2 to NumInDeck= 4 to get normally levels of promotions.
