Maverick Class
A soldier that employs experimental serums to alter themselves to serve the needs of the battle.
BETA v0.2
BASE ABILITIES
Primary Weapons: Vektor Rifle
Secondary Weapon: ‘Tempest’ modified autopistol.
Ingest Serum: Causes 1 damage to your unit, but grants bonus dodge and damage (damage is proportional to lost health). Primary weapon and overwatch are unusuable while under the influence of the serum. The effect ends if the unit does not attack during a turn.
ALCHEMIST
Booster Shot: Shoot an ally to heal them! Also grants 2 rounds of low health regen and immunity to poison and disorient. (Normal only.)
Engagement: Normally, it grants an aim bonus. While the serum is active, it grants a crit chance bonus.
Extra Serum: Grants an additional charge of Serum and an additional charge of Booster Shot (if available).
Jacob’s Ladder: Whiplash, but only usable in normal mode.
Overexertion: Usable twice per mission. Grants an immediate bonus action.
Healing Serum: When the serum effect ends, recover half of the unit’s missing health.
MUTANT
Bloodlust: Scoring a crit grants a bonus movement action. (Serum only.)
Point Blank: A strong shot with knockback that can only be used from one or two tiles away. Does not automatically end the unit’s turn. (Serum only.)
Chem Shot: Normal mode, a weak single target shot that can inclict burning, acid, and/or poison. Ignores armor and shields. Serum mode, attack all targets in a cone, and it may inflict panic (guaranteed if it crits).
Salt in the Wound: One point of extra damage to enemies suffering from burning, acid, poison, or bleeding.
Rage: A very powerful shot that also shreds armor. It has a lower chance to crit and it immediately ends the serum effect. (Serum only.)
Serum Boost: Dodge, damage, and crit chance bonuses from serum continue to increase the longer the serum is active.
GTS
Survivor: Prevents the first killing blow in a mission and increases recovery speed.
TRAINING CENTER
Catharsis: Requires Rage. If Rage kills the target, it grants one extra charge of Serum.
COMPATIBILITY
As far as I’m aware there should be no compatibility problems from this mod.* However, coming into the scene at this late date, there’s a lot out there I might have missed, so please let me know if you run into any problems.
*Obviously incompatible with vanilla, but I have no plans to make a version for that.
THREE TREE VARIANT
Optionally, you can enable a version of this class that uses three upgrade paths instead of two. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open XComClassData.ini in the mod’s Config folder.
2. Add a ; before "+SoldierClasses=MaverickClass"
3. Remove the ; before "+SoldierClasses=MaverickClass3T"
If you choose to play with this, be sure you’re using the Community Promotion Screen (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2550561145) or another mod that enables AWC style promotions by default.
