Description:

Adds the Sectopod Prime enemy from A Better Advent as a standalone unit, with changes being made to differentiate itself including a new name as well as a skin which is repurposed from unused content in the game files (The skin the Prototype Sectopod from the Forge mission would of used hence Forged Sectopod)

Other changes from the Sectopod Prime include ini settings for different stats based on what difficulty you run and added followers from other mods that can join in it’s pod including.

The Advent Spark and Titan from A Better DLC and my own standalone versions
The Riot Mec’s and repair bits from CX’s recent More robots mod
hectorzx’s Advent Drone

Otherwise this mod retains the stats and abilities of the original Sectopod Prime including it’s ability to be hidden from the Shadow Chamber, that’s right you won’t know if it’s gonna be on the mission or not hence giving back a little of the sense of tension that late game can tend to drop.

While this mod is intended to be used outside of ABA since it has it’s own Prime, you can and I would suggest using this mod with DerBK’s A Better AI since it will also benefit from the smarter AI that the normal Sectopod gets with that mod.

Personal Lore:

"Advent’s been increasing their technology production recently, at the impenetrable Advent Forge besides whatever they have been doing with the Avatar Project there seems to be production and field testing for these new Sectopods. This Forged Sectopod is ‘bigger and better’ with tougher armor forged from rare materials, their AI is more advanced and reactive being able to return fire immediately on any attacker, they also seem to boast some sort of rader jamming tech since we can’t track them with equipment, this makes these things much more dangerous because we won’t be able to prepare ourselves ahead of time, we won’t see them coming. This is a good reminder that Xcom can’t delay taking down Advent, we know for sure it’s not just the Avatar project we got to race against now, it’s the production of these Sectopods and other weapons of mass destruction."

Credits:

I would like to thank DerBK for allowing me to port over the unit, A Better Advent is a great mod and should definitely be given a shot.

If any bugs arise, just comment down below and I’ll try to get to them, there probably shouldn’t be any trouble though.
