A Better Arsenal for WOTC (LITE)
Commander while you spent the last couple of decades marinating in your own juices our engineers in munitions have made lethal advances in weapon design and development. Right from the start your rookies will wrap their hands around the grips of weapons with LETHAL potential.
A Better Arsenal seriously upgrades the your weapons, nades, gremlins, etc to an insane degree. New clip sizes make reloading irrelevant and adds a few extra shots to single shot guns and items.
If the weapons don’t remove the threat after first blood then we have upgraded our armor to make most engagements survivable.
This mod works at all gamelevel difficulties.
To list the specifics of all the changes would mean dumping the entire XComGameData_WeaponData.ini and ain’t nobody got time for that in the mod description. So let me sum up…
Weapons
- weapon damage was increased by +1 to +2 across the board
- aim was given to all weapons with the heaviest doses going to sniper rifles and lower numbers on shotguns and LWG (Lite version – minimal aim was given in all cases as to make sure gun mods remained relevant)
- a bump to shredding was given to conventional and mag weapons while piercing was given to mag and beam
- clip sizes for all weapons were increased by +2 to +3 (Lite version – clip size increases kept low to keep gun mods needed)
- minimal crit chances were added to all weapons and followed the same curve that LW2 gave to short range weapons
- increased the mobility boost given by LW2’s SMGs by +2
- grenade dmg, range, and radius was minimally adjusted if at all. clipsizes +1
- Special DLC weapons were adjusted with minimal increases to dmg and added moderate crit, aim, and use count due to their uniqueness.
Armor & Items
- health was added to all armors and vests by +2 to +3 hp
- added a mobility bump to most all of the armor types by +3 to +4
If there are aspects of this mod that you hate or things you wished were just a bit more buffed, then open the file(s) below in a text editor and scan through settings. My mods are nothing more than configuration file overrides with no coding. A word of caution about editing the downloaded files in your workshop directory. If I ever update this mod your changes will get replaced with a fresh copy of my files. I recommend copying the modified file to another folder that you can swap back in after an update.
This is assuming your running windows and steamapps are on your c: drive.
Other A Better’ MODSI have built a collection of mods under this same theme of wanting to start with a better advantage. There are multiple versions of the mods for LW2 and WOTC compatability and lesser OP versions for those who want some advantages but not overkill.
