Psi Havoc
This mod aims to make Null Lance and Void Rift more fun by applying environmental damage to them. Null Lance’s environmental damage is now on par with Plasma Grenade, Void Rift gets the same amount of damage as Frag Grenade. As a counterbalance to the direct buff, both abilities now also destroy loot. All changes are configurable in ‘XComPsiHavoc.ini’.
Have you ever felt that ultimate psi abilities lack oomph? "Generate an EXPLOSIVE FIELD of Psionic energy, Project a beam of TERRIBLE POWER" – these are excerpts from Void Rift and Null Lance descriptions. Yet when you use them, everyone affected either flinches in pain or dies (from cringe), while surroundings stay completely intact. Kinda anticlimactic, in my opinion.

-Void Rift now properly knocks back enemies killed by the ability. Null Lance required a more extensive treatment and is fixed in the separate mod along with other abilites.

-Added evnironmental damage to the Codex’s Psionic Bomb. By default it destroys fragile objects only (windows, crates, lamp posts, etc.) and sets cars on fire. Adjustable in ‘XComPsiHavoc.ini’.
