Supply/Intel rewards are not as relevant in the lategame. This mod helps offset that

Epic and Legendary Tier upgrades don’t drop until the mid and late game, but are intentionally very powerful. Legendary tier upgrades are around as powerful as colonel level perks.

The two continent bonuses: Armed to the Teeth, Lock and Load would be a bit too powerful with this mod, and are consequently disabled by default. You can re-enable them via the INI file.

Q – How to I add weapons/armors from other mods to the lockbox drops?
A – Please give this link to the author of the other mod if that mod doesn’t already add their items to my loot mod automatically.
You can also edit the INI yourself to add new items to lockbox drops as well.

Q – How do I attach upgrades to sidearms and armor?
A – You will need all the required mods, listed in the required mods section

Q – How do I get randomized appearances for sidearms?
A – You will need my highlander mod, which is only available on nexus (Workshop won’t let me upload it)

Q – I’m not getting any drops!
A – Try deleting the following folder:
C:UsersUserDocumentsMy GamesXCOM2XComGameConfig

Q – How do I change drop rates and other settings?
A – You can find the relevant ini files in the following directory:
steamappsworkshopcontent268500650277509

Q – Why are my swords showing +20/100 aim?
A – Not caused by this mod, probably caused by balanced ranger swords or something else in your load order.

Q – I’m getting so much more / so much less loot now, please fix!
A – This mod doesn’t alter drop rates of vanilla items. Either another mod is doing that or it’s just RNG.

Q – I can’t open my loot crates!
A – Use the GrimyLootUpdateResearch console command.
No it doesn’t disable your achievements.
