[WOTC] Modern Infantry Class
The Infantry is a versatile class with varied tactics. Carries Assault Rifle and Disposable Rocket Launcher. Takes ground and holds it.
As part of the class design, the Infantry is limited to using the Disposable Launcher in their secondary slot. They can support the squad in multiple ways or be built into a combat role using their Assault Rifle.
The class is made with a modern themed playthrough in mind, but of course is not limited to. It is balanced around a large varied squad against lots of enemies and making meaningful choices when selecting abilities, with different viable sub-roles within the class.
By default random bonus AWC abilities are disabled. The reasoning is that there is no need for it because there are enough options in the ability tree and the class has everything it needs to fill the role. Other roles are intended to be filled by other classes. AWC can of course be re-enabled through the config but there is no support to prevent duplicate/redundant abilities as is.
The Infantry has three ability trees: Supplies, Defense & Adaptive. The class rely on abilities and perks from other mods.
This class is heavily inspired by Iridar’s Rescue Denmother Keeper class and requires it for some abilities. They do not conflict and can be used together.
It also enables Scatter config for the Disposable Launcher mod, and makes it possible to shoot with one action point at an aim penalty. Configurable in XComDisposableLaunchers.ini & XComScatter.ini.
