Description:

Verge was part of an ADVENT experiment to subvert Earth governments by mind-controlling human subjects. A master puppeteer, Verge used high-ranking officials to reassure the populace that the aliens had their best interests at heart. This intimate mental contact eventually led Verge to gain empathy for humanity, and he began supplying resistance groups with information.

• Updated the Network Healing skill along with some minor skill configuration and class changes.
• The mod will add a Sectoid Blaster that can be equipped in a designated weapon slot with Verge.
• Fixed the incompatibility issues with XCOM: Gears Tactics Class/Perk Pack [BETA] so Verge can now play along fine with the Gear Classes.

• Adept at disabling enemies and influencing their mental states, he is also skilled in telekinesis, able to rip enemies out of cover to improve squadmates’ hit chances.

• Sectoid Melee Vulnerability resulting in +3 Damage taken for Melee hits.

The Requirements listed are all Required… PLUS for the mod to function properly please include 1 of the following:

• Musashis RPG Overhaul
  OR
• [WOTC] Community Promotion Screen (or a similar mod)

• [WOTC] Unrestricted Customization Redux
  If you want to customize Verge you will most likely need a mod such as this.
• [WotC] No More PsiAmps
  All the animations were tested using this mod. No idea what it will look like without.
• [WOTC] Iridar’s Sectoid Blaster
  This mod by default will grant 1 free starting Sectoid Blaster to your inventory intended for Verge.
• [WOTC] Dedicated Pistol Slot 2.0
  This mod is required if you want to equip the Sectoid Blaster.

• XCOM Psionics Overhaul V3

• The old version of this mod will most likely conflict.
• Vipers Verge mod should not be used with this version.

• Verge can be added to your crew at anytime by using the Console command: AddVergeToHQ
• I would love to see Verge added through a different method along with the other Chimera Squad Members.
• Verge has a passive ability called Chimea Squad. This currently does nothing but perhaps some day it will grant bonuses or free actions to other Chimera Squad Squadmates.

• The Upper and Lower Face props seem to have a few extra lines added only for the Verge Character. I was not able to identify the cause but it shouldn’t impact any other class.

• Verge is added to the Gatecrasher mission in Squad Slot 4. You may change the squad slot number or not add him to the Gatecrasher mission at all. If AddToGatecrasher is set to false Verge will not spawn in the game without the Console Command AddVergeToHQ.
• If Verge loses all of his HP he becomes unconscious up to once per mission. This can be changed by setting VergeCannotDie = false

• Tim McCracken: Who developed the Envoy Class for Chimera Squad.
