GTS Expander: Merist’s Perk Pack bridge by XpanD

Repurposes a bunch of perks from Merist’s Perk Pack to work as unlocks for the GTS Expander mod. Adds a total of 38 unlocks, as outlined below. (+ 3 optional picks)

Categories with links require the linked mods to be installed as well. You can run the bridge without them, but their specific unlocks will not show up.

Don’t install the LW2 weapons if you run LWOTC; it should already have them.

Balanced very roughly around vanilla, though individual perks are a bit cheaper overall due to how many there are. Leans heavily offensive, though there’s a bit of utility in there as well. Provides wide coverage for most vanilla weapons.

Note that you may want to bump Reflex Shot to the Pricy cost bucket if you run a setup that grants a separate pistol slot. I’d also recommend bumping Bandit if you run a setup where reloads end your turn; it gets silly.

This bridge makes a few changes:

• Adds missing LW2 port perks to Reposition, Botnet and Trouble Shooter.
• Allows Combat Advance and Overpower to generate focus. Overpower also scales from it.
• Reduces Alpha Strike’s cooldown from 24 to 9 turns for UI consistency.
• Adds mark 3 EMP grenade support to EMP Bomber. Untested.
• Adds tons of reaction fire/suppression abilities to Trouble Shooter.

I don’t expect these to clash with any other mods using the pack.

Extended Perk Pack: Required for 6 perk icons to show up properly.
Shadow Ops Perk Pack: Required for 7 perk icons to show up properly.
Shadow Ops Begone: Hides Shadow Ops’ included classes.

As well as one of these: (1 perk icon)
– LW2 Classes Perk Pack (I tested everything against this)
– LW2 Classes and Perks
– Long War of the Chosen (what Merist’s pack is designed for, GTS balance unknown)
– …or another mod that bundles the LW2 asset packages

Feel free to omit these if you don’t mind a few missing icons.

Note that Priority Focus won’t have an icon without Long War of the Chosen itself, but this shouldn’t be too obvious in-game; it is a passive, and should still work fine.

• M3r1st for making (and fixing) the original perk pack, and helping get GTS Expander itself working properly.
