Heavy Barrel Gun Attachments For LWOTC
This is a Long War of the Chosen version of SolarNougat’s Heavy Barrel Gun Attachments mod. Almost everything from that mod is the same here, including the effects of the Heavy Barrels (+1/2/3 Crit Damage to the upgraded weapon, based on the tier of the Heavy Barrel item in question) and the item template names (for maximum compatibility with existing mods).
Unlike most of my work, this isn’t really me putting my own spin on a thing. All this version of the mod brings to the table is that there will be no more disappearing of timed loot drops when running it with LWOTC, with no config work needed on the user’s part. With the original version of Heavy Barrels, some config work was needed to make it work with LWOTC (specifically, screwing with LWOTC’s XComGameCore.ini). I’m familiar enough with the typical muppet to know that that’s not always a realistic expectation, even with a detailed step-by-step guide. The other advantage is no longer having to worry about replacing the configs every time LWOTC updates.
If you’re not a LWOTC player and are having timed loot related problems with SolarNougat’s version of the mod, you can try this one. LWOTC is not a hard requirement, just the target audience. However, if you don’t run LWOTC, you will need the XCOM 2 Community Highlander.
Don’t run this version and SolarNougat’s together. Or, if you do, don’t bother me about the horrible results. I’m busy.
All relevant config options (such as crit damage values and everything relating to drop tables) can be found in this mod’s XComHeavyBarrels.ini.
– SolarNougat for making the original version of this mod, and also allowing a LWOTC port to be made.
– DerBK for the original concept of the Heavy Barrels (A Better Barracks’ version of Repeaters).
– Iridar for coming up with a way to add extra attachment drops to the game without having to mess with the original loot tables (this is put into practice in the Spark Arsenal mod with the Experimental Magazine and Speed Loader items), which is the main reason this port was possible for me to do.
If you don’t see your name in the credits and think you should be there, let me know.
