[WOTC] Disposable Rocket Launchers 4.0

Adds three tiers of single-shot Disposable Rocket Launchers (DRLs). They are a heavier alternative to standard explosive grenades – DRLs deal a lot more damage and can be used at longer ranges, but take two actions to fire.

The mod also adds a few photobooth poses with DRLs.

• Any soldier can carry one DRL in two Utility Slots.
• Grenadiers can equip a DRL into the Secondary Weapon Slot, replacing the Grenade Launcher and losing the ability to Launch Grenades.
• Finally, any soldier can equip a DRL in the Heavy Weapon Slot.

Soldiers can carry several DRLs at the same time in different slots. For example, a Grenadier in an E.X.O. Suit can carry two DRLs – in secondary weapon and heavy weapon slots, while also carrying a grenade in the grenade-only slot.

DRLs cannot be carried by SPARKs and MEC Troopers. If you want some rocket love for big friendly robots, use my SPARK Arsenal mod.

Conventional DRLs are available from the start of the campaign in infinite quantities. They are then upgraded by Proving Grounds projects: Alien Grenade project will upgrade DRLs to magnetic tier, and Advanced Explosives project to beam tier.

These upgrades are free, and do not require you to spend any additional resources, so this mod gives you more options without affecting the economy.

• X2 WOTC Community Highlander v1.22 or higher is required.
• [WOTC] Iridar’s Template Master – Core

Safe to add mid-campaign.

• [WotC] Mod Config Menu – some aspects of this mod are configurable through MCM.
• Improved Rocket Targeting – highly recommended. Makes rocket targeting more reasonable.
• [WOTC] Iridar’s Scatter Mod – DLR mod has commented out config for the Scatter Mod.
• Beam Grenade Launcher – if this mod is present, Beam-tier DRLs will become available after you purchase the Beam Grenade Launcher schematic, which becomes available much later in the campaign than Advanced Explosives Proving Grounds project. This will make DRLs more balanced.
• [WOTC] Open Class Weapon Restrictions – if this mod is present, all mod-added soldier classes that use a Grenade Launcher secondary weapon will be able to carry a DRL as a secondary weapon.

In Mod Config Menu, you can:

• Make DRLs occupy one utility slot.
• Allow DRLs to be carried in utility slots alongside offensive grenades.
• Enable stat penalties for carrying a DRL (applies only to Utility Slot by default).
• Allow or disallow DRLs in specific inventory slots.

Mod’s configuration files are located at:

There you can do things like:

• Allow only one DRL per soldier (XComGameData.ini)
• Fine-tune stat penalties for carrying DRLs in any specific slot (XComDisposableLaunchers.ini)
• Restore scatter config for the Scatter Mod (CompatibilityXComScatter.ini)
• Edit DRLs’ stats to your heart’s content (XComTemplateEditor.ini)

Compatible with [WOTC] Prototype Armoury and [WOTC] Covert Infiltration out of the box.

If Prototype Armory is present, DRLs will automatically switch to being single-buildable. Mag-tier DRL production will be unlocked by Muton Autopsy, and beam-tier by Plasma Cannon research.

Compatible with Long War of the Chosen via Mod Jam.

Thanks to Xymanek, this mod’s packages are cooked to reduce their size and improve loading times. However, Unreal Editor is unable to open cooked packages, so if for whatever reason you need to inspect this mod’s packages, you can find the uncooked version of the mod on GitHub[github.com].

The Magnetic and Beam launchers are ported from PlanetSide 2, owned by Daybreak Games Company.
Thanks to E3245 for his koalified help with PS2 textures and the authentic AT4 model.
Thanks to NeIVIeSiS for making inventory icons.

Thanks to Beaglerush for his consultations on the mod balance and demo-ing the mod during his XCOM 2 streams, which you can watch here[www.twitch.tv].
