Legacy Samurai Class

Description
THIS MOD IS DEPRECATED AND HAS NO ACTIVE SUPPORT OR UPDATES. USE ON YOUR OWN RISK!

Introducing the Samurai to XCOM

THIS CLASS IS COMPATIBLE WITH VANILLA XCOM2, LONG WAR 2 AND LONG WAR PERK PACK.

IMPORTANT For vanilla (Not LW2 or LWPP user) use my LW Promotion Screen For Vanilla which allows you to display the third perk column and the Master Sergeant rank.


The samurai now uses the swords(or other melee weapons if you insist) as primary weapon
and throwing knives as secondary weapon.

For every 10 souls you collect in total you gain +1 critical chance and for every 20 souls +1 critical damage (melee only, based on overall melee killcount from all battles since shinigami is added)

Instant respec to update to throwing knives or update from the older samurai classes mid campaign

Go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\268500\844674609

Now that you're in Long War 2's mod folder, go to Config then open XComGameData.ini with notepad, or preferably Notepad++ (its free and vastly superior, google it). Now scroll down a little from the top, or hit CTRL-F and search for "respec", and you should find this:

; This is multiplied per rank! XComHeadquarters_DefaultRespecSoldierDays[0]=3 XComHeadquarters_DefaultRespecSoldierDays[1]=4; Normal XComHeadquarters_DefaultRespecSoldierDays[2]=4; Classic XComHeadquarters_DefaultRespecSoldierDays[3]=5; Impossible

Change your difficulty level to 0 for instant respec time.
Then start the game and respec you samurai. Then change back if you want.

NOTE TO THE LATEST UPDATE:
You need the "[LW2] SpecOps Combat Knives" for the secondary throwing knives now.
If you missing the initial throwing knive use the following console command:
AddItem ThrowingKnife_CV_Secondary 1
You have to equip it on the soldier to replace the double barrel shotgun

Downloaded early in campaign, but not before I started so technically mid. Mid campaign, three new recruits suddenly decide to be my first Samurai at once, but no melee weapons, no way to make melee weapons and (this I presume is just because it's not included) no special armour or anything. Am I missing mods? Does it just not work mid campaign?

Much as I love this class.... I got the primary chain killer ability as their bonis... so.... don't think I'm gonna use this class agian, it was too broken.
