Legacy Primary Melee Weapons

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



Currently LW2 Samurai Class, Vanilla Samurai Class and the Jedi Class (Lightsabers only) support primary melee weapons out-of-the-box.

Adds Primary Weapon variants of

• Vanilla swords
  
• Katana, Ninjato, Wakizashi, Vortex from Katana Pack Reloaded
  
• Axes from the Axe Mod
  
• Scimitars from the Celatid Alien Mod (Either Celatid Alien Mod or Celatid Alien Mod LW2 is needed for Primary Scimitars to show up)
  
• Mercenary Plasma Blade from the Mercenary Plasma Weapons Mod (Either Mercenary Plasma Weapons Mod or LW2 Mercenary Plasma Weapons Mod is needed)
  
• Lightsabers
  
• Genji Blades

The damage of the katana mod weapons are increased by one.

Primary melee weapons allows classes to define the sword category as primary weapon category, without having a soldier with bare hands

Higher tiers are unlocked when you buy the coresponding vanilla sword tier.
The primary weapons are bought separatly from the secondary variants.

There is a config value if you only want cosmetic variants which have no stat difference to the vanilla swords and without additional perks
just set
bNinjatoIsCosmetic=true
bKatanaIsCosmetic=true
bWakizashiIsCosmetic=true
bAxeIsCosmetic=true
bThrowingAxeIsCosmetic=true
(Default is false)

• This mod comes with a default integration to Grimys Loot Mod
  
• This mod should work on existing save games.

This is a guide for modders or players who know what they do!
I am not responsible if you break you game/class messing with ini files.

Enable classes to use primary melee weapons in XComClassData.ini

If you do you probably need to adjust the perks that you want to apply to the primary melee weapon as well.
For example:

You shouldnt allow a class to use both guns and melee weapons cause most perks are not designed to support that.
E.g. you wouldnt want to perform reaper with an assault rifle.

The katana, wakizashi, ninjato and axe models are made by escrimator.
Make sure you give this exceptional artist some props.
