Custom Weapon and Armor Stats Overhaul

Part of a complete weapons overhaul to make all weapon types feel unique and lend to their own tactical advantages. Weapons are tightly balanced for Legendary Difficulty and are changed using standard Rifle Damage as Basis. All weapons will have their distinct advantages magnified over each tech tier.

Includes custom Armor Stats, replacing HP with Shield (Except Spark) to reduce wound times and modifying all armors to focus on their unique strengths.

All stats are explained and configurable via INI file.

To be paired with the following mods:
1. Shotguns Flank Crit Bonus
2. Cannon Deploy Ability
3. Armour Gives Defense
4. Vektor Armor Crit Bonus
5. Long War SMG Pack - WotC (unofficial) by NStriker. REFER TO NOTES AT BOTTOM
6. [WOTC] Armor & Vest Config by Charmed. REFER TO NOTES AT BOTTOM
7. Utility Slot Sidearms WOTC by Ginger. REFER TO NOTES AT BOTTOM

8.

All weapons now have unique tactical advantages, separated by category. Now with the Armor Gives Defense mod, Anti Armour is always needed, or pack lots of grenades.

Rifle and Bullpup are now viable alternatives using medium range table. Decide between better aim or raw Damage. Vektor Rifles keep their unique range table and are your default Anti Armour go to gun.

Mid Range, For Regular Shooting:
1. Rifle: 4 - 5 Dmg, Has most ammo, Highest Dmg growth per tier
2. Bullpup: 4 - 5 Dmg, +10 Aim
3. Vektor Rifle: 4 - 5 Dmg, -10 Aim, +10 Crit%, 2 Piercing, +Crit% per armor of enemy target

Shotguns and SMGs now both serve flanking purpose, SMGs make flanking much easier with their high Mobility Bonus, while Shotguns give greater reward for a successful flank with increased crit chance and crit damage. Their close range bonus helps mitigate defense gained by armour.

Short Range, Specialised for Flanking:
4. Shotgun: 4 - 5 Dmg, +10 Crit%, +Crit Dmg. (+20 Crit% on Flank, also applies to your secondary weapon)
5. SMG: 4 - 5 Dmg, +2 Mobility

Snipers maintain their focus on killing large targets, usually mechanical, while Cannons once deployed provide great fire support. Both trade mobility for greater stopping power.

Mid Long Range, Slower but More Powerful:
6. Sniper Rifle: 5 - 6 Dmg, +10 Crit%, 3 Piercing, 2 AP to Shoot
7. Cannon: 4 - 6 Dmg, - 2 Mobility, - 15 Aim, +30 Aim and 20 Defense when Deployed.

As backup, you can arm Pistols or Ripjacks for Piercing, Autopistol or Sword for raw Damage. Added Slash ability to Ripjacks and Swords for you. Note, rangers will get duplicate slash ability, working on removing that.

Secondaries:
8. Pistol: 2 - 3 Dmg, 2 Piercing
9. Autopistol: 3 - 5 Dmg
10. Sword: 4 - 5 Dmg, +10 Crit%
11. Ripjack: 3 - 4 Dmg, 2 Piercing, +10 Aim, +1 Shred


Grenades have also been modified to reduce the ease of Armour Shredding. NOTE: Frag Grenades do not Shred.

Now all Grenade types have unique uses.
(Eg. Fire Grenade for High Dmg but no Pierce, Acid for Shredding, Plasma for Balanced, Gas for Debuff and DOT and EMP for the win.

Now with Armour also adding Defense, Armour Piercing and Shredding is very important. Making Grenadiers crucial even till the late game.

Also rebalances Alien's and Advent's weapons to remove any shredding except for a few instances. Many buffed with Pierce.
In general:
MagAdvent weapons (Advent and Mecs) have no pierce,
Weak BeamAlien weapons (Sectoid, Viper, Muton, Spectre, Codex, Archon) have 1 pierce,
Strong BeamAlien weapons (Andromedon, Gatekeeper, Sectopod, Avatar) have 2 pierce,
All enemy Melee Attacks except Zombies and Lost have 2 Pierce
Explosive weapons will shred slightly (Sectopod cannon, Micro Missiles, Self Destruct, Tier 3 grenades)
Acid weapons will shred badly (Andromedon)


War Of The Chosen Compatible. Will clash with any mod that also changes the ini stats of any xcom weapon.
