Neutral Point
This is a neutral Breach Point with no additional effects, good or bad. It will show up alone.

-= WHY 6 ROUNDS? =-
It's the average length of an encounter. I just want the effect to end before your next encounter. I noticed a lot of infinite duration effects seem to carry over into the next encounter which is not desirable since you'll be getting more effects as you go along.

-= CANCELLABLE? =-
A lot of the core game breach mods cannot be countered, I like to have strategic options. Send Torque into the Hazardous Materials and use the Mindshield on units to counter most of the Mental ones. It makes the Mindshield and Shelter less useless. You can also slot Zephyr into the Rooting ones from the core game, she's immune to Root.

-= COMPATIBILITY =-
If you were ever to find another mod that does this, they would not be compatible because the text file has numbers that need to be consecutive so adding another mod with breaches would not work.

-= KNOWN ISSUES =-
Recoil Control works in the round where you have the effect and then move and fire: This is an old, archaic bug from SteadyHands that is not easy to fix. The game checked if you moved last turn, but not the current one. I've elected to leave it in, so when you have the effect moving in the round will not clear it from you.

Solace doesn't work properly: This is a base game issue, subscribe to my Avenger Campaign Mods it's in there.

-= PATCHED BUGS =-
There is a rare case where you will get the same Breach Effect twice on the same slot. This is because you get assigned the first slot by the game, then the second slot is incompatible and the game rerolls and then picks the same slot as the first and says "OK ALL GOOD". This is a Firaxis bug that a slot should also EXCLUDE ITSELF. This has been patched and looks like its working, excluding a breach from itself does not prevent it from showing up. Bug example prepatch in screenshots.

-= CHANGE TO EXISTING BREACH =-

"Secure Entrance"

"There are fewer Aggressive enemies present at this entrance. You gain a bonus equal to half of Cover Rush to Dodge and Defense for the first turn which does not stack with Cover Rush."
