LW SpecOps Class

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


V 1.2 Introduced global suspicion level and UI for suspicion
V 1.1 New suspicion level mechanics and scamper on silent kill
V 1.0 Initial Release

If you are NOT using the LW Perk Pack please use this version of the class.

The SpecOps soldier specializes in silently sabotaging, deceiving, confusing and killing his enemies.
He is at its best when staying in the shadows. Some are also specializing in hacking, although they are by far not as good as the specialist and lacking the remote hacking ability.
Their weakness is a low health progression making them very vulnerable when exposed.

Most abilities are custom made. The rest are vanilla perks or from the LW Perk Mod.

SpecOps Loadout:
Primary Weapon: Rifle or Sniper Rifle
Secondary Weapon: Combat Knife

Left Tree: Covert Ops
Right Tree: Guerilla Warfare

SQUADDIE (Both Perks)
Sword Slice, Fleche (LW)
Phantom (Vanilla)

CORPORAL
Knife Juggler (Gain + 1 Bonus Damage, +10 aim and 1 additional use for the Throwing Knives.)

Backstabber (Gain + 2 Bonus Damage and the cooldown for silent takedown is reduced by 1 for the Combat Knives and Ninjato)

Snap Shot (You may take standard shots and enter standard overwatch with your sniper rifle after moving, but you suffer severe range penalties beyond 5 tiles of squadsight range on all shots.)

SERGEANT
Demolition Expert (The demolition experts sets up charges for situations where a little 'distraction' is needed. Blows up all explosive devices (cars, gas tanks, etc.) in 10 tile radius. If possible the soldier enters concealment. Can only be used once per mission.)

Ambush (Overwatch a single target with Covering Fire. This attack may critically hit. If you kill the target you remain concealed. Can only be activated while concealed. See Silent kill mechanics)

Shadowstrike (When concealed, gain +25[+50 LW2] bonus Aim and +25[+50 LW2] bonus critical hit chance when attacking enemies.

Evasive (Start each mission with 100 bonus dodge. The bonus is removed after you take damage for the first time.)

LIEUTENANT
Evasion (When your concealment is broken for the first time you spawn a mimic beacon at a random tile in 5 tile radius to your location.)

Aggression (All of your attacks get +10 Crit chance for each enemy you can see, to a max of +30. Aggression even affects attacks that can't normally crit, such as grenades.)

Lightning Reflexes (Reaction fire shots against you have a significantly decreased chance to hit. The bonus goes down with each additional reaction shot you face.)

CAPTAIN
SpecOps Flashbang (The SpecOps version of the flash grenade packs a bigger punch at the expense of detonation radius. It disorients enemies and has a 30% stun chance. The usage does not break your concealment and in combination with aggression it also does some damage on critical hits.)

Implacable (If you score one or more kills on your turn, you are granted a single bonus move.)

Conceal (Immediately enter concealment once per mission.)

MAJOR
Marksman (Provides limited Squadsight of 4 tiles beyond your sight radius to your primary weapon. Also grants squadsight overwatch with the same range, which is still usable after you move)

Plant X4 (You carry two charges of X4 with a remote trigger. Planting X4 is a free action and does not break concealment. Triggering all previous planted X4 is a free action and does not break concealment but cannot be used in the same round with planting. X4 does 8-10 damage, shred 2 and armor pierce 2 in 8 tile radius)

VolatileMix (Grenades (including C4/X4) gain +1 tile to their radius and deal +2 damage. Does not increase environment damage.)

Bring 'Em On (Gain +1 damage on critical hits for each enemy you can see, up to a maximum of +8.)

COLONEL
Ghostwalker (Activate this ability to reduce enemy detection range by 40% for the rest of your turn as well as the following turn. Five-turn cooldown.)

Lethal (You do two additional points of base damage with your primary weapon.)

Cutthroat (Your melee attacks against biological enemies ignore their armor and have a +10 critical chance.)

BRIGADIER
Stealth Tactics (If you see no visible enemy at the start of your turn you enter concealment.)

Ghost (Become a ghost on the battlefield. Killing an enemy has a big chance to not break your concealment. See Silent kill mechanics)

Reaper (Like vanilla ranger perk)


Band of Brothers, Rank 3, 75 Supplies (Knocking out targets, picking up or dropping bodies does not cost an action point and do not end your turn.)

Recon, Rank 5, 125 Supplies (Your SpecOps soldiers are recon specialists behind enemy lines. 30% less detection radius and +2 sight radius.)

The SpecOps Combat Knives mod was originally intended to be part of the class mod.
Although it is no hard dependency (works without it) you will loose one promotion rank, if you don't subscribe to it, because the combat knife related abilites are useless to you then.
It's more fun with it anyway :)

When blowing up self with X4 the death animation is currently broken. But you are not so stupid to attempt that anyway right?
