You can edit the mod's .ini if you'd like

I understand not wanting the chosen and rulers to not be one-shottable, but things like berserkers and sectopods? You'd be making the repeater completely useless

Installed it midgame, CJ was in a hurry and executed both Julian and the Berserker Queen nonetheless. (but still couldn't follow the train)
Beta Strike were enabled and maybe it's just a mod compatibilty issue. Do you need annother mod, that updates the upgrade effects for midgame installations?

What line should I add for the Cryssalid Queen?

Yes you can activate it mid game

Can I activate this mod mid-playthrough? Or do I need to start a new save?

one mod will always override the other

So I've accidentaly activated both this mod and [WOTC] Better Repeater at the same time. I still get executions but not on the listed excluded enemies -- at least not yet.

well thats easy to add if you want to do it. Just copy the Alien names into the INI yourself like +IMMUNE_UNITS=Viper and +IMMUNE_UNITS=Sectoid and so on. real easy to add or remove what you want in. Even modded enemies too

Maybe just a little bit but i really mean just add all the aliens on it and not the trooper type guys I dont mind one shooting the troopers XD
Other than that I love this mod either way it helps a lot when facing the big guys in the game and the alien mods

I sense some sarcasm there ;) This list is meant to be for boss and larger type enemies I FEEL should never just be one shot killed. To be honest, I feel the execution effect should have been an ability just for the Sharpshooter and not tied to a weapon mod.

Should just add all the aliens to this list

This mod is essential for my game. Great job! I can't figure out why this mod doesn't have 30K subs.

Alright sounds good.

Will add it as soon as I get to the PC

Sorry to bother but any chance to add the Forged Sectopod among the list?

The unit name is ForgedSectopod

fair said, was only curious as it seems to be mods that try and remove the RNG out of a RNG strategy game are everywhere, nothing hard meant from it, just curious

Because some extreme gamers like a challenge and don’t want to insta kill the larger and boss enemies and would like to have the satisfaction of working to kill a tough enemy. This mod isn’t for everyone sure. But the option is good for those that want it.

Because insta killing a boss enemy is cheap?

It's not really playing the game your just skipping content by insta killing something.

Call me a scrub but isnt RNG literally the name of the game here considering you can still have a 98% CHANCE TO HIT only for RNG to take it to a miss? Why would you knee cap yourself with this mod? (Just asking for curiosities sake cause i feel interested)

Sectopod_Markov is Julian's Sectopod

How would I go about adding Heavy Mecs, Andromedons and Julian's Sectopod to this?

well that should be a given as tactical suppressors are reworked repeaters

WARNING: This mod should not be used alongside the Tactical Suppressors mod, as it'll override that mod's effects.

@RagedSilencer:
No. This mod isn't set-up to use MCM.

Can the Mod Config Menu mod change the .ini file from options?

yeah some mods you can get lucky with and there wont be any issues. You may get lucky here to bud. I just kind of make it a rule of thumb to never remove mods mid game.

@MrShadowCX:
OK, cheers. The only mod like that I know of is Remove Missing Mods. And, AFAIK,that just unbinds the mod from the save rather than scrubbing the save of any templates or what have you the removed mod has added.

Seem to remember in my last WotC campaign removing some melee weapon mods part way through (The Bat Mod, The Axe Mod, maybe Katanas. Anyway). Whilst there were errors in launch.log for the rest of the campaign there were no (apparent) issues.

Unless you’re using a mod to help remove other mods from your current game, you should never remove a mod mod game. Adding mods is fine but removing mods, can always cause issues.

@MrShadowCX:
Would you anticipate problems switching from this to DerBK's in mid-campaign?

If you have the repeater, you get the bonus damage all the time against only the enemies that can't be executed.

question the repeater goes of at 5,10,15% certain enemies are now immune to that so they now instead just recieve the +1.2,3 damage. My question is do you have to roll the % to get the damage. or simply having a repeater makes you get the damage bonus vs rulers (ect) all the time?

Is it bad I am using this mod just for the bonus damage ini.

@Dragon32 on the Repeters, insider knowledge ups their % to execute from 5%, 10% and 15% to 10%, 15% and 20%. But it will not change the added +1 to +3 damage that this mod adds.

@shadow79:
I mean that a standard repeater normally gives +1 damage with this mod, if I have Insider Knowledge would that repeater give +2 damage?

For some reason repeater became suppressor when I typed that :S

My RNG is really bad, so I never get any sort of reliable use from Repeaters, even superior ones anyway, but I prefer having those hilarious moments when a huge unit eats it after one shot that would just tickle it normally.
Like this one time when I was doing an ADVENT Train 'Hack the Objective' mission and the Chosen Hunter decided to show up. I just happened to make contact with him at the end of my turn with only one solider left to take a shot. Even if the repeater hadn't dropped him instantly he really wouldn't have done much damage aside from soak up shots on the next turn since everyone was in cover, but lo and behold he gets kale'd instantly by a 69% shot and I finish the mission.

@Dragon32 altered suppressors?

Nice. Subbed even though I probably never use it since I use the mod the replaces repeaters with silencers.

Excellent stuff, shadow79. A question, if I may...

Do the altered suppressors benefit from the Insider Knowledge continent bonus (etc.)?

@shadow79 Ahh, thanks, I wasn't aware that the one seen in the Forge was a entirely different enemy. I just thought it was a regular Sectopod. Thanks for the information.

Love the mod in principal. But I have deep personal attachment. My first OMG moment playing XCOM2 was when my specialist Executed the Zerk Queen as she was about to lay down total death on my squad. We were engaged with an Advent pod indoors, with lots of high cover. A grenade to a hunkered down commander blew open the wall and revealed Her Highness near the end of my turn. She was so close I was sure it was a squad wipe. My specialist was on the roof and overwatch tagged her as she was charging. It took me all of a minute to figure out what happened, I was so shocked. So, in principal I agree that they should be immune, I can't personally get on board.

@Rater11 in the game the Blacksite Forge mission is meant to be the "First time" you see a Sectopod and there is one in that mission that is a "Prototype Sectopod".

@nekoworkshop I thought that was the Prototype_Sectopod. If not, then what's that?

A great and much needed mod, insta sub!

@Rster11 Julian's final form in Shen's Last Gift, the JulianPod.

What's the Sectopod_Markov?

@p6kocka You can kill them. Just not with repeaters (instant kill).

Does it mean you can't kill those enemies?
