Unfortunately, mod seems borked still even after they removed the launcher and were back to using the original mod launcher. Mod definitely needs to be updated

I litteraly used this mod once as of late with LWOTC, and it broke my game mod launcher to the point I had to reinstall it. How it broke, was after I first used it, when ever I launched the game again with LWOTC, even with it on it's own, the mission objective would not show up, softlocking me half the time, and set missions would just crash the game. DO NOT USE WITH LWOTC!!

update please

For those who can't make "A better" mod works with LWOTC:
1/ copy the mod in your local Mods folder (see comment below some guys explain it very well)
AND
2/ don't forget to add the local mods folder in AML under Options/settings/Mod directory

I think most people (including me!) who could not make it work forgot to tell AML to actually look for the mod locally.

Could you please update these to work with the workshop verison of LWOTC?

@DarthGarth
So much thanks to you!!!!!!!!!!!!

idk how to mess with the autopistol, vektor, or bull pup but none of these fixes helped so i just gave up and put the weapon data from the better arsenal config in my LWOTC config folder and now it works. Y'all are psychos if you think the average person is going to put in 2 hours of work to fuck with ini files on a cheat mod

so i cant get them to work

@Grishnak

For me it seems like all items from WoTC are not really treated correctly. Not only Bullpup and Vector.
But can be easily adjusted in an hour or two itself.
Has something to do with the fact that some things in LWoTC are found under 2 categories

BullPup and Vector e.g.
[XComGame.X2Item_XpackWeapons] and
[LW_WeaponsAndArmor.X2Item_FactionWeapons]

The author merged them into one so they don't work under the wrong category.

I just put the XComGameData_WeaponData.ini from LWoTC and the same ini from LWOTC_ABetterArsenal(LITE) next to each other and went through it from top to bottom.

Everything looks right to me now. Except for the BeamGrenade Launcher that does not work properly for me even without ABA.

My current Ini of the Lite version I have stored at Pastebin. Is also quite easy to switch to full if you want that.

MOD STILL WORKS!!!!! HERE"S HOW TO MAKE IT WORK (2022)
-DOWNLOAD XCOM 2 Alternate Mod Launcher. (Use it, its better than the default 300%)
-Subscribe to all your preferred "A Better Mod"
-Move the folder of mod to your local mod folder. (Move the whole folder with , for this, its 2047458777to your local mod folder location, its usually steamapps\common\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\XComGame\Mods)
-Use AML to activate the mod.
-Thats it. Youre good to go.

(Theres no need to make LWOTC Local, only the A Better series mod you prefer.)

i can get the base game stuff to work by switching stuff into the LW folder, but i cant seem to get anything to work for the vector, bullpup, etc

Hello. I return to xcom 2 and I am making the corrections to make my mods work but i am having trouble getting this mod in particular work. I am trying to follow the directions on the page but even if i put the mod itself in the local file, AML will not switch even if i unsub or try other ideas. Do you have the files i can download from a 3rd party? I really would want to keep your work and mod in my mod list

Thanks for that explanation Alecthelm, now the Better Arsenal mod works with LWOTC for me.

All this mods work as an charme. plus editing the inis for mod weapons and bullups or vectors is just insert name and copy paste, works real great in notepad.
and yes youve gotta copy this mod into the same folder as your LW installation, rename it to the Tag in the editor.ini, and activate it in AML.

not that not all of this is already mentioned and linked above..but yeah, "read think post "is a rule from last century, i know- cry , hate and demanding is king nowadays.

None of the [LWOTC] mods you made work with it.
I did as you mentioned at the bottom and it didnt change anything.
The weapons didnt get damage boost nor the ammo capacity upgrade,not only that,but the rookies also didnt start with better stats.
can you please check how to fix this in order to play [LWOTC] with those mods?

Vector and Bulpup still don't get that extra love. Does it buff those for anyone else? Is it conflicting with any other mods?

Help, please! How to increase my squad? Now I have max 8 on mission and 12 in Squad manager( What mods I need???

Sadly, this just isn't working. It's in the right location, selected within AML, but fails to give anything when in the game. No extra health, no weapon damage increase, no increased clip size, nothing.... :(

The note at the bottom doesn't seem to work. I can't deselect the ones from the workshop, if I try it deselects both!

I've checked through config files of this mod and tried to change stuff, but it looks like it didn't do anything, For some reason it doesn't affect Hero & chosen weapons despite things like clip size'n'stuff already changed in configs. Definitely looks like a bug.

To check if I even did everything right I tried changing stuff the same way in other mods configs and it worked, so it looks like the problem of this one.

The mod doesn't seem to be working correctly. Nothing is conflicting with the mod as well for reference.

Why this mod doesn't buff chosen trophy weapons?
They become very weak compared to standarts with this.

Mod does not work.

Ok thanks for for fast feedback ;D, and waiting for any news ;]

Hi Jaki1985, check out my response right below yours. I had problems getting my buffs to effect those weapons. The Vektor rifle being the hardest. I have been exploring it and even pushed an update but I don't believe I have fixed it yet. Thanks for your feedback :-)

Hello, in first words i want to say that the mod is great.But i have a problem with factionas weapons bullpup or vektor, it looks like mod don"t work on them but in config file it looks ok for me. Sorry for my eventualy bad eng ;p

Hmm, I thought I had but maybe I'm confusing updates I have made recently. I'll go check. I know I have had a lot of trouble getting my changes for the unique weapons that come on the reaper and the others frustrated me to no end. The actual chosen weapons that the player gets as a special reward must all be losing their buffs. The LW folks do a lot of special configurations to get the game to bend like they do and I've seen variables in config files get ignored all together and suspect they are hard coded.

Hey thanks for fixing the psi abilities but would there be any way to also modify the chosen weaponry?

I just pushed an update to fix the issues with the Psi abilities and also downgraded the alien grenades. Soulfire should now behave as expected. Please give it a try and let me know if you are still having issues with it and the other Psi weapons.

Hello, first the mod is great! I wanted to confirm that soulfire does no damage :(. As far as how the gameplay goes, no complaint, I had no idea how much i was going to need this mod when it came to my first retaliation mission. Only complaint is that this makes psi ops almost an afterthought with how strong mag and plasma weapons are. I looked around to see other mods for it but the base damage of those abilities could use some tuning or beefing up if that is possible.

ooo, not good. The LW folks do this a lot and it is hard to catch. They give an alien weapon to XCOM or the other way around. In fact sometimes both sides get them. Can you tell what kind of grenade it was if that is possible? If it is the grenade that simply called "Alien Grenade" then it would explain why you had a wipeout. Those nades are buffed up the highest as in the vanilla game they are the top tier grenade. Let me know. I'll check it out and definitely lower it. It's never a good thing when the green men get A Better Arsenal.

This mod also buffs some advent trooper weapons, specifically grenades. Might be an error?
Lost an entire squad to a purifier tossing one grenade

Some of the 40k weapons I have are in-conflict with this mod since damage values are in-correctly adjusted.

I'll take a look. I bet you are right and that its my mod.

Soulfire does no damage. Tested the other two a better mods and this seems to be the one that breaks soulfire.

For those who are interested I have put out "A Better Start" for Chimera Squad.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2077831303

If you have XCS then give this a try. I'll be coming out with a Lite version and then A Better Agent and A Better Arsenal all with Lite versions here soon.

LWOTC?


Naw i'm just play'in I know.

As they are not yet listing it on Steam it is tricky to find. Here you go: LWOTC.BETA.2 [github.com]

Make sure to load their required mods. There is a link to that collection on the same page.

Where is link to LWoTC? Can anyone give me linkto LWoTC? Pls)
