Description
So the point of the rocketeer class is pretty straightforward. I like rocket launchers, and thought why not try and make a rocket launcher class. Iridar has made a pretty amazing Rocket Launcher mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1775963384 this mod is compatible with it and can used it. If you don't download it well the class can use the long war 2 Gauntlet instead. All the perks in the Anti armor tree can work for both the rocket launcher or the LW2 gauntlet.

GTS Perk:
1. Long Haul: Soldier gains +2 movement speed (which help reduces the movement penalty from carrying rockets by a small amount).
2. Salvo: Same as vanilla Skill.
3. Kinetic Plating: Missed shots against you grant you a small amount of Abative armor.

Weapons:
Primary: Bullpup rifle, Assault Rifle
Secondary: Iridar's Rocket Launcher, or the gauntlet (the one from LW2.)

Rocketeer Abilities
Squaddie:
Heavy Armaments (Allows soldier to use Gauntlet.)
Executioner (improved crit chance and aim on weakened targets)
Gun Bash (Dash up to a target and Strike them with your primary weapon.)

Also Added a new class called the burner.
--Burner Class info--

GTS Perk:
1. Melee Resistance: "The soldier takes 2 less damage from melee attacks."
2. Walk It Off: "After taking damage, gain 4 ablative armor through the end of the next turn."
3. Quick Patch: "The Soldier can quickly provide aid to an injured ally. Can be done twice a mission."

Weapons:
Primary: Bullpup rifle, Cannon
Secondary: The gauntlet (the one from LW2.)

Burner Abilities
Squaddie:
Heavy Armaments (Allows soldier to use Gauntlet.)
Berserker (Confers +5 aim and +10 critical chance when you are missing Health.)
Momentum (The soldier gains more dodge as they charge across the battlefield. If they moved in the last turn, they gain bonus dodge chance. Grants 15 dodge.)

Download this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1370543410 if you think the latest update broke your game. It gives you a console command that allows you to rebuild a soldier's class.
rebuildselectedsoldiersclass AlphaRocketeer 1-7 (The numbers represent the soldiers rank 1 is squaddie). there all problems you might have from the update for older soldiers in now able to be fixed.


If you like this class mod, go give my other ones a look. They all add an interesting theme and feel to them.

Thanks to Favid, shiremct and Iridar for all the work they have done to help make this mod work.

Is it compatible with LWOTC?

How doable would it be to just have the rocketeer class enabled? Is it possible through configs or would that require its own standalone mod?

Guys, do i really need to install LW2 secondary weapons for this mod to work, or my lwotc can just replace it?

oh awesome! i'm sorta new to the workshop for XCOM, don't have all the terminology nailed down. Cheers!

(LWOTC-requiring mods also usually have [LW2] or [LWOTC] in the title instead of just [WOTC])

It doesn't, the LW2 Secondary Weapons mod (and other LW2 backports like the perks/classes mods) were made specifically to port some cool LW2 content back to the base game.

If something actually needs Long War itself, you'll see a requirement for either "Long War 2" (non-WOTC, e.g. REALLY old) or "Long War of the Chosen".

does this require Long War itself, or can it run on vanilla WOTC? I'm guessing it needs LW

ah ok, that makes sense. I haven't played XCOM 2 in a long while so I was probably used to the old version. Well anyway it works now so thanks for the mod :steamthumbsup:

@Mr.Person its been a requirement for probably over a year. The original version of the mod used its own little wrist rocket item. However after Iridar made his rocket launcher mod I made the LW2 secondaries a requirement since many of the perks from that mod boost the power of iridar's rocket launcher.
