About This Mod
I really love the looks and animations of the Vektor Crossbow. The only thing i really did not like is that it is in effect just a skin for the vektor rifle. So i changed a few small things with Weapon Skin Replacer

  • Damage Type to Heavy Damage also adding considerable pierce values and good crit damage

  • Clipsize 1, no environmental damage, 1/2/3 upgrade slots

  • Very short range

  • Removing some abilities added to Vektor Rifles from other Mods

  • added some abilities

About Stukov81-T.TV
I am a tiny streamer who has created some custom goodies for XCOM 2 using the tools other modders have created. I am sharing some of my ideas thanks to the encouragement of FearTheBunnies and the MEME Discord

Required Mods
really required are only Weapon Skin Replacer and of course the Vektor Crossbow Mod. For the additional abilities you would need Mitzrutis Perk Pack (1 ability at all tiers) and ShadowOps Perk Pack (2 abilities for MG and 1 for BM). [WOTC] XpanD's Abilities And Assets Mods adds just a Localization reminding you of the short range.

FAQ
Why not a different weapon category? Well ... boltcaster would have fit, but i have the nightsisters bowcasters there allready and after all the ARE called VEKTOR crossbows.

1 Ammo makes this weapon useless! Change things if you really like, but it felt okay to me.

Thanks
  • a mysterious being for his great encouragement!
  • Iridar for the TWeapon Skin Replacer which makes things like that easy
  • Xenesthis for the Vektor Crossbow
  • the MEME crew for enduring my constant questioning
  • Xymanek for his constant encouragements (Stukov should never have been allowed to XCOM2 modding)

I know, I get the intent behind it. Sometimes for the sake of a game, though, I feel you need to emphasize a few things. I'm not saying it need a bang, but at least a nice twang from the snap of the firing mechanism would be neat. I know, small personal quibble.

Well isn't that how crossbows are? I like the sound effect of the crossbows, it would be silly to have a very loud stealthy weapon
Zigg Price Apr 15, 2023 @ 4:04pm 
But does it have a sound effect for firing? I liked the idea of the crossbow, but it being so silent really just bugged me. I respect the idea of trying to make it different, though.

Well thank you Stukov for making this mod ^^
I've been wanting to use the crossbows for my reapers for awhile without them being a direct upgrade to the rifle

and now that we have crossbows for the reapers and psi bows for the templars I hope that we get a unique-ist weapon for the skirmishers ^^

Thanks for the kind words

@Kinsect - you have two things editing the same template in a non compatible way.

@Stukov - Fantastic work yet again, look forward to integrating this into our own work. Stonking idea Mon Ami :)

no idea what's happening in your game.
just tried it myself ... swapping with no crash, no delay
also it is just a config not-mod so should not lead to any crashing issues at all
Kinsect Apr 15, 2023 @ 11:47am 
I'm sorry for the trouble
Kinsect Apr 15, 2023 @ 11:47am 
It doesn't seem to be happening again, probably because I forgot to set a shield item mod to ghost templates but it is producing a lot of lag
Kinsect Apr 15, 2023 @ 11:45am 
Yup
