Stalker Class LW2

Description
Adds the Stalker to your LW2 experience.

The Stalker class is best suited for high mobility, small squad Ops. Be it through concealed reconnaissance, immobilizing high priority targets in a tactical retreat or rushing the enemy, taking them out from the flank. If trained accordingly, the Stalker may also provide spotting support to the squad by making use of the holotargeter.

Secondary Weapon: Holotargeter
Squaddie Perks: Phantom, Holotargeting

Design Objective
The objective was to create a class that 'fits right into the LW2 feel'. We wanted the class to offer several, equally viable, builds with the first few ranks setting the pace for each individual soldier. Stat boosts go with certain skills in order to add flavor to the specialized training. Hoping you enjoy the class and if you do, consider leaving a 'thumbs up' and/or feedback.
Cheers,
Mal & Richard

Mhm, might work if there is the SMG and the perks (which the class uses). But no guarantees, I actually have no idea :-)

Can i use this class with the long war perks, aliens, and weapons but without the long war 2 mod?

I thought they scrapped the development of the wotc port ,,òÓ_,, Seems I was wrong.
I'm so far away from xcom2 atm though... idk. But if somebody wants to do the port, just get in touch with me. Cheers. <3

Does anyone have news on the stalker class port for LWOTC?

Understandable. Still like the class and want to do LW2, but id rather face the chosen first right now. I do hope LW2 gets updated to Wotc soon. Maybe they are hiding it away for a big suprise. Who knows? Thanks for responding so quickly!

@Bonechewer1999 As it stands I don't find wotc very appealing (except for perfomance) and I still rather play lw2 when playing xcom2. However, if the community port of lw2 to wotc ever gets done, I will also port the class. Cheers, R.
