Description
This mod adds Musashi's Stealth Overhaul mechanics to bolt casters from Alien Hunters DLC, and allows any class that can use vektor rifles or assault rifles to carry them.

In order to facilitate that Bolt casters' weapon category is changed from "rifle" to "bolt_caster", which means they will not benefit from Assault Rifle breakthroughs anymore.

REQUIREMENTS

COMPATIBILITY

No known conflicts.

Does not require a new campaign start, but the mod will not take effect mid tactical mission.

CONFIGURATION

This mod is highly configurable through configuration files located in:
..\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2281795840\Config\

FAQ

Q: I don't want to use Stealth Overhaul, but I like the idea of having Reapers with bolt casters, can I use Stealth Bolt Casters just for that?
A: Yes, but you have to go through some motions first. If you try to use Stealth Bolt Casters without Stealth Overhaul your game will crash on launch. To avoid that, delete the following files or folders:
..\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2281795840\Config\Base\XComEditor.ini ..\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2281795840\Config\Base\XComEngine.ini ..\steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2281795840\Script\ (delete entire folder)

Alternatively, you can simply copy the contents of this mod's XComWeaponSkinReplacer.ini and XComWOTCOpenWeaponRestrictions.ini to configuration files from [WOTC] WSR Weapon Skin Replacer - Configuration and [WOTC] Open Class Weapon Restrictions Config respectively, and then unsubscribe from Stealth Bolt Casters altogether.

CREDITS

Thanks to Musashi for making Stealth Overhaul and making it configurable enough to make this mod possible.

I'll fix these eventually, but in general they can be safely ignored.

This mod seems to be triggering some errors about the weapon category "bolt_caster" being invalid for the AlienHunterRifle templates. The category displayed for bolt casters in game also has the underscore.

Don't Marksman use Sniper rifles? There's a mod that changes the bolt caster to a sniper rifle. Seems like that's what you want.

If I add a Tactical Suppressor attachment to the Bolt Caster, does the reveal chance decrease?

Very good

Thanks for the report. Should be fixed now.

Hello Iridar. I have all 4 submods activated but I get an Error at the startscreen inside the game. it says "wotc stealth crossbows missing required mod :(wotc) open weapon restriction....". looks like the dependencies are not correct named ?
