Description
Amalgamation: SpecOps Specialization(Secondary)


This mod adds a new Amalgamation secondary spec called SpecOps which can utilize a SpecOps Combat Knife, Ninjato, Combat Knife or a Sword. The SpecOps Combat Knife and Ninjato share the same stats and grant the Silent Takedown ability which has a 3 turn cooldown and can only be activated when concealed. The Ninjato, along with the Katana and Wakizashi, comes from the WotC Katana Pack Reloaded mod which is not required, but highly recommended.

The SpecOps spec is basically my port/version of the SpecOps Class from Musashi to Amalgamation, which specializes in silently sabotaging, deceiving, confusing and killing his enemies. This spec at squaddie starts with BackStabber, Swordslice and Phantom with KnifeJuggler being static at the rank of Corporal. If you wish to use Throwing Knifes, you'll need to Research Advent Officer first before the tier 1 Throwing Knifes are available to purchase in Engineering and equip in your soldier's utility item slot. Also, the SpecOps class is disabled.

Acknowledgements:

Musashi for making one of my favorite class mods - Wotc SpecOps Class.
TePª and H4ilst0rm for the awesome Amalgamation Classes Mod. It's been a lot of fun designing and testing new specs for Amalgamation.
To the other spec/class modders for whom I have learned a tremendous amount peaking under the hood. ;)
All the perk pack modders seeing that my spec/class mods would not be possible without them.
Ketaros and EvilBob22 for the amazing class/spec icons.
And finally, to everyone in the XCOM 2 Modding discord community for the guidance and much needed help.

Dependencies:

Popped up! I have now 2 spec ops 2nd spec. And the mod works, i can use Combat Knife, Ninjato, Combat Knife or a Sword. Also, thank you for the tip.

@poemedia First, thanks for your kind words and for using my mods. Second, it depends on how many other specs you are using during a campaign. For example, if you were ONLY using just all of my spec mods, there would be around 32 class combinations with a 2.66% chance of an appearance vs. a Gunslinger which is much higher at around 12-13%. And third, yes, you can change the spec's exclusions which are in the XComAmalgamation.ini file by adding or removing the ";" for each "+IncompatibleSpecs=" line you want. Make sure to save a copy in case the mod gets updated which happens quite frequently. Hope that helps, good luck Commander!

Hello all. First of all, thank you for the nice mods you do, Drumax, giving new life and purpose to this amazing game. I started a new campaign, just to be sure, but i don't seem to get this class. I even activated 12 classes to be shown as selection (in choose my class). Is it that rare to appear? Can i change this? Thank you.

@Bastymuss Cool, thanks and good luck Commander!

I'll try it out then, thanks for the reply.
I really love your amalgamation classes.

@Bastymuss Busted in what way? It's been working for me during my testing and before when I used the class. Yes, it's usable but some perks may not work as intended.

isn't stealth overhaul busted though? is this usable without that?
