Suppressive Reaction Fire

Description
Lowers Will by 20, Aim 50 and Crit Chance 20 (ini configurable) of any organic unit (including X-COM!) interruptted by any reaction ability until the end of its turn. This mod tries to make defensive gameplay more viable and reduce the need to kill all enemies on your turn especially when they are too far to flank you. Although this mainly affects Overwatch, abilities like Blade Storm will be affected along with any custom abilities that are reactions.

Does this work with WotC ?

A soldier friendly or enemy affected if it receives a reaction shot in its turn, that is the shot doesn't have to hit, correct?

A very nice mod, I don't consider it OP because the Timer on most missions will force you to move instead of camping with overwatch, plus it also works when the ennemy does it, which happens often. Endorsed.

Is there a way to make this feature exclusive to the 'Covering Fire' Ability?

Otherwise this mod is massively imbalanced and really shouldn't be used, in my opinion. It's way too strong and incentivises you to sit in Overwatch all day - more then normal.

If you're looking to add this mod to your game, either open the .ini files and severely reduce the numbers, or do not use it until Condem makes a version that only affects 'Covering Fire' (if he is so inclined.)

@codem01 @Fortune's talking about adding "Covering Fire" to "Suppression", i.e. making its reaction shot be triggered by movement AND any other actions.

Really enjoying this mod! One thing I've noticed, is that when it procs during a reaction shot on Sectoids, the sectoid that recieves the suppression debuff "loses" their psi-zombies the same way they would if they got flashbanged. Not sure if this is intended, but it feels like it unbalances the Sectoids a bit.

I'm using Xylthixlm's Shadow Ops class overhaul mod, and this mod synergizes very well with it. I've noticed that it indirectly nerfs Lightning Reflexes (which works the same way as it did in EU/EW vanilla). You can still run an enemy's overwatch without getting hit, but your soldier suffers the suppression debuff, which is actually kind of a good nerf since Lightning Reflexes is a bit OP anyway. So I'd strongly recommend this mod for anyone playing Shadow Ops, as it makes lightning reflex a more tactically satisftying option, if that makes sense.

haha i forgot the most important word. a COVERING FIRE reaction shot, like supports have. too many times i see MEC's just blast me with grenades instead or, even more infuriatingly, have the suppressed target cancel the suppression by... shooting the suppressor. way i see it, the heavy is already actively shooting at the target with a hail of bullets/plasma, its not a huge logical leap to say they can just shoot the target the second they pop there head out to shoot, ala covering fire overwatch for supports.
