Thanks. It seems like the Bruiser cannot equip pistols as a utility item. And the Bruiser's skillset is geared to having that pistol as a secondary weapon. So they are stuck with the basic revolver. I guess the class is broken for LW2 unless there is some way to fix it.

Your best bet is to switch the secondary pistol with something else like the arc thrower.

@Zippy Frack

In Long War 2, pistols are now utility items, not secondaries, so you can't upgrade them.

Running this with long war 2 and it won't allow me to upgrade the Bruiser's pistol? He can only use the starting pistol but not laser or mag pistol. Is there a fix for this? Also like others have stated you can't fire the pistol after using Gunpoint.

Is this going to be updated for WoTC?

I am really hoping for a Long War 2 update. I've been having to use a different class for one of my saved soldiers who was awesome with the class. it just isnt the same.

Hoping for a LW2 update for my favorite class. Using it now precludes the pistol shot after Gunpoint, which effectively castrates thw class :(

@GrimyBunyip I really hope you update this mod for LW2 / LW2 Perk Pack. I don't look forward to the early game without my bruiser carrying my ass.
