WAR Suit Provides Bulwark

Description
- Removes Shieldwall from the WAR Suit.

- Adds Bulwark to the unit instead.

Note that this is always active unlike Shieldwall. It also works better, unless you fixed Shieldwall by modding because it's not implemented correctly.

-= KNOWN ISSUES/TECHNICALITIES =-

1. Crit Vulnerability
You are just as easy to crit as you are when not covered, this is by design.
You should seek the LW Perk "Resilience" to paliate this.
The WAR Suit provides emergency cover to other units, you are not a walking indestructible cover machine (See: Spark)

2. Half cover
When you take cover behind half cover, you are behind half cover, not full cover. This does not increase cover around you that already exists.

3. Bonus armor
I don't think giving 1 point of armor to the WAR Suit is overpowered, but if you need to you can reduce the game's war suit armor rating to compensate.

4. Enemies taking cover
Yes, you are unfortunately considered cover against yourself (just as the SPARK does). There is no way to fix this in this mod. I am currently hoping -bg- implements this check in the next EU AIM Rolls mod and makes cover void at point blank range.

If you'd like this to be implemented, you can make the request here. Be polite and don't harass.

-= COMPATIBILITY =-

No overrides.

-= LW2 COMPATIBILITY =-

I don't foresee compatibility problems, but then again I don't see the point of using this in LW2 since they probably have made the suit better. I'm erring on the side of caution, don't use it.

-= REQUIREMENTS =-

DLC3 must be installed.

Im not making any future mods as im not playing anymore sorry

Hey, could you make a mod that does the opposite of this and replaces the sparks bulwark with shield wall? While yes bulwark is obviously better, I feel like its a bit unbalanced and I would like it if sparks would have that ability instead, also enemies using my spark as cover is getting old. (However i would like to keep the extra Armor thank you)

Lol if one thinks about it, it's kind of a dick move-

"Hey buddy you're armor's good... I'LL USE YOU AS COVER!!!"

I can see issues with that, as far as game slow down and processing. Other than that, I kind of like the idea. But that might just be me.

The problem with the animation is that if i enable the effect, it is going to be on -all the time-.

Sentenryu beat me to it. Was hoping for the animation.
Juravis  [author] 13 Jul, 2016 @ 3:57pm 
@Sentenryu Thats probably feasible
