[Classmod] The Alien Hunter

-- The Alien Hunter --
-- A class mod for Long War 2 --
-- by DerBK --

-- v1.01 --

[REQUIRES EITHER LONG WAR 2 OR THE LONG WAR PERK PACK]

The Alien Hunter fills a niche role in the Commander's roster. He can use all rifles, SMGs and swords, but is best used with a Boltcaster and/or the Hunter's Axe.

His squaddie skill, "Raise The Stakes", allows for an automatic free reload after every kill. The combination of this skill with the Boltcaster is one of the foudations the class stands on, this is further expanded by other perks along the way.

As far as stats per rank is concerned, the Alien Hunter follows the same path as the LW2 Ranger. He can use heavy armors like the EXO suit, however he can not equip heavy weapons like the Shredder Cannon.

The Alien Hunter packs a lot of punch, but will require the cream of your equipment to fully use him. His power comes at several tradeoffs, like dealing with expensive equipment that is available in limited quantities. Due to it being unpractical to have a lot of them in your roster, losing one will hurt. A lot.
Also, don't lose your Boltcaster or Hunter's Axe on a mission. Sure, most perks work even with your regular swords and guns, but the Alien Hunter loses a lot of his punch that way.

This mod is designed to be used with either Long War 2 or vanilla XCOM with Perk Pack. Obviously, the mod requires the Alien Hunters DLC.
