LW2 Jaeger Class

This mod adds a custom class called the Jaeger.

The Jaeger is a class based around the concept of a versatile rifleman equipped with an Assault Rifle or SMG and a Combat Knife as secondary weapon. The Jaeger can also equip a Shotgun for increased effectiveness at close quarters when necessary.

The Pointman side of the ability tree focuses on leading the squad from the front when not concealed and builds around the Jaeger’s squaddie ability First Contact which gives the Jaeger a 25% chance of taking a reaction fire shot against any enemies as they are revealed. The rest of the abilities on this side of the tree help the Jaeger close with the enemy and improve First Contact with extra damage and an increased chance of triggering.

The Light Infantry side of the tree moulds the Jaeger into a rifleman who whilst not as durable as the Ranger on the frontline will thrive on the flanks. The Jaeger can stay mobile with Stamina using Death From Above and Low Profile to maximise positioning, provide accurate and reliable firepower with Rapid Fire and Headshot whilst digging enemies out of high cover with Designated Marksman.

The centre of the ability tree provides some utility abilities along with some abilities to maximise the Combat Knife both for protection with Combatives and brutal melee damage with Twist the Blade.

The perk trees are listed below with descriptions added to any perks made by myself.

As usual I would like to thank the Long War 2 team for obvious reasons.

I’d like to thank Xylthium for XmodBase which was a huge help when it came to making new abilities and which I recomened to anyone who wants to make a custom class. Also Favid for his perkpack which included a perk that Bounding Fire is based on.

Lastly and possibly most importantly for the creation of the Jaeger I would like to thank Shiremct, creator of the Field Medic class. His coding genius was absolutely vital for creating the Spearhead and Lookout abilities which build on First Contact. I could not have created these without his help so this it is hugely appreciated.


I hope people enjoy using this class and I welcome any feedback on bugs or balance.

I’d also like to note that I made this class mainly for my own enjoyment initially as I wanted something a touch different from the LW Ranger. If you have played with either of my other custom classes, the Operator and the Jackal then you may notice some overlap in terms of abilities and/or function between the classes. I have one more custom class in mind which I hope to make which is a bit different to these three and after that I intend to revamp the Jackal and Operator in order to release the four classes as a single pack. Whether I will get that done before the release of the expansion and how the expansion will affect custom class modding in terms of LW2 though I don’t know but we will see.
