Are these guys noramal enemy?
They spawn from beginning of game.
They shoot from supar far, super high accuracy, even shoot and overwatch after moving.
Of course, high damage.
WTF is 7 damage in early game???

@mayrenise123
I think the Naga fills the role in LWotC.

Don't Long war of The Chosen have these guys already?

Granted, it can be easily tweaked, but I'm not sure why you would choose to give a long range unit more health than the standard ADVENT trooper.

Any way to get their armor?

Hello! I'm working on a large multiplayer mod that adds new units to MP. I would like to ask your permission to use the ADVENT Sniper model in it. I will be very grateful to you.

the avent snipers you get from resistance orders are always tier 1 snipers even when you reached late game, anyone know how to fix it?

This mod is compatible with Long War of the Chosen, correct?

But yeah some CI bridge mods for both the Sniper and Duelist would be nice ^^;;

I think the same can be said for your Advent duelist as well

@Dragon32
Oh, maybe CI needs a bridge mod to make the rifles single build. I forgot about that as I've set these up to drop Trooper corpses

alright I researched the sniper corpse and it didn't give me the harbinger rifle for some reason. I'm not sure if it's because of covert infiltration, weapon and item's overhaul or what have you.

@Kinsect
I don't see why not.

Does these work with A Better Advent and Covert infiltration modpack?
I know it works with the Weapons and item overhaul

Eh I like this mod but the Sniper rifle research and items it adds I find redundant. It adds unnecessary clutter to the items and loadout tabs when you already have other mods that add more interesting weapons. The unit itself is awesome and very tweakable in the files but I think I like the Advent Hunter mod a little better.

This unit is broken af. That rifle isn't worth dealing with these BS units

hey, can you make ADVENT Sniper'S WEAPON FOR XCOM TO... 1 AP WEAOPN?

I love the new enemy type this mod introduces but the Harbinger Rifle disappears for me. Not a big deal as I wanted the enemy type more than the weapon but it'd be great to have a fix. :)

@Dragon32
ok im pretty sure its fixed then
since iv substetuded the apropriate info in il know for sure when one of them shows up in a retaliation or an avenger defence.
shame since a retaliation literaly just happend in my playthrough
so ima gonna have to w8 a while

@aegis
That's it, yeah. So they'd never appear on the Avenger defence or retaliation missions.

@Dragon32
i think i fixed it
correct me if im wrong but did the broken version have them listed as units 6 (3 leaders and 3 followers) times on normal missions
instead of 2 (1 leader and 1 follower) time for normal missions, 2 (1 leader and 1 follower) time for retaliaions, and 2 (1 leader and 1 follower) time for the avenger defence

just curious to get a better understanding on how encounter lists work

*look into it

ok il look it to it if they seem to show up way to much

@aegis
Without changing things ADVENT Snipers are more common than they should be.

@Dragon32
what does the fix do
(im not that familier with the encounterlist ini file so im not sure if i can manualy fix it myself so unless the problem is very large il probly just have to live with it)

@aegis
Check this mod's last updated date in the top right.

Manual fix needed

@Dragon32
is the encounter list fixed or do we manualy have to fix it?

literally the most bullshit mod ever made for any game because i get merked by sub 30% shots every time by these fuckers and i love it

Hey, there's some more typos in XComEncounterLists.ini, the wrong SpawnDistributionLists are used, leading to the Sniper being added (again) to ADVENT lists rather than what it's supposed to be.

They're added to "AdventLeaders" again, not "TerrorLeaders"

Similarly, "AdventFollowers", not "TerrorFollowers"

Added again to "AdventLeaders", not "AvengerDefenseRNFLeaders"

And "AdventFollowers", not "AvengerDefenseRNFFollowers"

@Sorry Charlie:
Edit this mod's XComGameCore.ini

+LootTables = ( TableName = "AdvSniperM1_BaseLoot", Loots[0]=(Chance=100,MinCount=1,MaxCount=1,TemplateName="CorpseAdventTrooper",RollGroup=1) )
+LootTables = ( TableName = "AdvSniperM2_BaseLoot", Loots[0]=(Chance=100,MinCount=1,MaxCount=1,TemplateName="CorpseAdventTrooper",RollGroup=1) )
+LootTables = ( TableName = "AdvSniperM3_BaseLoot", Loots[0]=(Chance=100,MinCount=1,MaxCount=1,TemplateName="CorpseAdventTrooper",RollGroup=1) )

So they drop Trooper corpses, no autopsy.

Is there any way to disable autopsies for snipers in the inis?

You would need to edit the image in yourself using the mod tools (Which are in of itself a hefty download if all you want to do is that one changes)

as far as the UI image, I think the Darklance is a slightly closer match than the Plasma Lance. any idea how that change could be made?


for reference, here's the Darklance's UI image [orig00.deviantart.net]

Just spotted what I think is a typo in XComEncounterLists.ini

SpawnDistributionLists=(ListID="NoHardCCUnits_Leaders", \\

That line is missing the "+" which the others all have.

For those who have the rifle disappearing on you, or just want extra copies of the weapon try this console command


AddItem AdventSniperM1_XCOM 1
AddItem AdventSniperM2_XCOM 1
AddItem AdventSniperM3_XCOM 1

M1 to M3 is for the different tiers of the weapon so add whichever that you wish.

Do I need this if I have Better ADVENT mod?

My harbinger rifle disappeared and turned into a regular mag sniper. Juding by some of the previous comments, this seems to be reaccuring problem. Any fix?

Yeah, the Harbinger rifle tends to disappear on a whim, so it would be great to have a patch or at least a console code to get a new one.

My ridiculously expensive Advanced Harbinger Rifle vanished from my inventory and I am unable to craft any more.

This is an excellent addition, really forces you to adapt your tactics in a whole new way. Delightfully (un)fair that ADVENT have a long range unit too. The first time I met this guy I didn't even know he was there until he opened fire from outside my vision. Had to move quickly but cautiously :)

If you're going to add only a few unit mods, this should be one of them

Is there any way to disable Advent sniper weapon showing in Armory and to spawn as loot pls?

Is there any way to disable Advent sniper weapon showing in Armory and to spawn as loot pls?

@Thejac Yes on the second and probably yes for the first but I'm not sure.

Compatible with ABAI or ABA?

Love the unit, but the reward just isn't worth it.

Harbinger rifle costs way too much! How to make it infinite?

ABA?

really cool unit for ADVENT combine with other trooper mods for a real sweat-producing challenge.

@Farkyrie, could you give me the console code to use the additem on the Harbinger?
I think mine disappeared when i used the "Make Weapons Avaliable" button on the squad selection menu and my Harbinger was used by a soldier on a covert mission.
When I noticed my savegame was long gone.
