cool

It works for me perfectly.

Aww, wanted to use this for LWOTC :'(

Doesnt work with LWOTC

Will this work with LWotC?

but wait- in the Strategy overhaul bridge mod it gives it -6 to infiltration hours

Just in case anyone is wondering: while you cannot alter the stats (damage, aim bonus, crit bonus, clip size, etc) of this weapon directly, if you edit the stats for the vanilla Vektor Rifle then the crossbow will inherit the changes. I have done this myself and it works.

Is there a way to make this its own weapon category?

Is this a replacement or an additional option?

I think so yes.

Is anyone who can use a normal Vektor rifle supposed to be able to use this? Since the weapon type is "vektor_rifle".
I use the Profiency Class Reaper and can't select this. But I'm not seeing anything obvious I could edit either.

A beautiful mod but it needs a better firing sound effect. Sound is half the illusion.

xskin would work for you.

Is it possible to make this replace the bolt caster? Because, you know, it is a bolt caster?

would it be too hard of a mod to make Compound Bows for this game?

YES! Someone else who enjoys The OverEnglishMan!

Love this weapon! So much detail in the body of it...and it sounds cool, too; silent and deadly!

For those wanting to edit the weapon data for the crossbow, just edit the base Vektor Rifle stats in the WeaponData.ini

love this mod and its quiet sound of firing

idk why the weapon is unavailable in my game

Is it compatible with Grimy's Loot Mod, i.e. can it drop from the lockboxes in that mod? Just want to be sure, since that's a must-have mod for me.

Damage output is the same for both T1 and T2 I am using Magnetic and there is no change. Love the skin its sick just wish it had more ass.

is it possible to swap the firing sound out for something with more impact? i love this mod but the sfx is kinda unsatisfying

Thanks, it's mostly that these cosmetics are quite memorable since they're look good and can be used on almost every soldier.

Correct on all counts, Cyber. Impressive memory.

The legs, arms and torso are not from any mods (Reaper cosmetics) the hair comes from destroyer's female hair pack (sims4 sideswept, love that haircut) and the headset comes for one of the titanfall cosmetic mods (MCOR headset I think)

absolve my ignorance but i just started adding mods to xcom, which mod is the character model from as well?

dumb i can't make it have 15 ammo

Well, unless I missed something, I am getting 4 upgrade slots during last run :)
Not that it bothers me...

Headset is the MCOR headset from the Titanfall cosmetics and the glasses is the Thick Rimmed Glasses from the base game

Hey, enjoying the mod a lot - I love crossbow aesthetics.
If I can ask an unrelated question, what headset/glasses are those in your preview pictures?

Nice, thanks!

Basically all weapon mods are compatible with RPGO

Compatible with RPGO?

Yeah would be a nightmare it’s definitely not as simple as a bolt moving on a rifle. I wish you good luck!

Unfortunately no, I'd love to do it one day but rigging that sort of thing is kinda difficult

Oh sorry not soldier animations but mesh animations, like the bolt holding part slings forward when you fire?

They just use the normal rifle animations

@HotChocletyLez

Congrats on the mod, the crossbow looks amazing!

Just wondering do the crossbows have animations? Firing, reloading etc

So this is just graphical right it will work with other mods like the Musashi rpg overhaul?

почему нельзя изменять характеристики оружия? почему нет такой функции/ может стоит добавить имя оружия в файл XCOM/ WEAPON DATA.ini

Why not change the characteristics of the weapon? why there is no such function / maybe it is worth adding the name of the weapon to the XCOM / WEAPON DATA.ini file

Hi, I know this would be a bit more work, but could you give us an option to have these as non-cosmetic and expose the weapon stats to config? I'd love the idea of making these a sort of weaker, stealthier boltcaster sidegrade for the vector rifle.

Also, thanks for great mods you rule.

Alright good to hear.

Ooh ok. It's working now, thanks for the help!

"vektor_rifle" is a weapon type, not a specific weapon. Removing it from the reaper's allowed weapons removed their ability to use any vektor rifle weapons, which the crossbow is one of. Follow deadput's instructions instead

You need to go to DefaultGameData.ini in the base game config and find
Loadouts=(LoadoutName="SquaddieReaper", Items[0]=(Item="ReaperArmor"), Items[1]=(Item="VektorRifle_CV"), Items[2]=(Item="Reaper_Claymore"))

Switch out VektorRifle_CV for CrossbowVektor_CV and you should be good to go, no need to disable base game Vektor rifles and I probably wouldn't just in case of any weird bugs.

I love this mod, I'd like the reapers to use the crossbow by default, is there any way to do this ?

I edited the DefaultClassData.ini file like this :
[Reaper X2SoldierClassTemplate]
;AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon, WeaponType="vektor_rifle")
AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_PrimaryWeapon, WeaponType="CrossbowVektor_CV")

It didn't work, reapers appears without weapon. :/

Ah just want to let you know there is a typo in the localization of the tier 3 Crossbow

"bolts have been upgraded with an fusion enhanced bolthead."


It's nothing major or anything I just came across it while looking in the files, thought I'd let you know.

Of course there's no vanilla, this is HotCHOCLETYLez we're talking about, not HotVanillaLez!

Lame jokes aside, this is awesome, thank you for this!

I like this, once again good job Lez
