@Daddy Kaneki
OK, cool

@Dragon32

It was actually a mod launcher issue. I closed the game and reopened it, made sure the mod was active and it was fixed.

@Daddy Kaneki
It does so I'd guess you've another mod also editing the localisation entries for repeaters

Is it normal that this doesn't change the in-game tooltip of Repeaters? It still says 5% chance to instakill.

is this mod safe to remove mid- campaign?

@Epic Dovahkiin
Load order isn't really a thing in XCOM 2 modding. You could set locally installed mods to load after or before Workshop ones but that's about it for a mod user.

so i assume if we use the correct load order of this before TS it'll have a chance to retain concealment and crit damage boost or am i wrong? (also btw i absolutely LAOTHED the fact repeaters were instakill so better repeaters and TS are godsends of mods that change them in new and better ways)

Could/would you make a version of this for overwatch damage, like the Better Hair Triggers mod but for repeaters?

ah I actively go out of my way to not use repeaters. thanks to you & DerBK for this alternative.

@veehementia No problem, thank you for clearing things up.

@Bunbun Actually, I'm sorry, that was incorrect of me. My earlier comment stands, they can work together, but only with the proper load order or with the proper WSR configuration.

Sorry again - been a while since I modded XCOM 2 and got confused. Apologies.

@Veehementia Oh I see, I was reading the old comments and thought there was a way they could be used together. Thank you for the response.

@Bunbun There is no "possible" conflict with Tactical Suppressors, this mod is straight up not compatible with it. They both modify the same thing in wildly different ways.

Really want to use this mod but the possible conflict with tactical suppressors is keeping me from subbing. Don't really want to mess around with mods to have it in the right load order.

Hmmm... I am not sure if this is OP or not... but I am using it more now that before. Maybe because I like the idea of crit more than insta kill.

@Everyone Update: Fixed an issue causing Repeaters to still retain a 1% chance to instakill an enemy. Thanks to @h4ailst0rm over on Discord for the report and the solution!

Oh man this is great! Thank you!

great! thank you for the update!

@Everyone Updated the mod, hopefully now you should no longer get repeater executions.

Me too but was using a beam sniper rifle

Hm. Just got a repeater execution. Probably is a mod conflict with the "coilguns" mod that replaces beam weapons with coilguns.

Hey so, the repeaters still cause instakills for me. It might be an issue with using repeaters on guns generated from Grimy's loot mod's weapon caches since those were the weapons the instakills occurred with, a shotgun and a vector rifle. Although I think I remember it occurring on a standard assault rifle too which might've been TLE. I don't plan on using Grimy's loot mod in future campaigns anyway so I hope this is just a weird interaction between the two mods, although from the sound of it the TLE weapons don't have it too hot either.

I've noticed the TLE weapoons still seem to occasionally cause Instakills with this mod, anything you could do to look into fixing this?

Thanks for making this! I've wanted to use Better Repeaters for a while now, but that lack of Insider Knowledge kept me from it.

Praise be. If nothing else, the fact that Better Repeaters now respect Inside Knowledge is the reason this mod needed to exist. Thank you

@Veehementia
Oh, OK. That just changes the order mods are written to in XComModOptions.ini, the game doesn't follow the order they're written to in that file. That reordering functionality's been removed in the latest versions of AML as it didn't do anything. Wish XCOM 2 was more like other games and load order was simple for the end-user to specify

@Dragon32
Usually I use the AML to do that. Select a mod, under the "Inspect" tab, and specify the order number you prefer. I'm not 100% sure that works, tbh, since I have multiple mods share the same index... but the few times I had to specify the order it did work. So good luck, I guess?

@Veehementia
Have you found a way to specify load order? My manually installed mods load in alphabetic order and before Workshop ones, but Workshop mods seem to load in the order they were uploaded to the Workshop.

@Veehementia Thanks for the help, luckily had that load order already so worked out ok in the end

@CptnHappyTimePie
So to answer your comments:
1. Tactical suppressor is compatible only if you load my Better Repeater mod before it. Load it after and TS' suppressors won't have their necessary abilities (you can work around this by using WSR to re-patch them in, if you want)
2. Reverse for the Better Attachments mod; it has to load before my Better Repeater mod or my changes will be overwritten. And unlike TS, in this case you can't work around this via WSR.

@Veehementia to save the comments page, I've posted what I think might be a work around here:

Sorry for the comment floods

; Added 'A Better Attachments' below to test possible fix/intergration
+GlobalStealthWeaponAttachements=(AttachementTemplate=FreeKillUpgrade_ABB_Bsc, ConcealmentLoss=-15)
+GlobalStealthWeaponAttachements=(AttachementTemplate=FreeKillUpgrade_ABB_Adv, ConcealmentLoss=-25)
+GlobalStealthWeaponAttachements=(AttachementTemplate=FreeKillUpgrade_ABB_Sup, ConcealmentLoss=-35)

Forgot I added that to Tactical Supp's so that may be why they worked ok together

Sorry Veehementia, forgot to ask about Tactical Suppressors also :/

Was using it with the Better Attachments mod,all seemed to work as intended. Had to edit Localization files just to reflect both changes. If they are compatible, i'll just use your Localization file as a basis and edit that.

Don't know why the link below won't load :/ apologies

Veehementia, how would this work out with Better Attachments installed (https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1129253178&searchtext=better+attachments) since it has the original Better Repeater plus other attachment changes combined in one?

Thanks for the update, Veehementia. And thanks to DerBK for the original.

It's a god thing mods exist, because repeaters are fucking dumb.
Personally, I never use any weapon attachments since all of them break game balance in some way (looking at you, extended mag+banish), so I just treat them all like "generic sell trash" you see in pretty much every RPG ever.

Thanks

Nice thanks for this! I literally added this mod in my to do list last week. I'm happy someone else fixed it :)

Oh nice. Swapping this one in and disabling the old version!

Thank you very much :)

@gadrell There should be no issues, go right ahead.

Sweet! Any issues if I swap this for the old version mid-campaign?

Thank you all!

ty

Good job.

Awesome, thanks for the fixes.
