Not this mod because it has nothing to do with EXALT, your probably looking for the mod by Cloista that renames MOCX stuff to EXALT.

I'm trying to found out where the 'EXALT Long Lance' weapon is coming from. Anyone have any ideas?

@Deadput Looking at the folder, is all I need to do is copy your template changer, and put in the weapon template to be replaced and its replacement.

man imagine if they spawn in the same pod as bio troops

Most of the time, I look at the torso, helmet, and color, and the green hunter seems iconic now due to it spawning more than the Sniper.

Yeah there's no issue with using both, their compatible and now the two have different models (Hunter has belts and pouches, Sniper does not) so their not entirely identical.

i use both,
just wanted to point out there is a similar unit in black, if there is a problem with the green colour

Ah it was more so a comparison of the quality of the mods in comparison rather than self depreciation but thank you for the words all the same it is appreciated.

@Deadput, Hey don't put yourself down, I as much as everyone in this community appreciate you taking time out of your day to bring these creations to the community. I know you bring up the Claus comparison but to be honest, sometimes less is more. I like Claus's enemy mods even though sometimes I believe the look of some of his enemies are a tad overboard, like the custodians shoulder pad being awquardly big, but its a personal expression just like yours and it doesn't diminish the work either one of you has done:)

Yeah for all intents and purposes, the Advent Sniper is probably the definite Advent Marksman for quite a few people, and it did come out first with vanilla and is likely the inspiration for the Advent Hunter much like how the Advent Priest in WOTC might of been inspired by another vanilla Advent mod, the Advent Priest mod.


It just so happens that the cut content unit here so happen to be Firaxis's take on the concept that simply didn't see the light of day.

For me these Advent Hunters are my personal pet project, out of all the mods I have made for Xcom 2 the Advent Hunter stuff is the stuff I am the most attached and proud of, even if their not as big or unique as say a Claus enemy unit.

use the advent sniper mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1126501968 , its a black sniper, who is supported by iridars new weapon aswell

@Deadput, Your right, that's a fair understanding:)

I get not liking the colors themselves of course but I'll never understand the Advent color palette stuff when the Hunters are brought up.

I mean, orange wasn't a color in Advent's roster till WOTC with the Purifiers or gold until Priests and Advent chests, Firaxis color rules aren't really that static, I just don't get the "It doesn't fit the roster" when not only is the General around as well as Advent reporters having green, but these textures were going to be used anyways so Firaxis clearly thought it was a part of the roster.


Their not hiding anyways, their Hunters who are hunting Xcom with their only intended mission being in map types with heavy green fog, no Advent or Alien unit has camouflage at all or hide for that matter besides the Chosen Assassin and burrowed Chryssalids.


I'm open to anyone making new versions of the Advent Hunter colors, it's not "my unit" or anything I just used the textures from the files.

See, I would download the Advent hunter mod, but I've never been a fan of the strong green. It just seems out of place with the ADVENT colour palette and a sniper in strong green trying to conceal them self (due to being a sniper) seems counter productive haha:) If there was a mod that changed the Hunter's colour, that would be cool.
