@Shaggoth Thanks, will look into it. Got one of them killed during a last stand mission of the sorts and wanted to do one of those headcanon stuffs where they passed on the mantle to the next person.

yeah with editing their class ini file, but i dont remember exactly what it was, you need to google stuff a bit. keep in mind they're very op compared to normal soldiers, you may ruin your game

Is it possible to give their job classes to regular units or at least repeat the event that they spawn in via console command?

Is there a console command for spawning these guy in to mess around with?

@LJMiranda eventually you'll get a mission to save him (or he'll appear eventually in the prison break mission if you have that mod installed) and it'll fix the bug of looping between getting the sitrep that spawns raiden/sam then immediately after the next mission getting recaptured

ah ok cool i'll probably use gts only trainable classes in conjunction to make sure random soldiers don't spawn with it

There is 2 lines in each class numindesk and numforceddesk, something like that... Look at mod ini files, if you change it to 4 and 4 they'll be like regular xcom classes. Available everywhere.
You can also google xcom2 modding discord and ask there ) rn I'm on the phone and at work. But I strongly encourage you to try ini modding. Search for Stukov not-a-modd. Dude makes incredible stuff with just ini editing :) and welcome to not-a-modding

is there a way to make another hero unit using Raiden's unique class spawn (it fits perfectly for Gray Fox)

why is sam causing stutter everytime he move

Raiden was captured by a Chosen in my Game. However, I don't see any covert operation to rescue him and the game give me a brand new Raiden in later missions I do.

bloodletter not effective ,bug?

good news ) i'm changing back to ARC_Sam_Body then :]

I changed the archetype name of Sam's torso in his squadmate mod from "ARC_Sam_Body" to "ARC_Sam_Torso", but this mod never updated to reflect that and is still trying to call the old name, which of course leaves Sam with no torso. I'm fixing this as we speak by re-naming it back to the old name, so it should be good a few minutes after this comment's posted.

Do their swords ever upgrade? I've just got arc blades and Sam and Raiden's swords are quite weak by comparison.

Line 80 in XComContent.ini needs "ArchetypeName="JetstreamSquadmate.Archetypes.ARC_Sam_Body"" changing to ArchetypeName="JetstreamSquadmate.Archetypes.ARC_Sam_Torso" to fix Sam having an invisible body.

Raiden and Sam just lost all their clothes, they are just empty when they appear, although there are mods for customizing them. How can this be fixed? ps on the basis of customization also does not work, there is no choice of torso and arms with legs

If anyone figures out a way to fix it plz post it here. There is an entry in xcomcontent.ini but i doubt it can help it is probably compiled in source files.

Yeah i get the same invisible body it definetely has to do with the cosmetic mod being updated... Big bummer

his cosmetic mod has been rescently updated, i'm pretty sure that could be the reason

Sam body is invisible for me too. Is it a bug?

sam mod update made his body invisible :| or is it just me?

could it be caused by installation of soci bridge mod?

Hmm, I'll take a look through the mod again, I swore it should just shut off once it detects that you both have sam and raiden recruited...

so now i have 2 raiden entries with different abilities, but they count as one, if i'm dismissing one, for example. or if i rename one of them, they both change name.

i had weird thing. sam joined my party by just spawn and wait for his turn. then after few battles, raiden just spawned, and in a next few battles, another raiden joined the team __with__ auto kills.

oh wait he spawned now.. litterally within 10 minutes of making this comment.. huh O.o..... wonder why he took so long compared to raiden v.v... like 20 battles later lol...

prettty sure he shoulda showed up by now..? maybe worthwhile to just make both em like the doom mechanic but give sam to skirmisihers and raiden to reapers so we have an actual path to getting them since doomguy already is done with templars.

covers all three factions so no matter wihch ya start with, ya can get a hero unit out of em besides the faction soldier :D without having to rely on something not breaking to randomly spawn sam/raiden

so... Raiden spawned and it was awesome, entered the battle an automatically killed 2 enemies for me. simply amazing.

i'm roughly 40 battles into xcom now and still haven't seen Sam, starting to get worried <_<

Missing sword bug with True Primary Secondaries should be fixed now.

i have some extreme enemy mods, and therefore was trying to make those classes randomly available, plus made 2 chars and added "use my class" mod. but seems like classes what are not under "Soldier" character type, just don't get added to the game. is there any other way i could force game to randomly apply this class to promoted rookies? i want them to be very rare, since they're op, but still possible

@Blaze it's caused by True Primary Secondaries

Think i found a minor compatibility issue with Multiple faction hero mod. Raiden spawned twice. Anyway to prevent this and leave MFH on?

So, Sam is spawning without his sword, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why. I'm using True Primary Secondaries, the sword *110% exists* because I have used a debug command to *give* him the sword mid-mission. At this point, it's the principle of the thing. I need to figure this out and I'm out of ideas short of Ye Olde "disable half my mods and see if it works, then reduce by halves from there", and I *really* don't want to resort to that.

ITS ME THAT SPITE AS I STAND UP THE ONLY THING I KNOW FOR REAL

is this compatible with additional mission types redux?

Recently finished a run and had no issues running these guys with old Primary Secondaries, for what it's worth. They do get insanely powerful, though -- I ended up axing them because they were pretty much solo-ing entire maps even with modded enemies. Entirely fitting to the lore, but definitely something to be aware of going in!

Very cool characters otherwise, though! Thanks for all the hard work.

now we need senator armstrong enemy :D

Finally, Raiden showed up for me. He have a launcher on his arm and it's bulky.Can it be removed?

So this sitrep procted on a Covert Infiltration... Err... Infiltration mission and while Raiden showed up, My squad vanished. I start with only the agent afforded from the volunteer army sitrep. I cheese the mission hoping that they'll show up and they didnt. Raiden promoted. but my squad that I sent is supposedly still in infiltration for ..... 0. not 0 days. Just 0. Anyone know if theres a way through console commands to force return them?

I am at force 16 but they haven't spawn for me yet until now.

damn. i don't want to revert to the old version. but at least now we know what happened :)

Bug with true primary secondaries. Works fine with the regular version tho. True primary he spawns without a main weapon.

It seems I missed sitrep for Sam, is there a way to force spawn him?

Is it normal for Raiden to spawn with a gun and for Sam to spawn with two unusable blades? Right now my Sam is walking around with an imaginary rifle

I tried replacing Sam's primary blade, but after doing that, his original primary blade just disappeared.

Sam needs said punching ability more than Raiden since Raiden spawns with a gun, even if he doesn't spawn with a sword.

man I wish steam allowed you to edit comments, but im starting a new run. Gonna see if they spawn in with their weapons now, but what did you think about my idea of giving them a punch ability?

Yo, disabling the rocket launcher mod worked! I was only really using Disposable Rocket Launchers anyways, which dont cause any issues.

Re: the freezing, two things

1) Does this still occur if you do melee attacks via right clicking on enemies when the sword icon appears instead of through the ability bar?

2) If you are using Iridar's rocket launchers mod, does the freezing abate if you disable it? (I realize this sounds like a really weird suggestion but I am being serious with this particular suggestion)

Yup they always spawn without a sword even when I edited the ini file for them to spawn with the original ranger sword like the author noted. I don't mind that part since right after the mission you can equip their sword. It's the constant freezing for me. It's got to the point where I only take Sam or Raiden on supply raid missions to take advantage of their 4 AP moves to mark the boxes. Only rarely attack with them in case I really need to lol.
