is this WOTC compatible?
HavocLordX 28 Apr, 2018 @ 12:57pm 
I have one request: Can we get a primary merc plasma pistol at some point?

k thanks... These guns are beautiful btw :)

Those are helmets from the Anarchy's Children DLC
WeaponisedMoron_2 27 Sep, 2017 @ 10:37am 
How do you get the helmet that the sharpshooter has. Do you unlock it later on or is it a mod?

Great stuff!

WoTC version. Only big change is that now you just buy the vanilla weapons and the game throws the Merc Plasma Weapons into your inventory, go get it, and have fun.

Eta on update?:)
Sumbi 9 Sep, 2017 @ 11:34am 
You did a good Job with the Merc Weapons! Just waiting for the update.
Willelmus 9 Sep, 2017 @ 2:22am 
I'd love to have this in WotC. Any chance to get a port?
Arkhangel 8 Sep, 2017 @ 9:01pm 
give the man some time. after all, he has several mods to go through, not to mention he's allowed to work on new stuff, and.. you know, have a life beyond modding. it'll happen. just be patient.
MT6 8 Sep, 2017 @ 2:40am 
please update this :steamsad: i just can't stand the ugliness of the standard plasma rifles and sniper rifles :epiczombie:
Deep Friar 6 Sep, 2017 @ 11:33am 
No
Avlaen 6 Sep, 2017 @ 5:13am 
does this work for WOTC?
Arkhangel 5 Sep, 2017 @ 7:01pm 
@Bone: yeah, honestly these look more like "Humanity made these, they're bulky as hell, but effective" rather than for some reason needing smooth clean curves.. which.. never made sense to me.
WrathTKL 5 Sep, 2017 @ 2:15pm 
I 3rd 4th 5th whatever a WOTC update for this bad boy!
Deep Friar 4 Sep, 2017 @ 5:07pm 
WoTC also seems to have upgraded Plasma FX, wonder if this will be taken advantage of
Blacktop15 3 Sep, 2017 @ 1:04pm 
Its not that their ugly, they just don't have much character. Kinda seems like we just stole the guns right from the aliens hands instead of making them ourselves.
Uziel 2 Sep, 2017 @ 11:04pm 
I would very much desire this to be updated to WoTC. I would very much desire this greatly! :) Plasma weapons in vanilla are so damn ugly.
CorgiLord 2 Sep, 2017 @ 10:56am 
Waiting to se eif you do a WotC update.
Blacktop15 1 Sep, 2017 @ 8:20pm 
Plz get this to work for Wotc! This is one of my favorite mods, and cant wait for a Wotc update!
Ash 1 Sep, 2017 @ 2:21pm 
One of my favorite cosmetic mods! Hope you'll make it work for WotC too :)
Rakirian 1 Sep, 2017 @ 9:10am 
I cannot wait until this mod gets updated for WotC ^^ its an amazing mod and is a must have for me! xD
Archer_VDK 30 Aug, 2017 @ 9:36pm 
will you did this mod for the WOTS?
Arkhangel 29 Aug, 2017 @ 3:26pm 
give the man some time. he's got several mods to go through. be patient. he only got the mod tools at the same time you guys got the game, after all.
spets 29 Aug, 2017 @ 6:42am 
+1 confirm this currently causes WotC to crash on startup
Kivipää 29 Aug, 2017 @ 2:41am 
Unsurprisingly, can confirm this makes WotC immidiately crash on startup. Hopefully the update won't be too demanding of your time. I greatly prefer your designs over to the base ones.
Claus  [author] 28 Aug, 2017 @ 6:34pm 
yes, of course i can't tell you how long it will take until the expansion comes out
rosariodoamaral 28 Aug, 2017 @ 5:30pm 
Is this Mod being updated for War of the Chosen? Spark weapons can be modded now by default.
Zyrrashijn  [author] 27 Jun, 2017 @ 7:18am 
exactly
Thor of Florida 26 Jun, 2017 @ 5:41pm 
No, I upgraded from the LW laser weapons to the plasma weapons, not mag to plasma. I think that's why the attachments haven't jumped to the merc weapons.
Claus  [author] 26 Jun, 2017 @ 3:57pm 
It's not a bug, plasma weapons upgrade magnetic weapons, so attachments from magnetic weapons transfer to plasma weapons, if you build the merc plasma weapons before the vanilla plasma weapons then they should take the attachments from your magnetic weapons. Unless i misunderstood and you did upgrade from magnetic weapons to my mercenary plasma weapons, in which case i dunnolol.

There is another alternative, if you grab RoboJumper's Xskin mod, you can just replace the look of the vanilla plasma weapons with mine, that's probably less of a hassle.
Thor of Florida 26 Jun, 2017 @ 12:53pm 
So on my next run through, just bypass or disable the laser tier and go from mag to Merc and attachments carry over? Sounds simple enough. Even so, could you possibly try to fix this little attachment bug?
Claus  [author] 26 Jun, 2017 @ 12:35am 
As for the weapon attachments, i could be remembering wrong since i haven't actually played the game in a while, but i think that if you have mag weapons and then buy the merc plasma weapons instead of the vanilla ones the attachments should carry over.
Claus  [author] 26 Jun, 2017 @ 12:26am 
@boisegangpc

Well i haven't done it, but i assume it's relatively simple. You'd just have to look at how the other weapon techs are done and pretty much copy paste stuff.
Boisegangpc 25 Jun, 2017 @ 2:32pm 
Hey, Claus! This is probably something I'll do much later, but how possible would it be to make a tech after Plasma that makes this a tier in and of itself? I've been using them as "T5" weapons(CV -> MG -> LS -> BM ->MPW) and redone their descriptions and stuff so they're "Ion" weapons(Ion Rifle, Ion Lance, etc.). I've no experience with modding via SDK yet, and I'm not sure if someone can make a tech that goes past Plasma).
Thor of Florida 25 Jun, 2017 @ 1:39pm 
why not? I mean, I got some good loot from the Grimy boxes and it'd be kinda pointless to have to redo thos upgrades on the Merc weapons when I can just buy the vanilla weapons. I'd like to use this mod, but if I'm trading it's abilities for a simple skin, then what's the point?
Claus  [author] 25 Jun, 2017 @ 1:29am 
It is compatible with the standalone LW2 mods, the attachments don't transfer over but that has nothing to do with compatibility, unfortunately it's just a limitation of how the mod works since the weapons don't outright replace the vanilla plasma weapons.
Thor of Florida 24 Jun, 2017 @ 3:54pm 
Question. When you say not LW2 compatible, I assume that this mod can't be used with the main LW2 mod itself, especially considering the laser and coil tiers it provides. However, I do have to ask if it's compatible with the standalone LW2 mods? When I go to build the weapons i have the option of doing the vanilla guns or the merc guns (I thought this was going to replace the plasma weapons entirely?). I have the laser pack activated as well and when i did the upgrade to the mercenary guns from the laser ones, none of the weapon attachments transfered over. What do?
Claus  [author] 4 Jun, 2017 @ 1:13pm 
Never heard of that issue before, no idea what could cause it except maybe lag? Sorry i don't know.
Richard 4 Jun, 2017 @ 11:07am 
I've got issue that some sounds does not sound properly with some weapons. Like with grenadier mercenary cannon. It sounds like It would be shot far away or in other room. It's too quiet. Or sniper rifle has this glitch too. I don't know what to do please help. :/
Claus  [author] 15 Feb, 2017 @ 8:11am 
@Enemt Infant Tree:

It should be.

@boisegangpc:

I'm not sure how to outright replace the vanilla weapons with these, but if you use the xskin system mod by Robojumper you should be able to simply replace the look of the vanilla weapons with mine without even having to build mine.
Enemy Infant Tree 14 Feb, 2017 @ 8:48am 
Is this compatible with Grimy's Loot Mod?
Boisegangpc 13 Feb, 2017 @ 1:34pm 
So, how to remove the base vanilla weapons?
2fishy 12 Feb, 2017 @ 1:19pm 
I am pretty sure it's possible.
