Can you please make it compatible with WOTC version?
GameAcc 21 May, 2019 @ 4:13pm

3D Master 3 May, 2019 @ 1:02pm 
So, will this get updated for WotC?

@Angel of Chaos You’d have to make your own version of the class. I forget how you do it off hand, but I know there is a template on how to make a class in the workshop. I think it’s by Richard, but don’t hold me to that. You should just need to follow it, but making sure to use asset compatible with WOTC. Once you you’re aquatinted with the basics, you can probably peek at something like the Akimbo class to get an idea how to make a class like that. (More so when the mod it’s based on supports duel pdws, since Tracer’s pulse pistols haven’t been ported yet, to my knowledge.)

Is there a way to add Tracer's Chronomando class itself to the game for WOTC? I'd love to fix it so I can have her in game, even if I can't do the mission. I found a way to make it so that certain custom classes don't show up randomly, only on those that come from the character pool. It would be nice to get unique units like her ingame.

This mod is semi compatible with LW2.

That means it works normally, it won't delete your game or mess up your files. The problem is that you can't use pistols as a secondary in LW2 thus meaning Tracer's pistol skills will just have her point at the enemy and will waste an action. Also Tracer doesn't have the three slots for equipment that most soldiers do. She has the standard one and the with medium armor 2. That is all. Vigilo Confido commanders.

Is the reason this hasn’t been updated in part because Tracer’s Arsenal hasn’t been updated?
aegis 29 Mar, 2018 @ 7:35am 
can you spawn the mission mid campain with console comands
What's An Airport? 27 Jan, 2018 @ 8:48pm 
Is this Long War compatible?
Limskaya 30 Dec, 2017 @ 3:44am 
I love Overwatch, I hope to have this mod with WotC so I can finally resume my campaign and save the Earth with special characters like Tracer and Genji =)
mylittleborkie 15 Nov, 2017 @ 11:38am 
Okay, so I (kinda) found a fix. You can use console commands to set a soldier's class to Tracer's by going 'MakeSoldierAClass "Lena Oxton" TracerClass' and you could essentially make your own Tracer without needing the mission to show up! The only problem, though, it that while Recall and Salvo are given right off the bat, it never gives you Blink. Which is, well, a lil' bit of a problem. Is there maybe any way to force add a perk to her by using cheats or something like that?
mylittleborkie 12 Nov, 2017 @ 11:31pm 
Tracer doesn't seem to be showing up for me. Does anyone know how to force add her to your armory (or by using a cheat, maybe)?
ChaosMadeFlesh 25 Sep, 2017 @ 6:26pm 
Now that Tracer was ported to WotC as a squadmate, will we have her mission ported too? Please say yes. To this and to any other extra mission giving me Blizzard members). Please, please, please, please, please. :D
mynameactually 5 Sep, 2017 @ 9:58am 
Since they've got a Mercy out already, think you can do something like this for her?
Also, it would be interesting to have Overwatch as a new faction that you can do covert ops with, and tie these missions with faction standing. With certain characters requiring certain levels of standing before they can be recruited, rescued,etc.
BoomWolf 29 Aug, 2017 @ 3:48am 
So, with WotC out, now its time to ask-is the mod compatible with the changes in the new DLC?
LoneDigger 1 Aug, 2017 @ 9:00pm 
So I've run across a pretty major issue while playing with my Chronmando. The Pre-emptive Fire ability (pistol fire at any enemy targeting Tracer) went off vs an opposing Stun Lancer, and then went off over and over and over until the Lancer was killed. I haven't had the ability trigger any other time, so I don't know if that is just a Lancer related bug or if it's an ability related bug. I'll try and see if I can replicate, but I'm guessing it's an issue with the way that Lancers and other melee enemies "target".

Other than that, the mod is awesome. I love the pistol path and although Tracer is a bit OP, it works out once you start downloading other difficulty increasing mods lol.
Insufferable Smartypants 20 Jul, 2017 @ 4:48pm 
It should work (Genji does), but she still only has a 2 skills per rank. I'm not sure if her pistol sidearm is buggy or not due to LW2 making pistols regular inventory items.
Dave_El_Jefe 20 Jul, 2017 @ 4:30pm 
Does it work with Long War mod?
teh1archon 12 Jun, 2017 @ 3:18pm 
Like @Boanerges asked, is there a way to add her manually? The mission never spawned to me in all of my runs even when starting a fresh game with this installed. Genji's mission didn't spawn this time (but it did last time) and the game asked me if I just want him to appear in the Avenger. Any chance that tracer could get the same treatment?
Boanerges 21 Apr, 2017 @ 7:51pm 
Is there anyway to use the console to force-add her to the Avenger? I'm fairly far into my current LW campaign (and probably won't want to start another for quite a while once I'm done this this one) but I'd like to be able to use the character. If not, then not, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
Insufferable Smartypants 11 Apr, 2017 @ 10:43pm 
She's not built like a regular soldier. Basically she's a custom race. The Allies Unknown aliens all suffer from this.

You can change her stats with Grimy's Console Mod.
GreatGreenGoo 11 Apr, 2017 @ 8:36pm 
How come consol commands dont work with her? Like SetSoldierStat eStat_Offense 75 Lena Oxton?
Insufferable Smartypants 7 Jan, 2017 @ 2:39am 
Is there a SpawnTracerMission command? :-)
RealityMachina  [author] 6 Dec, 2016 @ 4:49pm 
@arkenor That's intended behaviour (basically the game checks whether it should activate a DLC mission as you prepare to go on a mission, and if it does, it prepares to spawn it afterwards), it just should be playing the cinematic afterwards.
Arkenor 6 Dec, 2016 @ 4:33pm 
Removed both your mods, and it still happens, so my guess is that it's a vanilla bug. The Shen's mission seems to be triggering while I'm actually on a mission. Is that even possible? At least it's always there when I come out of the mission my last save is during, and it wasn't there before the mission.
Arkenor 6 Dec, 2016 @ 4:05pm 
Ah well. A missing cinematic is hardly game-breaking anyway. It just took me by surprise to see the Shen mission on my geoscape without any fanfare.
Ser Lancelot 6 Dec, 2016 @ 3:50pm 
Confirmed that BOTH the DLCs loaded fine for me with BOTH Investigation Missions loaded into my current campaign.
Arkenor 6 Dec, 2016 @ 3:50pm 
Perhaps it would depend on which comes up first? At any rate, the Shen's Last Gift mission popped in early May with no cinematic. Not had Tracer or Shimada yet. May well be nothing to do with your mods, but they did seem like the most likely suspects!
RealityMachina  [author] 6 Dec, 2016 @ 3:47pm 
@Arkenor Shouldn't, I definitely had Shen's Last Gift fired fine with the Shimada mission fine, and Tracer is built the same way.
Arkenor 6 Dec, 2016 @ 3:17pm 
Would either this, or your Shimada mission, be preventing the Shen's Last Gift introductory cinematic from firing?
Oddza 31 Oct, 2016 @ 4:51am 
Love it, very well done! Thanks for your work!
olibriusorigami 30 Sep, 2016 @ 4:31pm 
le chonmando est magnifique, j'adore

Squaddie: Recall & Pre-Emptive Fire
Corporal: Lightning Reflexes/Hunter's Instincts
Sergeant: Hit and Run/Lightning Hands
Lieutenant: Implacable/Quickdraw
Captain: Agression/Cool Under Pressure
Major: Bring'Em On/Face Off
Colonel: Untouchable/Fan Fire


P.S.: Would be really cool if she would be able to dual wield pistols. And every action or skill that is a shot gets a shot from both pistols. I know it is hard and I am possible dreaming about it but we all know you got the skills to do it.

P.S.2: I don't know if they are consumable or not, but for soem reason I have more than 40(!) Pulse bombs sitting at my inventory right now.

P.S.3: Tracer is not able to rescue civilians or activate devices.

Thanks for your work!
Nitewolf 28 Sep, 2016 @ 9:12am 
First, I gotta say the mission is ok as it is. Its slightly harder than a normal concil mission, and it is very fun to be able to use Tracer as soon as she gets released from the truck. Well done here.

After getting her to Colonel Rank, time for feedback.

I really like what you did with the stats. They really reflects the "real" Tracer, fragile, but very mobile. The higher mobility compensates the lower max HP. Good job. Although, the aim is too low. It follows the aim growth of a vanilla grenadier, capping out at 75. It is too low for a class based on a pistol with all the medium and long range penalties the weapon has. Vanilla gunslingers are sharpshooters, with higher base aim and aim growth when rank level up compared to grenadiers. I think it would be a good idea to mimic the aim stats of a vanilla sharpshooter.
Nitewolf 28 Sep, 2016 @ 9:12am 
About the skills. The squaddie skill is what define the class. Rangers gets Slash, Sharpshooters gets Squadsight, Grenadiers get Launch gGrenade and so on. Tracer has Salvo, does not define her in any way. Being able to launch the Pulse bomb and keep an action is fine, but it is something done only once per mission (maybe 2 if you brought a grenade, but missing ammo on a class based on pistols…). Recall is a great and unique skill. Make it the squaddie perk.

Run and Gun is completely unnecessary. She is already too damn mobile. I would suggest replacing it with something more gimmick like Hit and Run from the LW Perk Pack. Fits better the play style of Tracer.

Serial and Chain Shot does not belongs to the Chrono Assault skill tree. Tracer is about pistols. I would replace them with Evasive from the LW Perk Pack and Cool Under Pressure. I would also ditch Salvo for Aggression (also from the LW Perk Pack).
darkzero 27 Sep, 2016 @ 5:33am 
@Nalivai I use them both. No issues.
Nalivai 26 Sep, 2016 @ 2:10pm 
Is it working with Grimy's Scanning Sites Plus? Alternative launcher doesn't show any conflictes, but both mods messing with scanning, so I wonder.
dongus 26 Sep, 2016 @ 6:48am 
Overwatch is AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS.
Dreyfus0414 23 Sep, 2016 @ 6:58pm 
I never new that the alien hunter and shen's last gift custom missions could be modded. Cool!
Immhotep 23 Sep, 2016 @ 12:51pm 
alright, thanks
RealityMachina  [author] 23 Sep, 2016 @ 5:41am 
Immhotep: it has to be a new game.
Immhotep 22 Sep, 2016 @ 9:58pm 
Question: Can I get the mission in an existing game or do I have to start a new game to get the mission?
darkzero 22 Sep, 2016 @ 2:59pm 
I meant assigning it to a rookie. The option is there Chronomando. Guess I'll just have to try it in game and see.
Skyfall 22 Sep, 2016 @ 2:43pm 
@darkzero I just saved her and she was rank 3. Commanders choices doesn't let you reassign if a solider is higher than rank 1.
darkzero 22 Sep, 2016 @ 2:33pm 
Love her to death. Quick question though... If I use commanders choice to assign her class to someone else..will it cause issues?
Coyote 22 Sep, 2016 @ 12:38am 
RealityMachina you make great mods (:
You are one of the few who actually deserve donations imo.
