["clip sizes for all weapons were jacked to 33 with a raise to 6 on previously single shot."]

Were you smoking cannabis when you wrote that (And into the code)?

5? Cool. 7? Op ,but cool. THIRTY THREE?

I had to go into the .ini file just to edit it all back to Vanilla so i could use my Extended Mag attachments. I cant even get through 33 Turns of shooting if i tried. There simply inst enough enemies even if you missed like 20 turns worth of shots.

Other than that, this mod is absolutely perfect you are my adorable child and i love you for this mod. Thank you.

Does anyone know how to get the mobility bonuses to work for the armors other than light? I've tried changing them in the ini files, but they aren't showing up in game

how can I add the star wars and halo weapons to this mod? It sucks having to use vanilla weapons for the weapon boosts

cheat mod

Check the DIY section in the details/description above. You can edit the file and change the clipsize for shotguns to what works best for you.

Is there a way that the shotguns could hold a more realistic amount of ammunition? 33 is fine for a rifle but 8-10 is better in a shotgun.

I accepted Erysch, I'll try and help where I can. :)

Hey I added you because I got a question about modding. Would you please help me, senpai? ;/

WOTC Compatible versions of my A Better' MODS have been released!!!

A lot of additions were made by WOTC that made upgrading a few of these a bit more tedius.. I'm looking at You, A Better Arsenal!

Thank you all for your patience. In the interest of getting these out ASAP I didn't get to do the full amount of play testing that I would like. Please send me your feedback. (please refrain from commenting that these mods are too OP as that is their intent. That said, if I didn't dile back the LITE versions enough then pass those notes along.)

--- A special thanks to reCLUsive7 for sponsoring this work.

Links to new mods:

+ A Better Start for WOTC | A Better Start for WOTC(LITE)

+ A Better Rookie for WOTC | A Better Rookie for WOTC(LITE)

+ A Better Arsenal for WOTC | A Better Arsenal for WOTC(LITE)

Just had awesome subscriber gift me the DLC so that I can get these mods updated. You can thank, reCLUsive7 for his sponsorship of the update of these mods. What a crazy cool XCOM gamers community we have!

An additional shout out goes to Spartan A291 and Force2reckon for their generous offers to pick up the DLC for the cause as well.

I expect to get WOTC compatible version of this mod within the next 2 weeks.

Haven't got the DLC just yet. So no new updates in the near future.

is this WOTC compatible

for the perk pack you will want to use the LW2 versions

Hey, any chance of upgrading the Alien Hunter Armors too?

If all I have is the LW2 Perk Pack (so I can use a few custom classes) do I need A Better Arsenal Vanilla, or A Better Arsenal for LW2? Same question for Start and Rookie actually.

I do like this mod as the only OPness is the weapon themselves, and only works if the soldier know where the barrel is pointing and if they hit. I never used your other mods as, just by looking at them, is just straight up OP.

Beside, it lets me to understand the strategic field of LW2 so I can go back to not using this once I know how things works.

I know that feeling, i just retured from a trip.

I'll revisit the mod and see what I can do. I'll be away on international travel for a bit so it may be a while before I get an update out.

Coilguns for Lw2 are not made by pavonis, take note of that please.

No, i mean for the long war weapon packs like " Lasers for LW2 " , " SMGs for LW2 ", (Unofficial) " Coilguns for LW2 ", that sort of thing.

I only modified the weapons your soldiers can work with. I left all of the alien weapons alone to keep the advantage pro-Xcom!

The weapon packs, not just the original long war two.

Can you make a version of this for the long war weapon packs?

@DeLiWrAp... i found the file just wandering where is the number value to change to make them usable since their even weaker than the base game weapons

does this also give the aliens weapons more dasmage?

@scuba steve i've been using notepad++ that way i can save a back up of my custom ini and easily just copy and paste my settings if the mod is ever updated, i've found it simplifies things when i'm changing mod ini's for other games, just never too sure about messing with xcom as it's a fragile game balance.

Hey DeLiWrAp, that's awesome. Once you start modding the ini's you probably realized how easy it is to do this. The only downside to hacking a subscribed to mod is that if or when the mod is updated by the author it will overwrite your changes. You can do a dance to move the mod files to a location that keeps this from happening however its a big pain and plus you will miss a possibly cool update. What I used to do is make a copy of the ini file with a ".xxx" extension. Then when an update comes you just merge it back in... Still a pain but it somewhat easier than making your own mod of the mod... (aye, but once you learn how to make a simple .ini file mod you cackle at the new power)

bradley.mcconnon, yep its a known issue. It's nature of how the setup occurs for a rookie's first mission. What I can deduce is when the rookie comes under your command and prior to a mission they are given a standard ammo amount. Simply perform a reload and for the rest of their tour they will join a mission with full mags.

This also especially happens if you activate this mod on a saved game where rookies have existing guns and ammo loaded.

@scuba steve ^^ i've already adjusted the other mods to fit in with the changes, figure it was better to do it myself as i may learn something new :P

I'm having an issue where all guns, though the max clip size is correct, at mission start only has as many rounds as the original long war mod. Anyone else having this issue? Known issue?

No patches that I know of have come out that would cause it to stop working...

On the request to modify the halo reach mod, DeLiWrAp you will need to hit up the the mod owner. Even if I did add elements to mod the halo guns likely that mod is newer and would override anything I put in. What you can do though is check out the ini file on my mod to see what I changed and then edit the ini file of the Halo reach mod to up the weapon stats and the like.

Did a patch come out that made this not work... i played a few hours ago and then had to do an errand and now its not working

@ostalius: I use the halo reach and halo 5 weapon packs, any chance that i can get that modified .ini from you ?.? ^^

Thanks Ostalius for offering this.

For those who uses Mass effect Weapons, Halo reach Weapons, Oblivion Gun, and the L115 Sniper, can ask me for the ajusted .ini files so that they can be as good as the default weapons in this mod.

How can I apply this to downloaded weapons? (Mass Effect weapons,Halo Weapons)

I thought I had. I'll double check and see if I can get it in. Thanks for the feedback.

I have a small and simple request could you include pistol and primary pistol (from the mod) in this mod?

Thanks Error_404 for the catch. I've updated the mod today with the increased clipsize for plasma grenades. It's now 3 like the other nades.

I must have missed that in the conversion. I'll take a look and get that updated.

Have I noticed plasma grenades are now 1, rather than 3

OOOH YEAH BABY!

nvm, cross-referenced w/ lite description

is there an ini file i can go to alter the clip size? i want this version while making the reload button useful

I have released a LITE version of this mod here, [quote] If you find this mod too over powered please check out a lite version, https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=862275801

Is this mod customizable in all armor stats like the mod "Armor Stat Customiser" from Raeli wich is sadly not compatible with LW2?

I'll be working on a A BETTA' LITE version of this mod and my others this coming weekend. As I have folks who enjoy the OP'ness of this mod I don't want to rob them of that option I'll build a new mod and leave this one in place. I'll post here when the LITE version is released.

would be perfect without the 50% weapon dmg increase

I'd want to see a mod who reduces the vanilla damage and increases the accuracy, because convential weapons are not so convential anymore in xcom, we're fighting with stick and stones and it seems wooden swords are stronger than steel.
