does this work with Long war of the chose?
Big Brother Max 13 Dec, 2023 @ 11:04am 
This mod still working with the new Long war Community version?

I was messing in the Config files and now I'm not getting ANY lockboxes, after having plenty in the beginning of the game. Can anybody point me to the file I (probably screwed up) to make this happen?

Does anyone else get massive lag on the strategy map with this mod on?
SabaraOne 25 Jan, 2022 @ 2:46pm 
Correct. Anything more complex than a voicepack made for non-expansion XCOM 2 is virtually guaranteed to not work with War of the Chosen

Is just for LW2 into vanilla not for LWOTC
starlancer 25 Jan, 2022 @ 12:35pm 
If you're playing a not english version of this game , just make a new folder for your language as I did for the FRench (so FRA) Edit all files one by one and save them into your language (for me as FRA) So I've the original one in INT and I've a another subfolder as FRA.
I've the box in the research list.

Alas, doesn't work with LW2wotc 1.3. Xcom won't even start :(
SabaraOne 15 Aug, 2020 @ 9:40am 
I'm working on LWotC, but I'm currently halted because there's no Src directory and the UE Explorer does something stupid to the code that breaks Winmerge. Any chance of seeing the actual code please? There's a pseudo-patch for LWOTC but it doesn't support upgrade tiers.

Using Vanilla LW2 w/o WotC. Have we figured out how to change the frequency of Lockbox drops?
Postmo 16 Dec, 2019 @ 4:00pm 
it's not on the workshop but it's been out for a while
Shavy 27 Oct, 2019 @ 7:13pm 
@Postmo Dafuq? Since when?
Postmo 28 Sep, 2019 @ 10:35am 
Hey, LWOTC is out, any chance of getting an update?
Online Addict 13 Jun, 2019 @ 1:18am 
I could probably look through the 8 pages of comments made to this mod, but I figure it's worth a shot in asking.... what ini and what fields do you modify to change the frequency of the lootbox drops? I know it''s been posted but that's probably been years ago. LOL. Can anyone help?

Worked well throughout LW2 campaign. Though obviously can easily be op, but for example mixing legendary or other extra challenge mod can work. Because this mod enables for example very juicy grenade launcher mods, allowing to carry 6-10 nades at best in the grenade slot. That could mean you can bring grenadiers to where they usually wore out their welcome too fast. Just remember to keep all those alien data caches for rushing the best lockboxes (ethereal/orange).

Ethereal is not independent of tech level. It seems to produce 4 mod slot weapons and one of the mods is orange.
Online Addict 15 Apr, 2019 @ 4:59pm 
No clue. I haven't reached Ethereal yet. Lol
The13Inquisitor 10 Apr, 2019 @ 7:59pm 
Just a query about Ethereal Reliquaries: Do they drop gear independent of your tech level?
Online Addict 26 Mar, 2019 @ 11:34am 
It drops lockboxes that has loot in them, like special weapons etc
mtnranger7 24 Mar, 2019 @ 2:42pm 
what does this mod do
Online Addict 18 Mar, 2019 @ 11:06pm 
Okay, one more thing and then I'll stop disturbing this thread. I noticed that the requirements for this mod have "changed" slightly. It says that it needs WotC MCM yet it doesn't show WotC as a requirement. Do I need to download WotC MCM or am I okay with the Legacy MCM? Also, is there an MCM for LW2 specifically? I've tried searching for it, but I'm coming up empty. Thanks!
Online Addict 18 Mar, 2019 @ 9:42pm 
I've had more than a few missions already and have yet to receive a dropbox. I've counted 8 loot drops in all and none of them are dropboxes. I guess I have to sift through the INIs to locate percentage/chance/frequency for the drops. Any suggestions?
Online Addict 15 Mar, 2019 @ 7:58pm 
I forgot. Where do you edit the frequency of loot drops? Or is the default values often enough?

Shaggoth (Ищезаяц) 28 Feb, 2019 @ 5:34am 
use mcm for lw2
pseudocalm 27 Feb, 2019 @ 9:33pm 
Why would you name this mod long war 2 version, and then have a dependency that is a WOTC mod when long war 2 doesnt work with WOTC?? And then not mention anything about it in the description? does this work with the legacy mod config menu?
DocIdiot 28 Oct, 2018 @ 10:54am 
single upgrades sundenly stopped dropping in timed loots, if anyone has an idea why that could happen, please share it.
kothlon2000 22 Oct, 2018 @ 7:40am 
at the end of the game only legendary must appear, i think.. it is more reasonable.
and just openning it in UI is better than researching like diabllo3

I mean.. it is good to make the xcom2 like rpg game for example destiny
Slye_Fox 11 Oct, 2018 @ 6:41am 
I didn't know I had to use this version of the loot box mod till after I got a pistol.
Is it possable to convert/edit that pistol to work(it currently is not equipible by anyone)?
Harrylad45 5 Sep, 2018 @ 8:13pm 
does this work with the unofficial battle rifle exspansion?
MrChooChooHead 29 Aug, 2018 @ 6:07am 
Playing LW2 i have never had such a sense of pride and accomplishment before
Shaggoth (Ищезаяц) 14 Apr, 2018 @ 2:12am 
@wymsic look 4 comment below yours, damn
wymsic 13 Apr, 2018 @ 6:00pm 
This mod title should be modified to say WOTC rather than LW2; as a primary requirment is the WOTC DLC. For those of us who still haven't gotten WOTC but are running LW2 can't use it.
Puremagi39 11 Apr, 2018 @ 11:00am 
seems promising but im not going to use this mod until it is finnished. Does anybody knows around when we can expect a finished version ?
{OG}Vash 7 Apr, 2018 @ 3:23pm 
anyone know how to add the repeat research button to wotc? Or is that a LW2 specific option?
Shaggoth (Ищезаяц) 10 Feb, 2018 @ 10:30pm 
..anyway just use search and there's legacy version
Richard For Ponies 10 Feb, 2018 @ 3:51pm 
Problem here... The 'mod config' this links to has been updated for WOTC, which Long war 2 is incompatible with, while they re-released a legacy version. My game started crashing on startup after I tried to add these together, and I suspect it has something to do with changes there.
Imperador Pedro II 31 Jan, 2018 @ 2:24pm 
Only i think this lootboxes could be opened by engineers in the proving ground?
Darkwombat 19 Jan, 2018 @ 10:05pm 
I'm about a dozen missions in to a new LW2 campaign and not a single loot box has dropped. Have had plenty of loot drop, but no loot boxes. A few Grimy's items like liquid explosives, etc, have dropped -- just no boxes. I know the drop rate was reduced, but I am concerned that they aren't going to drop at all. I do have loot boxes showing up in the black market, but just not seeing any drops like I used to about a year ago when I was using Grimy's on my old campaign. Anybody else running into this? Any leads on a fix for it? Or do I just need to be patient or get past a certain point in my LW2 campaign?
Rakdarian 31 Dec, 2017 @ 5:49pm 
I dont get hunter armors?
aarnold 29 Dec, 2017 @ 1:48am 
is there a way to increase rate loot boxes that are dropped?
Rakdarian 13 Dec, 2017 @ 5:35am 
Is this compatible with loot pinatas?
Oldhip 3 Oct, 2017 @ 7:11pm 
Shame this isn't kept up anymore, stopped working for me in LW2 I get one drop in first mission and then no more.
ImJustJoshin 26 Sep, 2017 @ 9:12am 
Or mess around with Long war 2/Shen's last gift Configs to add slots to the spark weapons
ImJustJoshin 26 Sep, 2017 @ 9:11am 
You need the help of another mod for that. The base game DLC does not permit you to ever add upgrades at all. I suggest the Moddable DLC Weapons mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=717783955
Patricius MCMLXXVII 26 Sep, 2017 @ 8:26am 
Does anyone know of a way to pull upgrades out of, or put them into, SPARK gear that drops from these boxes? I'd love to de-quip the upgrades from older gear and install them in newer researched armor or guns or new drop ones, but the button is greyed out for me when on the SPARK character screen.

@Ellros:
Because guby (who made MCM) updated the existing entry to WoTC and Grimy's not modding XCOM 2 any more so hasn't updated this mod.
Ellros 25 Sep, 2017 @ 3:43pm 
If this mod is for Xcom2 Long War.... why does it now say a required mod is the WOTC version of MCM?!? Aren't those incompatible?
Dragon32 23 Sep, 2017 @ 4:44pm 
@Major Chafe:
There was a bug that sounds like that, but it was fixed in LW 1.5 ( 5th bullet [www.pavonisinteractive.com]). Is that the LW2 version you're using?
azairvine 23 Sep, 2017 @ 4:33pm 
I picked an alien pistol the other day but the graphics and animation aren't present in the game. Is this because I don't have the necessary expansion? I'm not sure if it qualifies as "Alien Ruler" loot. A pistol doesn't look too "ruler-like"
BlueRaja 11 Sep, 2017 @ 11:12pm 
Mod Config Menu is no longer the correct required item. Please change it to https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1122831824
