Ammo belt

This mod adds the Ammo Belt utility item. Any soldier equipped with it can spend an action to reload a nearby gunner's cannon.

This allows you to keep the gunner on offense by sacrificing another soldier's action, essentially creating a machine gun crew. This is especially important for Long War 2, since ability-based gunners have to reload almost every time.

Ammo Belts campaigns are free and automatically added to existing campaigns.

CONFIGURATION

By default, Ammo Belt:

• There are unlimited fees.
• No cooldown time.
• Don't end it.
• Cannot be used when disoriented.
• LW2 style mobility penalty is 1.
• Can only target LW2 Gunners and Vanilla Grenadiers.

All this can be configured in "Config\XComAmmoBelt.ini".

Non-configurable settings:

• Cannot be used while burning.
• 1 watt range.

compatibility

This mod should be compatible with almost everything. It was made with the Long War 2 Gunner, but it will also work with the Grenadier in vanilla XCOM 2, you can edit "XComAmmoBelt.ini" to be able to target all classes with it. Ammo Belt works by reloading the primary weapon, so it can also be used with any modal weapon.

If you are using this with vanilla, make sure to disable mobility penalties in the "XComAmmoBelt.ini" file.

KNOWN ISSUES

• Mobility penalties are not displayed in the loading UI.
• Several Ammo Belts can be equipped at the same time, but they will have separate cooldown times and costs.
• Can be used even if the target already has full ammo.
• Ability descriptions always mention Gunner, even when used on other classes.
