stable weapon

This mod adds stable weapon skills from Long War to XCOM 2.

illustrate

One of the most commonly used skills from the Long War, this mod allows all soldiers to use the Stable Weapon skill. Using this skill ends the soldier's current turn but provides a targeting bonus for the next shot.

If you are already in the middle of a mission when you first load this mod, you will have to wait until the next mission before your soldiers can use the Stabilized Weapons ability.

This ability uses the same logic as WAR Suit's Shield Wall, meaning if you move or use an offensive ability, the bonus will be removed.

Good combinations that are rarely used are Stable Weapon -> End Turn -> Overwatch -> Ambush, Stable Weapon -> Inspiration -> Attack, Sharpshooter Move -> Stable Weapon instead of Pistol

Configuration

You can edit the target reward amount this mod gives you in XComGameData_SteadyWeapon.ini. By default, the target reward is 20%, but you can change the target reward amount to anything you want by modifying the STEADY_WEAPON_AIM_BONUS = 20 line.

STEADY_WEAPON_DEFENSE_BONUS modifies the defensive bonus/penalty soldiers receive when using stabilized weapons. The default is 0.

STEADY_WEAPON_DISABLED_ARRAY determines the weapon class for which the stable weapon ability will be disabled. By default, cannon and shotgun weapons cannot use this ability. These can be removed/added to the ability to change what types of weapons cannot be used.

1.1: Due to requests, I've lowered the reward target from Long War to the original 20. You can increase this to 30 by editing the Config\XComGameData_SteadyWeapon.ini file.

1.2: Stabilized weapons are now disabled for soldiers whose primary weapon is a shotgun or cannon. You can re-enable it for any soldier in the XComGameData_SteadyWeapon.ini file. Additionally, another variable STEADY_WEAPON_DEFENSE_BONUS has been added to the .ini file. This value defaults to 0, but can be set to act as a defensive bonus or penalty when using stabilized weapons.
