Proficiency Plugin : Gunslinger v1.5

Description
Update V1.5 please see change notes.

This class is built to fill 2 much requested gaps in Proficiency classes - Pistol based Gunslingers and Claymore users. To achieve this, it plays heavily into the Old-West Gunslinger/Space Cowboy archetypes, to make for a truly unique experience.

I did not want to make this reliant on Primary Secondaries/True Primary Secondaries, so I created a new primary Claymore, and have made all the 'shooty' perks work with the secondary pistol. It requires Templar Gauntlets For Soldiers Animation Patch mod to achieve the 'gunslinger' stance. As a result of this, the 'primary' claymore is VERY limited on ammunition, but the 'secondary' pistol, which is functionally the class' main weapon, has infinite ammo. Because of this, the perks that increase the weapon's damage are generally designed to be situational or cooldown reliant in nature.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The Gunslinger is UNABLE to be trained in the GTS, and has a reduced spawn weight for Rookie Promotions. However, a config has been added so Rescue Resistance Leader mod chain can award Gunslingers, up to a max of 2 in the barracks.

I just installed this class today, and one of my favorite pool characters showed up for Gatecrasher on my fresh campaign: Robert Calhoun, former Texas lawman turned anti-ADVENT vigilante. Robert got promoted after the mission...and rolled Gunslinger. It was fate. It was DESTINY. It's been awesome.

Having a lot of fun with the class so far. Don't be scared of the secondary pistol business. It works just fine, and looks just as cool as you would expect it to. This class fits right in with the other Proficiency classes. It seems well balanced, it picks up the Pistols/Claymore specialization that's missing from them, and it makes a great offensive counterpoint to the Phalanx if you want to play with that class as well.

Another excellent mod from some of the community's finest.

Further info for anyone else: Swapping Primary and Secondary in the config file worked just fine, however, it seems that the claymore is not automatically equipped on promotion to gunslinger. Fix is to just re-equip the pistol.

Secondly, some abilities may end up saying stuff like you fire back with your ClaymoreIED. This is fine, as it uses the pistol. However, I only tested this with the "Fastest in the Squad" ability. Others could be broken, i dont know!

okayyy lit. thanks for the replies, I am a bit clueless about the XCOM modding scene and appreciate the quick responses :)

If the ability is still showing you should be fine. Tbh I couldn't remember if i gave the ability to the weapon or direct in the class tree.
zayden 2 Jan @ 9:22pm 
After swapping primary/secondary, I see I still have the throw claymore ability and it works just fine. Is there something else that could be broken?
zayden 2 Jan @ 9:12pm 
Just to be clear, there is no way to make the character have normal pistol holding animations?
zayden 2 Jan @ 4:03pm 
I do see the vision of the quickdraw vibe, I was just hoping it was possible to swap the animations easily 😓
MrCloista  [author] 2 Jan @ 3:52pm 
Well yes, what was advised to make it use primary pistols, but doing so means you'd need to find another way to give it the Throw Claymore ability. It uses secondary pistol with secondary pistol animations deliberately, in order to evoke the image of an old-west gunslinger who is quick on the draw and who never seems to need to reload.
zayden 2 Jan @ 3:41pm 
Oh, poo. Is there nothing that can be done about the animations? It's the only thing I'm not a fan of.
MrCloista  [author] 2 Jan @ 12:16pm 
and by doing this, you've completely removed the ability to use the claymore. i created the class without primary pistols for a reason.
