smh my head :)

"Use this mod if the thought of enemies shooting back at you scares you terribly."
which i am, so yea thx

"Set these to something else than true or false to possibly crash your game in fun and exciting ways." - DerBK
It's the little things like this that crack me up!

Hold me I'm scared

:D

Good thing that doesn't happen in ABA!

as a baby, I prefer not to have the mec prime one-shot all of my soldiers every time it is hit and instakill my squad ON MY TURN

"Use this mod if the thought of enemies shooting back at you scares you terribly" yeah ok thats a fair assessment of who i am

as someone who is not a fan of ruler reactions to begin with i appreciate this

very nice mod thanks!

Thank you for making this and directing me to it, you're a gem. :)

After all my other added difficulty mods, Prime Reactions seemed ridiculous, but it was pretty easy to counter with careful use of overwatch.

Then I killed a prime during it's reaction and it soft-locked my game.

Now I never play on Ironman, and I never play without the console, so I can fix little bugs like that myself on the fly, but removing the mechanic altogether is safer and more stable. The title of this mod gave me the impression it would otherwise weaken enemies, which I didn't want, but after reading the short description I was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't read the name properly and thought this was a mod to add literal Baby Advent to the game.
I'm inspired now.

I just completed a WOTC campaign with 104 mods including this one. Worked perfectly.

I always disliked reactions on the primes, not just because I feel it was overpowered and illogical (just my opinion), but also because when I then used mind control on the prime, it could bug out when the aliens then attacked it.

Now, on returning to XCOM2 after a long break playing other games, and considering if I wanted to use the ABA mods again, seeing this was the incentive. I've now re-subscribed ABA, Campaign Plus, Militia, DLC, Missions Plus - and this one to turn off that one thing that always grated on me.

So, DerBK, although you may 'roll your eyes' and 'take your shower', *chuckle*, I will join the list of people who will actually thank you for this minor correction to an otherwise great set of mods. Cheers!

This is for people who don't want Prime Reactions.

The Primes shooting back are like the fun of all of it. Why remove Prime Reactions?

I feel personally attacked

@DerBK

Fair enough, and in that case maybe I will try modding it myself sometime in the future. Thanks for the response, and again for releasing this side mod as well

> Also is there any chance to see this mod expanded

Not by me, making this mod in the first place already caused some serious strain on my visual nerves from all the eye rolling.

But as usual with my mods, anyone else is free to do with them as they please, including expanding and reuploading.

Also is there any chance to see this mod expanded upon to be like the ruler reactions revised mod, in which you could define what types of actions the enemy has a reaction to, as well as their percentage to do so? I feel it could turn the prime reaction into a more varied and dynamic mechanic, with each prime alien having vastly different behaviours, and the option to mix those behaviours up each play through

Duuude thanks so much! This is just what I was looking for!

Thanks for the much needed option to mod the prime mechanic, I dig the sassy thumbnail too

Aww, I see.

You do you, just wanted to say ABA is essential, congratulations!

> That means you're coming back to XCOM 2 modding?

Nope, just wanted to knock out one of the last thing i get bugged about a lot.

Also would liek to suggest you to update A Better Campaign to make each type of Prime to spawn in the last battle against the 3 avatars in their respective reinforcements pods/gateways

That means you're coming back to XCOM 2 modding?

I would god damn love if you could add a Faceless Prime and update the Specte Prime and Chrissalid Crawler models (Spectre has no distinct skin and Crawler would look better with Legacy DLC pale-white skin)

LOL WTF wont use this mod but holy shit is the name funny

Ahh, the easy-mode-mockery is real. <3 (No lie though, I might use this next time I fire up the game with ABA active. I'm not an all-star player, and I'm not ashamed to admit it)

@Dawn: this wasn't April fools. he's genuinely just annoyed with pansy-ass whiners :P

IDK DerBK, I play using both strikes for epic drawn out skirmishes.

Though, I have the tendency to airlift out if I see a sectoid prime, THAT thing is insane to handle.

A nice late April Fool's present. Normally not a fan of 'easy mode mockery' but since players are actively modding to make the game harder then complaining about said mod being too hard... I feel it is warranted here.

DerBK you legend haha, thanks for all your mods, even this one.

Author is salty XD No biggie, Prime reactions make it fun anyways.

Never had a prob with Prime units here. Course, then again, i tend to go in knowing full well what I am (or could be) up against and I've a veteran of a lottt of XCOM campaigns, including three LW1 and about five LW2 ones. XD

Well, there are legitimate uses for the mod.

Like making Beta Strike work with ABA, someone might want to disable Sectopod and Gatekeeper Prime reactions there.

Or they may have gotten a visit by their 6yo niece that wants to give the game a go because its so colorful.

Both are scenarios where i wouldn't blame them (much) for giving this plugin a whirl.

I'm genuinely curious and don't know how to say this without sounding like I'm boasting, but I've always thought XCOM1 and 2's biggest problem is that the early game was way harder than the pathetically easy late game where you get super technology that crushed the aliens easily. So I installed a heap of lategame difficulty boosting mods while adding mods that make the early game easier. Even while on Commander with never-ending dark events, loads of late-game hard mods and ABA2 included, it's hard but still manageable. I feel the primes by themselves are still not quite enough to make the late-game hard or at least harder than the early-to-mid game, so I'm actually quite surprised this was so requested.

if people cant take a prime reaction (or three) they shouldn't be in ABA at all. Its that thrill of hearing a Sectopod on the map and going wait did i see one on the list or not and then wondering if i bought enough to manage it.

I see. Just wanted to make sure you were alright. I know how people can be with requests, and how stressful that can be.

I used the tag 'Nsfw' and ended up here. Please explain

All is okay, just knocking out the one recurring request i get weekly.

I may not like it, but it's something that people need/want and it only takes me 10 minutes to do, so i figured 'why not'. At least i got something to link to now in place of a longer reply.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mate, are you ok? Ya seem a bit... off-kilter? You need some help or anything?

You okay dude? Wanna talk about it?

i don't see why you got steamed enough to make this mod

I am going to take a shower now.
