Alternate Weapons For WOTC Factions

Description
Allows soldiers from the three WoTC factions to use a normal XCOM weapon in addition to their faction-specific weapon.

* Only use this mod when starting a new campaign. It will not work properly if you turn it on part-way through an existing campaign *

Skirmisher
Can use either Bullpup or Shotgun.
The shotgun does more damage, but ends your turn when firing.

Reaper
Can use either Vektor Rifle or Sniper Rifle
The sniper rifle does more damage, but takes two actions to fire.

Templar
Can use either Autopistol or Pistol.
They... have exactly the same stats. But it does mean you can use unique pistols like the Shadowkeeper and the Chosen's pistol.



Technical Details / Compatability
Always start a new campaign when turning this mod on. Do not try and turn it on part-way through an existing game.

This mod changes the ability tree for Templars and Skirmishers, so will conflict with any other mod that changes Templar or Skirmisher ability trees.

To make this work, the skirmisher's Marauder ability has been removed from their perk tree and attached to the bullpup weapon instead. Also, the Fire Pistol ability has been removed from the autopistol weapon and added to the Templar's perk tree.

Dunno if this mod is dead, but my templar can't fire his pistol normally, can only overwatch and use abilities with it.
Also his shadowkeeper can't be upgraded.

Does this work with the silent killer perk for the reaper?

Is there any way to get something like this to work mid campaign? I only need the Chosen weapons to work with the factions, if that helps. Without a Sniper on my team I feel bad letting the nice pistol go to waste

Could you make a seperate mod where you have to complete a covert operation with the respective faction to allow vanilla classes to use the faction weapons? IE, complete a CO with th Reapers to allow snipers to use the vektor?

Does anyone know how to fix templars with pistols?

ok, I will check it

@alfn86 My best guess is it's a conflict with some other mod.

Are you using any other mod that changes Templars? If so, try not using that and this at the same time.

I had problem with templars. Started a new game and, yet, the templar can't shoot or rend... =/

@Meat Tenderizer. Yes. All abilities work exactly the same whatever primary weapon a soldier has equipped.

Does the perk soul harvest apply to reapers when they use sniper rifles?
