OUTDATED VERSION. If you have the Tactical Legacy Pack, find the current version of ABB here:

>>> A Better Barracks: TLE <<<

If you do not have that, this version here is the right one for you. But note that while in working condition, it's no longer being updated. Consider spending the 8 bucks on the DLC :)

A Better Barracks is an overhaul for classes and items in XCOM2: War of the Chosen, aiming to change the tactical gameplay to the better by providing new and more diverse options for soldier layout and customization.

PREREQUISITES

You need the Community Highlander and the FX fix because of the secondary weapons from LW. If you are not using A Better ADVENT, you will also need the Rifle Suppression fix by bountygiver.

Prerequisite is also the will to drop most other mods, as ABB is not exactly compatibiliy-friendly, touching on a lot of different stuff. Expect any weapon, class or strategy layer mods to be incompatible and relish the exceptions.

Speaking of exceptions, zamster made a compatibilty patch that allows you to use various weapon kits with ABB, you can find it here: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1162417893

** What is A Better Barracks? **

A Better Barracks changes the classes, perks, weapons and items in the game and adds new ones. It’s meant as a companion mod for A Better ADVENT(ABA), but can be used without it. ABB is an overhaul that touches on a lot of different things and is meant as a core mod to build your other mods around. The stated goal of the changes in ABB is increasing the depth of decision that the player has. This is done primarily by offering more options during character building and extending these options to the equipment as well. It’s not necessarily about nerfing or buffing XCOM, it’s about making multiple different playstyles viable and providing more diverse tools to the player for crafting the experience that he wants to get from XCOM2.

Highlights:
– 8 Classes, each one defined by a secondary weapon that only that class can use.
– Semi-Randomized perk trees that are built from a large pool of both class specific and general perks.
– Redesign of the primary weapons, and all classes get to pick one of two weapon types instead of being stuck to one.
– All weapons play very different due to unique firing and reloading mechanics
– Integration of the Long War secondary weapons (Holotargeter, Sawed Off, Arc Thrower, Combat Knife)
– New weapons, new items, new armors, etc etc.
– Overhauled upgrade system with weapon fragments and upgrade components
– Includes a complete overhaul of Psi mechanics
