Reaper Scythe Class

Description
Every Reaper uses stealth and distraction as a powerful asset, slaying foes from the shadows, but some prefer to dispatch their enemies with a swift blade rather than anything quite as... loud... as using explosives. Of course, they still carry the Reapers' signature Vektor rifle, and are quite capable of killing from a distance as well.

The Reaper Scythe class is an additional class for the Reapers. Newly created Reapers will have a random chance to be a Reaper Scythe instead.

  • Reaper Scythe Squaddies get Shadow, like a typical Reaper, but also gain the ability to use a sword rather than a claymore.
  • At Corporal level, Reaper Scythes can choose between Sting and Shadow Rising, which adds an additional charge to Shadow.
  • At Sergeant level, they get Target Definition or Triple Sting, which adds two additional charges to Sting.
  • At Lieutenant level, they get Silent Killer, Blademaster or Needle.
  • At Captain level, they get Hunter's Instinct (the same as the Ranger GTS perk), Assassinate, which is a two-action shot that has a 0% chance of detection on a kill, or Honed Edge, which adds shred to melee attacks.
  • At Major level, they get Implacable or Banish.
  • And at Colonel level, they get Bladestorm or Total Darkness, which greatly reduces enemy detection radii, possibly to zero.

Make sure you have the Multiple Faction Soldier Classes mod installed, or Reaper Scythes won't show up!

WOTC Only.

I've had 2 reapers this run, and both turned into Scythe reapers.

I do like the flavour of the class. Only thing is, I usually play my Reapers as Silent Killers, so I found myself hesitant to use the sword whenever I had a nice stealth flank killshot instead. Which is basically all the time, with reapers. They're great at clean-up duty.

But with the Ability Editor, I've modded SwordSlash to not reveal on Kill. Which isn't relevant to anyone else, since normally you're going to run into the enemy's detection radius before melee'ing them anyway. But with a Total Darkness Scythe Reaper, that now means melee kills won't reveal them. :D

Just think it's fun and appropriate for a sword reaper to basically have melee-Silent Killer as part of their ultimate. Stealth rogue backstab from shadows!

@Vicen Would you consider uploading that? I'd love to make a full reaper squad with diverse skill sets

I ran into an issue, that I cannot make reaper armor, when my only reaper is a scythe one.

@Orton Ville it should be makefactionsoldierclass "firstname lastname" reaper or for mox skirmisher.

Mox also turned out to be Heavy Skirmisher, even if I don't load the Skirmisher Heavy before the rescue mission, Mox would have no soldier class just a rank. Ima start a new game again and load the faction soldier mods after I got hold of the three regular faction soldiers. Nice mods, but may break lore if starting a new game. Sucks to be OC.

In my new game, Outrider turned out to be a Reaper Scythe, didn't expect her to be other than her story character so I changed her back to regular Reaper with RebuildSelectedSoldiersClass MP_Reaper, it works but she lost her pistol slot provided by Dedicated Pistol Slot 2.0. May I ask what the proper class name of a Reaper? MakeFactionSoldierAClass Reaper doesn't work for me. Let me know please. Thanks!
