Description
Ladies and gentleman I present the the Vanguard class. This was a fun little class to work on and make. The main role of the class is to rush to a position and hold it down. They excel in moving around and providing a nice wall of bullets to any poor alien attempting to move past them. The class has three ability trees now and new GTS perks. Also if you are using primary secondaries the vanguard can be pretty good at dual wielding pistols.

GTS Perks:
(Lightning Aim: Gain 5 aim for each enemy you can see, up to a maximum of 10 aim.)
(Fire Training: Gain +5 Aim, +1 HP and armor.)
(Lick Your Wounds: Hunker Down restores some health when used, up to a maximum amount per mission, and removes poison, burning, and acid burning.)

Weapons:
Primary: Assault rifle, Pistols and shotguns (for those who want to feel more like a LW Assault)
Secondary: Pistol

Hunter Abilities
Squaddie: Low Profile, Run and Gun, and Total Combat

Notice
There is apparently a compatibility issue with CCP framework and extended perks be aware of this issue found by DMC32.

Special thanks
Clayton Cross the maker of the Stormguard Class for vanilla
Richard for making the Rifleman class mod in vanilla
RM and all the other modders in the Xcom 2 modder's discord for teaching all that I know.
Favid for his Perk Pack.

If you like this class mod, go give my other ones a look. They all have a fun, and interesting theme.

I have been using this mod since at least when they were called Riflemen I think it was. Love it thank you for your work on this Alpha.

@Alpha115 not to my knowledge, ive been looking at my MANY mods and cant find why it is

@Unregistered Hypercam That is odd, no idea what could be causing that issue. Are you using any mods that add soldiers who get that rank normally?

ive been using this class for a while now, but all of a sudden my 3 vanguards can all promote to brigadier. but the perk screen doesnt go far enough. its still working fire just the "people can promote" notification wont go away.

Love this class tho :nero:

@Ceckard Cain, it is up to speed with other classes, it goes to colonel like the vanilla and hero classes. If you mean brigadier rank that is LW2 classes and I dont do LW stuff.

Since you're still updating this mod it would be nice if we could get an extra rank, to bring it up to speed with the regular classes.

@WilsoN5 a bit late but this latest update should have fixed this.

The ability icon for "Close Encounters" seems to be missing, and shows a "missing img" icon instead.

Hello is this safe to add mid game?

At first I thought too powerful a class, but by the end I found it very fun and not terribly out of line - favorite pistol class currently.
