[WotC] Glaive- Massive melee Weapon(ver.1.5)

Add a powerful melee weapon for the Your soldier.

Somebody would have thought about this.- Why did not anyone make a melee weapon combined with a gun? & why does not XCOM use massive melee weapons like Spear or Glaive? This mode solves the above mentioned drawbacks.


With this MOD you can equip a powerful primary melee weapon in exchange for giving up the gun. Unlike other melee weapons, requires reload because it use Cartridge propellant- However, this equipment can show explosive combat ability in close combat.

The Glaive is the primary weapon for Ranger, PsiOperative and Reaper and Secondary Weapon for Ranger. This weapon allows for a very powerful melee attack in exchange for the complete loss of ranged attacks by these mechanics.
If equipped with this weapon, the following skills can be used instead of the standard fire and overwatch.

1.Massive Melee Weapon
"Add extra melee attack that consumes ammo and guarantees to hit. also deals extra AoE damage around If soldier did not move last turn"
ㄴWield:"Guaranteed hit Attack an adjacent target with your Glaive (Ammo cost=1)
ㄴSwipe: "deals extra AoE damage around If soldier did not move last turn"


2.Built-in firearm Spear
"When equipped as a primary weapon, unlocks the melee alert and long-range shooting and melee Overwatch triggers on enemies within 4 tiles."


If your soldier have a separate primary-firearm skill (example: rapid fire) you can also use that skill with Glaive.



Like other primary weapons, the Glaive can also be equipped with upgrade parts. In particular, since Kinetic Strike Modules have Ammo restrictions, unlike other melee weapons - upgraded magazine upgrades that are not favored in general primary melee weapons may be useful.

In addition, if you remove all Chosen, you can create the ultimate Glaive -The exiles.Although most Chosen weapons will be used as raw materials to make this weapon, it will be well worth it.

Musashi- Swipe's animation was extracted from his Dual Wield Melee. Thank you.
