[WOTC] Unarmed Weapons

Adds three tiers of Unarmed melee weapons: Brass Knuckles and Combat Boots. By default, attacks with Brass Knuckles visualize as uppercut punches, while attacks with Combat Boots visualize as front kicks. These weapons are available from the start of the campaign, and are upgraded alongside Rangers' Swords.

Compared to regular Swords, Unarmed weapons:

• Give +1 Mobility and +5 Dodge.
  
• Have -1 base damage.
  
• Have an additional -1 damage penalty if the target has any amount of Armor.
  
• Deal +1 bonus damage to targets without Armor.

So against unarmored opponents, they are just as good as swords. Even better, thanks to the passive stat bonuses. However, they effectively deal -2 damage compared to Swords if the target has any armor.

No special photobooth poses and no custom armory attitudes.


X2 WOTC Community Highlander is required.

Safe to add mid-campaign.


Should be compatible with almost anything.

Compatible with [WOTC] Prototype Armoury and [WOTC] Covert Infiltration out of the box.

Configured for (WOTC) Utility Slot Sidearms Extended and Primary Secondaries. Compatible with Dual Wield Melee and WotC Ballistic Shields.

This mod contains a set of tactical animations for soldiers using Unarmed Primary or Dual Unarmed weapons. Attacks with Dual Unarmed weapons visualize as Left + Right punch.

While equipped with a Primary Unarmed weapon, the soldier will be forced into Templars' By The Book attitude. This behavior is configurable and can be disabled.

There are no attack animations for using Dual Melee that includes one Unarmed weapon, and one "proper" melee weapon. In other words, if you don't want it to look weird, avoid Dual Wielding an unarmed weapon and a "normal" melee weapon.


The mod is configurable through:

There you can customize stats for Unarmed weapons, or just make them entirely cosmetic alternatives to swords. You can also configure which attack animations will be used by Brass Knuckles and Combat Boots.


Melee attacks with Brass Knuckle / Combat Boots will still be called "Slash" or something like that, and generally will refer to hack'n'slash weapons. Not something I can easily fix, nor care to.


[WOTC] Hand to Hand Abilities - this mod adds an ability to all soldiers that allows to Punch, Kick or Stockstrike enemies.


Thanks to Dies Irea for Covert Infiltration / Prototype Armory compatibility config.
