ADVENT Death Trooper [WOTC]

The ADVENT Death Troopers are a step above the ADVENT Officer -- they are a unit comprised of the most refined caliber of clones produced by the Elders. They boast heightened reflexes, increased aggression, incredible eyesight, and are significantly faster than your run-of-the-mill ADVENT trooper. ADVENT generally keeps these units away from peacekeeping duty--their sole purpose is to intercept and stop XCOM wherever and whenever they can. What really makes this elite group of soldiers truly deadly, however, is their advanced weapon proficiency. They are armed with prototype plasma weaponry which further aids them in shooting more often and more accurately than other ADVENT units.

The ADVENT Death Trooper starts to show up at force level 4, and upgrades at force level 10 and 15. The Elite Death Troopers wear black capes. Between each level, they again health, aim, and armor. They also get stronger weapons.

• Marauder -- They are fully capable of shooting you twice. Sometimes three times if they use rapid fire on the second action.
  
• Deadeye -- (Will only attempt to use when hit chance is above a certain percent)
  
• Rapid Fire -- Make sure you hunker down who you can if you can't alpha strike them!
  
• Zero In -- Gain 10+ aim when shooting the same target twice. Protect your SPARKs.
  
• Covering Fire -- They can stop more actions than just movement. Take advantage of soldiers with Shadowstep.
  
• Cool Under Pressure -- They make overwatch shots count. Duck!
  
• Guardian -- When they make said overwatch shots, they have a 50 % chance to take another.
  
• Poison Immunity -- They are armed with poisonous grenades for rooting out pesky XCOM opposition. Keep your troops spread out.

I've always loved Lucubration's Infantry Class but I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a bit powerful. So what's the best (or most masochistic) way to balance that class? Why not an equally powerful unit who's capable of dishing that same kind of pain on you!

I also very much enjoy the aesthetic of the Death Troopers from Star Wars, so I followed that format cosmetically.


You can tone down their health, aim, armor, etc. In the XComGameData_CharacterStats.ini, in case they are a bit too strong.

The weapon stats are in XComDeathTrooper.ini as well.


No incompatibilities that I know of.

• They might be too strong. If you feel that way let me know! I'm still open to changes to their ability set.
  
• No autopsy currently. I thought about adding one, but I felt that if I allowed players to get the Prototype Rifle there would be balance issues.

-NotSoLoneWolf, DerBK, and the rest of the X2 Modding Discord for their unending support and tips.
