Better Hair Triggers

Description
Replaces the vanilla Hair Trigger effect with a new one.

Inspired by Veehementia's and DerBK's Better Repeater, this mod exchanges the Hair Trigger's 5/10/15/20% chance for a free action with +1/2/3/4 damage on Reaction Fire (any form of Overwatch or Suppression).

I always felt that flat, uncontrollable, RNG is pretty boring. Substituting it for something more consistent allows you to better-form tactics, and expand playstyles.
  • Works with Insider Knowledge.
  • Doesn't stack with Stocks.
  • Works on Secondary Weapons like Pistols, assuming you have a mod that enables attachments for them (such as WotC Mod Everything Reloaded).

Compatibility
  • Doesn't override any Classes.
  • Might not work as intended with other mods that modify the Hair Triggers, such as Revised Weapon Upgrades. Should otherwise be compatible w/ everything more-or-less.

Known Issues
  • None at the moment.

To-do
  • Nothing.

My Mods

Credits
  • Veehementia (and in-turn DerBK) for giving me permission to use their code as a starting-point.
  • Iridar for programming support.

@Rossocuore Nope, should be fine on an ongoing one.

Very interesting mod, for all the gampeplay ideas it can open. I suppose it requires a new campaign to be used, right?

@Morgan_Yu I get that, but Scopes already increase hit chance so it'd feel redundant, and I personally don't wanna deal with the graze mechanics. Increasing damage might be a bit too powerful, but it encourages you to play differently.

Feels like it shouldn't increase damage, but maybe hit chance? Or, maybe add graze chance if missed?

Underrated mod!

Cool, Never liked the RNG of random free actions.
