If you're using this mod and having troubles, do note that it's not compatible with mods that change core Purifier AI. This isn't stated in the description, but it is stated in the first discussion thread that points out issues of compatibility.

I had some issues similar to those of others where my Purifiers would only use their pistols, their pistols had infinite range, and they would constantly back up from danger to snipe with them rather than coming forward to use their flamethrowers.

I'm fairly certain that this is because I'm using A Better AI, which I believe alters core Purifier AI scripts. If you're using an AI mod of some kind, like ABA or ABAI, be warned that you may see some hangups with this.

I think that there are some excellent ideas here, and that this is probably a great mod for someone using a shorter mod list than I am.

why do they have return fire lmfao
are they purifiers or sharpshooters?
DukeBurger 31 Jan @ 4:33am 
ok so i think ive figured why the purifiers are still spamming their pistol attack even after the update which added a cooldown , the standard pistol shot ability was not removed so the purifier can shoot its pistol regardless of cooldown.
the amazing autistic 18 Oct, 2023 @ 12:18pm 
does this work with ABA?
Risitas_Fanboi 6 May, 2023 @ 3:08am 
in fact they dont move even when they have a flanking opportunity or they themselves are flanked. They are acting like they are living turrets with fire grenades
Risitas_Fanboi 6 May, 2023 @ 3:07am 
also I dont know what is causing it but Purifiers in my campaign has "Fire Pistol" along with "Pistol Shot", which causes them to spam their pistol instead of closing in to use their flamethrower
Risitas_Fanboi 5 May, 2023 @ 7:04am 
does anyone know how can I remove Return Fire from these guys?
0inArrow 10 Apr, 2023 @ 7:43am 
Is there any way I can remove 'Return Fire' from the base purifier?
MrShadow  [author] 7 Aug, 2022 @ 3:59pm 
Been a while but small update. Purifier Pistols now have a cooldown. You can find this in the config under XComAPR_AbilityData. If there are multiple Purifiers in play and one fires his pistol, he will go into a 3 turn cooldown and all others will go into a 2 turn global cooldown before another can file the pistol. This should set off a staggered fire from that point on.

ADVPURIFIER_PISTOL_COOLDOWN=3
ADVPURIFIER_PISTOL_GLOBALCOOLDOWN=2

I have also added the code to allow the remote start ability to work on these guys if using RoboJumpper's Remote Start Purifiers Mod.

I'm trying a more radical adjustment, having just had a frustrating mission against them, where they didn't use their flamethrower attack once. I want them to use their flamethrowers, because that's their damn job. To that end, remove pistols and boost flamethrowers.

The general gist of the config edits are as follows:
1) Remove pistols from their load out and AI behaviours.
2) Reduce damage on some of their secondary abilities.
3) Improve the flamethrowers, boosting range and width, chance to ignite target.
4) Crucially, change their flamethrower to do small (M1 is base 2 with 1 spread) amounts of Advent Magnetic damage instead of fire, with 1 AP.
5) The big change, Adjust the main two behaviour types to 80% use your flamethrower, 20% other stuff. Other stuff behaviour hugely de-emphasises anything other than throwing a fire bomb and standard move, overwatch, reload.

It took me about 30 mins to do. Initial test had them using their flamethrowers a lot.
