XR20 Burst Rifle

Description
Basically the M41A2 from Aliens: Fireteam Elite but without the references to Alien in the description. I just like the way the gun looked :p Also! Credit to Ranger Rick for his coding expertise!

XR20 Burst Rifle description[saipan670mods.weebly.com]


I aimed to place this weapon between the Bolt Action Rifle and the Charge Rifle in terms of stats. Better than the vanilla Assault Rifle, but this should be far more expensive to produce. I intended to use this as a frontline rifle for my pawns in a world where there's VOID abominations, GlitterTech mercenaries, and other Eldritch Horrors... So better than base-game weapons but inferior when put up against deadlier foes.

Let me know if there's any tweaks I should make!

Does this work for 1.4?

thanks a lot ^^
I enjoy the look of that weapon and want to use it, but it's a wee bit overshadowed by other weapons I have to make it worthwhile.

@cyprien1 once you sub to it go into your workshop folder in steam apps, then content. I think rw is 294100. Then look for the steam workshop ID for this mod 2564321674 is it I believe. Then youll want to look inside the defs and it should have weapon defs there.

how can I download this to change the stats?
I've got the colonial marines mod installed, and the m41a is significantly better than this one. I want to change it to equip my assault squad with a m41a2

It's, uh...a teensy bit overtuned. The core issues are that:

1) It has incredible accuracy, especially at short range, far in excess of the 60/70/65/55% of the Assault Rifle and the 55/64/55/45% of the Charge Rifle.
2) It uses a damage of 17 (vs. 11 for the Assault Rifle and 15 for the Charge Rifle), but has a burst count of 5 vs. 3 for the other two.
3) It's total firing cycle length is 182 ticks, identical to the Assault Rifle and 22 less than the Charge Rifle, yet each burst deals 2.6x as much damage as the AR and 1.9x as much as the CR.

Recommended rebalance:
Damage: 8
Warmup: 0.9s
Cooldown: 1.3s
Range: 29
Burst: 5
Burst Ticks: 8 (btw, this is an integer stat, 4.6 is just rounded by the game to 5)
AP: 25%
Accuracy: 58/67/60/50

@GGsus - Stats and comparisons are coming right up! I forgot to put that in the description before uploading lol.

@Halituis Amaricanous - I HAD to make a reference to how it's literally an M41A2-series rifle but "not," haha

Officer it is impossible for any M4A2 rifles to not have a snarky reference to aliens embedded into the description. it's actually physically impossible.
