[WOTC] Rangers Use Rifles By Default

Changes default loadout of Ranger class to include a rifle instead of a shotgun.

In XCOM 2 rangers can use either shotguns or rifles as primary weapons, and by default game puts shotgun to ranger's loadout. While shotguns have their strong points (namely, higher damage output and accuracy at point blank range), in early game it's usually more advantageous to use rifles for mid-range firefight and swords for point blank attacks.

You can use this mod together with [WotC] Jane Kelly Starting Soldier - in this case she will appear on Operation Gatecrasher with a rifle equipped as her primary weapon.

Note that this is a trivial ini-only mod, which literally changes a single config line from base game. Conflicts with other mods are only possible if they are changing loadout of SquaddieRanger, in this case mod which loads later wins.
