i also highly recommend using [WOTC] Commander Avatar Restoration to get the consistency between cutscenes and gameplay (if you are on vanilla XCOM 2 then i'm sure there's a legacy version)

@foxcommander2 It's the very last mission of the game.

Hrmmm....... I never knew the commander was a playable unit? I must finish this game now to find this mission!

@Deadput Well there are lot of things I wish to mention but current vanilla Skirmisher is broken. I'm properly playing game and all of my plays are L/I plus ABA so I think I'm good at this game and I know what I'm doing. Check those posts regarding Skirmishers

Basically all of my logics behind "broken Skirmisher"s are in those 3 posts. Of course you can think differnet, and those are how I think. There's no definitive answer in this game dude, everyone has their own way of enjoying XCOM2ing. But I, and some other ppl in those reddit posts, wish to point out that Skirmishers are broken when compared to other OP classes, such as Bladestorm Templar and Reaper.

@TURBULENT Are you bloody serious?

Your not using Skrimishers properly and changing them the way you do is basically cheating.

@Arkhangel @Deadput Vanilal skirmisher cannot induce +40 damage within a turn, neither have a survive skill like Untouchable, and their bullpup has shotgun range table but no crit bonus. No one use Skirmisher from mid-game because their damage is weak. Early game might be favborable for Skirmisher but still, Skirmishers have no armor, no survival skill and no extra health, yet they are forced to fight in close rage due to bullpup. Their desing is wrong.

I use Skirmiserh rebalance mod, and I have them rifle by ini modification. Now I feel the Skirmisher is compatible with Reaper and Templar. Vanilla Skirmishers have many fundamental flows. I think Multipurpose rifle for Skirmisher would make them more OP.

I never said anything about the Skirmishes since they are fine the way they are, only tactically lacking people can't use Skirmishers right. I'm only talking about mods regarding Bradfords gun not existing for wotc.

@Deadput: trust me, if you're having trouble making skirmishers useful, you're using them wrong.

@Arkhangel while there are some Bradford rifle mods, none of them are available for WOTC right now this mod is basically it.

@Turbulent: My skirmishers don't suffer whatsoever. They bring all the pain.

@Turb: there's a mod that gives bullpups rifle range. as for damage... give them specialized ammos. they utterly murder bots with bluescreen.

also, there's a ton of riflemods that use Central's rifle as a base out there.

Could you make Central's rifle available to every soldiers? Or at least to Skirmisher, who is suffering from bullpup's poor damage and shotgun range table.

Brilliant idea, makes more sense than Shen magically fabricating an avatar rifle.

Hah, I like the flavour of this. Nice idea.
