Is there any way to control how many shots are fired? Some pistols seem to fire bursts, some don't with primaries.

it just doesnt work. No secondaries as primaries for me. does anyone know why?

@Preselier
DO you have the Alien Hunters Highlander, if you've got that DLC?

Cannot for the life of me get this to work... Using AML, everything runs fine but the moment I toggle True Primary Secondaries, the game crashes on launch. Got all the dependencies, not sure what I'm doing wrong!

no wait thats just the Akimbo class. Infiltrator still uses ammo

ok I figured out what the problem was. it was 'Ammo and Vest Slots'. also the pistols don't consume ammo is this a bug or is this a case of the mod is not finished yet?

I can't change My Infiltrators Pistols. Can't give them Sawed offs or Machine pistols. can't give them a different modded pistol It's either this mods fault or maybe 'Musashi's Mod Fixes' or 'Ability To Slot Reassignment' if I go back to the old Primary Secondaries it works fine

Balistic Shields can't seem to be available for primary with this mod.
Does anyone know a fix ?

Believe you're supposed to be able to use this instead, but I personally I use the Beta version. Though I still haven't had any luck with swapping the primary weapon for any of my dual wielding characters, just the secondary weapons.

i want to use this mod Jedi Class Revised but it requires this one Primary Secondaries want to know if True Primary Secondaries [BETA] can be used in its place since i aready have True Primary Secondaries [BETA]?

Is there some way to change the ammo that faceoff uses when i have a primary pistol equipped? I don't like it using all my ammo

I don't have that mod, so it wouldn't be the one that's causing the conflict for me.

I recently installed Viper's Genji revision https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3392016283 and it seems like it was the conflict. Uninstalling it fixed my issue.

Yeah I just started having the same issue as 3D Master. I don't know if it is because I just upgraded to v1.6 of the Alternative Mod Launcher.

As LtCommander417 mentioned I too cannot pick a weapon for the primary weapon; secondaries are just not an option, it only shows primary weapons that you can't equip because the class doesn't allow for it. It's not just Akimbo, it's also the Samurai class that has the same issue. And the issue is worse; the weapon in the primary slot remains stuck there; meaning when you upgrade the weapon, the soldier remains stuck with the tier 1 version.

Ok, trust them then, LWOTC is a whole other thing. It touches so many parts (it's really a complete overhaul), it has problems with a lot of other mods.

Wow, this is what they answered me on discord:
Don't use Reduce Armory Clutter with LWOTC.
LWOTC disables the "upgrades" this mod works with.
If you do have schematic upgrades for something, you are using mods that are not designed with LWOTC in mind, and I can't guarantee that it won't brick anything.

I had never heard of "Reduce Armory Clutter", so I looked it up. Half the first page of comments is people saying it IS compatible with True Primary Secondaries. So, I would assume it's fine.

When I launch the game, I get an error about the incompatibility of the "Reduce Armory Clutter" and "True Primary Secondaries [BETA]" mods.
Is this a false positive or are they really incompatible?
If they are, why?

Has anyone used this and successfully equipped longwar combat knives in primary slot?

Feel like I've messed up somewhere. I can choose my secondary as normal, but the primary I can't. There are no options for me to choose from. Character has Akimbo class, so every weapon is locked that's a long arm. There are just no options for a pistol.

So this version doesn't have empty secondary that grants extra mobility and dedicated primary animations?

I'm having an issue where all my secondaries that's equipped as primaries fire like rifles - e.g. pistols as primary fires like a rifle, and not a pistol. Has anyone else come across this bug or knows how to fix it?

and mod fixes from iridar you need aswell

musashi isnt modding xcom2 anymore, and most mods work with true primary aswell, even its showing the other one as requirement, you just should download xmodbase redux, that fixes the ammo problem and some other thing with some mods, which are using the old one

Can you make this mod compatible with the previous Primary Secondaries? I'm asking because many interesting mods require Primary Secondaries, while others require True Primary Secondaries [BETA], but it's impossible to use both mods at the same time.

Why would it have been? Musashi has been AFK from the community and mod development for YEARS. Not that I expect anyone to be paying attention, but you kinda have to when it comes to XCOM2 modding.

This hasn't been updated at all lol

primary pistols doesnt use ammo, is this problem known or on my side?

i'm missing some ability's on the samurai class when i use this mod. they work fine on the old primary secondary's mod.

Just in case someone runs into the same issue as me: all of the secondaries worked fine in the primary slot but weren't available at all in the secondary slot!

I went to the workshop mod folder (steamapps\workshop\content\268500\2133399183), opened up XComClassData.ini and noticed that only the "empty" secondary weapon was allowed for all the classes, as per the line "+AllowedWeapons=(SlotType=eInvSlot_SecondaryWeapon, WeaponType="empty")" under every class.

I copied that line and replaced the WeaponType="empty" at the end with all of the desired secondary weapon types for each of the classes, launched the game, and there they all were, available as secondaries again! I have no idea whether doing this will conflict with some of the mod features (like being able to use a dupe weapon as primary and secondary), but at least I can HAVE secondaries at all.

It works fine for me (and most others), so something probably broke in your setup. I'm guessing something in the local configs (this mod does weird stuff via config), but I don't know. Try the troubleshooting here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xcom2mods/wiki/mod_troubleshooting

Apparently this mod and it's older version crash on startup. I've tested just running all the required files and only using **Community Highlander, Mod Fixes, and Slot assignment**. I'm not running either versions at the same time, but when I try either by themselves with the required files, it just doesn't load up. I'm also using AML to launch the game.

I thought maybe having 500+ mods was the issue, but everything was well and dandy about a year ago, and now when I come back - issues since then. I'm not sure if some of the "updates" that Firaxis released made an impact along the lines to screw everything up or other mods that got updated messed up coding for this to become a concern.

Wolffang you need specific classes also such as Akimbo or Gunslinger as separate mods.

That said I can get the original True Secondaries mod working but this version? Nope. I have no idea why either <shrug> - by all accounts it makes no sense.

How does this work, I dont know know how to duel weild or equip secondaries

Yes, anything requiring Primary Secondaries will work with True Primary Secondaries.

hi, i'm using a variety of mods which some require this mod, but others require the other primary secondary mod. When i launch the game through the mod launcher, it warns me to deactivate primary secondary otherwise this true primary secondary won't work properly. Would you know if it would be ok to disable the other primary secondary mod and have it not affect the mods that say they need that version instead of this one?

Do you have a class specifically setup to use them? They need to be enabled like any other weapon. For example sniper rifles: most classes can't use them, except for sharpshooters, which are designed specifically to have them enabled.

Hey so I know it's 2024 and all, but just wanted to give you a heads-up that this doesn't seem to be working. I've got everything installed properly, (including your awesome RPG mod and a bunch of the plugins for it) but I'm not seeing any secondaries as options in the primary slot.

Hello, trying this as I used to use the old version. No melee weapons are showing as primary. They show with the old version bit not this version. I have the required mods. I have also deleted the game and after the reload started a new game and still not working. Any Ideas?

@Evios Vicern
Did you mean to comment on this mod, that doesn't seem related. Something to do with RPGO I'd guess.

so i stopped playing for a bit and when i came back, i haven't changed any of my mod settings but even with all other classes disabled it is using them and the universal soldier option is no longer an option to enable/disable, not 100% sure whether it was last time or not but is was working and allowing me to choose my class

Is there any way to configure this mod so that soldiers with a pistol in a primary slot still benefit from abilities that grant extra actions using a primary weapon such as Hit and Run and Close Encounters? I'm currently using this with LWOTC and my dual pistol wielding soldiers are not granted extra actions from these abilities.

This will drop the sorting "Tier" of each autopistol by 1, and I've confirmed results in all soldier classes that I've tried equipping their PROPER equipment before any autopistol of the same tech level.
If the autopistol available is of a higher tech level than the class' normal weapon; then it may still be picked. You can adjust this by reducing the "V = " value for each Sidearm template. (Autopistols are called "Sidearm" in code).
Any weapon template can be modified in this same way.

Now I can finally use this mod again without losing my MIND!

@Canadian Normandy

I have found a solution to autopistols or other undesirable weapons being used as default for soldier's when they have their weapons unequipped.
A LITTLE convoluted; but reasonable ENOUGH. Only solution I've found.

Under the comment for "ENTER COMMANDS THAT WILL RUN NORMALLY" (line 18)
add the following lines (and save of course):

+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "Sidearm_CV", P = "Tier", V = "2")
+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "Sidearm_MG", P = "Tier", V = "3")
+Edit_X2WeaponTemplate = (T = "Sidearm_BM", P = "Tier", V = "4")

im having the same issue as the user directly below me. i posted in the bugs thread over a week ago and still have had no response nor figured out a fix.

Finally had to uninstall this mod; because it was driving me mad.
Autopistols appear at the top of EVERY primary weapon list, and any time soldiers have their weapons unequipped, EVERY class that can tries to default to the autopistol. I can find no fix for this anywhere, i'd be fine disabling the autopistol as a primary, but no clue how.

I have the same issue as extra. I can't find an "empty" equip for my secondary slot which forces me to use dual swords with stormrider class. Everything was fine in my legendary ironman run until i upgraded the swords and they auto equipped on all of my stormrider's secondary slots.

That sucks. At least it's working now though.

Yes I did. I had to uninstall everything, delete everything, and redownload everything. What a drag.
