I put a discussion in how to reduce the effects on their weapons.
Also if using LWOTC, Ted Jam makes them compatible for spawning.

I’m starting to hate the Muton Prowler because of their weapon

Lwotc??

I tried this mod and faced them pretty early on. When do these muton variants spawn at the earliest? Also have you considered raising their FL requirements since they are pretty rough at the start?

@Komissar Gebet
I know, thank you.

Look no further, comrade!
There are! There's a gene mod. And there is Musashi's RPGO - finest tool to make superprofessional soldiers!

@Komissar Gebet

You are right, I need to find a mod to give my xcom soldiers twenty-three reconstructive surgeries.

@meowbaawoof

Aren't mutons expected to be like that from the start?
Actually space marines are exactly what you need to deal with such threats.

This is great, a sniper with a smoothbore gun and tank armor... ummmm, maybe I'll need a squad of space marines to deal with him.

Why? Why are we giving 12 health and 3 armor to a sniper? On a threat level where the worst thing you can encounter is an advent mec who CAN'T use cover?

Probably the only enemy that is going on my ban list. Even ADVENT rocketeers aren't this BS.

I agree with the guys below I don't understand why he's firing a building sized explosion bigger than any of the rockets or grenades

Holy shit do not run these guys with Idle Suppression

yo bro. how do we reduced the effects of the sniper. its like a rocket launcher was shooting instead of some stealth sci fi weapon

its cool that it works with playable aliens

Looks cool. But what's with the effects? It's more like a heavy weapon than a sniper.

Unrealistic effects are ok, but the volume of the effects is far too loud.

Here is my adjustment for them to remain Sniper Variant but still higher tier then your common muton -
Doubled health, bumped up their Aim to 90 and 100 accordingly, adjusted to pierce 2 armour and shred 1, should keep them a threat and high profile target to get rid off.

good grief these things are dangerous!

Same as everyone in the comment section. Love the enemies except for the noise and over the top particles when firing. Unsubing for now until it gets fixed.

Please lower the volume of their weapons, these enemies are so cool but the sounds make my ears bleed

As much as I find these enemies interesting, and potentially fun to deal with, I'm unfortunately going to have to be counted among the people who just can't handle the monstrous effects tied to their guns. Way too extreme, in both volume *and* particle effects.

You made pirate mutons. They even have an energy musket. This is... so cool. I actually think it fits pretty neatly into the game, despite them not looking as manufactured as the other aliens. Really cool. I will be using them in my mod project

My friends character with an invincible armour build "Finally, a worthy opponent. Our battle will be legendary."

Not a fan of a lot of your enemies but these guys have been a pretty good addition. They provide a nice tactical consideration while not feeling grossly unfair. Models look awesome too. Only criticism I have about them is that the FX on their gun is a bit much, and also the corpses have a tendency to spasm violently and fly around.

Can you make this so they don't spawn as much as during evac missions?

Agreed. Love the Prowler's gun, but the impact flash radius is too large and makes it seem like a graphical bug. I would also make the round stand out more, its almost invisible. Only way to see the round is for the gun to miss up into the sky so it doesn't hit any of the landscape as it travels.

i have almost 20 (out of almost 700 mods installed) of your creations and the pathfinders are the toughest on Legend mode so thanks and keep up to great work

Could the radius of the weapon blast visuals be reduced somehow? The FX are quite cool, but I am getting headaches every time they shoot.
(Besides the "BYE ARMOR" headache they inflict :D)

These guys are badass. I actually love the BFG flash that comes from their rifle. I mean, he strips off ALL of your armor in one go. Not even a blaster launcher can do that.

Jesus its like getting hit by a sniper shot and flashbang at the same time

Good god their guns are bright.

Can this mod be made somehow compatible with playable aliens? I would love to have those be available for liberation.

Just realised they have Shadowstep. I was wondering why Killzone wasn't working.

Would it be possible too tone down the visual FX of their sniper rifles? i like the idea of a sniper muton a lot, but whenever they shoot it feels like it hits with the force of an alien grenade launched from a mag grenade launcher, but none of the AOE that would entail. its sorta jarring from the visual effect vs the fact it only hits one soldier.

Just fought one on my 5th mission on Commander, Haven't been hit yet, but you REALLY don't want these guys lining up shots on yours. Damn near had a heart attack from the explosion their rounds make, would be more lore friendly without those, IMO.
TIP: Make sure you get to tier 2 weapons ASAP with this mod installed, these guys are TROUBLE...

Really love their design but the HUGE explosive glow when they fire was very off putting for me personally so had to uninstall it, but still understand if others like it.

These sound like a pain in the @$$ to handle. its installing as i type.

I know its a logn shot but is there ANY WAY you can make this guy as a squad mate XD I still use the old Playable Aliens mod (WOTC) and its not been updated in years.

If you sir (or anyone in fact) can find a way to add aliens as a perm squadmate (not just with console commands or for one battle) I would be so happy ^^

That aside, THIS IS AWESOME, he will go well with the armored Viper mod I got too ^^

Subbed!

Gotta say...this was one hell of a surprise when he started firing due to idle suppression. My entire screen went white for a solid 4 seconds.

OMG 4 armor for this muton. WTF

Those are impressive well made Muton Armors.

"Mutons can be snipers too!"
*Fires Anti Material rifle directly into an xcom soldier, turning them into gibs*

Truly astonished by all your mods. They all have the same quality as anything included in the base game and fit in so seamlessly. Thank you so much for making them.

@Sephirem @Claus could probably make a patch for that.

any drop ?

Awesome mod but i don't recommend playing with this and idle suppression. Those hunters nearly blew my ears out with their nuclear sniper :D

It would be cool if you could make the weapon they are using as the tech reward. A sniper with built in Shred would be nice.

In the middle of a mission, suddenly my Sniper, who was once unmatched, sights a glint in the distance but a moment too late.

wow! its great to know that there r a lot of people still interested in & playing this franchise!!!

Never ceases to amaze me how good the modding scene for this game is, looks like I'll be playing again soon!
