Chosen Reward Variety

Why should rangers and sharpshooters have all the fun?

This mod adds variety to the possible rewards for defeating a chosen.
The possible rewards for each chosen now include a primary weapon, a secondary weapon, a grenade, a utility item, an armor, and one "miscellaneous" item.
Upon clearing a chosen stronghold, a research project will open that will award two of these items at random.

Probabilities for each combination can be modified in XComGameCore.ini

I noticed that every campaign I consistently tried to defeat the assassin first to form a bladestorm katana combo, as well as defeating the warlock last because the reward for defeating him was by far the least interesting.
All Items that can be awarded are very powerful, but none are as powerful as katana in my opinion.
Weapon damage and other stats can be modified in XComChosenRewardsConfig.ini

Features:
-15 new possible rewards for defeating the chosen
-15 unique reward combinations for each chosen
-Configurable values for everything I could think of
-Vague song references

FAQ:
Q: Can I put it in a currently running campaign?
A: I sure think so, but backing up files is what smart people do.

Q: These items are overpowered!
A: Probably, but are they more overpowered than a sniper rifle that can fire with one action? I think not. Also, that's not a question. Also, many item stats are configurable, and you can reduce the probability of finding items you especially don't like to zero within the config files as well.

Q: What if I want all the rewards?
A: Feel free to use console commands (AddItem) to give them to yourself. The item names are: ChosenShotgun_XCOM ChosenSword_XCOM MountainMistRewardGrenade PhantomDriverItem ShadeArmor Asimov ChosenSniperRifle_XCOM ChosenSniperPistol_XCOM StunGrenade HunterRounds OrionArmor GrenadeBlaster ChosenRifle_XCOM PsiAmp_Warlock PsiosGrenade SuperiorSphere FortressArmor PulseCannon

Q: What is this mod compatible with?
A: There are no overrides, though it does change the loot tables from the chosen stronghold, so it should be compatible with everything that doesn't rely on the loot tables from the chosen stronghold. As for other mods, If I didn't make them, I don't know if they'll work.

Q: Highlander compatible?
A: That's a firm "probably". If you notice any issues, please let me know.

Please tell me if there are bugs so I can fix them.

Known bugs (Also I can't seem to replicate these so they're gonna take a hot minute to fix):
-The cannon looks so weird with some mods and is causing crashes. It probably has to do with AddDefaultAttachment.
-Some people are able to build every item instantly. I'm not sure of everything in life, but I'd gamble a shiny snake that it has something to do with a different mod being used.
