Hi there. Missed me?

-



XCOM EU/EW soldiers always had a pistol to rely on in case they found themselves unable to reload or against an enemy with very little health left, even if said soldier was carrying a piece of equipment (except the Heavy class, which had Rocket Launchers instead). In XCOM 2 this feature was lost, probably in favor of emphasizing the Sharpshooter's Gunslinger tree.
Nevertheless, it irritated me to no end: you don't need special training to simply fire a gun.

Enter the Dedicated Pistol Slot.

As the title says, this mods adds a dedicated slot in which to equip Pistols (or whatever sidearm/item you want, this behaviour is configurable in the .ini) for all soldiers. By default configuration, the only two classes that miss this are the Sharpshooter (already has one) and the Templar (uses the Autopistol), but this can be changed in the config as well.

In order to better help players understand how to and how to not configure this mod (and all the new features of the 2.0 update), I've prepared a small guide that you can find here. Any comment asking for configuration help here will be ignored. If you need additional help after reading the guide, comment there, and I'll be happy to assist.



I've included a number of compatibilities with other similar mods, specifically:

• [WOTC] Iridar's Autopistol Overhaul :
  You can equip the Autopistols in the Pistol Slot and add visual attachments.
  
• [WOTC] LW2 Secondary Weapons :
  You can equip the LW2 Secondary Weapons to the pistol slot. Just add them as you normally would add any other weapon.
  
• Primary Secondaries :
  You can upgrade with visual attachments the pistols equipped in the pistol slot.
  
• [WOTC] Marauder affects Pistols :
  So that your Skirmishers can fire the pistol twice in a turn without having Quickdraw.

And that should be it. Note that none of the mods above are mandatory; you can still not download any of them and simply use the slot to equip Pistols or autopistols.

FOR RPGO USERS

Since the slot is now given using classes by default, the mod as is will not add any slot to your RPGO soldiers. This is because all vanilla classes (excluding Templars, Reapers, and Skirmishers) in RPGO are hidden, and all soldiers are now of the same class: UniversalSoldier. So, to add a pistol slot to all soldier in RPGO, you'll need to write:


You can still add a slot via abilities if you so prefer.

• Robojumper's Squad Select is necessary for the slot to be shown on the Squad Select Screen. Remember to uncheck the "Upgrade Icons Only For Primaries" checkbox [iridar.net] in Robojumper's Squad Select configuration. You can do that in .ini configuration or by using the Mod Config Menu mod.
  
• [WOTC] Reliable Ever Vigilant is required to fix the interaction between Ever Vigilant and Specialists using the Dedicated Pistol Slot. If the Specialist has enough ammo left to fire with his/her primary weapon, Ever Vigilant will work as normal; if the specialist does not have enough ammo to fire his/her primary weapon, he/she will use the pistol instead (provided Overwatch is set up with higher priority then PistolOverwatch in Reliable Ever Vigilant's configuration file)
  
• WotC Mod Everything Reloaded is not a hard requirement, but it will allow you to be able to upgrade your pistols/sidearms directly from the loadout screen, instead of using Robojumper's Squad Select. Huge thanks to Musashi for updating the mod with Dedicated Pistol Slot compatibility!

This mod is incompatible with Ammo and Vest Slots [WOTC] and [WOTC] Tons Of Utility Items.

To offset this, I've included a XComGameData.ini in the config folder. Inside, you'll be able to add either a Grenade Slot or an additional Utility Slot on a per-ability basis.

Donations are NOT required and I won't stop making stuff if you don't donate, don't worry: I make stuff for passion, not money. It's just a way to say "thank you". Or to fuel my alcoholism. Whatever sounds better.

That said, go play and have fun!

• Musashi, whose WOTC Vest Slot mod I used as a base and inspiration to make this one.
  
• Robojumper, who helped me fix a visualization bug in the UI, and for his wonderful Squad Select .
  
• Ginger, who explained me how slots worked and helped me set up this one. Thanks, friend.
