Hello again.

If any of you are still following this project, or stumbling upon it now years later since its last update, you've probably seen this coming.

As of today, due to my continuing mental health problems, I am officially announcing my retirement from XCOM 2 modding. I am seeing a doctor regularly, and I am okay, so please do not worry about me. However, I just do not have the mental or emotional energy to tackle large projects like this anymore.

I still can't believe that this small project I made for fun during my free time while going back to university burned so brightly and so deeply in this community, and I am so humbled and so very grateful for all of you who loved it, and especially all of you who continued to add on to it to more people could continue to enjoy it for years after I stopped updating.

For a time, I thought of this project as a personal failure--a reminder of the potential my sickness stole from me. Now, however, when I think about how so many of you got to enjoy your XCOM 2 experience just a little bit more thanks to my work, I realize just how successful I was in making a real impact on the world, even if just a tiny dent in a small corner of it.

This project will stay up. It should still work fine in Vanilla XCOM 2, and, to be honest, that's still how I prefer to play the game.

If something about the Battle Rifle Pack inspires you, please feel free to install it and learn from it. Add to it and repost it as a new mod. Use some part of the code in your own mod. I borrowed code and ideas from other mods myself, so I feel that it belongs to everyone now.

Goodbye, and good luck.
