Editing XComWeaponTuning.ini didn't help, because (and I should have seen this sooner) the team build Hunter Rifle schematics from the original mod aren't being hidden. I've no idea why. The .ini here matches the SMG bridge that hides those as it should and there're no typos in the schematic names I can see. Very weird.

This mod's XComWeaponTuning.ini adds in a requirement for 0 "CorpseAdventScoutCaptain" corpses for MG and BM weapons. I assume those are from the Pathfinders mod. I think that was Sgtknispel23's problem and why I'm seeing the same thing. I've edited the file to remove that requirement and I'll post back.

Is there any way to change the classification of this to a sniper rifle instead?

seperate mod

are you using the seperate Hunter Rifles mod or the full Pathfinders mod?

nope have not used weapon and item overhaul

Are you running Weapon & Item overhaul? it's been updated n makes this mod unnecessary if you are.

so i tried to build the mag rifles but i cant,it has 2 sets of costs and has a red 1 in the cost

Ah yes, found it, thanks.

I think there's a separate bridge for Pathfinders

Does this work with the Pathfinder mod that also includes Hunter Rifles, or does it only work for the standalone version?
