@Malachite_Dragon:

This is the proper link.

The link to the continuation of the mod doesn't work.

@boisegangpc
It will probably overwrite the balancing of early-game weapon upgrades (though it really shouldn't have to), but otherwise it looks fine.

PrometheusDarko and I have decided that it will be easier to have me upload changes myself. To allow this, I've re-uploaded the mod here .

Can anyone confirm if this works with the "Better Superior Attachments" mod?

Got it! Hope to see the mod updated soon :)!

@darkkorruption
It looks like the upload didn't go properly as several files are missing from the Workshop version. I'll inform PrometheusDarko and try to get this fixed soon.

@Celestus of Borg
Thanks for the quick reply! unfortunately I don't see it :/ either on the Mod Menu Options or the Config folder in my games for xcom 2. I only see Grimmy's mod for the Mod Menu Options

Not a problem! It is intentional; you'll want to either use Mod Config Menu or run XCOM 2 with Weapon Upgrades Expanded loaded, then look for Documents\my games\XCOM2\XComGame\Config\XComWeaponUpgradesExpanded.ini

Hey guys sorry to bug you so recently after you updated your mod but there is no XComUpgradesExpanded.ini folder anymore for the prototype weapon bonus values. Was this intentional or is it no longer there as an ini file for editing? Thanks for the mod btw great stuff :3!

Updated, sorry for the delay!

@Zorbaz
Not quite yet. I've contacted PrometheusDarko, but I'm still waiting for him to upload the update.

is this good now?

I've finished the update, but I need PrometheusDarko to upload it and I have no idea when he'll get back online.

yeah a lot of attachment mods aren showing, its a shame too because I cannot play without these varied attachments lol

I'm guessing the latest patch broke a bunch of stuff. I'll try to get a fix out soon.

Just to add to the post I just made, it's also not granting the soldier the Chain Shot ability.

So I found the Prototype Repeater in my game and it has no art assets, just a placeholder image. No icon in the list of weapon upgrades, no overlay on the weapon icon on the bottom-right corner once equipped, and it doesn't change the appearance of the 3D model of the soldier's weapon.

I edited the ini folders in order to create more timed loot instances on enemies however the expanded attachments do not show up anymore. Any idea on how to edit the ini files to where they show up?

Alright,cool.

No, no overrides, and no known conflicts.

Does this have any overrides?

I have to have this mod.

i'd love to see a upgrade for a lighter frame that gives less dmg, but more movement

If anyone has any suggestions or requests for me, feel free to let me know.

I really like this mod please don't balls it up, thanks

I'll contact you via PM to continue this conversation.

If I offer to do so, do you have any requirements you'd want me to meet?

I am, yes.

Are you still looking for someone to take over this mod?

Please update to latest dlc shen's last gift.

It seems to be working fine with the new patch and grimey's loot mod, at least so far.

What about the newest 12.05 DLC compatibility.

Do I need to start a new game for this mod to work or will it work in an existing game? Just got to Tier 3 armor in my game and I don't want to restart a new campaign.

@julius86, @José, The rarity of Protoype mods is meant to be the balancing factor, as is the fact that when replaced they are destroyed. As well, when a team member using them dies, unless his/her body is recovered, the protoype mod is lost. All in all, the low drop rate should prevent you from having too many of these.

As for the "Prototype" name needing a debuff, I beg to differ there. Just because it's a Prototype doesn't mean it needs to be flawed. Rare, sure, but it doesn't have to be flawed to be a Prototype. I do appreciate the feedback however, and may incorporate a "balanced" version later on, once my personal life dies down enough to allow me to continue working on this mod in ernest again.

@julius86
I disagree with you on the stock. The vanilla stocks have the same effect on the Infantry, and if anything, I think they're the most underpowered of the prototype attachments. I will agree that they do need a debuff to prove their 'prototype' status, but I would propose that another type of mods, a level above prototype. 'Military-grade,' for example.

Great mod but I think Protype mods are a bit over powered. It should come with a negative effect like; decrease Aim, crit or has a % chance to use a extra round of ammo when fireing.

Also The stock mod that guarantees damage even if missed is also OP. Espesially if you line this up to the infantry class mod with "Light em up". Should ethier give it a % chance to do damage when missed, give it a negative affect like "-1 ammo capacity", or make it much more rare.

So is this compatible with Grimy's Loot Mod?

Is it compatible with Anarchy's Children?

Is fully compatible with the latest Grimy’s Loot Mod ?

You could make this work with the loot box mod if you add the upgrade to the list in the .ini file for the loot mod, just add some 'prt' upgrades to the pool. You can also add mod weapons to the pool as the mod author's .ini file works more like console commands than getting everything directly from his mod item pool.

is this mod compatible with the loot box mod?

Please add patch&mod compatibility with the Anarchy’s Children dlc and with the newest patch.

anybody can guide me how to edit the ini.file to have more prototype upgrades drop? just a little bit more, i only get about 1 prototype upgrades per campaign.. which sucks.

Wait so the one prototype I was always getting on the intro mission was unintentional? I always thought that was a "hey look at this, more as you progress" teaser.

I feel like Prototype mods come too late in the game. anyway to make them drop earlier? usually i'm done researching all my avatars.. Then i get prototype mod, finished the game only receiving one prototype mod..

Awsome mod, PrometheusDarko! And congrats withg your wedding!

Can l assume that this and Grimy's loot mod fight like rats/cats/wolverines in a sack? I have them both installed at the moment and l get some odd behaviour around the sword items but otherwise OK. I dont think l am far enough into the game to appreciate if prototypes are droppping but if anything was going to go wrong it would be these given the loot table drops from Grimy's mod.

@BlueRaja:

Thank you for this info. I'm in the process of planning my wedding at the moment, so time to work on mods is limited but I will address this ASAP.

BUG: You can equip a prototype mod and a superior mod on the same gun (I think the prototype has to be applied first? Not sure)

compatible with the extra weapon upgrade slots mod???
