Secondary Weapons are now all available for the Soldier class.

Apart from Starting Weapons and Armor, all equipment will now become finite and manufactured or looted individually.

GREMLIN Drones have now been split into three variants, Medical ANGELS, Utility GREMLINS or Combat HYDRAS. Each provides relevant abilities with more abilities on more advanced drones.

Most enemies will now progress using the same rules and equipment as XCom.

Early ADVENT soldiers will begin with equipment and training on the same level as XCom rookies with conventional weapons

The late game ADVENT soldier will be dangerous as a by product of the equipment they carry and the perks and ranks they have achieved.

New Divisions: AEGIS (Tech and Shield Specialists) and NOX (Shadow Operatives)

New Late Game Alien Divisions: Muton Army and more.

Enemies will now consistently drop gear, supplies, weapon fragments, crafting materials and occasionally even equipment like weapons, armor and grenades that they are currently using along with their corpses.

Fully Compatible with Grimy's Loot Mod

Loot that is dropped by enemies can be used to create weapon upgrades, implants, weapons, armor, grenades and even blueprints for sustainable manufacturing.

More technologies are dependent on first discovering pieces of the alien equipment for analysis.

The strategy layer will be re-balanced with taking territory as primarily a method of interrupting more facilities instead of gaining resources.

To gain more resources extra missions will need to be planned in the comms room.
