Small update and thanks to NeIVIeSiS for the new ammo icons and front page picture.

Besides the new inventory pics and front page pic. 2 Ammo types got a bit of a change

Needle Rounds now ALSO do +3 Armor Piercing to go along with the initial +3 damage to flanked units.

Flechette Rounds now have a +1 to crit at 20% on top of the +2 damage to Organic units.

Forgot to fix a loc file change for the Acid ammo and front page change. Should be correct now.

Acid Rounds = +1 damage +1 shread

updates to the loc files to allow the ammo descriptions to better explain what the ammos really do.

Riot Rounds no longer have -1 damage and 50% chance to stun. the negative damage has been removed but they now have a 40% chance to stun.

Red Screen Rounds ave gone through a major change. The effect that allowed them to disable a weapon was bugged and the % chance to trigger that effect would not work no matter how I set it. So it was ALWAYS disabling the targets weapon which was OP. Red Screen Rounds now act like an Advanced Blue Screen Round. Less overall damage Vs robotic units but hack defense drop is much better and they now have a % chance to shut down robotic units for a short time.

Red Screen Rounds Vs Blue Screen Round
Damage = +2 / +5 (only to robotic units)
Hack Defense drop = -25 / -5 (making it easier to hack robotic units)
Stun/Shutdown chance= 20% chance / 0% chance
Bypass Shields= yes / yes

Acid Rounds =

ALL ammos now have a flat damage or ammo effect. No more scale up or down with weapon tiers. Balanced to act like base game ammo. Riot Rounds stun chance decreased from 75% to 50%. Redscreen Rounds weapon disarm chance decreased form 50% to 25%.

Acid Rounds added. If hit with Acid rounds, they deal random acid damage for up to 2 turns. Plus have a 20% chance to deal +1 Crit damage.


All ammos can be adjusted in the XComAmmo.ini file. There are 2 sets of values. If you change anything in one set, you must change it in the other set as well.
