What are the stats?

thanks @SculptedFool this was bugging me too

never mind, found out it was the "Pathfinders" mod that was adding hunter rifles.

I don't know how, but I have this weapon in a brand new save, but I've never installed this mod, does anyone know if another mod adds this?

Can somebody please help me? I have this mod in the long war modpack ( so there is can be old version), and in the game, this rifle can be used by anybody, even mod classes, BUT NOT THE SNIPERS, what should i do?

so where this in mod jam i want add a better clip to it but i cant

The range table says it has short and long range penalties:
These are the ideal ranges:
HUNTERRIFLE_BEAM_RANGE[11]=10
HUNTERRIFLE_BEAM_RANGE[12]=12
HUNTERRIFLE_BEAM_RANGE[13]=10

hey homie, I heard you liked Suppressors

is it mid game compatible?

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

Neat weapon to add to the mix. Would recommend trying to mod. I found that I didn't use them much, but that was because I had so many other options for classes/weapons. If you're using a smaller set of mods I think this is a really nice addition.

Ah sweet, a DMR!, I have wanted something like this for xcom for a long time :D

figured it out i had this and pathfinder enabled by accident and pathfinder's stats for the weapon overrode my adjustments to the weapon in it's own mod file. as a note for some reason pathfinder's weapon values are different from what they claim to be. As i stated my weapon's damage range was 1-5 at base, according to someone on the pathfinder mod page the weapon's base and spread are 3 and 2 respectively. could be a bug/mistake just letting everyone know

alright i'm having an issue trying to modify this weapon's damage range. For me the damage range is 1-5 which is just ridiculous. dont know why though because the file says its base damage is 4 and the spread is 2 so it should be 2-6. I tried modifying it to have a spread of 1 which should have changed it to 3-5 but after saving the changes in notepad and running the game the weapon's damage range is still 1-5. Am i doing something wrong here or is something else overriding the weapon's damage? I don't normally modify things so I don't know if I'm even messing with the files in the right place

Is there a way to tone down the volume when firing? It's REALLY loud compared to all other weapons...

@Orton Ville
I've been using this mod for my current campaign, only the last mission to go, never seen anything like what you describe. I think you need to look elsewhere for the culprit.

Hey guys, I use a 7 man squad on a mission, 3 of them rookies with hunter rifles, after what should be a flawless mission, 4 soldiers get captured, only those 3 rookies with hunter rifles are not captured everytime i re-load the same mission whatever mission whatever map, rookies with hunter rifles are the only ones left. I'll load a previous save and deploy rookies without hunter rifles and see...

How about add laser and coil version of hunter rifles?

how do i add this to a custom class?

@Compo The Smoggie

[WoTC] Pathfinders mod have this weapon included, and you can change the values in XcomPathfinderXcom.ini of that mod to tweak the weapon stats.

I've been using this mod for awhile now and I absolutely love it!

I do have one question though; is there any way to increase the amount of upgrade slots for the guns? I tried to mess around with the files and couldn't seem to do it there, but I'd like to increase the amount of slots to 6.

Love that mod good cosmetic and perfect weapon for kill <3

@Claus

Unsubscribing from the mod as per for the issues detailed below.

@Claus,

There isn't a compatibility issue between this mod and the Pathfinders mod is there?

Changing the stats here on the Hunter Rifles mod makes no difference in game, whereas, it works with your Pathfinders mod.

How do I gave the Disruptor rifle(Warlock's gun) the same same range as the weapons here?

Is there a Mercenary Plasma version of this

Follow up to protip by Nomadic

If the damage unpredictability (2 - 6 on conventional weapons) is making you reluctant to pick this weapon, here's how to edit it.

In the ini file Nomadic points you to, you will see...

HUNTERRIFLE_CONVENTIONAL_BASEDAMAGE=(Damage=4, Spread=2, PlusOne=0, Crit=3, Pierce=0, Shred=0, Tag="", DamageType="Projectile_BeamXCom")

What this means

Damage=4; is the base damage on a hit

Spread=2; is the amount of variance possible, giving a variance between 2
minimum (4-2) and 6 maximum (4+2) damage

Crit=3 is +3 damage on a critical hit.

By changing the Damage to 5 and Spread to 1 a hit provides damage of 4 to 6 and crit damage of 7 to 9, which you may find easier on your nerves =)

There are entries for magnetic and beam.
Edit as you like, but remember this is already a strong weapon with the marking ability and no soldier class exclusions.

Protip for those who don't like the stats.

Change the stats yourselves to fit your idea of what you want. Easy.

@Claus

What is the command line in the console commands to give this weapon.

As of yet, I can only use the coventional hunterrifle and even though I've resreched all the way to plasma tier with all the weapons, the mag and beam hunter rifle isn't visible as a weapon I can choose.

For instance is like a console commad like:

additem hunterrifle_bm

or

givetech hunterrifles

Thanks,

Michael.

really like it. though I also would love to have the variants the Pathfinders use

I actually like the 2-6 damage, and thought it was part of the balance for this mod. It means that there is a significant chance that a hit on a low-level Trooper won't be enough to kill them - and that even two hits won't be enough to kill an Officer or better. So then you have the choice: Do you take the normal rifle - where you're sure you can one-shot some of the low-level enemies, if you can hit, or do you take this, which means you're more likely to make the hit, but you have a chance of not making the kill? Heck, there's a lot of *Lost* this rifle won't guarantee a kill on, that a normal rifle will.

The look and feel of these rifles is great! I'm having a blast using them and thank you for creating this mod. I was wondering, however, since I'm using musashi's RPG overhaul if it were possible to add squadsight to these? The Musashi overhaul locks squadsight to sniper rifles and the odd Reaper that happens to get it in their skill tree. I'd like to be able to use these for scout recon type roles instead of having to fall back on full sniper rifles. I've already tried simply adding a +Ability line to the .ini, but it didn't seem to have any effect. Any help there would be greatly appreciated.

Great mod! One question, though - is there a way to disable the hunter mark effect in the .ini? I'm tweaking the settings to make them function similarly to the battle rifles in Long War, but I wanted to disable the mark ability (and by extension, its visuals) outright rather than just remove the bonuses from it.

will it work with loot.

So from my last post I actually am curious if it is actually possible to make the weapons give you less mobility in the ini files. I see you can change many things in there like aim and crit chance and was wondering if I could just add a line to change mobility or if that is something that would need to be added to support. Is there a way to do this?

@Umie Even if they did the same damage as the Assault Rifle it would still be better to use them. The aim and crit chance bonus alone makes them far more worth to use than Assault rifles. I wouds say that the best way to balance them is to have them also reduce mobility by 1 or maybe even 2 (they are pretty big rifles but would also work great on ever vigilant specialists).

Does this have a flashlight for the dark maps?

For me also 2nd and 3rd tier is not appear...any solution?

The description here mentions their damage range is 4-6, but ingame the damage range is 2-6. You might want to look at your config files.

i have 2 different campaign saves with this mod,both in endgame and 1 save has all 3 tiers of rifles and other has only conventional.Mod sort of broken...

I still have no Magnetic or Plasma version of these weapons :<

This is a really great mod, been using it with the classless mod, works really good with that. Hope you decide to add hunter rifles for Laser and Coil weapons now that mods have come out making them available in WOTC. Id love to have this weapon on those teirs. Aslo, wanted to add in... the weapons are amazing looking, especially mag teir. The sounds, hnnng sounds great.

I'm a little confused, the mod works great but for some reason I cannot find (or research) the 2nd or third tier of them. Have I done something wrong?

my suggestion would be to keep the smaller cartridge size, and aim bonus, but change the damage to match the assault rifle. otherwise there's absolutely no reason to use the assault rife.

giving this a thumbs down, because it's extremely broken, especially late game. there are no drawbacks to using this instead of the assault rifle. great visuals though.

is there a way to edit the damage of it?

awesome mod - awesome weapon. Completely replaces the need for the standard assault rifle, I don't have a single trooper equipped with the standard rifle... except that I wish there was something out there that would give the standard assault rifle a situational edge over the hunter because as it stands right now hunter rifle is just better in every way.

This a good mod! Just need to touch up the icon in premission briefings and in mission images.
