Everyone's (least) favorite operator from Rainbow Six Siege finally makes in into XCOM 2!



Making use of the ballistic shield and a pistol, the Blitz engages ADVENT operators at close range. The Blitz can be specced into three branches: the Blitz (disorients enemy operators and runs in to finish the job,) the Montagne (holds the line against all odds and provides mobile cover for the squad,) and the Clash (provides a mix of offensive and defensive power, a middle ground between the two other specializations.)

These are REQUIRED files, DO NOT attempt to run this mod without them.



If you only want to use this class, and not in addition to the Long War 2 classes, follow these instructions:

1. Go to steam/steamapps/workshop/content/268500/1335226018/config/XComClassData

2. Add apostrophes at the beginning of each class that you do not want in-game. It should look something like ";+SoldierClasses="LWOTC_Technical" ;Technical" without the quotation marks.

3. That's all you need to do!



Features a custom class icon. Special thanks to Musashi for their Ballistic Shields and Primary Secondaries mod, NewBie for some of his code that I borrowed from his Shieldbearer class mod, and Favid for their Long War 2 Classes and Perks and Extended Perk Pack mods. All authors allow for free use of their assets. Requires WOTC.

Please note that I have no experience with balancing, and thus this class may be either overpowered or underpowered. From gameplay testing, the class seems to err on the side of overpowered. I figured this was OK since most people play with enemy-enhancing mods anyway. If you have any concerns or suggestions for balancing, please bring them up in the discussion tab. Thank you for taking the time to view this mod, and happy Blitzing!
