TIRED OF YOUR REBELS HAVING THE PUNIEST GUNS? MAKE ‘EM FULLY LOADED & UPGRADE THEIR ARSENAL

Give your rebels that shiny MG w/shield

This mod gives rebels, especially those patrolling roads, bases, & cities, improved weaponry. It will also alter rebel weaponry on the frontlines.

NOTES:

v1 – Upgrade rifle, shotgun, machinegun (MG w/ shield), & add SMG

This version upgrades the assault rifle to the ones used by the Blackhand, the shotgun to the full-auto shotgun, the MG to the one with a shield, and adds the SMG to the rebel arsenal.
This bumps up gun variety from 3 to 4.

v2 – Upgrade rifle, shotgun, machinegun (MG w/ shield)

This version upgrades the assault rifle to the ones used by the Blackhand, the shotgun to the full-auto shotgun, the MG to the one with a shield
This upgrades all 3 guns without adding the SMG, making gun variety = 3

v3 – Upgrade rifle, shotgun, stock machinegun

This version upgrades the assault rifle to the ones used by the Blackhand, the shotgun to the full-auto shotgun

v4 – Upgrade rifle, shotgun, add SMG, remove MG

This version upgrades the assault rifle to the ones used by the Blackhand, the shotgun to the full-auto shotgun, adds SMG to the arsenal, but entirely removes any MGs.

EXTRA NOTES:

The vanilla XML file is included, so are the modded ones.

I’ve changed out lines in the code such as editorentitiesweapons�1_wieldedwpn_010_machine_gunwpn_010_machine_gun.ee

With editorentitiesweapons�1_wieldedwpn_011_machine_gunwpn_011_machinegun.ee

This replaces the original heavy MG with the MG w/shield.

Alternatively, you can switch out tags on each gun (I myself have had less success with this method, but still give it a shot)

Rebels use guns marked with tags such as “aoc” “aoc_private” “aoc_gen_frontline”, etc. aoc_private = rebels that dont spawn in frontlines
Just add / remove these tags and test if their arsenal changed to your liking.

Of course, don’t forget to convert XML to BIN via Ashen’s Mod Tool’s “PropertyContainer” exe, then put the BIN into your dropzone -> settings folder

BUGS / ODDITIES:

So far, minor bug where they don’t hold the guns properly. Very minor cosmetic bug.
