Overwatch PCS bonus transferable?

[Thrair]

So, I finally figured out where the steam workshop was hiding the Long War ini files.

Right now I'm curious about possible ways of fixing the issues with shotguns and overwatch. First thing I wanted to look at is perhaps giving Shotguns the bonus granted by one of those PCSs. Or duplicating their effects.


I know in XCOM 1, you could assign a single perk to any item, but I don't know if that's the case in XCOM 2. And if the PCS bonus is even counted as a perk.

Anyone more familiar with XCOM2's system able to shed some light on this?

You can assign as many perks as you want to an item, but it has to be done by modifying the template of the item -- takes the SDK, basically. To modify vanilla items we used the class LWTemplateMods; for our custom ones we just put it in the original template.
