About this mod
This mod changes assault rifle and/or submachine gun overwatch behavior. Instead of firing a burst upon overwatch triggering, the aforementioned weapon types will instead fire single shots. Unfortunately, due to what appears to be a hardcoded limitation, there is no way to select between burst or single shot overwatch reactions.

This mod changes assault rifle and submachine gun overwatch behavior. Instead of firing a burst upon overwatch triggering, the aforementioned weapon types will instead fire single shots. Unfortunately, due to what appears to be a hardcoded limitation, there is no way to select between burst or single shot overwatch reactions. This is due to the fact that a hardcoded function g_overwatch seems to specifically reference the "overwatch" action ID; so trying to make a second overwatch action with a different ID completely breaks functionality. However, I am an amateur modder at best; maybe someone in the future will figure it out.
Also available is a version that only changes assault rifles. I felt like this was needed to help submachine guns fill the CQB niche better. With these changes, SMGs and shotguns rule for CQB overwatch with their vanilla bonus point-blank damage, whereas ARs are excellent at mid-range OW, but are inferior to CQB weapons in CQB, as they should be.
