# TACTICAL INFORMATION

  • Scouting Protocol is an additional ability, given to any soldier with a GREMLIN equipped.
  • Scouting Protocol does not break concealment or alert enemies in any other way.
  • Unlike Scanning Protocol, Scouting Protocol does not reveal hidden Faceless or burrowed Chryssalids. 
  • The purpose of Scouting Protocol is to provide safe scouting during the early game, without having to rely on Concealment. 
  • Similar to XCOM operatives, GREMLIN's vision will no go through hard cover.
  • Scouting Protocol does not provide squadsight. 


# INSTALLATION

Extract the contents of the downloaded archive into the mod folder: 

..\XCOM 2\XCom2-WarOfTheChosen\XComGame\Mods

Or subscribe to steam version of the mod:

# CONFIGURATION

By default, Scouting Protocol:
  • Costs one action.
  • Has no cooldown.
  • Has infinite charges.
  • Does not end turn.

All of this, as well as ability cast range and reveal radius can be configured in "Config\XComScoutingProtocolWOTC.ini".
For example, you can make Scouting Protocol a free action, but give it a 1-2 turn cooldown. Or give yourself only a couple of charges per mission. 
Giving Scouting Protocol a huge reveal radius does not really work, due to cover blocking vision. 

# COMPATIBILITY

This is a WOTC version. For vanilla version go here:

Scouting Protocol is simply an ability attached to GREMLINs, so it should be compatible with anything that does not replace default GREMLIN names.
