You know what you need when you can't solve a problem with one gun? MORE guns.

This mod aims to completely rebalance the way Pistols are used in this game, and as such, it is best played alongside my Dedicated Pistol Slot mod. That said, you don't need it for this overhaul to work, so feel free to pass over it if you are not interested in what it does. Or check it out and then decide. Up to you.

The main goal of this Overhaul was to streamline Pistols in a way akin to the linear in-game increments present for all the other weapons, as well as providing more per-soldier or per-Sharpshooter individual Pistol customization by allowing all pistols to equip visual upgrades (you can see some of them in the screenshots). The ultimate objective was to make Pistols reliable, trusty sidearms to use in situations when using your main weapon or other abilites is not permitted.

You can find all the changes I've made below, as well as a section about compatibilities and such. Keep in mind that all of these changes are configurable in the .ini, so give it a read before asking in here, mkay?

• All pistols have received a new range table, with a rough 5% aim decrease across the board.
  
• All pistols now have their dedicated range table, completely customizable on a per-tier basis (vanilla uses a single range table for all pistol tiers)
  
• All pistols now have access to upgrades slots and visual upgrades (except for any Magazine-related upgrade, which will have no model and no effect, as pistols have unlimited ammo). Weapon Fixes is needed to fix Stock interactions with pistols.
  
• All pistols now have negative armor penetration, which means that any shot against an armor equipped enemy will deal 1 less damage on top of the damage reduction provided by the armor. You will always deal a minimum of 1 point of damage, provided you hit the target or have a stock.

• No support for visual upgrades (you can equip them but model will not be visualized on the pistol itself.)

• Supports (WOTC) Weapon Tier Overhaul. My mod will detect WTO and patch the pistols accordingly.

• Supports [WotC] Coil Weapons - Plasma Tier Replacer. My mod will detect PTR and patch the now Coil pistol using Plasma stats.
  
• Supports Better Repeater BUT due to the code required to make it so, you will have to specify the damage values in my config instead of BR's one. You can find said values at the bottom of my config file.
  
• Now compatible with Primary Secondaries! You can customize the primary variants' damage, range, upgrade slots, crit chance, aim and other stats directly from my config file. BE SURE TO SUBSCRIBE TO PS BEFORE SUBSCRIBING TO MY MOD. Doing so will ensure my mod properly recognize and tweaks PS' values.
  
• By proxy, now also compatible with the Akimbo Class Mod.
