#Xcom 2 pistol mods upgrade

The War of the Chosen DLC gave them the ability to upgrade their weapons with add-ons, similar to the other playablable classes. Similar to the Grenadier's Cannon, they pack a punch and are capable of naturally shredding armor without any upgrades however, due to the SPARK's poor Aim skill, they quickly fall off at longer ranges. SPARK Weapons can only be equipped by SPARK units, introduced in the Shen's Last Gift DLC. Sniper rifles will be able to shoot as long as the enemy is in a teammate LOS, but with an aim and critical chance penalty Sniper rifles require two actions to fire/overwatch. Although not unique to sniper rifles, firing sniper rifle beyond normal sight range with squad sight skill will be penalized base on distance. Sniper rifles can only be used by Sharpshooters. They do high damage but have smaller clips than assault rifles. Clip size 4.Д¬annons are the heavy weapons carried by Grenadiers. They gain double aim bonus at close range relative to assault rifles, but suffer aim penalties at longer range. They are high damage, short range weapons.

Shotguns can only be equipped by Rangers. They are generalist weapons, not excelling in any particular situation. Rifles are the standard issue weapons for Rookies, Specialists and Psi operatives.
