✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly fixes a real balance problem—Juggernaut becomes useless against mechs.
- Small but active community (164 endorsements) shows it works for many.
- Lightweight tweak—no bloat, just the fix you need.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018—might not be compatible with the latest XCOM 2 patches or DLC.
- No detailed patch notes or documentation—you're on your own for specifics.
- Only addresses one ability—if you want broader class rebalances, look elsewhere.
For XCOM 2 players who love the Juggernaut skill but hate watching it become dead weight against mechanized enemies. If you're tired of that late-game power drop, this is a quick fix. Skip if you want a full overhaul—this is a targeted tweak.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the base game's Juggernaut ability unlocked before expecting changes.
- If you use other gameplay mods, check load order—this tweak might conflict with rebalance mods.
- Back up your config files if you're manually installing, just in case.
