New Game+ Graviton Beam Emitter mod for Xenonauts

__________________________________________________ ___________________

About:

Adds the Graviton Beam Emitter, a BLAME! inspired weapon for soldier use.

Changes the gameplay into a more fast-paced, reckless and overkill experience overall. You get the weapon after researching Alien Plasma Rifle, which is very early on.

The weapon is lightweight, features two firing modes, 1000 ammo, extreme damage, 1,5 tile area of effect per shot, low TU per shot, very high accuracy and comes in unlimited amount for all soldiers to use. Turn entire levels into burned wastelands, demolish houses and murder multiple aliens in a single turn. Use manual fire to destroy walls to walk through them.

BONUS: For added exciting challenge, try to beat the game with a limited 1-4 hero squad using GBEs.

SPECIAL NOTE:

This is not completely a cheat mod. I called it a newgame+ for a reason.

You will kill aliens fast, yes, but relying on this weapon has some things you will notice:
1. Loot is extremely limited due to explosions: less money for the Geoscape
2. The confidence the gun gives you encourages you to rush: easier to die
3. Less money: cant afford armor. You may end up running through the whole game naked
4. Less money: cant afford bases. Aliens can terrorize much of the world easier
5. Less money: Less upgrades. You may need to skip a lot of tiers to survive
