XCOM2 Alien Heads/Trophies Props

[Ratman258]

The idea for this mod would be to make soldiers be able to wear alien heads/viscera on their belts/waist as trophies, similar to Geralt in the Witcher Series. If possible, it could function as when you gain an alien corpse you also gain the respective alien customization option, to make it more lore-friendly. The props could be classified as legs to make it logistically easier to add or if possible could just be added to a completely different category.

Hm. That's not a terrible idea, actually.

 

Since grenades are already visible on the belt, what if you make them an equippable utility item? Maybe a Proving Grounds project (requires one associated corpse). You can equip the trophy, and it gives some sort of passive bonus (maybe different based on which alien it is?). You'd just need to make it competitive, stats-wise, so people would be willing to take them.

 

Although I also have the funny idea of using the heads as actual throwable items (like grenades), that causes guaranteed panic to enemies in a certain radius.

 

In either case, the mesh/texture work wouldn't be very difficult.

Yes this, a thousand times this. THe idea like throwing severed head and dead cows into castles with catapults, but a grenade. Brilliant, to the original post as well, definately be good on like a Predator mod.

if someone is interest in making such a mod, i would happily "create" (rip the head of of a sectoid and fill the inside of the mesh^^ [like in my mod]) the models... im just no good at unreal script and such, but i know blender a bit ;)

That would be good, maybe have a lore-friendly version and goofy version? If they are an equipable utility item, they could also grant bonuses, like a muton head grants like 5 defense or something like that.
