Rock Climber mod

The goal of this mod is to add ways for Xcom & ADVENT to move around on the map. It does so by adding 2 abilities, 1 item and 1 vest.

The item has charges and will be removed from the unit’s inventory after use. The vest adds a simple ability with a short cooldown and unlimited use.

The abilities can be added to character groups (ie. all ‘AdventTrooper’) or a single unit (ie. ‘AdvTrooperM3’) or even a soldier class.

My Playable Codex mod is riddled with balancing & general issues, so I plan to remake it, starting by a complete rework of the skill tree. They’ll focus on a gimmick of the unit, making that particularity better and more fun to use.

The class isn’t balanced for vanilla at all, but it can be made so

Skill tree

The trees as they are now (2025-12-27) are not really thought out, the new ones are as follow :
