	==~~"New"~~ Overwatch Rules==
	~~These~~ changes only apply if the '''Revert Overwatch Rules Change''' mod is '''disabled''':		==Overwatch/Reaction Rules==
			All units with a gun can enter "overwatch" allowing them to take a reactive shot against an enemy that moves at least two tiles within vision. All reaction attacks will suffer a 30% aim penalty meaning that an attack will have its final aim result multiplied by 0.7 to calculate the final hit chance. For example, if the attack would have an 80% chance to hit, the final result for a reactive attack would be 56%. For targets that are dashing, the penalty is increased to 40%.

			There are optional changes that only apply if the '''Revert Overwatch Rules Change''' mod is '''disabled''' (note this is a leftover mechanic that was made during the beta of LWOTC but is no longer usedm use at own risk):
	* Overwatch now triggers as soon as the unit moves, which makes it no longer possible to perform 1-tile moves to avoid overwatch. The implementation right now is not perfect and this change may not always function correctly, depending on factors like line of sight, although typically overwatch should now more consistently trigger as targets move or step into range.		* Overwatch now triggers as soon as the unit moves, which makes it no longer possible to perform 1-tile moves to avoid overwatch.

	* This change makes it easier to trigger overwatch while in cover, but overwatch shots now ignore 25 cover defense.		* This change makes it easier to trigger overwatch while in cover, but overwatch shots now ignore 25 cover defense.

			==Weapon Modifications==
			Weapon mods can be obtained through enemy loot drops similarly to the base game. All weapons have 3 available weapon slots and can be freely equipped and removed from them. The plasma rifle is unique in that it has a special property allowing it to have 4 weapon slots.
			Some weapon mods occupy the same slots and are thus mutually exclusive. Scopes and lasers sights cannot be used together as well as expanded magazines with autoloaders.

			==Concealment==
			On some missions, the squad can start in concealment which enemies will not be able to detect them unless within a certain range. Concealment allows you to sneak around or set up positions for an ambush. Most offensive actions and noisy actions such as breaking through windows or ramming doors will reveal the squad and make ADVENT aware of xcom presence in the area allowing them to engage when in vision. An action will reveal the soldier or squad if there is a red eye icon in the UI when selecting the action.

			During concealment there are a few additional bonuses that can be used offensively. Any overwatch set during concealment do not suffer overwatch penalties and will fire at the full aim the shot is capable of. Additionally, all enemies will behave as if they have 0 dodge (this does not mean graze band will not apply).
