Weapon primary roles?
« on: October 30, 2019, 03:50:38 PM »

I see that weapons have "primary role" listed as their stat. These roles range from Anti Armor, General, Suppression, Anti shield, and so forth. Does it do anything in the game? Does it affect AI behavior, and if so is there a way to set guidelines for it?

No its just a descriptive string. All of those entries in that area are just for description. AI hints and tags defined in the weapon.csv file affect AI behavior, as do the weapon's statistics themselves in some cases.
