Anyone know if there's a mod that will allow you to prevent the Anarchy's Children component of the Reinforcement Pack from functioning? I wanted Alien Hunters, but get tired of all the spikey bits.

That's the theory, but I do that and still get shoulder spikes and the like galore with random soldiers.

Granted, I do too. The armor still cycles COA parts.

I usually just switch it, though. That plus the Uniforms mod (https://www.nexusmods.com/xcom2/mods/285/) is how I cope.

Not all COA addons are that bad, though. Their classic gas mask is okay, the WW1 "hun" helmet has a pig on it, and once you hit the Warden armors COA parts are the only way to go if you want a matte, non-shiny trooper (for a classic camo look, say).
