Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Update 111 Patch 1 Overhauls Institution and Weapons
The latest H3VR patch introduces the H416 rifle, refines Institution level enemies and ammo panels, and fixes numerous navigation and collision bugs.
Update 111 Patch 1 for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades arrives with a replacement firearm, structural tweaks to the Institution level, and wide-ranging bug fixes.
New Firearms and Item Spawner
The update adds the H416 rifle, replacing older iterations with a dimensionally accurate version. The item spawner now includes all Update 111 objects in the Recent Objects manifest, and attachable firearms can now be recycled properly.
Institution and Construct Adjustments
Sentinel Constructs feature improved body-intersection detection, drop health when destroyed, and chase players within limited bounds. The Iris Construct gains a targeting laser and a less durable center chunk, while its AI can now be properly disabled. Polymorphic and recursive encryption materials have visual legibility adjustments, and ballistic parameters prevent overpenetration.
Ammo Panel Upgrades
The ammo panel spawn round button can be held down to repeat cartridge spawns. The panel now recognizes round types from integrated attachment weapons like the MP7 Lambda, correctly remembers the last selected round class, and handles edge cases where weapons outside a character era set still spawn default ammunition.
Navigation, Collision, and Audio Fixes
Fixes address Sosig ladder distances and separation issues, missing collision and dead ends in Hydro by adding powered ziplines, and map kiosk player indicator orientations. Occlusion culling issues, Lion 2-5x scope save and load errors, and supply point box stacking glitches are also resolved, alongside a missing sound effect and a grammatical typo.
Why this patch matters
Patch 1 delivers meaningful quality-of-life adjustments to ammo management and construct combat while cleaning up legacy navigation bugs across multiple scenes.
