Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Update 112a2 Brings Build Pipeline Tests and Audio Overhauls
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Update 112a2 arrives on the alpha branch with MLok rail support for multiple firearms, revised target encryption behavior, and extensive audio updates. The patch also swaps out several legacy weapons and fixes inventory spawns.
Developer Anton Hand has deployed Update 112a2 to the alpha branch of Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades. This release tests a new build pipeline following a development setup migration while adding hardware modularity and weapon audio refinements.
Weapon Additions and Loadout Swaps
MLok rail support is now available on the SCR AR15 Pistol, MX410, Mk 12, M2 Tactical, AKM Tactical, P762, Sport ACR, Evo3 Stealth, Evo3 S1 Carbine, and Evo3 S2 Micro. In the weapon roster, Bling/Bubba15 is replaced by PEN15, and AR15SBR is replaced by PDC15 using ObjectID substitution registers to route old items to new ones.
Target Encryption Adjustments
Refractive Encryption now teleports and fires its weapon after 0.1 seconds instead of instantly, ensuring multi-projectile attacks like shotgun shells strike reliably. Orthogonal Encryption now rotates 180 degrees per hit instead of 90 degrees to prevent unhit faces from getting stuck facing away.
Audio and Handling Overhauls
G-Series Handguns now use the modern handling audio authored for the G41 release. Non-.50 series Deagle pistols receive upgraded audio to match the .50 series. The G36 bolt forward sound and the hammerless 520 shotgun racking sound are also adjusted.
Bug Fixes and Inventory Corrections
Muzzle effects now clean up properly when swapping muzzle devices. The SW41 12-round magazine now spawns with a full 12 rounds instead of 10. Angled MLok foregrips have their missing itemspawner reference restored, MP iron sights have corrected flipping behavior, and E79 scopes can now be picked up normally.
Why this patch matters
Update 112a2 delivers foundational build pipeline testing alongside broad quality-of-life adjustments to weapon audio, target mechanics, and spawn quantities.
