Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Update 113 Adds Magnified Optics System
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades update 113 launches an experimental build featuring a magnified optics system with realistic field of view, 1x scope behavior, accurate zeroing, and data-driven scope models.
An experimental build for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades introduces a reworked magnified optics system built with collaborator Ole.
Magnified Optics System
The new system brings correct magnification, field of view, and true 1x scope behavior to the game. Scopes feature accurate reticles with hold and drop compensation, proper First Focal Plane and Second Focal Plane behavior, and realistic exit pupil and eye relief physics with optional helper settings. Players can utilize two-eye aiming, such as the ACOG Bindon aiming concept, and adjust illumination, reticle color, and swappable reticles using moving turrets where applicable. The system also simulates visual anomalies like lens distortion, chromatic aberration, and FOV tunneling.
Testing Equipment
Four testing optics accompany the experimental release: the EVU 1-10x28mm Scope, LT 3x9 Scope, Telescopescope, and VSPrism 1x Scope. These items are available in the item spawner for testing and do not appear in Take & Hold mode.
Why this patch matters
Update 113 provides a technical overhaul for scoped weaponry, giving distance shooters deep customization and realistic optical behavior to test.
