Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Update 118 Alpha 1 Overhauls Reflex Sights

Update 118 Alpha 1 arrives on the H3VR alpha branch with modernized reflex sight systems, new attachments, and removed outdated optics.

Anton Hand launched Update 118 Alpha 1 for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades on the Steam alpha branch, migrating reflex sights to new rendering and control systems.

Reflex Sight Migration

All reflex sights use updated systems with better rendering, consistent UI, physical controls, wider zeroing ranges, overridden colors, and realistic reticles. The VUH1 Reflex Sight and Holosight Long FDE join the weapon pool. Older short and tall holosights and the 3x magnifier are removed. The Sustenance Mp7 drops its built-in reflex sight in favor of an attachable version.

Optics and Attachment Changes

The ACOS TA31 set gains a functional fiberoptic-driven reticle brightness. The Ham Comboscope Aux Red Dot and G36 comboscope reflex module use the updated reflex systems. A range attendee config panel and additional scene props are also included.

Bug Fixes

Fixes address broken reflex sights, missing and incorrect itemspawner images, Com4 interaction zone placement, and a broken EM5 front sight flipping mechanic.

Why this patch matters

This alpha update standardizes game optics onto a technical baseline ahead of the main branch migration.
