Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades Update 119 Brings New Take & Hold Map and Gear
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades update 119 introduces a dark new Take & Hold map, two night-vision focused characters, and seven tactical grenades. Developer Anton also stated that the game will leave Early Access later this year.
Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades update 119 adds a fresh batch of ordnance and a new Take & Hold map to the VR sandbox. Alongside the holiday update, developer Anton announced plans for the game to exit Early Access later in the year.
Take & Hold Additions
The update introduces Dark Hallways, a new map for the Take & Hold mode. Two new playable characters arrive alongside it. Silent Sydney features a hard difficulty setting with night vision goggle progression, while Stealthy Stevie uses a standard difficulty with the same NVG progression system.
New Tactical Equipment
Seven new grenades join the arsenal, consisting of Cryo, Napalm, Mustard Gas, Tox, Laser, and Grav variants. Existing equipment progressions now include new item pools for RMR reflex sights, night vision goggles, and weapon night vision. Additionally, the infrared laser intensity on the Mk23 LAM receives a tweak.
Known Hardware Issues
Two notable technical issues accompany the release. Scopes can error out when viewed through night vision goggles for certain players. Furthermore, night vision placement and orientation are completely broken on Windows Mixed Reality headsets, a problem the developer notes may remain unfixable due to the platform's deprecation.
Why this patch matters
Update 119 delivers new content for VR players while moving toward the game's full commercial release later this year.
