# Gub's Belt Fed Super Sweeper
AI disclosure: built using Claude Opus 5.5.
**This mod is lightly tested. Please report any bugs in the comments and include your HD2Runtime log (see the bottom of this page).**
## What's new in 1.1
- **HE now fires the BFGL's own original grenade** instead of a GL-21 grenade.
- **HE keeps vanilla pin-point accuracy.** The shotgun spread now only applies to BUCKSHOT.
- **The spread follows the gun in your hand**, including after you die, drop it or pick it back up.
- **Pellets per shot is now a setting** (default 12, like the Sweeper).
## Required mods
- **Bingus Shared Loader** v15+ (load it **last**)
- **HD2Runtime** 0.28.0+
- **Mod Options Menu** (optional, v18+ Loader): only needed to change the settings
## What it does
Turns the GL-28 Belt-Fed Grenade Launcher into a belt-fed shotgun and grenade launcher. Hold **Reload** to pick from the game's own ammo menu:
- **HE**: the BFGL's own grenade, with vanilla pin-point accuracy
- **BUCKSHOT**: real SG-97 Sweeper pellets, 12 per shot, full auto off the belt, with a shotgun spread
Your real Sweeper is unchanged.
## How to use it
1. Close the game. Disable every other BFGL mod (Barbecue, Universal Grenade Launcher, any MK2 test build).
2. In Arsenal, import the ZIP and enable it together with Bingus Shared Loader and HD2Runtime. Put the Loader last, then Purge and Deploy.
3. Call in a **fresh** BFGL. HE is accurate right away.
4. Hold **Reload** to switch between HE and BUCKSHOT.
5. Settings are in **Escape > MODS > Super Sweeper**:
- **Super Sweeper**: turning it off gives you the vanilla BFGL back (call in a fresh one)
- **Pellets per shot**: 1-20, default 12
- **Buckshot spread**: 5-1500, default 225. BUCKSHOT only.
## Quirks / known issues
- **Short buckshot delay:** when you first hold a BFGL, and after it's been out of your hands for a few seconds (death, drop, pickup), BUCKSHOT fires a tight cluster for a few seconds until the mod finds the gun. HE is never affected.
- **Background search:** for about 10-30 seconds after that, the mod keeps searching in the background. You might notice very light stutter.
- **Only one BFGL mod at a time.** It conflicts with every other mod that changes the BFGL.
- **Memory-only:** restarting the game always restores the vanilla BFGL.
- **Game updates** will likely disable it until it's updated. If the game data doesn't match exactly, it refuses to change anything.
- **Use at your own risk:** this mod writes directly to the game's memory.
