Swelter is a Half-Life 2 mod created by the SnowDropEscape development team in 2023. The game takes place in City 545, located in a post-Soviet Central Asian country occupied by the Combine. The main character is an agent sent by the European Resistance to assassinate the leader of the Black Brigade, a commune of anarchists, after a series of armed riots. The game revamps weapon mechanics with aim down sights, new magazine systems, and updated animations for guns in game. The game also has an extra chapter unrelated to the main story that takes place before the events of Half-Life 2 inspired by the Valve game Portal.
The following weapons appear in the video game Swelter (Video Game):
Handguns
Heckler & Koch USP Match
The Heckler & Koch USP Match returns from Half-life 2. It's based on the 9x19mm chambered variant with an 18-round magazine and is equipped with TRU-DOT Adjustable Night Sights. The pistol is used by the City 545 resistance and Combine city police.
Colt Anaconda
The Colt Anaconda returns as the "Officer's Revolver .357", using the same model from Half-Life 2. It is loaded with a 6 round speed-loader and is fired in single action only. It is first found on the roof of a school right next to a dead Combine elite and is only used by the player in-game.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
The Heckler & Koch MP7 returns from Half-Life 2 as the "Submachine Gun". It is based on the model from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive but modified to make it more closely resemble the HL2 version. It can also no longer fire grenades and its second barrel has been accordingly removed. It uses 30-round magazines that hold 45 rounds. It is used by standard Combine units, the Resistance, and Black Battalion members.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD3
The Heckler & Koch MP5SD3 from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is known as the "Pre-war Submachine Gun" in-game. When aiming down the sights, the player character looks over the rear sight. It is used by the Professor, Black Battalion "Storm troopers", and liquidators in the bonus chapter.
Rifles
AK-74 with GP-30 grenade launcher
An AK-74 with a GP-30 grenade launcher appears in game as the "Pre-War Assault Rifle". Its model is a modified version of the "AK-47" from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and retains some of its quirks such as an AK-47-style front sight. It is found in Chapter 3 in a bunker and is also used by Black Battalion "storm-troopers"; it's also the only gun to have an achievement linked it.
Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle
The fictional Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle from Half-Life 2 reappears. Unlike its original depiction, its pulse plugs only contain one shot before being replaced, making it more akin to a belt-feed. Its secondary dark energy orb launcher now also needs to be reloaded instead of having the entire ammo pool in the gun at once.
Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine
A Mosin Nagant M38 Carbine fitted with a PU sniper scope appears in game as the "Sniper Rifle" and is found in Chapter 1 in a tutorial-like sniper section. It is loaded round-by-round due to the scope blocking insertion of stripper clips. A scopeless Mosin is used by an NPC miner at the start of Chapter 2; this variant can only be used by the player through cheats.
Shotguns
Franchi SPAS-12
The SPAS-12 returns as the "Shotgun". The model is based on the one from Left 4 Dead 2. Like the original HL2, it holds an underloaded 6 shells in an 8-round tube. It no longer has the "fire both barrels" secondary attack, instead being replaced by an also-impossible 2-round burst. It is used by Overwatch shotgunners, Resistance shotgunners, and Black Battalion Stormtroopers.
Launchers
M79
The M79 first appears in the last map of Chapter 2 where it's given by the Black Battalion to shoot down a Hunter-Chopper. Unlike every other ranged weapon in the game, its sights cannot be used. Its ammunition is found significantly earlier than the launcher, as its grenades can also be thrown as impact-detonated munitions.
Mounted rocket launcher
A vaguely Panzerschreck-like improvised rocket launcher is used as a mounted weapon by the City 545 Resistance.It is loaded from the front, and is aimed by using the handles of a bicycle. It fires the same ammo as the "RPG" from Half-Life 2.
Grenades
MK3A2 Offensive Hand Grenade
The MK3 offensive hand grenade from HL2 appears in-game as just "Grenade". It is primarily found in puzzle sections with turrets, ammo resupply boxes, and hidden stashes in Chapter 2. It is commonly used by Combine soldiers if a player "camps" behind cover for too long.
"Grenade for Launcher"
As mentioned in the M79 section above, its ammunition can be used as standalone impact grenades as the "Grenade for Launcher". It is a 40mm shell but with a strange "wind-up" modification. As stated in the M79 section, the Grenade for Launcher is found much earlier than the launcher itself, in Chapter 1.
