Swelter is a Half-Life 2 mod created by the SnowDropEscape development team in 2023. Taking place before the events of Half-Life 2 in the post-Soviet Central Asian City 545, the main character is an agent sent by the European Resistance to assassinate the leader of the Black Battalion, a commune of anarchists, due to a series of disagreements. Swelter 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, "Incident in Aperture", that is inspired by Portal.

Note: Swelter has a configurable viewmodel FOV which can be changed through the options menu. There are three settings: close, medium, and far. All screenshots on this page were taken on the "medium" setting.

The following weapons appear in the video game Swelter:

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. Like the original game, the only NPCs that use the weapon are Civil Protection officers.

+==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 the most common weapon in the game and is used by every faction.

+==Heckler & Koch MP5SD3==
-The [[Heckler & Koch MP7]] returns from Half life 2 as the "Sub-macine gun" unlike its older half life variant it removes the second barrel and remodels it from the Mp7 prototype to the standard Mp7, despite the model feeding a 20-round magazine in game it uses 45-rounds in game, it is used by the City 545 resistance and standard combine units, resistance and Black battalion members.
+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 instead of through the peep hole. It is an NPC-only weapon in the main campaign where it is used by Academic and Black Battalion stormtroopers. In the bonus chapter "Incident in Aperture" it is used by the liquidators and is the only firearm available.

-The [[MP5SD3]] is based on the MP5SD3 From [[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive]], it has been re-animated and has seen minor improvement's, it has is stock collapsed at all time, and the iron sights are incorrectly lined up, it is used by the '''Professor''','''Black Battalion''' '''"Storm troopers"''' and liquidators in the bonus chapter.
+==AK-74 with GP-30 grenade launcher==
-[[File:MP5SD3.jpg|thumb|none|Heckler & Koch MP5SD3 with S-E-F trigger group and stock extended ]]
+An [[AK-74]] with a [[GP-30]] grenade launcher appears in game as the "Pre-War Assault Rifle + Grenade Launcher". Its model is a modified version of the "AK-47" from ''[[Counter-Strike: Global Offensive]]'' and retains its [[AK-47]]-style front sight and handguard. It is found only once in the game, inside a safe in the Overwatch Nexus in Chapter 3, where picking it up with also unlock the achievement "Echoes from the past"; it is also used by Black Battalion stormtroopers. Versions of the AK without the grenade launcher are used by NPCs in the game; this variant can only be acquired through cheats.

+==Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle==
+The fictional Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle from ''Half-Life 2'' reappears, this time named the "Combine Pulse Assault Rifle". Unlike its original depiction, its pulse plugs only contain one shot before being replaced, and its entire magazine is replaced when reloading, making it more akin to a belt-feed system. Its secondary dark energy orb launcher now also needs to be reloaded, instead of having the entire ammo pool in the gun at once.

+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.

-==Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle (AR2)==
+=Shotguns=
-The Overwatch Standard Issue Pulse Rifle (Called Ar2 in game), is a fictional weapon mainly used by the Combine. It fires powerful pulse energy rounds from 30-round pulse plugs. Its secondary fire mode is a dark energy orb launcher, which launches orbs of dark energy that can disintegrate enemies, it feeds from "spark plugs" and a container of "dark energy which is loaded into the right side of the rifle.
+==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 they can also be used standalone.

+A vaguely [[Panzerschreck]]-like improvised rocket launcher is used as a mounted weapon. It is loaded from the front, and is aimed by using an attached bicycle handlebar. It uses the same rockets as the "RPG" from ''Half-Life 2''.

+==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. Although grenades can be seen on the models of some rebels, they never use them, and the only characters to use the grenades are Combine soldiers.

+=="Grenade for Launcher"==
-The [[Spas-12]] returns from [[Half-Life 2]] as just "Shotgun", it still has the HL2 problem of despite being modelled with an 8-round tube only holding 6+1, the spas-12 is seen without a stock in game, unlike its half life 2 brethren it does not mistake the tube for a second barrel and instead when "alt-fired" it fires 2 shots in quick succession, it is used by Overwatch shotgunners, resistance shotgunners, and Black Battalion Stormtroopers.
+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. Also stated in the aforementioned section, the Grenade for Launcher is found much earlier than the launcher itself, in Chapter 1.

+=Unusable Weapons=
+Most NPC-only weapons can be acquired using cheats, and are completely functional for player use.
+=="Alyx Gun"==
+A rebel uses Alyx's pistol from ''Half-Life 2'' in Chapter 2. Roki uses a suppressed pistol during the attack on the Overwatch Nexus but quickly replaces it with an OSIPR. It recycles the model from ''Snowdrop Escape''.

-==M79==
+==ATK SLAM==
-The [[M79]] first appears in the last map of chapter 2 where it's given by the '''Black Battalion''' to shoot down a combine helicopter, it has it's "Leaf sights" down at all times and can't be aimed unlike every other ranged weapon in game, its Grenades are found earlier on in chapter 1 in the room of a [[Team_Fortress_2#Demoman|rather explosive character ]] and in chapter 2 in hidden stashes and is thrown like an Impact Grenade.
+The [[SLAM]] is seen in the game as laser-activated tripmines. They are not available for use by the player.

-==Ghetto Resistance RPG==
+==Fictional rocket launcher==
-A [[Panzerschreck|Panzerschreck RPzB 54/1 ]] inspired rocket launcher is used as a mounted weapon by the '''city 545 resistance''' in Swelter, unlike the German weapon it's based off it is loaded from the front like the British [[PIAT]] anti-tank launchers and lacks back blast, it is aimed by using the handles of a bicycle, it fires the same ammo as the "RPG" from [[Half-Life 2]].
+The seemingly fictional rocket launcher from ''Snowdrop Escape'' appears as an unusable prop.

+[[File:Sweltersderpg-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading.]]
-=Grenades=
+==KPVT==
+The [[KPVT]] can be seen on BTR-70 APCs.
+[[File:Kpvt_01.jpg|thumb|none|450px|KPVT - 14.5x114mm]]
+[[File:Swelterbtr-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking at the BTR's armaments.]]
-==MK3A2 Offensive Hand Grenade==
+==M16A2==
-The [[MK3 offensive hand grenade]] appears in game as just "Grenade", like its older [[Half-Life 2]] brethren it has been reanimated, 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.
+A rebel is seen cleaning an [[M16A2]] at a base. It uses the model from ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' but with the flashlight removed.
-[[File:MK3A2.jpg|thumb|none|200px|MK3A2 offensive hand grenade. Prior MK3 variants (MK3 and MK3A1) had metal top and bottom caps and a waterproofed laminated paper body, while the MK3A2 is made of, of all things, asphalt-impregnated fiberboard.]]

+[[File:Swelterm16-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The rebel holding his M16. The cleaning rod can just be glimpsed at the top of this image.]]
-==Impact Grenade==
+==PKT==
-The "Grenade for launcher" is just a 40mm shell but with a strange "wind-up" modification, unlike real 40mm grenades that have a minimum arming range the shell instantly explodes on impact, like stated in the M79 section the ammo is found early in chapter 1.
+[[PKT]]s are also mounted on BTR-70s. The PKT-based pulse machine gun mounted on Combine APCs also return.
+[[File:Machine_gun_PKT.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PKT - 7.62x54mmR]]
+[[File:Swelterbtr-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking at the BTR's armaments.]]
+==Sawn-off Double Barrel Shotgun==
+The [[Sawn-off Double Barreled Shotgun]] from ''Snowdrop Escape'' is used by some rebels as well as Roki in the game's ending.
+[[File:Stevens_311_(Sawed_Off).jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sawn-off Stevens 311R - 12 gauge]]
+[[File:Swelterdbarrel-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Black Battalion member holding his double-barrel. Due to reusing hand positions he holds it by a nonexistent vertical foregrip.]]
