Please don't kill me for being a n00b. This is the first mod I've ever created.
~~granted, that isn't saying much when I sucked so bad that Mira made a custom weapon guide in response to my questions...~~
**Please thank Mira & Cpone for dragging me through the weapon making process!**
**Please thank Offyerrocker for the fantastic ammo counter and BR scope reticle!**

**Installation Instructions:**
**How To Install SuperBlt & mod_overrides mods:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rin_sjSJIkg
For the weapon: Extract the RAR file into "mod_overrides".
For Beardlib: Extract into "mods".
For Superblt: Download the Latest Release DLL, then extract the "WSOCK32.dll" into "/steamapps/common/Payday 2".
For Burst Fire: I would highly recommend creating a file called "Burst Fire", download the contents of the ZIP into that Burst Fire file, then place the "Burst Fire" file into "mods". But you're free to just plop the files in there, at the risk of the files being lost in a jumble of other mods.
For Perfect View Model: Extract into "mods".
**Probable Future Frequently Asked Questions**
**Q: When will you make (insert Halo weapon name here)?**
**A: No.**
**Q: When will you fix the textures?**
**A: Whenever I stop sucking at GIMP. ~~Or whenever I stop being poor and then can follow Mira's guide step by step.~~**
**Q: BXR? Doubleshot? Quadshot? (Insert other Halo 2 button combos here)?**
**A: I did want to add BXR, but lack of coding experience means that it'll probably not happen. As for Doubleshot/Quad shot, the weapon already fires pretty fast under the burst fire mod.**
Latest Update:
1.04 - Updated textures on weapon (no more oil), updated icon on weapon (now is white, like most other weapons), updated Heavy Barrel icon (no longer uses template icon), tweaked some minor stats (increased base concealment, slightly increased ammo pickup rate, lowered base damage by a little bit, but increased Heavy Barrel damage).
The stat changes are to account for the players using custom ammo, which will usually provide greater bonuses (ex: wall/enemy/armor piercing, better damage/accuracy, etc) relative to the small loss in damage.
Previous Updates:
||
1.03 - Added custom attachments support, such as ammo types (7.62x51mm NATO) or custom scopes. REQUIRED CUSTOM ATTACHMENTS FOR CUSTOM WEAPONS.
1.02 - Fixed the mistake of tying the weapon to the battle rifle category, with Killerwolf yelling at me in the background.
Updated internal text to use less capital characters, with Killerwolf yelling at me in the background.
1.01 - Fixed the idiotic mistake of defining asset updates twice. Added Halo 2 Anniversary Multiplayer sounds.
1.0 - Released!
0.91 - Updated Thumbnails, got the original Halo 2 sounds to work, kinda (?) unscrewed the laser.
0.90 - Posted the thing on MWS so I can stop having to upload to Dropbox.||
Known Issues/Limitations:
* The view model does not move when moving your view around. Is mostly fixed by using Perfect View Model, but no guarantees for every mod setup.
* Charging Handle doesn't move during empty reload, but that's a fault of the model. And it never was cocked in Halo 2 (but it did in Halo 3), so semi accurate?
* Scope will not display if you have the HUD turned off.
* 3rd person Barrel in Inventory/Black Market displays bugged textures. But when in game, the model is fine, so it only matters for the possible Youtuber Clickbait thumbnails.
* Ammo counter displays in scope with WeaponLib (or when using throwable). Deal with it.
* When reloading, the magazine has no bullets in it. Deal with it.

Offyerrocker made the reticle textures from scratch.
