 The mod's arsenal could be seen as a *"best of"* collection of custom weapons I've made for **Unreal Tournament**, plus many new things that didn't make the cut there. It is also effectively a reboot of the entire **Some Weird Weapons Mod *(SWWM)*** series, which unfortunately ended with the cancelled **SWWM Z**, this mod's direct predecessor *(hence this project originally starting its days under the name of **SWWM GZ**)*.

 ## Software and Hardware Requirements
 
-**Codename: Demolitionist** requires **GZDoom 4.12** or later. As of writing this, **Delta Touch** has not yet been updated and still offers 4.11.3 instead. Sorry, mobile players.
+**Codename: Demolitionist** requires a recent **VKDoom** build. As long as it supports the full **GZDoom 4.12** feature set *(or later)* it should be fine.
 
 Recommended desktop hardware specs are as follows:
 
  - **CPU:** 3GHz or faster x86_64 processor (core count irrelevant, single-threaded performance is what matters).
    - **Intel:** Core i5-6400 or later.
    - **AMD:** Ryzen 5 1500X or later.

    - **AMD:** RX 480 or later.
    - **Intel:** Iris Pro Graphics 580 or later.
  - **RAM:** 4GB minimum (8GB if using integrated graphics).
- - **Display:** A 16:10 monitor is recommended for the intended visual experience.
+ - **Display:** A 720p or larger display should do the job. Please note that on Ultrawide displays the HUD will be constrained to a 16:9 area.

+Recommended settings are as follows:
 
- - **Chipset:** Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 or better.
- - **Resolution:** On high DPI devices, playing at a 0.5x scale is advised to smoothen the framerate.
- - **Input:** External keyboard and mouse are recommended, gamepad may not be enough, touch controls won't be manageable.

-Recommended GZDoom settings are as follows:
-
- - **Renderer:** Hardware only, Vulkan backend recommended if possible, avoid OpenGL ES on desktop *(it will disable custom material and postprocess shaders)*.
+ - **Renderer:** Hardware only, this uses 3D models, shaders, all that good stuff.
  - **Textures:** Either `None` or `None (Trilinear)`. The graphics in this mod were designed with no filtering in mind.
- - **Post-processing:** Bloom is recommended, it is not advised to use GZDoom's tonemap filters. For other post-processing, use [MariFX](https://git.marisa.pw/OrdinaryMagician/marifx_m).
