ShackMutations

NOTE: Until Valve comes up with a nice, atomic way for fans to distribute mutations, you'll have to disable this mutation if you want to play the new bi-weekly mutation.

This was a simple mutation created to prove the workflow for Left 4 Dead 2 mutations. Originally consisting of only "Grenade-Fest," I've renamed the mutation pack to "ShackMutations" due to most of the changes and requests coming from the community over at ShackNews. The name change will take effect starting with v12.

I took the existing code for "Gib Fest," replaced the M60 with a grenade launcher, and had at it.

It seems to work quite nicely, although it is a bit overpowered and nearly impossible to play on Normal or above.

Per the request of Shacker NastyNorman, I also combined "Gib Fest" with "TAAAAAAANK!" to create "Tank-60." Per the request of Shacker ant_hillbilly, "Tank-60 Realism" was added in as well.
