***********************************************************
6.0 – Weapons
***********************************************************
Here are all the weapons from Half-Life with their basic info. The number in
“()” is how many times you press that button in order for it to appear on the
equip menu. For example the handgun is weapon number 2(1) and the magnum is
weapon number 2(2). The weapon you equip will be highlighted in red.
===========================================================
Crowbar 1(1)
===========================================================
First Found: Anomalous Materials
Clip: NA
Reserve Ammo: NA
Primary Fire: Slash
Secondary Fire: NA
A standard melee weapon that can deal pretty decent damage and is best used as
a tool more then a weapon. It can slash pretty quickly inflicting some damage
at a fast pace.
===========================================================
9mm Handgun 2(1)
===========================================================
First Found: Unforeseen Consequences
Clip: 17
Reserve Ammo: 250
Primary Fire: Standard Fire
Secondary Fire: Rapid Fire
A standard handgun that can be found on any security guard. If you come across
a dead guard walk over him to take a full clip of ammo. Also you can kill them
yourself for the ammo but be quick so that he doesn’t shoot you. This weapon
shares ammo with the Mp5 Sub Machine Gun.
===========================================================
.357 Magnum 2(2)
===========================================================
First Found: Blast Pit
Clip: 6
Reserve Ammo: 36
Primary Fire: Standard Fire
Secondary Fire: NA
A more powerful weapon then the pistol. It can kill almost anything in 1 or
two shots but has a small clip and a slow reload time. The ammo is also more
scarce then other weapons.
===========================================================
Mp5 Sub Machine Gun 3(1)
===========================================================
First Found: “We’ve Got Hostiles”
Clip: 50
Reserve Ammo: 250 and 10
Primary Fire: Rapid Fire
Secondary Fire: Grenade Launcher
A somewhat weak weapon that deals damage quickly but eats up ammo. The
secondary fire is useful for crowded areas because of the splash damage. It
has the same ammo as the handgun.
===========================================================
Shotgun 3(2)
===========================================================
First Found: Office Complex
Clip: 8
Reserve Ammo: 125
Primary Fire: Single Shot
Secondary Fire: Double Shot
A pretty good all around weapon. The primary fire shoots one at a time and
pretty quickly while the double fire is vice versa. Also you can fire this
weapon while reloading which means you can hold down the fire button when
you’re under pressure.
===========================================================
Crossbow 3(3)
===========================================================
First Found: Apprehension
Clip: 5
Reserve Ammo: 50
Primary Fire: Fire Arrow
Secondary Fire: Snipe
A great weapon to use. It’s powerful and fires tranquilizer darts. However it
takes a while to load one dart in and even longer to load a new clip. Also the
ammo is scarce.
===========================================================
Rocket Propelled Grenade 4(1)
===========================================================
First Found: Surface Tension
Clip: 1
Reserve Ammo: 5
Primary Fire: Dumb Shot
Secondary fire: Guided Shot
The most powerful weapon in the game and the most fun. The primary fire makes
the grenade jet in a straight line till it hits something and the secondary
lets you guide the path with a laser. Just move the laser along to have the
grenade follow the path. The ammo is very rare so make sure to save it for the
heavy machinery.
===========================================================
Experimental Gauss Gun 4(2)
===========================================================
First Found: Questionable Ethics
Clip: NA
Reserve Ammo: 100
Primary Fire: Shoots 2%
Secondary Fire: Can be charged up to 13%
The Gauss Gun is another powerful weapon. Instead of clips it has a
percentage. It fast and powerful even if you’re only firing 2% at a time. It
shares ammo with the Egon Gun.
===========================================================
Experimental Egon Gun 4(3)
===========================================================
First Found: Lambda Core
Clip: NA
Reserve Ammo: 100
Primary Fire: Shoots Beam
Secondary Fire: Hold Beam (Must be executed during primary fire).
Just like the Gauss Gun, the Egon Gun is fun and powerful. Also it shares the
same ammo. Unlike other weapons the secondary fire button must be pressed and
held after the primary fire button is being held. This lets Gordon keep the
beam going without using up any ammo.
===========================================================
Hivehand 4(4)
===========================================================
First Found: Surface Tension
Clip: NA
Reserve Ammo: 8
Primary Fire: Single Fire
Secondary Fire: Rapid Fire
The Hivehand is the standard weapon used by alien grunts. It shoots hornets at
the enemy and has slight homing capabilities. Also it has unlimited ammo
because after you stop firing it’ll charge right back up. The primary fire
shoots one hornet and short of homes in while the rapid fire shoots them
rapidly in a straight line.
===========================================================
Hand Grenade 5(1)
===========================================================
First Found: Unforeseen Consequences
Clip: NA
Reserve Ammo: 10
Primary Fire: Throw
Secondary Fire: NA
An explosive weapon that’s better used as a tool. They have a 5 second delay
when thrown and are easily avoided by some enemies. Also some HECU members
throw or place grenades.
===========================================================
C4 Explosive 5(2)
===========================================================
First Found: On a Rail
Clip: NA
Reserve Ammo: 5
Primary Fire: Throw a bomb / detonate
Secondary Fire: Throw more bombs after the first one is thrown.
Another weapons used as a great tool. When you throw a C4 Gordon will pull out
a remote which you then use to detonate. Also while you hold the control you
can use the secondary fire to lay down any additional C4 so that you can blow
up a few at a time. C4 will only blow up only when the button is push. Bullets
will not detonate them.
===========================================================
Tripmine 5(3)
===========================================================
First Found: Blast Pit
Clip: NA
Reserve Ammo: 5
Primary Fire: Set down
Secondary Fire: NA
This weapon, like the other two explosives, is a great tool. This one can be
used as a trap. Just lay a couple around in areas you know enemies will pass
and just keep going. Make sure you put them in tight areas because although
the laser can go pretty far then explosion is always near the mine. Also
you’ll see these set up more often by the HECU to take care of Gordon.
===========================================================
Snarks 5(4)
===========================================================
First Found: Questionable Ethics
Clip: NA
Reserve Ammo: 15
Primary Fire: Throw Snark
Secondary Fire: NA
The only enemy in the game that can be used as a weapon. Whenever you throw
one it’ll attack the nearest living thing, including you, so make sure you
only deploy them in crowded areas and make them land near something or someone
else. They have a 20 second life span after they are thrown. During the 20
seconds they will run around and jump all over their target then explode when
their life is over. The explosion can also harm their target.

firing at you. Also never hinted at is that soda from the vending machines can
heal 1HP per can.
***********************************************************
7.02 – Black Mesa Inbound
***********************************************************
After you pick a difficulty you’ll appear in a tram. It’ll take a few minutes
but you can scope out the environment. Near the end of the tram ride you’ll
be stopped by a robot getting ready to go into the chemicals. Look to your
left to see the G-Man for the first time. In the final area, just wait for the
security guard to let you out of the door and into the main lobby.
***********************************************************
7.03 – Anomalous Materials
***********************************************************
You should start off in the main lobby. Go over to the desk and the guard will
tell you that you’re wanted in the test chamber. Go down the hall and at the
junction keep going straight. Look through the first window you come across to
see the G-Man arguing with a scientist.
Now head back over to the junction and go down the other hallway. Take a right
and keep going till you get to the locker room. Go over to the left and use
the console to open up your hazard suit. Grab it and then go over to the
locker that says “Freeman” to get an armor battery.
Now head back to the hallway and keep going until another guard opens the
door for you.
Loop around in the next hallway and go down the elevator. Now keep following
the straightforward path till you get to a room with four scientists. Three of
them will talk to you and then eventually let you through the next door.
Now keep going. In front of the elevator to the lower level you’ll see an
explosion. Ignore that and go down the elevator. Keep going and eventually
you’ll get to the entrance to the test chamber. Let the two scientists talk to
you and wait for them to unlock the door. Go into the test chamber and wait
for further instruction.
Eventually a scientist will start talking. When he asks you, climb up the
ladder and flip the switch to get the rotor started. Now just wait until the
sample appears. When it does push it into the center and everything will start
going haywire. Just back off and watch as your teleported between Earth and
Xen. This’ll end the chapter.
***********************************************************
7.04 – Unforeseen Consequences
***********************************************************
You’ll reappear in the test chamber. Go into the entrance and use the retinal
scanner by the door. The door will slowly open and you should see a guard
getting CPR. Wait about 20 seconds for him to be revived then go up the
elevator. Go forward and the scientist will tell you to head to the surface.
Have him follow you to the door so that he can open it for you. Go through and
wait till the electrical energy blows up the other door then head through.
Keep running and a headcrab will appear. Ignore it and go through the door. In
the hallway dodge the 2 lasers. After the second laser, watch it split a guard
in half. Anyways after your done being amused grab the crowbar by the door
then head back to where the guard was getting CPR.
Kill the guard and take his handgun.
Now head back to where you got the crowbar. Break the glass on the bottom of
the door and crawl through. Go down the hall and watch as the elevator crashes
down with some people on it. Again break the glass and then climb the ladder
in the shaft. At the top help the guard kill the two zombies then kill him for
more ammo. From here head back to the locker room. On the way you’ll have to
kill two zombies. Anyways once you get their go inside the locker that says
“Guthrie” for two clips of ammo then inside Freeman’s locker for a battery
cell.
Now head back over to the main lobby. You’ll see an explosion come from the
vent. Crawl through but stick to the right so that you don’t get smashed.
Kill the headcrab and use the med-kit to heal yourself. Now use the control
panels to make your way through another vent across the room. In the hall
watch as a scientist kills a headcrab. He’ll start celebrating his victory by
dancing. Good for him.....oh never mind. Didn’t think there was a second
headcrab. Apparently he didn’t either. Well anyways continue down the hall
and you’ll hear gunshots. Run forward to see a zombie die in the corner. In
the other corner grab the handgun on the floor as the guard reaches to you
for help. He’ll die so crawl through the broken door ahead.
Hit the switch on the wall then go through the door. Save the scientist by
killing the Houndeyes. Keep going down the hall and then look up at the
catwalk. You’ll have your third G-Man sighting. He’ll just look at you then
walk off. Go into the hall area and kill the two Houndeyes running around.
Next go through the steel door on the right. Follow the hallway till you
reach a ladder. Climb it and then shoot the flammables to blow up the zombie
and headcrabs. Take a right until you find a scientist. Recruit him and then
run along the catwalk in the opposite direction. Kill the zombie eating the
dead body and have the scientist unlock the door. Go inside for some ammo and
health. Now head back to where the Houndeyes where. If you need more health
then jump through the window into a tiny room. Anyways when ready run down
the hallway. You should hear a monster teleport. Look at the steel door in
front of you and you should hear something breaking it from inside. Kill the
vortiguaunt that appears and go inside for some ammo. Run over to the
dumpster in the corner to see a hiding scientist. A headcrab will now jump at
you. Kill it then restore your health behind the dumpster. Now head to the
center of the hallway where a gate is blocking your path. Kill the zombie
that crawls out of the tunnel and then drop into the hole in front of you.
Kill the headcrab then travel the tunnel till you find a wheel. Turn it to
raise the water level then swim to the hole that the zombie came out of.
Continue down the new hallway.
In the open area take the ammo from the dead guard then pull the lever. The
lift will start lowering and two headcrabs will appear. Jump on the lift and
look in the direction of the headcrabs. As the lift is lowering keep strafing
to dodge the unlimited supply of headcrabs that come jumping down. At the
bottom are two wall med-kits. Jump off to reach the upper one and only use
the lower one in the corner if you need it. Next go to the boxes and a
Houndeye will appear. Kill it then break the boxes for ammo. Go down the
hallway and a Bullsquid will appear breaking the walkway. Jump onto the pipes
to the right and use them to reach the vent shaft. Travel the shaft until you
get to the end. Break the vent to drop into the hallway. Break the boxes to
get some health and battery cells then stand at the edge of the hall and
watch as a Bullsquid kills some headcrabs. Now backtrack till you reach a
door. Go through it and use the ladder to get down. Go through the hallway
till you get to where the Bullsquid is. Kill it then head to the right for
some health. Next jump into the water and swim towards the open holes. Take a
right and use the ladder to get out. Heal yourself then go through the doors.
Now that your on the side that Bullsquid was on, break all the boxes then
head through the door. Keep traveling down the hallway to the end.
In the open area climb both ladders you see then use the hanging boxes to get
across the room. Keep following the hallway till you get to a ladder. Climb
it and then keep going.
Eventually you’ll be in the hallway right above where the Bullsquid was. Keep
going and use the elevator you come across to beat the chapter.
***********************************************************
7.05 – Office Complex
***********************************************************
Leave the elevator and look to your left. Some headcrabs will spot you and
start coming. Just stand there and wait for all of them to be shocked to death
and then climb into the vent shaft on the wall. Take a right to get to the
next room. In here ignore the barnacles and scientist and go into the metal
door. Turn off the power then go through the other door in the room. Run to the
end of the hallway and break the window so you can crawl through it. Take and
left and follow the hallway littered with boxes. Break all of them to clear
your path.
Kill the headcrab behind the big box and keep going. Grab the shotgun and ammo
then run over to the gate. Kill the zombie that comes around the corner so that
the guard can let you through. Kill him for ammo then go through the door for
more ammo and health. Kill the headcrab then head back to where the zombie was.
Drop to the lower area and break the boxes for a battery cell and health then
climb the ladder. From here head back to where you broke the window.
Crawl through the window leading to the flooded office. Kill the headcrab and
use the tables and counters to work your way around. Charge your health and
then hit the light switch. Turn your flashlight on and break the vent shaft.
Kill all three headcrabs then crouch under the fan. Keep going till the end.
Break the vent and go through. You should drop through the ceiling. Turn around
and two headcrabs will break more ceiling. Use the two metal boxes to make some
stairs so you can reach a ladder. Break the big vent to drop down and the small
one to enter the shaft. Follow it to the end but wait. A scientist will come
running out only to get shot by a ceiling turret with a headcrab to follow. Now
quickly jump out and run towards it. Crouch underneath the landing and turn off
the turret. Now break all the boxes and push a big metal one next to the
landing. Go through the small doorway to break some boxes and grab some ammo.
Go to the end of the hall and open up the door. Now push the small metal box
over to the turret landing. Use the staircase you made to get to the top and
heal yourself. Now drop down and enter the big doorway. Kill all 5 headcrabs
and keep going.
Head up the stairs and you’ll hear some gunshots. Keep going to find a guard
and some dead headcrabs. Recruit the guard and go into the next area. Here you
and the guard will have to fend off a lot of vortiguants and a few headcrabs.
When everything’s dead find a door being guarded by a barnacle. Go inside and
hit the light switch. Take the health and then leave the whole area near some
vending machines. If any vortiguants are still living make sure you silence
them. Go through a door and heal yourself next to the scientist while he tells
you about the military. Continue up the stairs and a ceiling turret will start.
Keep going and kill the headcrabs and then the turret. At the top enter a
hallway. Wait for the zombie to start walking and when he’s next to the
explosive box blow it up. Continue down the hall and kill the two vortiguants
around the corner.
Go through the door to find a guard and a wall kit. Recruit the guard and heal
yourself. Head down a ramp into an open area. Kill the Bullsquid that appears
and restock on ammo. As you try to leave two vortiguants will appear so kill
them. Now head back over to the door you came through then climb through the
vent shaft. At the end climb the ladder and wait for the broken part of the fan
before you cross. Break the floor vent to drop down then jump over the broken
floor. Break the next vent and kill the two headcrabs guarding another vent.
Break that and then crawl along the wall towards another vent. Break that one
to get above the room with the Bullsquid and vortiguants. Follow the rafters
to another vent but watch out for the headcrabs that jump out of the wall. Kill
any that don’t miss the rafters then go through the vent. Kill the lone
headcrab here and travel towards the end. You’ll break through the ceiling into
a dark room. Restock on ammo and heal yourself then leave through the door and
go recruit the guard again if he’s still alive. Anyways take a right from the
door and kill the zombie and headcrabs in the open area. Break the rubble
blocking the next hallway and then run to the right.
At the end of the hallway kill both zombies and then heal yourself by the
wall. Enter the freezer and run around killing any headcrabs and the two
Bullsquids in the area. Next to the Bullsquid that breaks the boxes hit the
switch to make a lift go back and forth. Now head back to the entrance and
climb the ladder. Enter the shaft and follow the straight path till you get to
the lift. Along the way you might find a headcrab. Anyways break all the boxes
for some battery cells then enter the shaft. Travel through it and kill the
headcrab that jumps up at you. Keep going to find a room full of barnacles.
Take any supplies next to their tongues and then start climbing on the shafts.
Enter the final shaft towards the end killing any headcrabs along the way.
Break the next vent and drop down. Help the surviving guard by killing the
zombie then recruit him. Go up the stairs and kill the headcrab. Next the dark
room and run up towards the door. You’ll find out its locked so may as well
turn around and...G-MAN! This is the fourth sighting. Watch him as he looks at
you, straightens his tie, and walks off. Anyways when he’s gone head to the
light area. A scientist will jump through a window and then two zombies will
appear. Kill them both and then grab supplies from the broken window and broken
wall. Anyways kill the guard for ammo and take a running jump towards the
ladder in the shaft. Keep climbing up while watching a scientist as he
struggles and falls. Hehe, funny. Anyways jump onto the ladder he was on to get
on top of the elevator. Break the shaft and drop down. Use the elevator to end
the chapter.
