The Combine Guard Gun is a weapon cut from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the Half-Life 2 leak.
Overview[edit]
It was intended to be a weapon used by Combine Guards and then to be acquired by the player, although the player model and the Combine Guard model differ in shape and colors. One is brown, while the other is green and seems to be less finished and upside down.[1]
It was to fire a powerful disintegration beam, recycled for the Strider as a larger and more powerful weapon. It can kill anything in one shot but was primarily intended to be used against Striders.[2] The beam can also hurt the player if they stand too close to the target, like the RPG.[1]
The firing effect for the player viewmodel version and the Combine Guards' differ. The player version begins with four tracer lasers focusing on the target before firing a hitscan beam, whereas the Combine Guards' charges with an expanding black hole that shrinks back to nothing when the plasma projectile is fired.
When firing and reloading the player version, the circled button on the "butt" turns around 60-70° and the protruding small cylinder on its side goes in.
Trivia[edit]
- In the Half-Life 2 leak, the viewmodel texture incorrectly uses the hand's texture. This also happens with the Immolator.
- In the Half-Life 2 files a sound file called
charging.wavcan be found in the sound folderweapons/cguard. It is the Pulse Rifle's secondary fire sound, originally intended for that of the Combine Guard's weapon. It was also re-used in Portal, when the Portal Gun readies to shoot a portal while on its pedestal.
- In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still contain the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The Combine Guard Gun is among them.
- A similar weapon, the Black Hole Gun, was originally designed for Quiver.
