The Confiscation Field is a Combine device seen several times in the Citadel that confiscates and destroys unregistered weapons using Dark Energy. During the process, any object or being inside the room will not be subject to Earth's gravity.

Appearances[edit]
Half-Life 2[edit]
The first time, Gordon Freeman is stripped from all his weapons except the Gravity Gun, which the devices fail to destroy (along with the HEV Suit), and is instead transformed into a supercharged version of the Gravity Gun charged with Dark Energy capable of grabbing and launching extremely heavy objects, along with being able to disintegrate organic matter, much like energy balls.
Another device is located near the entrance of Dr. Breen's office, and is used to once again confiscate the Gravity Gun from Gordon.
Half-Life 2: Episode One[edit]
At the start of the game, the Gravity Gun is back to normal. When Gordon and Alyx go back into the Citadel, they go through two other Confiscation Fields, first, a broken one, then a second, working, that transforms the Gravity Gun again. It later comes back to normal after the dark energy core's stability is restored.
Trivia[edit]
The model used in the Confiscation Field, named weaponstripper.mdl, is also used in the Energy Orb-powered horizontal generators and pod cleaners, indicating the same device has multiple functions and purposes.
