The Cremator gun is a weapon cut from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the playable Half-Life 2 leak.
Overview[edit]
Described as a large spray hose which would disintegrate organic matter upon contact,[1] the weapon was intended to be used by the Cremator. A tube extends from the back of the gun and connects to a large ball situated in the center of the Cremator's abdomen. As little code pertaining to both the Cremator and its gun remains in the leak, much about their exact behavior and functionality is unknown. The Train to City 17 vignette depicts Cremators hosing a train yard with fire to incinerate Headcrabs,[2] suggesting a flamethrower-style weapon. However, sounds present in the leak that are associated with the Cremator indicate the gun at this stage in development would fire plasma.[3]
A viewmodel exists for the Cremator gun,[4] indicating it may have been able to be picked up and used by the player. This weapon model is animated but uses a broken texture. An earlier twin-pronged design for the gun, also seen in the Cremator's concept art, is part of a Cremator model included in the 2016-2017 repository leaks. This earlier weapon model is very incomplete and lacks a texture.
