The Ice Axe is a weapon cut from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the playable Half-Life 2 leak.

Overview[edit]

  • The Ice Axe was probably to be first found in the Borealis chapter.[2]
  • It works similarly to Gordon's trademark crowbar but has two fire modes: a fast swing and a slow swing. Both modes deal the same amount of damage.

Fate[edit]

Too similar to the crowbar, the Ice Axe was caught in the cut of the Borealis chapter and the other Arctic levels.

Trivia[edit]

  • In the Half-Life 2 files, several texture files for HUD weapon icons can be found, most of which still containing the icons for almost all of the cut weapons. The Ice Axe is among them.
  • As seen in the Half-Life 2 sound files, the crowbar swing sound is named "iceaxe_swing1.wav".
  • An ice axe is seen in Half-Life 2: Episode Three concept art. It is unknown whether it was conceptualized independently or as an attempt to bring back the cut weapon.
