The
Crowbar is the signature weapon of
Gordon Freeman. It is the first weapon acquired in
Half-Life, serving as a melee weapon and a tool for puzzles. The crowbar is also used as a tool for breaking open
supply crates and clearing destructible obstacles. The main melee weapon in the
Half-Life story arc and the only melee weapon in the
Half-Life 2 story arc, it is widely considered the iconic weapon of the
Half-Life series, perhaps almost as famous as Gordon Freeman himself when referring to
Half-Life.
