Alt-fire activates its laser sight, which greatly increases its accuracy but reduces its firing rate.įully automatic with average stopping power. Has an attached grenade launcher using the same impact grenades as in Half-Life 1. Despite it using the same 9mm caliber cartridges as the Glock 17, the MP5 is noticeably less accurate, although this is normally not a problem unless trying to minimise ammo consumption at a range of medium-far. Fortunately 9mm cartridges are one of the most common ammunition pickups in most installments of the series. Powerful when up close, but has a slow rate of fire, long reload time, and is next to useless at medium-long range.Īn extremely powerful weapon, but must be reloaded for each shot. Alternate fire activates/deactivates a laser sight. With the laser sight on- any rockets in the area (including enemy-origin ones) will track the laser to where the crosshair is pointing. If the laser sight is off, the player fires and reloads leaving the rocket to its direction. This 'Dumb-Firing' tactic is useful on tanks and similar enemies (excluding Apaches) because you can pop into the open for an second, shoot, and get back behind cover again.Ī handheld explosive. Can bounce off of walls and detonates after five seconds.Ī high-explosive Claymore mine-like device that can be attached to walls. It is set off either by damaging the mine itself, by crossing through the laser "tripwire" emitted from it, or interfering with the length of the laser (eg. breaking the box at the end of the laser).Ī highly potent explosive that can be thrown a short distance and detonated remotely. Secondary fire allows the user to place additional charges. M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (M249 SAW or SAW) Ī light machine gun that is very effective at cutting down groups of enemies, but empties quickly and has a long reload time. Its powerful recoil makes it difficult to aim crouching while firing can help alleviate this. Ammo for this weapon is extremely rare until the end of the chapter Vicarious Reality. If sufficient ammunition is available, the M249 can be used to impede falls by shooting downwards while falling. The backwards recoil will constantly push towards the player's back, regardless of direction, resulting in lower downwards momentum.Ī powerful and accurate sniper rifle that is very effective at long distances. Its bullets hit their targets instantly, unlike the bolts of the Tranquiliser Crossbow in Half-Life. HALF LIFE OPPOSING FORCE WEAPON SKINS SERIESĪlt-fire activates the fixed-power scope.
