Scientist Slaughterhouse/Items
Being that his game was devoted to killing the scientists from Half-Life There are a lot of ways to do so, and a lot of weapons you pick up along the way (or if you started off with them using Impulse 101). Some weapons even feature special tertiary fire functions using the mousewheel button.
Weapons:
Weapons group one
Crowbar: Nothing much changed from the Half-life variant, just feels fun to smack scientists with this though. Also commonly used to smash frozen sci's
BFS: A sword, with the same swing speed but slower speed when hitting objects. It does higher damage and, when aimed correctly, cut a scientist's head or torso off.
Weapons group two
Pistol: Like the one out of Half-Life, nothing new.
357 Magnum Revolver: Similar to the pistol example but features the ability to zoom like Half-Life multiplayer. Shooting a sci in the head will blow it off.
Laser Pistol: Indicated by the silencer in front and the variable glow around it, the primary fire isn't very exciting, but the secondary fires a force web that do variable, (mostly) One-Hit Kill attacks on a target. The red force web emitter flings the target around, slowly chipping away at the health of the target until it runs out (or collides with another), gibbing it (as well as the mentioned target if it collides with it). The green force web lifts the target into the air, flailing it around before gibing it. While the blue force web drills it into the ground.
- Color Coded for Your Convenience
- Frikin' Laser Beams
- Ludicrous Gibs: Any of the force web attacks will cause this.
- One-Hit Kill
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
Repulsor: One of the first weapons you start out with, the ammo regenerates, primary fires a repulsor beam that reflects off walls and can knock scientists around, occasionally into hazards. While the secondary fires a lethal version of it. Tertiary fire activates a tractor beam, which can be extended or retracted with primary and secondary. (Uses the gauss cannon viewmodel with a green glow)
- Frickin' Laser Beams: Like above.
- One-Hit Kill
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Swiss Army Gun
- Tractor Beam
Soft Metal Accelerator: A small pistol that fires a soft metal, uranium slug at high velocities. A hit will give the target radiation poisoning. (Uses the Opposing Force Deagle viewmodel)
- Sickly Green Glow
- Standard Status Effects: It's the same as poison, suffice to say.
Weapons group three
Submachine gun: The primary fire is the same as it was in Half-life while tertiary fire changes the grenades used by secondary fire, ranging from standard HE, incendiary, plasma bomb and laser.
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Standard FPS Guns
- Standard Status Effects: incendiary and plasma bomb both set scientists on fire, if they survive the initial explosion of course...
- Ludicrous Gibs: The fun with grenades
Shotgun: The primary and secondary remain the same but the tertiary fire changes the ammo from conventional (fire one shell/fire two shells), to explosive (Fire one explosion/fire many explosion), to laser shots (fire some lasers/fire many).
- Abnormal Ammo
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Short-Range Shotgun: Averted for the single fire shot with explosive ammo, which fires a single, very accurate explosive slug.
- Standard FPS Guns
- Ludicrous Gibs: Not only for the explosive ammo, but double firing laser shots can gib if enough hit at close range.
Crossbow: Remains the same but features change-able ammo similar to the SMG and Shotgun, including; standard, explosive, flare, electric, and laser web (connects lasers between eachother, best for small corridors and halls).
- Abnormal Ammo
- Laser Sight
- Ludicrous Gibs: Explosive darts.
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Stuff Blowing Up
- Swiss Army Gun
Sniper Rifle: Modeled after the Opposing Force version but functions similar to the one from Team Fortress Classic, utilizing a laser sight as the shot gains power the longer the fire button is held down. Tertiary fire uses some of the players rockets to construct either a anti rocket box, an anti grenade box, or a mini rocket launching box.
- Crossover: Looks like the one out of OF, works like TFC
- Ludicrous Gibs: Like in TFC, a high enough charge will gib a target.
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Standard FPS Guns
- Swiss Army Gun: Building rocket boxes would count this as one.
Weapons group four
RPG: Features the ability to change warheads (ranging from HE, incendiary, plasma bomb, EMP) while secondary changes the rocket from being unguided, laser guided, heatseeking or remote controlled.
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Standard FPS Guns
- Stuff Blowing Up: And burning and electrocuted.
- Ludicrous Gibs
Flamethrower: Fires a constant stream of flame, secondary fires a stream of acid to melt the flesh away from your target. (Uses an orange glowing gluon gun viewmodel)
Fireball Launcher: Fires an exploding fireball with the middle mouse changing between direct and ballistic (follows an arched trajectory). (Uses a red glowing gluon gun viewmodel)
- Kill It with Fire
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Standard Status Effects: Flame again.
- Stuff Blowing Up
Freeze Ray: Fires incredibly shiny projectiles which starts to freeze a target, chipping at their health before it wears off or drops to zero, at which point, you can use any other weapon to shatter their frozen body. (Uses a light blue glowing gluon gun model)
- Kill It with Ice
- Standard Status Effects: Freezing, the lethal variant when fully frozen.
- Literally Shattered Lives
- Ludicrous Gibs: More like ludicrous frozen shards, similar to the effect you get on a frozen enemy in Diablo II.
Weapons group five
Grenade: Primary throws one, secondary lobs an incendiary version while tertiary changes so cluster (TFC M.I.R.V/scatterbomb which release very small, contact sensitive bombs, and a lot of them to make up for their small damage) to shockwave. (TFC Conc. 'nade/EMP 'nade).
- Abnormal Ammo: No matter which mode, it always uses the same ammo.
- Ludicrous Gibs: M.I.R.V's are so much fun for causing this.
- Recursive Ammo: M.I.R.V's and Scatter bombs, Scientists occasionally wind up dead from the initial explosion.
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Standard FPS Guns
- Swiss Army Grenade
Tripmine: A mine which uses a beam to set itself off when broken, alt fire places a wall sentry that fires lasers.
- Frickin' Laser Beams: Both for blowing stuff up and shooting stuff.
- Secondary Fire
- Swiss Army Mine
Satchel Charge: Primary places a satchel, then blows it up, right click places multiple charges. Tertiary fire activates "Satellite Rain" mode, raining explosive death were it's placed.
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Stuff Blowing Up
Snarks: Like the Half-Life variant, nothing new.
Weapons group six
Gluon Gun/Egon: Similar to the Half-Life example, secondary fire changes the beam to either Anti-matter pulverizer or Ion Cannon, which locks onto a target.
- Lightning Gun
- Ludicrous Gibs: Both for Gluon and Anti Matter pulverizer.
- Secondary Fire: And tertiary
- Stuff Blowing Up
- Swiss Army Gun
Gauss Cannon/Tau Cannon: Similar to the one in Half-Life, explosive overcharge and all, along with the ability to gauss jump like in Half-Life Deathmatch
Tesla Cannon: Primary fire projects a constant stream of electricity while secondary fire's chain lightning, tertiary changes from attract to project. A neat feature is the ability to power up tesla coils, a la Red Alert 2 & 3 to fire explosive yellow lightning. (Uses a blue glowing gauss viewmodel)
Laser Cannon: Fires five beams that refract off of walls, making it rather uncomfortable in a close space while secondary fires a laser that can penetrate through walls. (Uses a light blue glowing gauss viewmodel)
Displacer: Returning from Opposing Force, the displacer teleports whatevers hit by it to an unknown location (along with the destructive shockwave that follows), while the self-teleporting secondary fire is replaced by the ability to shoot a light disk that slices scientists in half while seeking them out.
- BFG: Like the gun it was modeled after in OF.
- Teleport Gun
- Ludicrous Gibs
- Secondary Fire
Weapons group seven
NA Implosion Rocket Launcher: Fires a heatseeking rocket that produces a devastating, high energy detonation. while secondary fires a rocket that creates a vortex upon contact, sucking anything (except the player when holding the launcher) into it and annihilating it.
- Ludicrous Gibs: Anything sucked into the vortex is reduced to such.
- Organic Technology: Atleast, the reskin makes it look like such.
- Secondary Fire
Hornet Launcher: The secondary fire is replaced by the ability to change the color, ranging from, red (seeking), orange (fire), yellow (plants itself in a sci's head and blows it off), green (no seeking), blue (richochet), light blue (ice).

- Standard Status Effects: Ice and flame
- Swiss Army Gun
