Half-Life Hints
Snarks
Snarks are little aliens that you get to deploy somewhat like grenades. They run around searching for anything living. Once prey is found, they swarm on it until they either kill it or expire. You can carry up to 15 snarks.
Snarks are great for disturbing squads of soldiers. Let some run loose in a military outpost or command center while you're hiding nearby and they will do most of the work. Watch out for snarks yourself, though. Once they are released, they will attack anything, including you. Snarks will expire and explode after 10 seconds or so.
