Half-Life Hints
Experimental Gluon Gun (Egon Gun)
The gluon gun, like its companion the gauss gun, is very powerful. It fires a concentrated electrical beam at a target. It runs on battery power that can be collected from small yellow-and-gray containers. Battery power is out of 100% and there is no need to reload.
The gluon gun is powerful enough to disable entire groupings of enemies. Anything that runs through or is hit by the beam loses a lot of life. Therefore, if you have quite a swarm around you, grab your gluon gun and start circling. You receive this weapon late in the game, but there are still several times when it's the best weapon for the job.
