Half-Life 2 Hints

Combine Elite

  • Health: 70
    Attack Damage: 15 from rifle-butt; 3 from pulse rifle shot; 15 from pulse rifle energy orb
    First Seen: Entanglement, Section 3 (first fought in Anticitizen One, Section 7)

    These are souped-up Combine soldiers who wear bright white uniforms. They're a bit more dangerous since they're tougher and can fire more quickly and accurately than the standard Combine soldiers. Also, you'll need to watch out for their bouncy energy orb shots, which can not only hurt you but knock you off of narrow platforms and walkways. Otherwise, you'll deal with them pretty much the same way.
