Half-Life 2 Hints
Zombie
Health: 50
Attack Damage: 10 from single slash and 25 from double slash
First Seen: Route Kanal, Section 5
These are the standard headcrab-controlled dead humans that you'll remember from Half-Life. They behave pretty much the same way, the only noticeable differences being that now they can knock heavy items at you, and it's even easier now to beat them to death with the crowbar. Just keep retreating slowly as they advance, swinging your crowbar at their heads until they go down.
WARNING: If you kill a zombie with a hit in a spot other than its head, the headcrab that was controlling it will separate from it and attack you.
NOTE: The fact that zombies are very slow and un-agile means that it's easy to beat them up with pieces of junk (like barrels) once you get the gravity gun to do it with.
