Freeman Drone

Half-Life 2 x Clone Drone in the Danger Zone. The robot you control is gone. You are Gordon Freeman, in first person, in every single-player mode of Clone Drone.

What you get

• First person, with the HEV suit HUD (HEALTH, SUIT, AMMO) drawn in Half-Life 2's own HUD font.
• Six Half-Life 2 weapons with their own view models, hands, animations and sounds, read from your Half-Life 2 while you play: crowbar, 9mm pistol, SMG (with alt-fire grenades), shotgun, gravity gun and .357 Magnum.
• You spawn with the crowbar and unlock the rest on Clone Drone's own upgrade screen: pistol, then SMG, then shotgun, then gravity gun, with the Magnum as a side branch off the pistol. Ammo Resupply and SMG Grenades are upgrades you can buy again and again. Upgrades for the robot's own weapons are not offered.
• Bullets bore a channel through robots; the crowbar cuts them voxel by voxel; armor stops a bullet and shatters. The gravity gun grabs severed limbs, dropped weapons and arena sawblades and fires them back.
• Half-Life health instead of a robot body: 100 health, each enemy weapon does set damage (arrows 25 with x1.5 headshots, swords 50, spears 25 with x2 headshots, hammers 75), and you die at 0.
• Ammo is scarce. Half-Life 2 supply crates turn up now and then, break into voxels and drop a box of ammo: pistol most often, Magnum least.
• Source-style movement: sprint, duck, crouch-jump, air-strafing, and jumps keep your speed.
• Gordon replaces your robot in every single-player mode (Story, Endless, Challenges, Twitch mode, workshop levels), through the whole story: in chapter 3 the companion robot is hidden and there is no mind transfer; in chapter 4, where you become the robot that killed you, the body decides your gun (sword = crowbar, spear = pistol, hammer = shotgun, bow = Magnum); in chapter 5 his weapons break the mind-space cube robots too.
• Fire and alt-fire only work Gordon's weapons: there is no robot kick or robot special ability.
• This release has no multiplayer: it is a solo mashup and switches itself off in Clone Drone's online modes.

You need

• Clone Drone in the Danger Zone on Steam (the game you play).
• Half-Life 2 on Steam, installed. Nothing from it is copied or shipped: the mod opens its files where they are.

Good to know

• It is a BepInEx 5 plugin (bundled, unmodified). Nothing in Clone Drone's own files is changed, and uninstalling removes it.
• Your weapon unlocks are kept in the mod's own file, not in Clone Drone's save.

MIT licensed, remixing welcome. Half-Life 2 is Valve's and Clone Drone in the Danger Zone is Doborog Games'; neither game's files are included. Built with AI assistance.
