Medium lifting tool, physics weapon |
The Gravity Gun is a tool and a weapon used by players. It allows players to pick up and throw objects, even those too large for them to lift themselves. However, it is less used as a tool due to the Physics Gun being a better choice as the aforementioned weapon can rotate, move and freeze any objects even if they are ridiculously heavy.
Origin
Gravity Gun originates from the game Half-Life 2, in which the weapon is given to you in the chapter "Black Mesa East" by Alyx Vance.
Offensive (Weapon)
The Gravity Gun's second usage is as a weapon. As aforementioned, it can punt objects at small-medium distances, making it more of a weapon than a tool.
The Gravity Gun's thrown objects deals various amounts of damage, depending on the size and weight of the object, as well as the distance it flew before the initial hit.
The punt can be used as a direct attack on enemy NPCs - however, they deal just 1 hit-point of damage.
Trivia
- NPCs were never programmed to use this weapon - as such, they will become harmless if they have it.
- In the early builds of Garry's Mod before multiplayer was introduced, there was a functional super-charged upgrade which could be applied to the weapon. However, it is no longer functioning due to the usage of multiplayer code, which removed the function altogether.
