[VJ] Combine Metro Heavy (NPC)
If you enjoy the addon, don’t forget to leave a thumbs up!
May I introduce you all to the Combine Metro Heavy. This is a Combine Metro Officer that specializes in suppressing targets while taking hits. They are decked out in heavy body armor, an energy shield face mask, and a machine gun. The armor allow to take a hail of gunfire without going down. This heavy armor, however, makes the Metro Heavy a very slow unit on the battlefield. Their machine gun allows them to rain a hail of gunfire from close to long range for long periods of time, though they do prefer medium range combat.
This tank of a Metro office does have one glaring weak spot, the head. Under most circumstances their head is protected by their face mask, which is rated to withstand the power of a combine energy ball. If this face mask takes enough damage though, it will break, leaving their head exposed. Once this happens, a few well placed shots are all that is needed to take them down.
Features of this NPC include:
- Weapon: Combine Suppressor Machine Gun
- Destructible face shield
- High damage resistance
- Slow movement speed
- Dynamic behavior based on distance to target
- Metropolice animations
Feel free to offer feedback and suggestions. Such things help me with future development of addons. This is the first NPC I have tried adding destructible parts to, it will not be the last.
Enjoy!
