Description:

I’m Back!

This mod replaces the default HL2 Hunter with the BRDR-02 (Hunter-BRDM Hybrid). The mod also replaces the Ministrider in EP1

Some lore if you’re interested:
The BRDR-01 (Boyevoy Razvedyvatelnyy Dozornyy Robot) is a Soviet Tripedal Reconnaissance/Light Infantry Support Robot. Yet another result of Soviet experimentation with Black Mesa artifacts, the machine was originally designed for rescue and retrieval of Cosmonauts from dangerous and hard-to-reach areas of frozen Tundras. It’s relatively low silhouette, high mobility and adaptability attracted the attention of the Soviet Army, which at the time lacked a sufficient support platform for the newly introduced T-55HL. Thus, the BRDR-02 was born. Nicknamed by soldiers "The Trashcan", due to its rather peculiar hull shape, the BRDR-02 became a valuable addition to the Warsaw Pact arsenal, fulfilling a multitude of roles from Support to Recon. Its highly agressive programming earned itself a NATO reporting name "Hunter".

!!! BUGS !!!
– It’s legs may sometimes glitch out. Sadly this happens with a regular Hunter as well, so I cannot fix this even If I wanted to.
– Hopefully I’ve managed to fix this but, since I have no reliable way to test and replicate the issue, be aware that: On rare occasions, the Hunters ragdoll may violently glitch out and start flying uncontrollably around the map. Sounds funny, I know. But I really hope I fixed this.

Credit also goes to Kally, for making/porting the original model to GMod. I only made the Hull, legs, blade arms and Head.
Credit for the sounds goes to Avalanche Studios.
