Suit Charger

Template:Hl2 point This is the HEV suit charger which gradually replenishes suit power on use, until empty or the suit is at full power.

PlacementTip.gifPlacement Tip:
  • Chargers are best placed with a height of around 48 units between the floor and the center of the recharger entity.
  • To ensure that the player will gain battery rather than lose it, place them in areas occluded from immediate danger, like constant enemy fire from helicopters or tanks. Consider however that, since the player is required to stare at the wall while they are using the charger, they can be used to create tension by placing them where an enemy might still reach the player. Note that chargers could also add good or bad stress to the player if they have to exterminate a load of enemies in a room which a health charger is placed before using it.

Notes

  • A suit charger will contain the same total charge regardless of the difficulty setting.
  • A normal suit charger (without any flags checked or cvars changed) will be able to discharge a total of 75 power points (30 in HL2DM).
  • A Citadel recharger will be able to discharge a total of 500 power points (200 in HL2DM), overcharging the HEV suit to a maximum of 200 power points, and while recharging it will also heal health.
  • Kleiner's recharger will be able to discharge a total of 25 power points, regardless of cvar settings.
  • A Citadel/Kleiner recharger combo (with both flags checked) will be able to discharge a total of 30 power points (since Kleiner's recharger is set to 25 power points no matter what, and a Citadel recharger rounds it up to the nearest 10), overcharging the HEV suit to a maximum of 200 power points, and while recharging it will also heal (a total of 15) health for free.
