Our Benefactors
Gordon Freeman enters the Combine Citadel inside a prisoner transport pod, witnessing the inner workings of the alien stronghold before breaking free. After a confiscation field accidentally supercharges his Gravity Gun, he fights his way through heavily defended Citadel hallways using only this upgraded weapon. The chapter ends as Gordon enters another pod to be delivered to Dr. Breen's office.

Tips
- The supercharged Gravity Gun can pick up organic matter, allowing you to pull enemies directly toward you and launch them into walls or other targets.
- Grab glowing energy balls from the Combine generators or plasma dispensers and launch them at crowds of soldiers for rapid kills.
- You do not need to conserve energy balls; plasma streams continuously produce them throughout the level's puzzle and combat zones.
- Use the primary fire of the supercharged Gravity Gun to rip consoles, heavy monitors, and Combine barriers out of walls to use as lethal projectiles or shields.
