Sticky Launcher

Safe

The Sticky Launcher is a weapon cut from Half-Life 2. It can be found in the playable Half-Life 2 Beta.

Overview
Appearing like the classic Half-Life 2 pistol, it shoots red blobs that stick to anything, including enemies. The player can then detonate them with the secondary fire key. It also has long range firing capabilities (like a grenade) if pointed higher. It uses medium rounds, which are also used by the OICW and AK-47.

It is unknown what faction was to use the weapon nor if it was to be in the final version of the game.

Trivia

 * The weapon also makes an appearance in Team Fortress 2, as the Demoman employs a weapon of near identical description as his secondary weapon. However, it only sticks to walls, floors, and other surfaces. If a bomb makes contact with another character, it simply bounces off.


 * The Sticky Launcher is included in Half-Life 2 mods such as Missing Information and SMOD.
